Frustrated that fairies put their wings away constantly, even while doing actions where their wings are completely free? Ages before they even start the action? So was I, and at last I seem to have worked out a solution. This mod takes the "put away wings" animation cue and replaces it with the "stop wings idle" cue, and shortens the "put wings up again" duration to 0. This means in practice that when your sim sits down in a chair, paints, showers, goes to sleep etc., rather that folding their wings away, they simply stop wiggling them about, and they stay put on their back.

This mod is the result of much trial and error, and I cannot guarantee to have eliminated all of the latter. I intend to go through the files in question more thoroughly to make this workaround smoother if I can, if something more elegant doesn't pop up.


Possible issues:
  • Here be clipping, be forewarned. Luckily much of the seating in the pack is backless, but it could be annoying if they peak out of closed spaces and the likes.
  • I found the wings popped slightly away and back again after I tested swimming, and they don't show as submerged at any angle.
  • Fairies might sometimes briefly pause when going through the "nullified" wing states, but note this pause will occur without the mod as well when they put the wings away and back up. they might occasionally wiggle or disappear for a split second (perhaps more so depending on your hardware).
  • If the wings disappear (usually from a reset or travel), they don't animate popping back, but will appear instantaneously when routing.
  • The flower press of all things still causes an error, unless the sim sits down first, though this seems to be an EA bug. There might be other errors like this that I haven't caught yet - feel free to let me know if you spot one.
On the other hand, I've yet to see any fairy townies flying around wingless after creating this, as the interactions they're routing to no longer trigger them to hide the wings.

In conclusion, please consider whether you prefer EA's flawed wing handling to my flawed wing handling before downloading
