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. :)

Pretty much adding in what others have said. Watch the tutorial:

and come to some more livestreams to see how it's done...and then before you go live for the first time, let me check your levels! This is so important to a good audio quality.

We can set up a time to meet in your chat room about 30 minutes before you go live.

Also, timezones are so important. Don't want to leave out the europeans. The best day to stream is Saturday, so people can stay up late. I am American, in the pacific time zone, so I have to stream early to make it reasonable for western europe.

I find 1pm is the best time for me, as that is 4pm eastern and 9-10pm western europe. It is the middle of the night for russia and early morning sunday for japan and australia.

You can't hit all the timezones just right, but this is the best I've found.

Shoot me an ask on my tumblr site. I'll help you all that I can. Believe me, livesimming is GREAT fun. And people are happy to watch a lot of different things! We've had great hood tours...tutorials...bodyshop games...photo shoot setups...and then just buiding decorating and playing!

There is lots you can share that we would be happy to see. The Livesimming community is very nice (NO drama) and friendly and happy to be getting to know each other.

My only rule in my chat room is we are all simming family. Everyone is nice and friendly to the noobies and that's it. Otherwise, chat gets kinda fun and naughty and... good times.

Lots of laughing.

Thank you for all of this advice. I will check out the tutorial.

It seems like 5:30 pm on Saturday here would hit your ideal window of time, which isn't even a bad time for me with the baby. It should work just fine.

It's very generous of you to offer to check the levels for me. Thank you! I will take you up on that, for sure.

What I've experienced in the livesimming community so far has been great. It's exactly as you described, very welcoming and positive. Always nice to see! :)
