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. :)

Well, pretty much what Keoni said. Make sure to open a original livestream account, choosing Broadcast on the link she gave you, and follow Liv/Jessa's tutorial for more technical details.

As for hours, it'll depend on you timezone (and time, of course), but ideally try to look for an hour that isn't too late or too early for people in Europe (preferably on weekends for obvious reasons).

I'll be awesome to see you stream. :)

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely check out Jessa's tutorial and the advice I've been given for picking a time. It seems like early evening here works out to be the best time, with us being slightly ahead of the rest of North America. (LOL! I get such a kick out of saying that.)

I think it'll be a lot of fun. Have you done any?

It'll be really awesome if you get to livestream, even if just to show around a bit of your hood or anything you do ;)

I did livesim a couple of times (there's a link to the channel on my tumblr), but nothing too planned. I just fired up procaster with the game when I had sometime for myself and let people know thru tumblr. It was never big, but even with 5 or 6 people in the chat it's really fun (We are bit random here, especially on weekends, so planning days ahead doesn't work for me lol)

I think I'd definitely go low key with it and just play or show off the inner workings of my story hood. From what I've seen in just visiting other livestreams, I have enough of a difficult time following chat and everything else when I'm just visiting the chat room. I can't imagine doing the stream and trying to do it! XD It'll need to be simple.

That sounds like the best approach to me. I'll go check out your videos when I get a chance. :) I'm much like you with a generally unplanned approach to life, but I would have to set out the time pretty deliberately with Baby Tomato involved. I'm sure Mr. Tomato will help me out so I can devote an hour or so to it.
