This comic is the answer to a question no one asked:

What if the members of historical-fiction musical supergroup B²TSM lived together in a suburban house and had adventures outside of the TwoSet Violin canon?

Enter House of Practice, where Sims 4 analogs of Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Mozart, and Paganini (as portrayed by Brett Yang and Eddy Chen of TwoSet Violin) go about their daily lives and become the subjects of situational and referential comedy.

If you haven’t watched their content yet, it’s worth noting that House of Practice makes numerous references to TwoSet’s enormous youtube library (it has over 1,300 videos as of writing this) as well as their live performances, classical music and composer trivia, bubble tea, and other nonsense tangential to the TwoSet fandom. To the uninitiated, this comic might seem odd, and that’s ok. It’s first and foremost for TwoSet fans.

Here’s a wiki in case you want more casual context, but I highly recommend checking out TwoSet for yourself. Brett and Eddy work tirelessly to make classical music relevant to future generations and set a positive example that hard work pays off. They’re also hilarious, and have one of the most sincere friendships anyone has ever committed to video.

🎵Why Sims 4 Screenshots?

While I would love to hand-illustrate everything, I don’t have time. The Sims 4 is a quick way to build sets and play “director” to the characters using the in-game camera, even if the game can be a bit janky (and it’s sometimes impossible to get Sims to do what you want them to). Let’s just say the limitations it imposes are… iNtEreSTing.

🎵About the Author:

I am u/steinway-and-puns

In fourth grade, we had to list our top three career choices. I wrote down Artist, Comedian, and Violinist. Later I discovered I have crippling stage fright, and became discouraged by a violin prodigy in my school orchestra. So I became an artist, and the other two unchosen paths laid dormant until I discovered TwoSet, and created this comic as a way to combine a fraction of all three.

🎵Disclaimers:

This comic is NOT endorsed by TwoSet Violin.

The B²TSM main cast is comprised of fictional representations of historical composers, whose alternate personas were originally created and dramatized by Brett Yang and Eddy Chen of TwoSet Violin. House of Practice may also reference real people at times. It’s important to read everything through the lens of fiction, as the adventures are not intended to represent real life.

The Sims 4 is developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts (EA). Please fix your game.

Go practice!
