Modding Diary - Ultrasound Scan

Hi guys! hope you all are well!

This week I finalized the Ultrasound Scan Animation, and I added the ultrasound video to the ultrasound machine. Here is what the animation looks like:🥰

sims will get on the exam bed as usual

the screen will change into ultrasound mode

the doctor will talk for a little bit

and start performing the ultrasound

the ultrasound footage will begin to appear on the screen, but its very dark and blurry at first

the doctor will tap on their keyboard 

and a clearer footage appears on the screen

the doctor will point out the baby 

and the pregnant sim is amazed by what she sees

the doctor will talk to the pregnant sim

and explain the ultrasound 

and they will talk for a little more after the scan is finished

and that is the whole interaction. I know I said I would get started on the animation for the companion sim but I couldn't make it happen this week because this animation turned out longer than I expected (61 seconds in total) D : 😥

Figuring out how to add videos to the ultrasound machine was also a little bit of a learning curve and the process was pretty hideous. I had to convert the video 3 times using 3 different programs to make it compatible with the game because the game uses a video format named .vp6 which is something i've never heard of until now. 😳

Next week I will for sure get started on the companion animation and start adding moodlets into the interactions! 

I hope you all are having a great weekend!
