This is helpful. I'm glad there's a newer version than the previous poses, because that time when I chose "Snap out of poses" a blue window showed up, suggesting three options: either I delete my sim, reset it or cancel (which doesn't even close the window). So just when I was about to let you know, you appear to have updated the downloads.

Anyways, can't wait to try it out. Thanks!

That's not an issue with the hack either for the first version or this. You're not supposed to use the snap reset, you're supposed to use the stop option to stop a pose. You're supposed to use the snap if you can't remember which pose you used and I already specified in the instructions how to use this so please read the FULL thing.

Truly fantastic, decorgal. More poses than ever before, and a face overlay too.

This thing is better than ever before... are there more poses planned for the future?

Even if not, I love this to bits, use it frequently, and can't thank you enough.

That said, may I raise just two minor points?

One refers to this:

Unfortunately, you can't do anything to the sim once they are on magisplay- whether it's my hack or made by any others. You have set up their face and pose before you put them on magisplay.


That's not quite 100% true for everything. You can't queue up new actions, but you can still click objects and derive what we might call "instant effects" if they require no queued action. For instance, you could click on Inge Jones' Teleporter Plus shrub, and have a sim instantly appear without requiring a queued action - thus not having to break off from whatever the sim's doing. Similarly, Jisx's accessory painting thingy(you know the one, right?) can move the sim's arm to the required position and/or place the accessory in the sim's hand without a queued action(and what I wouldn't give for a similar object that affected the LEFT arm). I believe this process works even on a magisplay. You can sit or stand a sim on it and still then use the painting to choose an arm position.

Have you considered tweaking the faces/poses to work in such a way? If they use an instant application, rather than a queued action, it would make a huge difference.

Not that I want you to think of that as a complaint, just a suggestion.

Also, you've mentioned that you are aware that these poses are not compatible with some custom meshes. This indeed is true, and I have encountered this. Typically it warps the legs of Warlokk's bodyshape meshes and has that effect also on any meshes that use the famous "sexy feet". The thigh muscles bend well out of shape.

Now, it may well be that there's absolutely nothing that can be done about this - I don't know - but I do wonder if you might be able to explain why?

It certainly seems to be a phenomenon exclusive to this hacked object. Warlokk's meshes are not only fine with all the Maxis animations and poses, but I've also found that even hacks with custom animations - Marvine's Ladder and various, er, "adult" hacks that I shan't mention by name here - all of the custom anims handle these meshes just fine.

So... well, I just wondered if you have an idea of why this particular hack isn't able to render those meshes correctly?

But please don't take the above comments as any kind of hostile criticism. Honestly I love this item, and use it a heck of a lot - even more than ever before, now that it contains more poses and facial expressions.

I just wondered if you can satisfy my curiosity on the above points.

Top job nonetheless.

Many thanks.

Adam.

Hi,
Me again.Either it's not working in my game,or i'm stupid.As i said before both files are in the downloads folder.

I'm not sure what i have to do to apply the hack to a lot?? also where do i find the hobbies/miscelleaneous option and thus the "greyor black box"

I'm sorry ,very new to all this!!

Hope someone can help

Thank's

flt.

It's an object. You buy it. It's to be found in Hobbies>All.

Hobbies is one of the categories in your "Buy" Mode catalogue. In there, just look for the infinity symbol(like an "8" laid on its side). That's the right section, and you'll find the box in there. It's a dark grey colour. Costs 1 or 5 simoleons or something like that, so it should be very near the start, since it's so cheap.

Alright, first of all thank you thank you thank you!

And second, a question. I've got all eps up to OFB and no my sims are not on a magisplay tray but they don't snap into poses at all the icon just disappears from the queue and nothing at all happens.
Anyone know whats going on?

That would kind of defeat the point of the face overlay. We already have instant face posing with Shaklin's hack and probably don't need another one and I have to say I HATE the Maxis expressions. They are cartoony and unattractive and the whole point of the overlay is to make them more realistic and to have a bigger range of expressions. Having them overlay allows you to test and mix up different combos. I actually just added the face overlay as a bonus on this hack- it wasn't developed for that. I developed it several months ago to use on my movies so I have more realistic talking animations and just added it on this because I figured others might benefit from it. I really don't think it's a big deal to pose the face first and then put them on magisplay.

I wish I knew; if I did, I could probably address it in some way. I'm not a hacker unfortunately so my knowledge is limited to tutorials and searches. In my own game, I've only run across one clothing mesh that this hack doesn't work with (I haven't tested them all) and I don't use the warlokk or sexy feet meshes so it's really not a priority for me to look into. Sorry but I make these hacks to benefit myself and then share so sorry if it's not for totally altruistic reasons. Besides, I don't have the time to devote to this since I do other things like make movies and clothing but maybe someday that will be resolved. By then, everyone else would've moved on to Sims 3. :P

I've mentioned this before but they don't queue b/c it's an overlay hack. But they should go right into their pose. Make sure your sims aren't doing anything when you tell them what to do.
