Livesimming

[strangetomato]

I'm interested in giving this livesimming thing a try, but I have questions about it. When's the best time of day and of the week to do it? What do I need to get set up? How much notice do I need to give? What do you think I should I do on my livestream? Have you done one? If so, where can I find it?

I'd love to hear about your own experiences with it. :)

LivLucas did quite an awesome tutorial on livesimming a while back here (http://www.livestream.com/livlukas/video?clipId=pla_32fca249-2397-40ca-acfa-f5efcb482c8d). it covers all the basics. I learned all i know about streaming from her.

Be sure to get an "old" livestream account though. If you create one on new.livestream.com, people will need to sign in with either a livestream account or facebook to just watch it. It's really annoying.
Try signing up <ahref="https://secure.livestream.com/myaccount/selectwizard"> here that should work.

I'm really excited to see you stream though! You could stream your desktop background and I would watch XD But maybe you could do a set tour or something like that?

Thank you! I'm going to check that out. s655 also mentioned that on my tumblr post.

Ah, that's also good to know! :) Thanks.

Haha! I can't imagine that being very entertaining, though I do have a very unique accent. XD We're known for "talking funny" here, but I think the upper Canada accent is way funnier, eh? ;) The Newfoundland accent is ~cool~.

Some sort of set tour (or at least what passes for a set in my game) or visiting households in my game might be fun. I could do a bit of a behind the scenes thing with a couple of loose ends that didn't get tied in my story. I found a couple of them when I restored my old Strangetown. Plot ideas that I didn't end up using, but still exist in the hood, and that sort of thing.
