Nice Job

(pounds on the chest) Thanks! (bows)

I assume this only applies to playable sims, not townies?

Thanks for this -- I've gotten tired of them bowing all over the place!

Corylea, Hopefully the home townies will only learn from playable sims and I certainly will not be teaching them...ruins the game as that is all they do once learned.

You probably mean the locals at the vacation lots.  

I love this and thank you so very much, I can now play BV again.  I do not care if no sim ever gestures again, locals or home townies..LOL

Thanks xx

awesome :)

OMG!!! I can't thankyou enough, thankyou I can now play my game again.  If I never hear the Sea Chantey again it will be to soon.  The Tai Chi i thought wasn't gone but they were still on vacation and as soon as they got home it ended, thanks again :) .

Yes, I was also wondering if this would stop the locals from approaching my sims with those gestures on vacation lots.  I do not mind they do those gestures on vacation lots since it is a way to learn them, I mind when they do this in all the other hoods.

So is it a "no gesture outside vacation hood" mod?

thanks for this

Aw, thanks for this! Those autonomous gestures are becoming something of an annoyance to me, especially since it's so uncharacteristic of my goth/cyberpunk/vampire sims to do the 'hang loose' gesture constantly!

At first I thought it was funny, but the amusement started to wear thin rather quickly...

Hang loose is most definitely not being squished by this in my game. In the main hood, sims who have learned the interaction have been autonomously using it on others who have learned it. I haven't checked further at this stage.

I am a little unclear on the functionality by design - am I to expect sims who've learned the obnoxious behaviour to still do it among themselves, or am I to expect them to find something equally annoying to do?

I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see whats up. In my game it stopped them from doing it all the time.

Hang loose works for me (my sims do not pass it on even though they learn it) but the bowing is still happening. (My sims pass it on autonomously even as they are learning it)

Have not tried Three Lakes as there was no point after it happened in the east.

Have to keep reloading backed up hoods to get the gestures out after trying several modders attempt at this...LOL

Will get there in the end I hope, thanks for trying this as my game is useless to me without all the playable sims autonomous gestures removed.  

Loads of players want this mod, why does Maxis release games like this, does no one test them for hours to find out the annoyances first?

Oh thank you so very much. I can't stand that they do the gestures anymore. I hardly care if this stops even the locals because at this point I was ready to kill them all. Maybe now I can actually have some conversations in my game.

Thank you.

I noticed an issue with noautonomousgestures that needed to be looked at. My two sims were meeting strangers with gestures like crazy in Three Lakes. The Chest Pound gesture icon keeps popping up in both of my sims' queues. The only way I could stop them completely is to cancel their gesture icons.

I wasn't sure about the other two vacation destinations because I loaded only one - Three Lakes - and associated it with my normal neighborhood. I wondered if this mod is effective only in the normal neighborhood or is supposed to be effective in both normal and vacation 'hoods.

Thought I would stop in to give feedback on the mod and to thank you for the mods you made for BV, Kathy.

Chaavik  (thats me above basically saying what you have said.)

I better add.....

I took more than one sim on vacation, three guests, not daily guests but the whole week guests.  I do not know if you have taken guests but you cannot control them, just like if you were seeing them on a community lot.

They learned and repeated the gestures between themselves so no this won't stop it in the home normal hood.  As soon as they get home they will carry on and it will spread.

I have asked for this mod many places and it would seem that it may be difficult to do as no one has made a successful one yet.

I don't know if this is relevant but these locals cannot be killed, even with the insim, just like the garden club members.  So maybe it is impossible to stop them gesturing and maybe my island vacation area is just corrupted by my many mods. But my sims do not repeat the gestures there so I thought this mod here was successful until I went to the east, then things were back to normal, IE learned and repeated gesturing amoung self made sims.

I won't take my sims on vacation until this gesturing stops as it completely spoils the game.  Maxis needs to test the games and ex packs for many hours before releasing to discover these annoyances.  Obviously many people think the same way.

kind regards

*bow*
Thank you!

Hello

I just wanted to say this does not work in my game but it may in others with not so many mods as I have.

Maybe I have a clash.

The streets are safe again..:)
Thanks

I'm still seeing my Sims hanging loose and chest pounding. :-(

Omg, thank you! That was starting to drive me bonkers! :)
