đ Building a Popcorn-Themed Movie Theater in The Sims
The video script begins with the host announcing the construction of a unique movie theater in The Sims game, made entirely out of popcorn. This creative project is the culmination of a food-themed build series called 'Food Court.' The host reminisces about previously built food-shaped businesses like a pancake diner, cake bakery, and Pizza alley. The project is sponsored by Travel Town, a match-merge puzzle game, which the host enthusiastically endorses. The video also teases a special event within the game featuring the Great British baking show, which the host is eager to participate in. The construction process involves choosing the right colors and shapes to mimic a popcorn bucket, including the use of striped wallpapers and crown molding. The host also discusses the use of in-game cheats to move objects and the importance of variety in design.
đ Designing the Movie Theater's Interior and Exterior
The second paragraph details the process of designing the movie theater's interior and exterior. The host and their sister discuss creating a ticket window and a soda cup-shaped object, adhering to a red and white color scheme. They contemplate curving the sidewalk and adding more curves to the build. The conversation moves to the inclusion of a working window, a vent from Batu, and the creation of a drive-in theater with a parking lot. The host also talks about adding string lights, palm trees, and a special event featuring the Great British baking show. The paragraph concludes with the host thanking Travel Town for sponsoring the video and teasing the next steps in the construction process.
đŦ Constructing a Multi-Level Movie Theater with a Surprise
The third paragraph outlines the construction of a multi-level movie theater with a surprise element. The host and Cara, presumably the sister, discuss the layout of the theater, including the lobby, two movie theaters, bathrooms, and a mysterious surprise. They decide on a red carpet theme and consider various flooring options like checkerboard and wood. The paragraph also covers the creation of a concessions area, the addition of vending machines, and the strategic placement of movie posters. The host suggests using film reel-like objects as a decorative element and introduces the idea of a stock market ticket display. The paragraph ends with the decision to reveal the surprise at the end of the video.
đģ Adding Bathrooms and Movie-Themed Decor
In the fourth paragraph, the focus shifts to adding bathrooms and movie-themed decor to the theater. The host talks about the importance of easily accessible bathrooms and the inclusion of movie posters and cardboard cutouts. They discuss the use of lighting to enhance the movie-going experience and decide on the placement of a clock and a TV screen in the bathroom for entertainment. The paragraph also covers the creation of a basement area, the use of black wallpaper to blend in the exterior, and the design of tiered seating in the movie theaters. The host and their sister contemplate the idea of back-to-back movie theaters and the addition of plants for a touch of nature.
đĨ Designing the Projection Room and Arcade
The fifth paragraph describes the design of the projection room and the decision to transform the upper level into an arcade. The host and their sister move the seating to align with the screen and discuss the use of curtains and spotlights to create a theater-like atmosphere. They consider using a movie camera as a projector and adding a bar-height table for a unique touch. The paragraph also covers the creation of an arcade with games like Dance Dance Revolution, karaoke, mini basketball, and a photo booth. The host expresses excitement about the prize booth area and the idea of having a closed space for storing prizes.
đ Finalizing the Arcade and Naming the Venue
The sixth and final paragraph wraps up the construction with the finishing touches on the arcade and the naming of the venue. The host and their sister add neon signs, a guitar poster, and discuss the idea of having a prize booth.

Transcripts

The Sims oh yeah but it's made of
popcorn that's right it's what you've

food court o oh and did we mention that

shaped like food
because because we wanted to that's why
you got your pancake Diner you got your
cake bakery and of course our latest
edition Pizza alley the hottest new bowl
in joint in town it was so freaking fun

same sponsors came back and they said

cutest and most satisfying free to
download match merge puzzle game that I
personally cannot put down even when my
sister is asking me questions really
needs me to respond asking for my
attention not saying that happened yeah
it's happened like multiple times this
game is just too fun you have these
energy items that are like buckets or
baskets and when you tap them they
release these like little objects that
you can merge together to create even
cuter little objects and then you sell
those objects to the local townies why
you may ask cuz Travel Town has been hit
by a terrible storm so it's up to us to
fix the town by rebuilding all these
adorable little shops and stalls and you
know how much we like building we love
it seriously travel town was like hey
can you guys be at level 11 so you can
participate in our special event and I
was like yeah totally totally sure I'll
have to work on that knowing full well
that your girl is at level 36 did you
say special event oh yeah the special
event do you like the Great British
baking show uh yes I do but you know
this we watch it every season together
just go with it I'm trying to get
somewhere yes I do that is good news
person I have never met before because
the Great British baking show is coming
to Travel Town wait that's actually so
cool I know this limited time special
baking event will not only have you
whipping up delicious treats but also
doing Special daily challenges with Paul
and Bre look at them in the game they're
adorable I'm going to get Star Baker
before you hey wait no you're not I'm
already working on it we have to finish
this first right if you want to check

