(burping)
- Oh, a keg party, that's it!
(humming)
- [Kelsey] Watch, there she goes!
My hopes and dreams have come to life.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, this is In Control with Kelsey,
the show where my friends control their lives in The Sims 4
but I control the conversation.
Ding. (bell chimes)
My friend today is Arden Cho,
you may know her from Teen Wolf or Chicago Med.
Welcome.
- Hi.
- Thanks for being here today.
- Thanks for having me, Kelsey.
- I'm very excited to build you in The Sims.
- I'm ready.
I wanna see my sim, I want her to have an awesome life.
- She's gonna be amazing.
So you've never played The Sims before?
- I have not.
I feel bad that I don't know it,
everyone's talking about how they grew up on it,
so apparently I did not have a fun childhood.
(sad music)
- All right, Arden, are you ready to take control?
- I hope so.
- We're gonna be making you in The Sims,
I've found that sometimes I forget what I look like.
I'm just like, "I don't know, eyes?"
We can take a selfie and in that way you can look at it
if you need to. - Oh, perfect.
- While we're making your face.
(camera shutter clicks)
Perfect!
All right, let's get in there.
All right--
- Whoa, this is creepy. - I know.
If you could describe your face, how would you describe it?
- I don't know, like...
I'm like, "What's this?"
- What's that?
- Like, - Diamond?
This is completely like, different world to you.
- [Arden] This is different world, I mean,
yeah that looks kinda like me, like "asian-ey",
she got some like, eyeliner on though.
That's definitely not me.
No.
Oh, this is so weird.
I don't know. - That's not you.
I gotta look at the selfie now,
I gotta call it in, I'm calling it in myself--
- But you can see my face!
- I know!
But you'd have to just stare into my face as I do it.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh, okay.
Oh, this is fun.
- Stare into my eyes.
- I feel like these are pretty close.
- Oh yeah.
Eyebrows, those look really dark.
Uh...
- Feel like...
This one kinda felt the closest already.
- And then just pull it down a little.
- Yeah. - Ooh!
Whoa, she's mad now.
Oh, she mad!
- Nope.
- [Arden] Uni-brow.
- What do you think about your nose?
- Um, wow, they like, all look like noses.
Noses are really weird looking out of context like this.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
But maybe push it back a little--
- Less button-y.
- Yeah, less button-y in the front.
Oh my God, this is so cool!
(laughing)
This is so weird!
Dude, that's pretty good.
Are you like, an artist?
- We'll give you a little bit of makeup.
- I like that color--
- Coral lip.
Does this look like you?
Now my brain's like, confused.
This looks not perfect and I want it to be perfect.
Okay, the people behind camera are like,
"Kelsey, move on!"
- Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And I'm like, "Listen!
I want art here."
How would you describe your style?
- So my style's like all over the place,
I think more on the casual end.
I like sweats, hoodies.
- How would your mom describe your style?
- Crazy.
She'd be like, "Are you wearing that out?
Are those pajamas?"
Oh wait, this like, kinda looks like me.
- This one?
- It's kinda cute, oh, that's cute!
- You like that? - Yeah I like that color.
This girl makes weird noises, though.
She's looking cool.
- She is pretty cool.
- She's looking like a cool girl.
All right, she's done.
- It's a look.
- She's ready to party.
- So first we've got your everyday,
it's kind of a version of what you're wearing right now
but not exactly.
And then we've got your fancy wear.
- All right, let's do the white, that's cute.
- White, all right.
- The mannequin said, "Oh!"
- Well, that's you!
- Oh, she said, "Mm-hmm."
Can she hear us?
- Maybe.
- I'm scared.
- Honestly, same.
We just need earrings.
- They're rushing us, ugh!
- He's rushing this art!
- They don't realize that fashion, exactly!
- This is the best part of The Sims, fight me.
- Beauty and vision is like...
I just saw like a hot dog suit, that's hilarious.
- Yeah, you could also rock a hot dog suit.
- Oh my god, that's great.
Okay, this is actually really fun now.
- Yeah!
You would make a great Darth Vader.
- What is this?
I love it.
- X-Wing fighter.
- All right, that's my costume.
- In The Sims you can select your aspiration,
this is kind of like the thing that drives you in life.
- First thing I saw was for sure Creativity.
- [Kelsey] Creativity, okay.
Would it be a master actress?
- No, musical genius.
- Yeah!
- Ugh, I would die.
- How long have you been doing music for?
- I put out my first EP like 7 years ago?
But, I don't know, I feel like
I'm always like just starting.
- Yeah?
- I'm figuring it out still.
- If you picked three traits about yourself,
what would they be?
- Oh, dog lover.
- Okay, dog lover, do you have a dog?
- I do.
The foodie for sure.
(burps)
Oh, wow.
Oh my god, it's so weird.
It's burping?
But I actually do burp a lot.
