now the animations in my mods aren’t strictly tied to gender anymore.
you can set the animation type individually for each sim!
requires the xml injector
you’ll find the option in the debug sim menu.
here’s how to access it:
1. open the cheat console and type "testingcheats true";
2. shift + click on a sim;
3. choose the animation style you’d like them to use.
there are three options:
feminine animation type
masculine animation type
default ea animation type

notes:
the chosen style will apply to all my mods at once (but only the updated or new ones). you can’t use “female” animations for one override and “male” for another.
i also added a “default” animation option for overrides. you might want to use that for elders, since my custom animations feel a bit more youthful.
tip: with the mod “always testing” by tmex, you don’t need to type “testingcheats true” every time to access the debug menu.

for now, the following mods work with the add-on:
- read in bed
- new music listening interactions
- endless grief
- nap with baby in bed (now on pre-release)
- phone call animation override
- computer animation override
- painting animation override
- relaxed tv animation override
- eating at the table animation override
i’ll update all my mods, but i’ll need some time for that 🌷
i’m really happy to have finally figured out a way to make this possible!
