This is awesome!! I was just getting ready to start filming a movie and this is like a dream come true!! However...I have a question about using this in conjunction with your "Talk Sitting" and "Talk Standing" hacks. I see that those two require OFB, but I only have Uni and Nightlife. I know that I can download this overlay for sure, but will I be able to use the other two hacks with this?

In your acrobat it says that you can find it under hobbies----miscellanious,
does this mean it will only work if it's on the lot? I have a feeling this can allow both options of using the additional hack or not.

Wow. I didn't know your wonderful works. Finally I found a way to make my lazy sims more collaborative .

Did anyone tested it in Seasons yet? (I don't have Seasons yet T_T )

Thanks.

I don't make movies or stories or anything like that, but I can see how nifty this hack would be. Superb job!

I've been told by people who don't have those EPs that the hacks work fine- just those animations pulled from those EPs will not work (i.e. nothing will happen). If you're a movie maker though, I'd recommend OFB. It comes with some awesome interactions that are great for conversation scenes.

Hmm...I'm not quite sure if I understand your question. Of course you would use the hack on a lot- I don't know where else you would use it for unless you mean community lots? I haven't tried but I don't think it's available in community lots but film makers always shoot on residential (at least I do and everyone I know who films does). Is that what you meant?

Awesome! I was wondering how you got your characters to look so natural talking in your latest episode of AinD. Thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of us. This is another must have hack.

Is this the object that is a square box with a icon of a talk bubble. I downloaded a bunch of movie making helper objects last night and was playing around with them. This was one of them.


Well, I may have ruined one of my sims. (don't worry, I am not holding you accountable) it was my fault that I had about 6 animations overlapping and I forgot what ones I had running. So now my sim is most likely ruined, since I saved it in the meantime. But I have not tried to move sims out of lot yet, so it may still be salvageable.

Any case I have a few suggestions to improve this object in my testing.
1.) have a stop all button --- This will stop all animations running from this object (may need to stop them in order to them being started or in reverse order

2.) some pie menus for other objects display weather they are on or off. it would be great if this would display a "(running)" in the top menu items next to the normal menu text and when you drill down into that menu item it will have "(running)" next to the menu items with animations that are running

3.) another possibility would be (not sure how it would work with movie making) but when one animation is started stop the previous one automatically. the reason why I don't think this one would work would be you may want to walk and talk at the same time and they may be 2 different animations.

Other than my bad experence with this object so far I see it being very useful. keep up the good work
