Longer Look At - Default Override

Hey there, fellow simmers!

When shooting machinima, you often want your sims to be looking in a specific direction. Pick'N'Mix's Sim Turner helps a lot with this but it has a slight issue - the sims are looking in the chosen direction for only about 3 seconds. This is rarely enough for the majority of animations in the game - the sims revert to default head position somewhere in the middle of performing an action.

Luckily, this can be easily fixed by changing only one line in BCON 0x011D (Look At - Tuning) - line 0x1 (1) - Max Duration. The default value is 2000 and my override comes in 3 versions:

Version 1
Max Duration = 10 000 - gives you about 11 seconds

Version 2
Max Duration = 20 000 - gives you about 22 seconds

Version 3
Max Duration = 32 000 - gives you about 33 seconds

Feel free to tweak this value if you want a different duration. Please note, though, that 32000 appears to be the maximum.


IMPORTANT
* Since this is a default override, it will affect other aspects of the game that reference the Max Duration line in BCON 0x011D too. Because of this, I would advise using it only when filming machinima and then removing it for a regular gameplay. Otherwise, your sims might stare at each other like creeps XD Admittedly, I did not notice much of a change during my tests, but theoretically, it should have some effect.

* You should have only one override in your Downloads folder. Otherwise, the game will apply only the one that is loaded last.

* Originally, this was made to be used together with Sim Turner. The override will not affect a somewhat similar mod by maybesomethingdunno called Fourth-Wall Options. LookAtMeNOW interaction does not seem to be using BCON 0x011D for the duration. At least, I have not witnessed any changes during my tests.

Let me know if you experience any issues. Happy filming!
