Here are Sims2 players, right? What would I need to set up the game for a Classic Trek scenario with Spock (and all the others, but his ears are the most problematic point, I guess)?

And how long would it take to get enough Sims2 material for a vid?

It's all [livejournal.com profile] odogoddess' fault. Really.

EDIT: Why didn't anyone tell me that Sims2 comes with a Movie Making Feature?? Did anyone test it? Does it work well??

EDIT2: OH.My.God. I'm doomed. I'm so much doomed...there's a whole machinima animation corner of folks who make movies with Sims2 (like here). Oh. Fuck.

(And yes, I should sleep but I'm awake as hell and therefore drinking whiskey liqueur now in the idea of helping the process...)

Actually, pointed ears are a standard ear-variant. We can thank the popularity of LOTR and elves for that, I suppose! ;) All ears, just like all other facial features, can be tweaked to get the shape you desire. In other words, you actually have to construct the faces yourself. However, due to the easy-to-use, yet advanced user interface, this is quite easy, even for people who have no artistic experience. And you have that, so no problem!

What you would need are uniforms. Since I'm not into TOS, I haven't looked around to see if there are any available on the web, but it is very likely. Depending on the spesifics of your setting, you might also need custom wallpapers and objects. There's a lot of SF stuff out there though, so that shouldn't be too hard.

Once you have the game set up, how much time you'll need to gather material for a vid would depend on what exactly you are looking for.

I haven't played the game in a while, but it's too much fun! :D

Well I was going to say to look up elf ears with the elf ear mesh but I guess people already have you on the right track.

I didn't know there was a movie feature. I'm going to have to play with it again.

Just don't pay for any mods because you can usually get them free from the free sites.
