Modding Diary - animation revision + gender reveal cake

Hi Guys! I hope you all are doing well!


This week I revisited the couples balloon popping animation and added another 200 frames (around 7 seconds) of animation:😊

after the sims pop the balloon and going in for a hug

they would reach for each others hands 

and they both turn to look at the other sims who are watching the gender reveal

the pregnant sim leans over and place their head on their partners shoulder🥺

and then they go back to their original position. I feel like this bit animation adds a little more intimacy to the interaction, and hopefully it is an addition that you like. 🥺

This week I also finished making the gender reveal cake, it took me longer than I'd like, but I throughout enjoyed the process. 😚I've always wanted to improve my modeling and texturing skills and this week I decided to really spend some time and get this cake as polished as possible (while staying relatively low poly, which is always a challenge 🙃). This is the second iteration of the gender reveal cake I made, Im not even gonna show you what the first version looked like, it was...pretty ugly to say the least.🫥

here are some more closeups 

and here is what the cake will look like once its cut open

Next week I will start working on the cake cutting animation.

Now I know some of you have been experiencing issues with the "read to baby" interaction from the child birth mod. I am aware of the issue and I'm looking into fixing it, I have not been able to figure out the cause as it only seem to happen to some people and not others, and I have not been able to figure out why. But just know that it is being looked after and hopefully I will find a fix soon.💗I appreciate all your patience in the meantime.

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

Wow, this is beautiful and sooo much better than before. :) That's really loving and natural. I'm really blown away. :D Aww, I can't wait to have this in the game! The cakes turned out great! *thumbs up* but now I'm curious what the first versions looked like. *laughs* And have you perhaps thought about adding hugs from friends? Kind regards, Mirja

I love it so much!! quick question though- are we going to know the babies gender or is it going to be a surprise for us too?

P
PandaSama · October 16, 2023

It can be a surprise to you too, you don’t have to find out the gender ahead of time

I truly am so so so excited for this!!! You're doing amazing work & those cakes look beautiful. I feel so proud watching your progress 🧡 your mods are just such an integral part of my game. I do very much hope you have an option that is gender inclusive for our lgbt+ families also. Lots of love all the time and thank you for your hard work!

I think I will have to find out the sex of the baby ahead of time the gen after this comes out! I still have to do a home birth 😄, last two gens ended up being c-sections!
