Picked Upload!
This is a picked upload! It showcases some of the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.
This tool allows you to make custom animated neighborhood previews!

Instead of just having a plain image, make your own flyovers and put them in-game. Or use whatever video you want that shows off your neighborhood.
How to Use
Extract the exe file somewhere and run it. The interface will look like this:

1. Input a video file. (The tool should be able to accept most formats including .gif/.mp4/etc but if it doesn't, try converting it to a .mp4)
2. Set a place to output the file to.
3. In your neighborhood folder, insert the .reia file, for example if your neighborhood is N002 the file should be called N002_Neighborhood.reia
4. Try launching the game and see if the preview works!
Note for developers
The nitty gritty details of the .reia format can be found here: https://github.com/ammaraskar/SimsR...#format-details[/i]
