Modding Diary - Pumping Milk At Work + Non Romantic Bed Birth

Hi guys!! Hope you all had a fantastic holiday season 🥰

I took a little break over the holidays and ate lots of good food and hang out with my families and friends. It was a much needed break and I am so excited to be back to work! 😁

Some of you might remember from my last modding diary that I wanted to work on an option that allows sims to pump milk at work but I said the script would be a very clunky and it wouldst work with any cc careers. well well well, it seems like my level 1 scripting skill levelled up to level 2 just in time : D it took me a few days but I was able to create a script that gets the job done in just a few lines of code and the best part is it should work the vast majority (if not all) of cc careers 😉

as long as your sim is lactating you will be able to click on their work icon and ask them to pump milk

 and if they had a successful pumping session they will come home with milk bottles in their inventory at the end of the day

 Honestly being able to get this to work makes me so happy. Working on python scripts might be my favourite things to do right now, I still have a long way to go and so much to learn but Im enjoying every moment of it .🥰

The other thing I did is that I made a non-romantic animation for the bed birth animation. This is something that has been requested by alot of players for a long time. The non romantic animation will be used by non romantic partners or midwives. The animation is similar to the romantic one but it is less physically intimate.

Disclaimer: my sims are wearing bathing suits so that my post doesnt get flagged as NSFW on patreon and on my website; minor adjustments are still needed so you might see some clipping

sims will start the animation at the usual spot

 

 

 

instead of kissing their forehead, the supporting sim will hold the birthing sims shoulder while talking to them through the contractions

they will then get on the bed and hold on to the birthing sim's arms

 

 

then the baby is born

 the supporting sim will get off the bed once the baby is in the birthing sims arms

 

 they will then stand next to the birthing sim to check out the baby

 

and hold the baby's head for a moment

the birthing sim will snuggle the baby and kiss them on the forehead

 

 and that's the whole animation : D

 Next week I will polish this animation a little more, work on the sound effects, facial expressions and create the interaction.

I also made a bunch of bug fixes this week which will be published next week, here are the bugs I fixed:

• fixed 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'owner error related to collapsedLung

• NPC sims who are invited to the hospital should no longer leave immeidately upon arrival

• added piemenu icon to iv practice interactions

• fixed an issue that caused the practice IV interaction to not show up immidately unless the lot is reloaded

• made an attempt to make llamaze instructor's outfit less random, they should now show up in their everyday outfit instead of wearing randomly generated outfits.

I hope you all have a great weekend! 🥰