(burps)
I wanna be a dance machine!
- You don't wanna be!
That's what you'd choose?
What other dance moves can you show us?
- I'm embarrassed.
- I'll do 'em with you.
(funky music)
Perfect, there you go, Arden, you're done!
- Now I have personality.
- First we gotta move in!
You're moving into the same house
that my friend before moved into, Marcus.
He adopted three dogs, so thank goodness you like dogs--
- I love this house already!
- Now you live in a house with three dogs.
And Marcus, who is out on the beach
fighting people right now, so he's busy.
- Oh, I like it!
(heavy rock music)
- So what would you like to do with your day?
- So I feel like Sim Arden has less responsibilities,
so she should probably have fun.
Maybe a crazy adventure, maybe a party?
- Would you rather go to a party or throw a party?
- Let's throw a party.
(horn blasts loudly)
I host like a lot of get-togethers,
and dinners and game nights,
but I don't think I've ever hosted like, a party.
- Like a rager?
- Oh never.
All right, let's throw a rager, I've never done that.
- Perfect.
All right, first up, Arden needs to meet some people
to invite to the party 'cause Arden doesn't know anybody.
- She has no friends, she's like all alone right now.
(sad music)
- So where should we go for her to meet people?
Do you wanna just like walk up and down the street,
do you wanna go to like, a park?
- Or a club.
- Meet people at club--
- Go to a club, take all of them to my house.
- Yes.
- Because she's not scared of strangers.
- Are you scared of strangers?
- A little bit.
- Same.
- Definitely.
- Does that like come into play sometimes with work?
- Always.
- Yeah, like on Teen Wolf.
- Starting the show in season 3 was really intimidating
because I came in and I just felt like,
I'm at a party and I don't know anyone.
- Mm-hmm.
- So everybody was really nice and really welcoming
but you're also like...
I'm scared.
- Aw, yeah, that makes sense.
All right, so, we're here at the club.
It's 4PM, there's not a lot of people here.
However, Arden's going in.
- She's brave.
Way brave.
- This woman looks great, do you wanna introduce yourself?
I guess you already are.
- What language are they speaking?
- Simlish.
(magical chimes)
(laughs)
- What?
- Yeah.
They speak another language.
So this guy over here, his name is actually Caleb,
he's a vampire.
- I like him, he's coming to the party.
- All right.
(imitating Sim)
You're picking it up immediately!
You've done video game voice acting?
- I have, I have.
SOCOM 4 and um, Tomb Raider.
- Arden, you're meeting like people
left and right over here.
- I know, this is crazy.
I saw a little thing, a popup of "Rude Introduction,"
I kinda wanna see what that's like
and what they say.
- Okay.
Who do you wanna rudely introduce yourself to?
This woman? - I don't know, anyone.
Sure.
(Sim speaks Simlish)
(Arden imitates Sim)
- [Kelsey] What would you do next?
- Tell gross joke.
- Tell a gross joke.
Your joke's about bugs.
- She's like ew.
(laughs)
Oh, they're gossiping now.
- Oh yeah, so this is a celebrity over here,
let's try to go get to know him.
- [Arden] Whoa, she's sleeping on the ground!
- [Kelsey] She fainted 'cause she's excited about him.
Who would you fangirl over?
- There's a lot of people I think I would fangirl over.
I see a lot of like, singers.
I think I'd fangirl over like, Adele, for sure.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, you just introduced yourself
to everybody in this building.
- All right, let's all go to my party!
- Look, Marcus is home!
- Oh, hi Marcus!
- Aw, you guys just met, that's awesome.
Okay, you're gonna plan a social event now.
So you just moved in with Marcus.
- Okay.
- Do you feel like it's weird that you're
like immediately throwing a party?
And you just met him.
- Okay, real life Arden would never do this
'cause I'd be like, "That's so rude,"
but Sim Arden, she doesn't care.
She's gonna live the best life.
A keg party, that's it, that's the one.
- The host is you, and Marcus can come, too.
And then we're gonna invite everybody you just met.
- I love it.
Oh, yay, my seven friends!
- All of them, including Mila, who's kind of your enemy--
- [Arden] Oh my god, there's like a red mark on her.
- [Kelsey] Yeah, 'cause you were rude to her.
- We'll make it up.
- Okay, aw.
(laughs)
Do you wanna have the party at your own house
or would you rather have it at someone else's house?
You just throw it at a random stranger's house.
- Yes, do it at a stranger's house.
- Stranger's house, all right,
we're going to someone else's house,
we don't know who it is.
- I love it.
- All right, keg party.
- Oh, this is a nice house.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Everybody showed up!
- Yes, everyone showed up to your keg party.
- Where's the keg?
- I, you know...
That's a good question.
This person didn't have a keg at their house,
but they do have a dance floor!
So you can hire a DJ headliner.
- Oh, we need a DJ for sure.
