PosePal | Simplified EA rig by TINISIMS

Update 06.12.25: I’ve added a tutorial video to the shared folder showing how to import your own Sim from SIMRIPPER (.dae format), so you can work on poses directly with the Sim you prefer.

PosePal – Beta Release

Heyyy, miss me? Thought I’d disappeared, didn’t you? But nope! ehehe

This is a test version of PosePal — consider it a beta 😊!
There are already many amazing custom rigs out there, and my goal is not to create a copy or compete with them. This is simply a simplified version of the original EA rig that I personally use for posing.

When I create poses, I normally work with the EA rig, not with pose helpers (for example, I use Vyxated’s rig for animation).

So, PosePal reflects that workflow:

• The EA bones have been replaced with more intuitive and cleaner custom shapes.

• I added a few simple IK controls for the hands, nothing complex.

• There are no additional custom rig systems — everything behaves like the original EA rig, just easier to use.

To make things smoother for those who want to try PosePal, I kept the Female/Male switch available in both the single-Sim file and the couple file.

You’ll also find some helpful layers to organize your workspace.
To access them, go to Tool → Layers, where you can show or hide what you need.

To access the layers, install the add-on you’ll find in the folder. I’ve added a short video to show you how to install it. It’s not mandatory, but if you want to hide or show the layers, you’ll need to install it 🥰

After finishing your poses, I recommend showing all layers and then locking all keyframes.

As I already explained in one of my videos — which I’m linking here — I always recommend doing the baking. And yes, I do it for the poses too, just to make sure everything works. But feel free to do whatever works best for you … and once again, remember to check that all the layers I created are visible.

This isn’t a fully featured custom rig — it’s simply the EA rig, but streamlined and easier to use. In the folder you’ll find a video where I showcase the rig.

If you use it, let me know! I’d really love to know if this is as helpful for you as it is for me.

Thank you for testing it !
If something doesn’t work or you have suggestions, feedback is always welcome 🥰

With Love,

Tini.
