 Say Thanks!
Adds scripted interactions to the game that make it easier to align sims for poses with either WW's or Andrew's pose player.

This is supposed to (mostly) be a replacement for "Teleport Any Sim" mod, as I found having to use buy mode when trying to pose multiple sims together unintuitive.

Showcase


Installation
  • In the game’s settings make sure that under “Other” the options of “Enable Custom Content and Mods” and “Script Mods Allowed” are both enabled
  • Extract the .package and .ts4script files to your Mods folder or a subfolder of the Mods folder.
Note: The path to the .ts4script file can be at most only one subfolder deep, as The Sims 4 doesn’t load script files if they are deeper than that.

Requirements
Usage of Interactions - Basics
Once you are in a pose you will have the option to select the following three interactions when clicking on a sim, object or the ground/floor:

Move to
Moves the current sim to the location of the target.

Rotate towards
Rotates the current sim towards the target.

Align with
Copies the target’s location and rotation and applies it to the current sim. This interaction is not available when clicking on the ground.

Usage of Interactions - Advanced
There may be some cases when a pose set with other sims or an object doesn't align perfectly after the "Align with" interaction. This is because the creator of the pose didn't follow the convention of having the other sims or object sharing the same position and rotation as the sim we want to pose, which in most cases is actually quite understandable. Most often this is the case with poses where an object has a variable height (e.g. a pose interacting with a window).
Usually these poses require us to use a teleport statue from "Teleport Any Sim", however we can still do without them in most cases, by using two more interactions.

Snap to Grid
Click "Move to" close to where the teleport statue should stand. Then click on your sim and select "Snap to Grid". This interaction will snap the position of your sim to the closest point of the intersecting lines on the lot's grid.
If your sim is also close to the floor in his original position, he will also be put on the floor again in his new position. As he could be above the floor otherwise, if he is near a slope or similar.

Snap to Cardinal Direction
Click on a floor or object in the general direction the teleport statue was looking. Then click your sim again and select "Snap to Cadinal Direction" this will snap the rotation of your sim to the closest of the 8 cardinal directions (north, east, south, west + the inbetweens).


After using both of the interactions above, your sim should now be in the same position as if you had used a teleport statue. The only exception to this would be if the teleport statue would have had to be either placed off-grid or has a rotation that doesn't face any of the 8 cardinal directions, though I'm unsure if any pose out there even requires that.

Changelog
-- 1.1.2 --
With Andrew's Pose Player, when cancelling/stopping the posing, the position of the sim is now only reset to the position before posing was started if the next interaction in the sim's queue is not a pose interaction.
Before this, you had to apply the position/rotation/alignment every time you wanted to change poses, as only the current interaction was considered for reseting the position.
-- 1.1.1 --
Added localization (AI translated) for other languages. If you play in English and already have 1.1-hotfix, then you can ignore this.
-- 1.1-hotfix --
Adds the snapping interactions to the list of interactions that are not blocked while in the pose mode of the alternative edition of Wonderful Whims.
-- 1.1 --
Added "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Cardinal Direction" Interactions.