- And then you need to dance.
- Whoa. - Dance machine.
That's not the right outfit on.
(race car engine revs)
You should definitely change into your fancy outfit
for this night.
- Oh yes.
Oh my gosh, I love her!
- She's like a superhero.
- I love it.
- They're all coming in.
All right, she's gonna go dance on the dance floor.
- Come on Dance Machine, let's see it.
She better be good.
I'm pretty bad at dancing,
but I think I dance better than...
I'm upset.
- Oh, well, she just learned.
You know, we could cheat your dance skill up.
- Oh, we can?
How?
- We can just cheat it.
- Cool, I didn't know you could do that.
(horn honks loudly)
- You've reached level 5 dancing!
You can now do a back flip!
- Where's Marcus?
Is he having fun at my party?
- He's right here!
- Ooh, look at her!
Oh, she's getting down now!
- Wait, this is the vampire.
- Ask if mermaid.
- Yeah, ask if he's a mermaid.
- I wanna be a mermaid.
- Next time on The Sims we'll make you a mermaid.
- Oh my god, you can become a mermaid?
Stop!
I like, legit wanna be a mermaid.
I don't know why I'm telling you this.
I legit wanna be a mermaid.
That's like my dream.
- We could've made you a mermaid!
Had I known to say something!
- Oh my gosh!
- There's so much in The Sims.
- Now I'm gonna go home and make myself a mermaid
and just live in the Sim world.
- Perfect!
He said, "Mermaid?
What gave you that idea?"
That's exactly what a mermaid would say.
Look at you putting the phone in the air.
- She's like, "Yes, yes."
- So we realize now that there's no keg at this keg party.
- That's okay.
- It is both okay, and also it is my fault
for telling you to go somewhere else.
- Oh, 'cause we're at a stranger's house.
Should we make everyone go to my house, then?
- Yeah, let's cancel this party and go back to our house.
We're gonna throw two parties.
Now you guys are proper friends, look at that!
Now you're friends with a girl with cat ears,
we don't know why.
- [Arden] I like her.
- Now it's 11PM, that's when the party really gets started.
- For sure.
- And your dogs are here.
- [Arden] Oh, I love this dog!
I don't know, I always wanted to get a dog
and name it, like, Kitty, and get a cat and name it Dog.
- Just to watch the world burn.
- Exactly.
- [Kelsey] All right, we've set the party--
- [Arden] We've got a dance floor.
- Now you can show off your moves.
- Oh my god!
- What move would you like to do?
- Let's show off the back flip.
- [Kelsey] The back flip!
Back flip! - We need a better outfit,
let's go to my cool street outfit.
This dress is not doing it for me.
- Boom, all right, now you're ready to go.
All right, you're gonna show off the back flip,
here we go!
- I can do that.
- You can do that?
- I can do that.
- Wait, you really can do a back flip?
- Yeah, I can really do that.
- That's awesome!
- [Arden] I grew up doing gymnastics and cheer.
Ooh, now she's doing some very interesting dance.
Oh, okay.
Wow!
- [Kelsey] There you go, that's what level 5 dance gets us.
Is this all that you dreamt it would be?
- Exactly, my hopes and dreams have come to life.
- Okay.
- [Arden] Dude, I love how no one's dancing with her
and she doesn't even care.
- She's become a little bit famous from her dance moves.
- Wow, she's on the road to fame!
- [Kelsey] She is.
Oh, someone's doing it!
This chick Yuki Behr is ready to go.
Who are you gonna do a keg stand with?
- Um, cat lady.
- Catarina.
What a great name for a woman with cat ears.
- [Arden] Oh, my little Chow Chow's on the dance floor.
- And Chow Chow's on the dance floor.
Okay, here's Catarina, she's ready to help you.
Oh my god, you're living your dream!
- How did they even know to--
- Oh!
- Wait, that's actually like me.
She lasted 2 seconds and then fell over on the ground
and hurt her butt.
That is actually me.
How'd they know?
I'm upset, I'm offended.
(dramatic music)
I thought she was gonna be really good at the keg stand.
- I thought so, too.
Where did we go so awry?
- What, okay!
- [Kelsey] Watch, there she goes!
- Look at her, she getting low.
Let's go, whoa.
- Well, you did it.
You threw two parties,
you met everyone at the bar,
you did a keg stand and a back flip at a party.
- She's just living the life.
- And you have three dogs with Marcus.
- That's actually the best part.
Are you joining the party?
- Yeah, I'll definitely join it later.
- And then you guys will join the party?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
We'll just party forever.
(laughs)
- Thank you so much for being on the show with me.
- Yeah, of course, thank you for having me!
It was so fun, I learned a new game
and now I'm jealous of her.
- Yeah.
- Make sure to check back next week
because Kelsey will be in control of someone else's life.
- What mischief will we get up to next?
(upbeat music)
