Default Is there a mod that keeps Sims from "saluting" when they go outside?
For some reason, the way the Sims shade their eyes when they go outside (ie, "Salute") bugs the hell out of me. I guess they added that in AL or M&G, because they never did it in my old install. Anyway, there's a hack for everything in the Sims, so I wonder if somebody hacked this.

There are a couple mods to stop idles

I believe you are talking about basking in the sun? https://modthesims.info/d/327040 if not perhaps this can help https://modthesims.info/d/673394/mo...ions-fix-1.html

There is also a mod that stops Free Time animations http://www.cyjon.net/node/212

There is also the mod by Tunaisafish that changed it so they only shade eyes every now and then.
I don't think it is up anymore so here is my copy.

There is also No Outdoor Idle With Object In Hand by Lamare. It doesn't disable the salute completely though

Ooh, I'll take that one, thanks. The idles don't bother me, but shoving a trash bag into your face does look stupid. XD