code that you can use on screen too
thank you so much again to Travel Town
for sponsoring the video I'm just going
to get one Hollywood handshake then I'm
going to send you guys back to us
building or I could just send you back
myself uh-huh
so when we're thinking popcorn y'all
ideally what we're going to be going for
is like a bucket shape I think that's
what we start with and we see how it
goes okay so we go with like the largest
Circle size of course we do because the
larger it is the worse the curve but I
don't want to do no we cannot do this
stop stacking when I think popcorn I
think like classic red and white right
yeah we have to do Stripes I think I
know a wallpaper okay I thought we would
really get it out of your system when we
did worst wallpapers but it only seems
seems to have encouraged you to put it
on even more things honestly looks
really good on the
circle just it do we have something that
has a strip yes oh
oh I had forgotten about the crown
molding which um that one's definite now
I keep thinking of things that we could
do but then we can't on regular walls
you could go white and then red like
iconic the problem with curved walls is
that it does the whole thing guys be so
for real how attached are to the curve
right now wouldn't you rather see a bag
wouldn't everyone yes yes yeah I if I
see one no it might go all downhill for
me I've got to be very clear with
everyone yeah I think that looks
approximately popcorn bucket size as
everybody knows Cara has a constant
running algorithm in her head of how
tall popcorn buckets are just go with a
bold red oh the Bolder the better if
we're going to do red I want it to be
punch me in the face red I agree a
scalloped top I've got a couple of
thoughts you have ideas on this yes when
since when since now this is what I was
thinking of you would need to sit down
you're tired hear me out just like make
this big and then like put it at the
edge kind of like that that looks so
sick there is popcorn and debug we're
just going to use the right bracket key
to size it up oh my gosh so big we
always have bb. move objects on which is
the cheat that lets you move things you
can hold alt on your keyboard and then
spin your mouse around and it'll let you
turn it to any direction you want that
thing to go just to give it like a
little variety so it doesn't look like
we just copy and pasted the same popcorn
piece which we did would it be cute to
have a couple of pieces that have kind
of like popped out no that's quite
cute that's enough popcorn let's go
ahead and settle on a door so what are
we thinking I feel like big glass is
definitely the vibe a ticket window ooh
that's a fun idea what do you think we
can make a popcorn piece that's like big
enough to be one oh soda cup to go with
the popcorn how do we not do that oh no
but like a square soda cup right okay
and then a second no no gasping yet do
not get them excited for this don't
worry I'm not going to do three St just
getting the platform she's making it
like a Super Gulp and then for the cup
it should
be I mean we're going with like a Red
and White theme so I'm thinking either
red or white right let's do red yeah I
think Red's more exciting there's no way
we can find a straw no I already know we
have one
no man y'all the cup was the right idea
that's really fun that was a good Vision
I do wonder if I want to curve the
sidewalk is that am I asking for too
much you want to curve the sidewalk I do
remember when earlier we were like oh
good we don't have any more curves that
we have to do in this build and now
you've decided to add at least two more
once you start the curves you don't stop
how lucky would we be if there's a
window that actually works for Curves
don't worry y'all it is open for
business and we're also accepting your
money if we maybe get a vent from Batu
obviously of of course if we shrink it
it could be one of those little like
talkr things that you see at the movies
oh it's coming together it really is oh
we're the silliest girls in school I'm
not silly I'm the silliest girl in
school there's a movie theater piece I
don't know if it's from get famous it is
from get famous what and then maybe like
we do the logo up top here yes and then
we'll do the the name of the theater up
at the top should we do some posters
yeah that'd be great oh my gosh there's
only one showing in town if this theater
is filled with clowns no one's coming
they need some lights yeah they really
do okay wait I'm waiting it's not string
lights nobody says string lights but
it's a different kind of light don't
bring this back but we pulled this out
the other day we cut half of this
because literally I pulled this thing we
tried every mirror in the game but was
it all because the Sims team said one
day Karen and Connie are going to do a
popcorn movie theater build and one day
we'll make it so that it doesn't even
fit the poster what if we take these and
flip them and add them around the movie
posters if this works I'm going to
scream I'm thinking I want some palms
palms Scream movie you know what I'm
saying that's what I thought the soda
needs a door absolutely we'll put a door
on the don't you worry we here at CNC
entertainment value our employees let's
just definitely do the inside of the
ticket booth I'm going to try and curve
this um Good Luck to me the Sims has
still not given us curved cabinets and
has that stopped Karen and I who needs
them anything else for company morale
that you think would go a long way a
plant this one oh yes Bob just like our
plant is it name Bob yes Bob
we also had a plant named Bob we could
put an N next to our Bob because he
tragically didn't make it but this Bob
is going to make it put a microphone
into the cabinets that's interesting um
I will look I like that thought put it
really close to the register here yeah
like
there so let's do a little work on the
back a couple of dumpsters right they
look so small couple of taller dumpsters
there's no such thing as a twostory
dumpster should we oh that's so dumb we
shouldn't do that okay now you have to
tell me would it be kind of cool if we
added like a little parking lot area
back here and then we made this like a
small drivein well now we have to do it
I know what you mean okay Triple Decker
dumpster so this is like a little trick
if you want to make parking lots and
stuff in The Sims first you want to grab
