My Own Piece of Nothingess (Info page)

 My Own Piece of Nothingness is a three part movie telling the story of Abbie, a tomboy who's had a difficult life since her mother died. Living with an abusive father and being mistreated by the men in her life, she desperately searches for happiness.

Production

"My Own Piece of Nothingness" is one of the oldest ideas Fröy has had for Cumagical Studios. The original script (which was rewritten from scratch ahead of the actual production) was written in 2018.
The footage for the first two parts were actually recorded ahead of the movie The Lady at 5 Orion Street. However, since the latter was a smaller project, Llunkttut prioritized it and finished the editing process of that video first.

Trivia

 • While never stated in the movie, Abbie's mother died from leukemia.

• Fröy summed up the concept of the movie with the sentence "The life of that tomboy we all saw in school and thought was hot but none of us really knew."

• In the original script, Abbie was in a punk band together with Ronnie and their friends Stan and Kim. This was one of the reasons why it took so long to start making the movie; Fröy waited for an expansion to Sims 4 that would add the feature to create a band. When it never came, he finally decided to rewrite the script and leave this part out. The band would have been central to the plot.

• In the original script, band member Stan is the one who enters a "friends with benefits" relationship with Abbie, since he would have been friends with Corey and could get weed from him easily.

• One of the partygoers in Part 1 is Warren from Fuck the System.

• Originally, Abbie's job interview was to take place in Part 3 (that's where she was coming back from when she almost walked in on Ronnie masturbating) but it was cut and put into Part 2 instead to even out the runtime of all three parts. Otherwise, Part 2 would have been significantly shorter than the others.

• The spanking scene in Part 2 took nearly two hours to record. Most of it was filmed when Fröy realized Abbie's makeup wasn't applied to the "Sleepwear outfit" she was wearing for the scene, which would be inconsistent with previous scenes. He added the makeup and proceeded to re-shoot the entire scene.

• The pornstar Ronnie is seen masturbating to is Gabbie Carter.

• Abbie has several band posters and shirts throughout the film, including that of Radiohead, Stone Sour, Slayer, Avenged Sevenfold and Nine Inch Nails. 

• In Part 3, Ronnie can be seen wearing a Queens Of The Stone Age shirt.

• During the recording process, Abbie grew to be one of Fröy's favorite characters in any Cumagical story.

• In Part 3, Abbie and Ronnie are watching the movie Star Trek: First Contact while smoking weed.

• The punks offering to take Abbie with them to California in Part 3 is the same gang that appeared in Fuck the System. Their leader Jimmy also made a brief appearance in Agent Fatale, where he was locked in a cell at the police station.

Fuck the System is now released!

 A group of punks, discontent with society, decide to take out their frustrations on the female Mayor.

This is just a short one, without much story. It was mostly made for Fröy to experiment a little bit with making his own CC in the game. However, some of these characters may be relevant to our next project - and sharp eyed viewers might even recognize one of them from an earlier story ;)

You can watch it here.

The Lady at 5 Orion Street (Info page)

The Lady at 5 Orion Street is an erotic comedy by Cumagical Studios, following the events on an idyllic street in a 1950s small town where an attractive young woman has recently moved in. The local housewives grow jealous and convince themselves that there's something suspicious about the new arrival - not realizing how right they are.

 Production

In preparation for making the video, Fröy and Llunkttut binge watched movies from the 1940s and 50s, mainly comedies and noir films, in order to get the atmosphere right.
It took less than three weeks from writing the script to exporting the finished video file, making this project one of the quickest to date, especially considering its length.
Early on, Fröy played with the idea of making it a horror movie, with Lorraine using sex to take over the minds of the male residents, and the housewives teaming up to fight her. However, since there had been so many dark and gloomy horror videos in a short period of time, this idea was scrapped. It was also believed that comedy would better fit the time period and quirky atmosphere.

Trivia

  • Lorraine's actual name, which is never revealed in the movie, is Xzizxexzi.
  • Frank is a WW2 veteran, making several references to his service. At one point he mentions Okinawa, hinting that he was part of the Pacific War.
  • The movie was initially planned to be entirely in black and white, further emphasizing the time period. This idea was scrapped. However, a remnant of this can be seen during the title screen, which starts off black and white but then has the color fade back in.
  • The concept of the movie is one of very few that had its origin in the game itself, where the player can create aliens with "disguises" that makes them appear like regular Sims.
  • Lorraine's character hints at her origin, both in the surname "Venus" (being her home planet) and decorating the wall in her living room with a painting of outer space, which doesn't match the stereotypical 1950s decor.
  • In a deleted scene, Lorraine is sunbathing in a bikini on her front porch, causing all the men who are walking by to fall over upon seeing her. Eventually, Ruth shows up and scolds Lorraine for being "indecent". The scene was cut to shorten runtime.
  • In the first scene inside Lorraine's house, her ceiling has a wooden color. Later, it's a blank white. This was due to a recurring bug related to the recent feature of choosing ceiling colors in The Sims 4.
  • On Lorraine's TV, right before her sex scene with Joe, a weather forecast from 1959 is shown.
  • Having studied human society from afar, Lorraine designed her human form specifically to make the people in the neighborhood like and accept her. This is why she appears as an extremely busty blonde, having observed how such women often recieve very positive reactions, and not understanding the sexual aspect of these interactions.
  • Elton Britt's "Trip to the Moon", one of the songs playing during the sex montage, is another reference to Lorraine's extraterrestrial nature.
