I was browsing this website and some of the videos I saw are really good. Especially a couple of the ones made to music. I think the one for “Helena” and “Home” were better than the originals.
So, how do they make them? Is there a special program used? Or do these people just have a lot of patience?
I don’t know but there are some great ones out there. YouTube has lots that are hilarious.
The sim site has a tutorial.

They have a lot of patience. The game allows you to record AVI, which they then import into a movie editor, combining and editing the clips they made in-game and adding music.
There are also user-created hacks to pose the sims or have them display emotions, but getting the stupid sims to do the right thing at the right time is a lot more work still than I myself can handle!
