Title: base game cold reactions
Post by: MermaidSim on February 06, 2010, 09:56:38 am
You know when a si catches a cold they have strong coughing and sneezing well I need those options for my story. I'd really appreciate it if someone makes me a mod with only those two options in it. :D

There are several pose boxes that might be of help.

JD (http://www.jd-movies.com/blog/?cat=19) (You could try the seasons one. Not 100% sure it is in there, but there are several freezing animations, and some fainting animations that could come in handy)
Pose box for children (http://www.decorgal.com/designs/download.php?list.8) (has cough, and a bunch of other useful animations. It's quite possible there's an adult/teen cough animation in the sit hack, and possibly also in the stand hack too)
Squinges hula hack (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=9544) has a lot, too. Not quite sure if it has cough.

There's a reaction tester too (black box, with three circles on it), but I can't seem to find it. I thought it was at MTS2, but could only find this  (http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=63587) (Ingame reaction tester, made buyable) which seems to be quite similar.

These paintings, here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=42093) and here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=42499), has a lot of ingame animations too. Not sure about cough here either (there are so many in these that I only manage to keep control over where a few are)

No one has answered because what you want is wrong on so many different levels.  You want animations pulled from M&G and put into a base game only format.  I'm fairly certain that doing something like that would bring a whole lot of trouble to the modder that did that and shared it with the community.  It's definitely against the EULA.

A story is simply that, a story.  Certainly there are animations in the base game that, if you capture the picture at the right angle, will come off as a cough or a sneeze.  The actual animations in game, will be revealed in a single snapshot.  It's all about the illusion.

well i understand the mansions and garden stuff pack but i didnt ask for that in this post all i want is the sneezing and coughing from when they have a cold from the base game so i dont have to worry bout the cold becoming worse or them dying from pneumonia

Like I said, the sitting/standing pose hacks at Decorgal's site has cough animations. I think there are sneezing animations there, too.
The "die from disease" animations (in various poseboxes) also have coughing. Might be an addition in the hula hack, though I'm not sure.

There's no real point in making poseboxes with animations that already exists several places..

Word of caution, bump your own thread and it gets locked, no matter if it has gone unanswered for a couple of days, weeks or months. It's considered rude and pushy. You have to wait and if you can't do that, you may have to consider the fact that no one knows the answer to what you want to know.

Umm, it's not exactly the smartest thing to be a brat to the Admin. I'm sorry you haven't found what you need, but being a priss isn't going to get you anywhere but in trouble. Maybe you should take some time to actually use the "Google" search engine?
-Forget about that link, by the by, I don't use poseboxes or hacked paintings anymore because it makes my game VERY slow. But seriously, being immature about not getting what you want is not the best way to get an answer.
 :-X

As for what you're looking for, you can get it exactly from Jaydee's site. (Season's action box) on her website here:
http://www.jd-movies.com/seasonsanimbox.php
(Do NOT go crazy with poseboxes and hacked paintings, otherwise your game will be moving slower than molasses in the winter time.)

MermaidSim, I could have gotten on you about the fact that you didn't bother to use proper capitalization and punctuation instead of playing bumper cars with the thread because if you would have taken a quick read through the rules, to be found here (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,100207.0.html#new), you'd realize that I would have been perfectly justified in doing that as well. It clearly states, and I quote:

We are not the grammar police here and understand typos happen and not everyone is a perfect speller, but if you're not using periods, commas, capital letters and a reasonable semblance of accurate spelling out of pure laziness, we will call you on it.

Quit the attitude while you're ahead.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: And yeah, I can add smileys, too.

*bump because no one has answered in weeks* :'(

BTW, four days hardly counts as "weeks". Look at the dates of the posts Feb 6 to Feb 10 is four days. I'm going to back up Paden, here. Thread bumping isn't allowed and Paden had every right to just lock this on that principle alone. Instead, she warned you of the consequences (which you would have been aware of if you read the site rules) and left it open for other people to help you. A lot of what you get here is really determined by your own attitude. If you get a reputation for being demanding and ungrateful (you've not once thanked anyone who made suggestions for their help, just demanded more), people won't help you.

You've gotten a few good suggestions and, as ancienthighway said, with picture taking, sometimes the animation's not there, so it's than all about creating a convincing illusion. I can't count the amount of time I've had a sim go through an animation while having the game speed set on slow, just so I could catch the subtleties of a certain loop I would otherwise miss with the game on normal speed. As a result I've found something that worked perfectly for what I needed. You can experiment with blending poses on different boxes, too. Have a sim do one pose and then have them do another without stopping the first one. The two poses will mix and give you something new.

I've tried every suggested mod that was listed here and I did say "Thank you" but I need this mod made for my video project.

Really? I just read through this thread again and not once do I see the words "thank you". Look:

You know when a si catches a cold they have strong coughing and sneezing well I need those options for my story. I'd really appreciate it if someone makes me a mod with only those two options in it. :D

hula and more doesnt have the sneeze only the cough and I have decorgal's child animation hack. and the paintings aswell as JD's seasons hack which only has the allergy sneezes and coughs.

I've tried every suggested mod that was listed here and I did say "Thank you" but I need this mod made for my video project.

There's a "thank you" in your last post, but it's not to express your gratitude to anyone for trying to help. I see a lot of "that doesn't have it" and "I want". I can't speak for anyone else, but you didn't say it was for a video until your last reply, which led me to assume, when you said it was for a story, that it was for pictures. This was why I was having a hard time understanding why you couldn't just play around with poses and animations until you got something that could "fake" a sneeze. There's a animation where a sim rubs under his nose, which I was thinking could be used in a picture to make it look like a sim has just finished sneezing. Knowing from the start it was for a video would have been a great help.

