  • Rebuilt the mod from the ground up, with better animations and behavior.

Overview
This is a revamp of my old CAS Animation Edits mod that I released a couple years ago.

The mod aims to resolve a couple annoyances with the behavior of Sims in CAS; I've edited the CAS jazz script file and tweaked a number of EA animations to make Sims move around less while you're working on them, plus a few extras.

It won't make Sims stand completely static! There are already some great mods out there which achieve that, so I decided to focus on giving them better animations to improve the overall CAS experience.

Features

Gender-neutral animations:
  • "Greeting" animations when creating a new Sim are no longer different between male and female Sims; instead, they will play a custom greeting animation.
  • Female Sims no longer stand with their heads tilted to the side; they now use the same idle animations and reactions as male Sims.

Better Idles:
  • Sims stand still more when idle, rather than constantly gesturing and moving around. They will only react to changing body sliders and picking traits.
  • Improved facial animations: less smiling, no eye movements when zoomed into a Sim's face. Much more comfortable for editing facial features and taking screenshots. :P
  • Toddler animations have been replaced so that they will stand up.
The camera needed to be adjusted to zoom into the toddlers' faces correctly; I've included an extra package that combines Buhudain's edit of Shimrod's CAS camera mod with the toddler values from criisolate's Closer Camera.

Known Issues
  • Some trait animations will snap back to the standing position once finished. This is an EA bug and not caused by the mod itself.

Compatibility
  • This mod will conflict with any other mod that edits the ingame\sims\soloanims\cas\animation\cas.jazz resource in JazzData.
  • The camera mod will conflict with any other mod that edits the CASCameras and CASCamerasWS INI resources.