like some kind of black top concrete
then we're going to go and we're going
to find some kind of lowly fence and
we're just going to draw lines like this
that'll make parking spaces Strang comes
in clutch for things like this it has a
lot of stuff kind of like Street and
City themed right there there's the curb
oh nice good yeah it's got weird good
build it's called like something like
stop right is that a British phrase we
call them something different here I
think unless we do call these an America
and if so don't tell me reverse the
truck please oh that's a good idea so
they can sit in the back of the bed
should we oh imagine if you brought like
some pillows in a blanket and you sat
outside of the movie theater cute that's
stuff y'all are you guys calling that
carbert cuz it's blue I'm obsessed with
the way yall can see Wilbur and
everything can we do a couple more Palms
back here not only should we do Palms we
have string light Palms how do you know
that just off the top of your head I
know every single string light object
that is in this game and I willing to
bring it out at any time grab your
popcorn it's movie time I think the
drivein movie theater was inspired
thanks care if we can't get too many
screens inside we'll at least be able to
have one out here as well I'm so happy
we got the drink in yeah you're right I
know I was fighting the circles but you
guys were right it looks really good
Bob's currently Manning the ticket booth
all by himself today he is the employee
of the month that's right every month
well I guess we got to do inside what so
the first floor obviously this is going
to be the lobby up here on the second
floor we thought this is where you're
going to watch the movies now it starts
getting real dicey when you put two
Creeds in here so Cara what did we think
of we decided to dig a Little Deeper so
we get in are two movie theaters and
then we'll have two bathrooms in the
back here as well and then up here is a
surprise yes a surprise for all of you
right it's not a surprise to us who know
what it should be we never do like
double wide staircases double the fun
baby well if you like that double I
actually had another idea double double
that's right two
staircases
wow we just want to get the same sort of
thing downstairs as well so I'm going to
hold control and that's going to place
them in the exact same position but
downstairs so now we need kind of a
checkin concession sort of area you feel
that that blocks the staircase entrance
everybody just has to side step in I
think we should instead maybe go to the
side what if we like have two sets on
either side like we have concessions and
then maybe like drinks or something I
don't hate that okay she doesn't hate it
everybody carpet down the middle I love
that idea yeah we said red carpet
yesterday that sets a mood I feel like I
think so too that's a tone that's a
signal what floors do you think match
the Grandeur the beauty everything that
is everything that we're doing right now
like maybe some wood ones I was thinking
checkerboard wait yes actually we've
done checkerboard in all of the other
builds too it's not that we're using it
too much it's just that we're trying to
keep a consistent theme now we need a
wall spooky theater haunted theater no
wait don't say that that's actually
really exciting and we should not talk
about that I mean this one's not so bad
ooh I feel also like the movie posters
could go really easily like into that
area would it be weird and everyone can
say if this is weird what if we Chang
these back cabinets to like red instead
I don't take a second take a second and
look at it look at all the SES I like it
this bar for the drink side yeah cuz
it's got the little drink fountain in it
oh care genius the black that's
literally so good I it was the first one
I tried well no that that side has
something fun I feel like the other side
should have something fun you think it's
feeling left out yeah oh wait you know
where you go to get like candy at the
movie theater and you can see inside
those glass cases it's going to be a
little tall drink it and then we put two
and then we put a counter in the middle
okay that sounds incredible this back
section is nice but I would love a
little bit of height and dimension what
if we remove a couple of these cabinets
and we add vending machines with drinks
back here oh I love that almost like
they have like little fridges back here
yes exactly I'm thinking I kind of want
to break it up a little bit maybe oh
cool and then maybe we could put a sign
or something over this section showing
times wait wait wa wait wait wait close
your eyes close your eyes whoever said
showing times wait but I want to see no
you can't see it yet now open your eyes
stop it's about the stock market ticket
it's the stock ticket but doesn't that
look like all the show TI oh my God
that's so good do we think it would be
Overkill to do a shelf why don't say it
like that no no no go on do we pop some
pop up here and I've never called it pop
before in my life we grew up in Texas so
we called Everything Coke I think up
north they referred to everything as
soda and then in the midwest they call
everything pop pop Supremacy okay
there's a lot of strong opinion about
this in the chat checking out I'm
already checking it out and it looks
sick Let's Chill on this side let's
duplicate on the other I was just about
to say this guys we are in a popcorn
movie theater right yeah so obviously we
should have some popcorn that looks
slick I think those are functional too
back there right they should be in
theory as much as they can be you know
what I wish we could do you know how
they will show you the different size of
popcorns that you can get oh yeah I wish
that we had like a bucket wait stop is
it literally here that's a popcorn
bucket right oh for sure and then we
just do three different sizes of it up
top yes yes so now K can you put some
popcorn in there yeah yeah yeah sure
sure sure can we get some trash cans oh
yes good we definitely need the people
to throw away their trash we have enough
room to put movie posters I thought
maybe we could turn to this side and
then we could size this up and this
could be like their number one display
movie that they're like trying to get
you to go and see I think we need to do
some seing right I liked the idea of the
back to back I love the idea of the back
