How and why?
Well it all started as an off hand comment my friend made. We were chatting about the sims 4 and other nerdy thing. She said something along the lines of ādo you think there is a tarot deck made with sims or something.ā So we did some quick Google and Tumblr searches and found out that there is one free deck but she wasnāt a fan. We also saw a few people recreate a specific card or two but not a whole deck. So she asked if i was up for a challenge and i said why not.
It will do me some good I think. Itās a great opportunity to improve my editing skills. While I am not a super experienced with tarot reading, it is a subject that fascinates me and I am learning more and improve. With her help and extensive research I believe i have a good understanding of the basic 78 tarot cards. My wish is not to offend anyone or misrepresent the meaning of the cards.
So what are your plans?
Well Iām glad youāve asked. So for simplicity sake I am basing it off the Rider-Waite decks. It seems to be most popular and I want it to be a deck easily accessible by all. I will try to include some imagery from the original deck; however, there will be some artistic liberties taken.
The deck will include:
Major arcana
Minor arcana(all four suits)
All the artwork as mentioned will be created using sims designed by me with the help of Custom Content clothes or object. Then they will be edited with Gimp because this college student canāt afford Photoshop.
My estimated time frame will be 4 months or so. Thatās because i really want to do a quality job with the art work and over all design.
Interested yet?
Great if so feel free to follow this Tumblr for updates and photos of my progress. If I gain enough interest I may put together a kickstarter campaign for pre-orders and offer other cool things. Tell anyone else that maybe interested.
Future plans
Well at the moment I have a few but lets get this deck out of the way first. I may create a āfree deckā using iconic characters from the Sims 4. Since theyāre copyrighted I legally canāt profit from it. There are also ideas for creating cards with different themes. Currently the deck Iām working on will have a midieval theme. Thereās plenty of ideas no need to worry.
Alot has happened since I was commissioned by my friend to create this deck. I've moved several times and production had been put on hold. However, now that my life is a bit under control I'd like to start this idea up again. This is a project I'd like to complete more for myself than anything.
