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

Thanks.

I have Seasons, but its on Dvd compatible, which means only a dvd drive can read and install it, and my brother removed my dvd drive from my pc >_O

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

Sorry you had trouble with it in your game. To answer your questions:

1) That is definitely something I've thought about and I know one way to do it BUT I suspect it's something I'm miscoding and that's why it stops the animations rather my coding something correctly- i.e. this is beyond my knowledge so I left that out (at least for now). The best way to stop it, if you can't remember (which happens to me a lot and I made this!) is to go through the menu and stop each animation. Yes, a pain but there aren't that many. You should also be mindful of which ones you're using but looking at the animation should also give some clues as to which ones you're running.

2) That's a great suggestion but that is WAY beyond me and not possible for me (I don't know if that's even possible at all). Sorry but I unfortunately don't know enough to even consider something like that.

3) That would kind of defeat the purpose of this hack which I made specifically so that people could layer animations on top of another.

Hi,

I'd vote for a "STOP ALL" selection as well since I managed to ruin a sim too (which is - of course - my fault) but since you said you can't do it, we should ask someone else to do it (if we know any).. Going thru that pie menu every time I lose the trail of thought IS a pain

Does anyone know anyone who could participate in this?

This is great!!!!.....but there is one little problem(my computer's fault most likely).....I can't open the guide.

my computer has tried to tell me what to do to fix this problem but I don't understand this language it uses(computernese).It's ok if you do nothing but it would be really great if you helped!!

Love the hack, it works great, no bugs so far...but, I find it odd that you have every other walk style but decided to leave out the sexy walk. Is there a reason for that?
