Livestreaming
In order to livestream, your sim must have an active social networking blog. The "Livestream..." interaction will then appear on a computer's pie menu.
Sims can livestream for 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, or indefinitely.
Livestreaming raises a sim's Social Networking skill and hidden Video Game skill.
Each hour of streaming counts as one blog post. Sims will either gain or lose followers every hour they stream.
Sims who livestream will start receiving tips once they have 50 followers and start gaining celebrity points once they reach 300 followers.
They will have a 50% chance of receiving tips and a 40% chance of gaining celebrity points for every 10 minutes they stream after the follower thresholds are met.
There are 15 video games your sims can stream. 6 are from The Sims 3 and 9 are conversions from The Sims 4 with proper audio and visuals.
