    Hey guys :slight_smile: So when the Sims 4 comes out in September (very excited) I want to record lets plays for YouTube. Only I'm not very experienced in the field and have no clue as to which gameplay recorder is the best to use.

    Are there any really good free recorders out there? Would I be better off paying for one, and if so do you know of any not crazily expensive, reliable and easy to use ones?

    Then there's editing. I've made crappy videos using Windows Movie Maker before but I want something more 'professional' so to speak. Any ideas? (Not a Mac user by the way, if only I had the $$$).

    And if you have any other advice or experience with lets plays for the PC, please share! As I said I'm very inexperienced and eager to learn :help:

    Although I remember pewdiepie himself had a video he explained how he began recording but cant find the video atm :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    So "fraps" is what he use if I got it right ^^

    I've never used FRAPS but I do use Open Broadcaster Software. Can also be used for streaming too.

    I watched only Cyan Firefly's Let's Play videos.

    If my memory serves he was using FRAPS as well but you can ask him on his channel I linked.

    I loved how he and his friend played Neverwinter Online Beta. They got me hooked up with the game even before I get into beta myself.
