override reading books seated by simkatu

I made new reading override 2.0, where all the bugs are fixed and there are different poses for different places and different genders 💕 you can download it from the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/reading-override-110145559 
I removed the old version, because it had a lot of problems.

upd: guys, I didn’t see it right away, but this override also changes the reading animation while sitting on the ground and the reading animation on a rocking chair. it will not play correctly in the game. I tried to figure out this problem, but unfortunately, I don’t think it can be solved. so if you download this override into the game, keep this in mind❤️‍🩹

I can't watch how sims read in the game. I did this override so that they were in a more relaxed and comfortable position.

 I changed all the sitting reading animations. there should be no sudden transitions.

however, there is one problem: while reading on the edge of the bed, a person will drown in it a little.

unfortunately the game gave me a choice:

1. either the person would hover a little over the sofa, but look good on the bed,

2. either a person looks good on sofas and armchairs, but poorly on a bed.

I chose the second option. but I would like to note that if you look closely at sitting on a bed in the game, it is implemented in the same way, only drowning occurs on a smaller scale.

I hope you enjoy what I made!! if there are any lags with the new reading animations, please write to me 💞

Hello! i have made a new save in my game and I downloaded the 2.0 override, and when I click on my bookshelf, (no CC, the house and its furniture are base game) it gives me an animation error but when i went to the willow creek, park, I can read a book in my inventory just fine with this animation. i will do tests to see if i resolve it!! Thank you and I will report to you if I fixed it!

hi! thank you very much for your feedback! 💓 this is strange and sad, I just did the same thing and everything worked for me :( please tell me, do you have the latest update of the game? I will think on my side too, what could be the problem, I hope we will solve it soon.

Thank you for offering the update! Are the reading book seated and reading book seated at table mods now combined into the new mod that's in Early Access or are they still separated?

simkatu · August 16, 2024

yes, they are combined into one new mod ❤️

If you get a chance, could you look into this and the table reading one to see which one is being applied to the rocking chair? Is there a way to remove it from that as it looks really strange. The table reading mod has made me want my sims to read!!! It looks so much more natural!! Thank you for your work. I know animation is one of the hardest things.

thank you very much for the kind words. unfortunately i can't fix it yet :( the game has automatic pose detection, and i can't figure out how to work with it. over time i come up with ideas and hypotheses that i constantly test. so i hope that over time i can update my animation overrides to a digestible version

OMG, how amazing! now, imagine if we could make the Sims chill on the couches while they watch TV, that would be absolutely awesome! please, that would be really good.

thank u! I'm already thinking a lot about this, how best to do this. the problem is that in the sims all the seating positions are connected to each other, and therefore I am afraid that there may be sharp glitches between animations like a sim watching TV and then starting to talk to other people. I hope I find some solution(

Hi, I would like to give feedback on a problem. When my sims reads a book in his rocking chair, his left hand hangs in the air

Good afternoon. Please tell me: is this a game book or do I need to download a mod? If this is a mod, who is the author? Thanks in advance for your answer 🥰

simkatu · May 1, 2024

hello! these are books from the game! I simply replaced the animation from the game with one made by me. If you download my file and place it in the “mod” folder, the animation of reading a book while sitting will change ❣️