Now, Decorgal has a child animation hack (http://www.decorgal.com/designs/download.php?view.192) that includes the sneezing (you need to register to download). Before you say it doesn't have it, I just looked at it and it does, under "Health". The text below is a direct quote from the item description:

Quote
The hack is a yellow box as pictured above and may be found under Hobbies/Miscellaneous and should be placed in your Downloads folder. I tried to structure the hack in as few submenus as possible and is organized in the following manner:

Talk - Various talking both neutral and positive
Talk Up - Talking looking up to adult
Talk Shy - Shy talking
Talk Strings - General and topic strings
Argue Talker - Argue talking
Argue Listener - Argue listening both defensive and concillatory
Agree - Agree, mostly non verbal
Disagree - Disagree, mostly non verbal
Listen - Listen neutral and positive, mostly non verbal
Listen Neg - Negative listening
Reaction - Reactions both positive and neutral, mostly non verbal
Reaction Pos - Reactions positive, mostly non verbal
Reaction Neg - Reactions negative, mostly non verbal
Gestures - Idle and personality animations
Greet - Various greeting animations
Emotion - Singing, crying, clapping and sad
Action - Action animations and reactions
Play - Playing including idle and play interactions
Health - Health animations including poison ivy, sneeze and death strings
Head look - Various turn head and reaction animations
Weather - Reactions to weather
Misc - Animations not fitting elsewhere including ghost scarer, resurrect, crowsnest

I read in one of your posts regarding JDs Seasons pose box that it won't work because has the allergy sneeze. Why won't that work? It's a sneeze, right?

Ok Ok I'm sorry for not saying thank you to those who are trying to help since I went to google and tried looking it up and just made myself depressed.
Oh and I have decorgal's child mod but it only works on "Children" hence the word "child" on the title of the hack.


Title: Re: base game cold reactions
Post by: Hammie on February 21, 2010, 07:12:18 pm
No offense or anything, but I have to agree with Caffinated.Joy. Isn't a sneeze a sneeze? I mean, is there really a difference?  :-X


Title: Re: base game cold reactions
Post by: caffeinated.joy on February 21, 2010, 07:24:57 pm
You could have helped us out a lot by just letting us know you wanted one for adults instead of, or in addition to, one for children rather than objecting that it didn't have the sneeze animations, so there's no reason for the attitude. I know it's for children. Hence me typing "child animation hack". (See, I can do that too) You're only telling us this now because I pointed out you were wrong in saying the sneeze animation wasn't on there.  I don't have that pose box, so I haven't tried to use it with teens or adults to see if it will work or not, in spite of it being labeled for children. Some animations might look weird, but some might work. Have you tried? Now, what about the sneeze on JD's Season's box? It's a sneeze, so why won't that work?

Something tells me you'll find something to object to no matter what people find or make for you. We're trying to help, but all you can seem to do is argue, which is probably why most have given up trying.

I thought I added for teen-elders on the first post I guess I didn't sorry about that.  I do have JD's box but its just isn't what I want I just need the cold sneezing and coughing so it can be put into my movie.


Title: Re: base game cold reactions
Post by: caffeinated.joy on February 21, 2010, 07:39:07 pm
I honestly don't know what the difference is between the sneeze of a cold and the sneeze of an allergy. They're both sneezes.



Title: Re: base game cold reactions
Post by: Engram on February 21, 2010, 08:47:58 pm
Decorgal quite clearly states that the Child pose box will work for other age groups but the animations will be off, with the legs twisting or the sim sinking into the ground.

Since you've already been to JD's site, I assume you have already seen and tried the option to turn on the "All menus on" cheat (http://www.jd-movies.com/allmenus.php)? It enables all in-game interactions and animations, including the ones sims do autonomously. I haven't tried it because I don't work with animations much but I would assume that the sneeze is in there somewhere. You would just have to find it.

If you were just doing still screenshots, you could use the in-game spawnable Make Me Sick Tester, give your sim the flu and wait for the sneeze to happen. But if you need it precisely timed for a movie then the all menus on cheat may be your best bet.

Oh to heck with it, get the stupid plague mod from MATY and let all of the Sims die from it, you might get a bloody sneeze you want from THAT.

Post by: ancienthighway on February 21, 2010, 10:54:40 pm
Had the OP been a little more, no a lot more, informative on what was exactly needed in the first post, or even the next couple of posts in clarification, I might have been convinced to do a special sickness box to  her specification.  But with responses that just say what is suggested won't work, rather than explaining why and detailing exactly what would be right, not to mention a thanks or two, all convinced me not to bother because it wouldn't be "right" enough.


Title: Re: base game cold reactions
Post by: Chaavik on February 22, 2010, 01:57:28 am
Don't bother making one. If she can't be bothered to actually try a few mod suggestions to find the one she wants, then what is the point of continuing to discuss this further?

A sneeze is a sneeze. Both allergy and cold sneezes are the same. There is no difference between them that use the same animations. Period. The flu use the same animations that the morning sickness have when she/she feels the morning sickness hitting them.

You should realize that EA isn't very imaginative when they create animations for many things. A lot of these animations get recycled for other uses. So, don't expect someone to scour through the data files to find animations that we already know about. It's redundant.

Next time we hear about a sassy response, this thread will be locked. No questions asked.
