![]() This time, the chat was with Haeju Chung, the Lead Animator for the pack, and looked at animating for different age groups.EA also included more info on how an object goes from design to reality in a blog post here. This I found fascinating, as it shows images of how it progresses and also covers some of the unique actions for the chair. Next up is the rocking chair, and a look at how an object goes from concept design to finished asset. Conor also chatted to Drew Boles, the Audio Designer, and looked at how to translate songs into Simlish.No word on who, if anyone, will be featured in the pack in Simlish – any suggestions for songs you’d like to see? It calms your Sims and gives a focussed buff which is great for times you need to concentrate – like on that Freezer Bunny knitting pattern. This is what I’m personally most excited about for this pack – the Metal station is back! What can I say, I’m a rock chick at heart! Listening to Metal music will give you an energised buff and has a couple of unique interactions! There is also a Focus station, which does as it says. Or ask great auntie Mabel for! As well as previewing the clothes, SimGuruConor also chatted with Justin Allen, the UX designer. What makes this different? Well, in Nifty Knitting, you can actually see the potential clothes in Create A Sim, to allow you to preview them, and see what you want to learn to make. After all, who didn’t have a jumper at the back of the closet knitted by great auntie Mabel?! But, we’ve seen similar before – The Sims 2 Free Time included a sewing activity that allowed you to craft clothing. We knew the pack was focussed on knitting and we now know that Sims can add knitted items to the wardrobe, to share with the family. These do come with the caveat that everything is still in development, and may change, but they give us an exciting look not only into the pack but also the process of creating a Stuff Pack. We still don’t have a release date as yet, but over the last few weeks, SimGuruConor has been sharing a series of Deep Dive articles on the forum focussing on specific areas of game play. Once the theme and style were decided, the next 2 votes covered the CAS and Build/Buy assets that would be offered, and then finally we picked the name, Nifty Knitting, which was announced at the beginning of May Next we chose the art style, with DIY Delight winning over Granny Chic and Cozy Craft Workshop. Arts and Crafts won against Happy Haunts, Self Care Routines, Fun Tech, and Science and Technology. In November, the first vote went live, giving us the chance to vote on the theme of the new community game pack.
