this mod replaces the tv watching animations with more relaxed ones.
the animations are different for men and women.
big update aug. 30, 2025:
added transitions to the interaction! (sometimes the transition may glitch, but very rarely)
if your sim doesn’t know they’re pregnant yet, they will use custom animations. only after the game notifies you that the sim is expecting a baby, the animation will switch to the default one.
now works with the add-on that lets you change animation type for each sim individually.
facial expressions should look a bit better now.
custom animations will apply if:
the sim is sitting on a sofa or living chair;
the sim is a teen to elder;
the sim is watching tv channels (not movies);
the sim is not watching the new year’s eve special channel. those animations stay the same to match the countdown.
the sim is not pregnant.
only the in-game tv channels will use the new animation. if you have mods with custom channels, their animations will remain default.
known issues:
if your sim is already watching tv and you change the channel, they might freeze in the sitting position. if that happens, just have them stand up and sit again to play the new animation.
compatibility:
not compatible with "Arnie_Plumfruit_Essentials_1.2_PlumfruitSmartTV+TUNING" from arnie’s plumfruit essentials mod.
