Analysis (Written by Immortallies)

 * Video: Sims Saga Entry #3 - Skills (Runtime - 16:13)


 * 00:02 - Audio distortion as Felix starts the game up. Felix is the selected Sim.


 * 00:16 - It's been raining, and lightning flashes.


 * 00:44 - Technical screen is continually flashing.


 * 1:22 - Commentary: Felix and Jen explain they're going to build their skills, and Felix buys an easal to paint on.
 * 2:29 - Felix opens his inventory.
 * Contents: A present from Mr. Humble (from the base game; applies to every new family in a house), the boot he caught in an earlier entry, and 3 of some object (looks like a magazine)


 * 2:35 - Felix can't put the newspaper in his inventory. (Fairly certain this is a base game thing but unsure).


 * 2:56 - Technical screen flashes some more.


 * 4:18 - Felix gains a point in Mechanical skill.


 * 4:40 - Commentary: Felix and Jen discuss some of their life outside the game, and Felix specifically mentions that the pair are trying to play the game "realistically." They have essentially created themselves inside the game. Felix mentions the only difference between him and his Sim is that his Sim has a beard.


 * 4:56 - Notification box pops up to show that bills have arrived. A woman is standing in front of the house.


 * 5:34 - Game lags for a bit as Felix tries to speed up the game.


 * 5:50 - Commentary: Jen says "While I'm hungry in the Sims [game], I'm also hungry in real life."


 * 5:54 - Felix gains another point of Mechanical skill.


 * 6:00 - Jen isn't in the mood to study anything.


 * 6:23 - Commentary: Felix explains he's tried everything to make the game less choppy, but nothing has helped.


 * 6:45 - Black dog, known as the "Pack Leader" in the base game, is digging a hole outside the front door. This is just one time of many it will appear.


 * 8:27 - Felix and Jen jump on the couch to increase their "Fun" meter.


 * 8:55 - JenSim is sent to study cooking. There's a brief in-game echo from Felix.


 * 9:17 - Jen earns a point in the Cooking skill.


 * 9:34 - Felix is sent to practice painting.


 * 9:54 - Commentary: Felix says "screw it" to not cheating and uses the maxmotives cheat to raise all the meters to their fullest.


 * 9:57 - Jen has a strange Want in her Want taskbar. It looks sort of like a mouse pointer? [Screenca


 * 10:29 - Another dog appears outside the door just behind Jen. It shows up again in the next 30 seconds.


 * 1:09 - Jen gains a skill point in cooking, and the strange Want goes away.


 * 11:10 - Jen gained a Hobby point for Cuisine.


 * 11:39 - Jen earns another skill point in cooking.
 * 11:42 - The phone starts ringing.
 * Jen's wants have changed to: Saved from Death, Gain 4 Cooking Points, See a Ghost, and Become a Werewolf.


 * 11:48 - Commentary: Felix goes to make JenSim answer the phone and Jen strangely says "No." before he's even clicked on the phone. It's not in context with their conversation, so I thought I should note it.


 * 12:07 - Jen answers the phone. Her voice echoes. It's for a Cuisine Magazine description from the base game.
 * 12:16 - Phone starts ringing again.
 * 12:28 - Some blonde woman wants to talk to Felix. Felix clicks "no."


 * 12:35 - Felix pans to the Sim painting. He's halfway finished with painting an Operator Symbol. In the commentary Felix and Jen discuss what the symbol is supposed to be, as they have no idea.


 * 13:03 - Felix gained a Hobby point for Arts and Crafts.


 * 13:06 - Jen gains another cooking skill point. She's totalling 4 right now.


 * 13:10 - The phone starts ringing again.


 * 13:16 - JenSim is sent to answer the phone and FelixSim completes his painting in the same moment.


 * 13:29 - Another random woman wants to talk to Felix. Felix clicks "no." As he pointed out in the commentary, it shouldn't be possible for Sims to be calling that late at night.


 * 13:46 - Felix sets the phone to "screen calls" so random people can't call him.
 * 13:51 - Felix pans to where the Sim is standing with the Operator Symbol painting. Felix goes to hang it on the wall.
 * The description of the painting is just "Painted Canvas," and it sells for $461.


 * 14:51 - Technical screen is glitching out some, but all appears normal. Felix instructs JenSim to study Cooking and FelixSim to study Mechanical.


 * 15:12 - Jen gains another point in Cooking.


 * 15:15 - Felix gains another skill point in Mechanical. He now has 3.


 * 15:24 - A woman walks into the house and talks to Jen. This is a Hobby thing from the base game and is not worth noting.
 * 16:13 - Video ends.

The video ends without incident. It should be noted that Slenderman does not show up at all in this video. The only thing to allude to his presence is the Operator Symbol.
