Fairy Animation Cancelled.....

Hi everyone, it’s me...... 😟

Unfortunately, I have to tell you that the fairy animation won’t be released, because it doesn’t work in-game the way it should. I used the wrong bone while animating, and Sims 4 just doesn’t understand it. The animation works perfectly in Blender, but once it's in Sims, the game just can’t handle making the Sims actually turn.
So, if I had used the other bones, it would’ve worked better but unfortunately, I didn’t know that beforehand. That means I now have to completely redo the animation, which can obviously take quite a long time. I’ve decided that since I don’t want to release the animation as it is, I’ll first create a pose pack, a fairy pose pack, that includes some of the poses from the animation. It’s meant as a temporary solution until I’ve fully redone the animation.

It probably won’t be exactly the same as it is now, well, I think it won’t be quite the same. It’ll likely be slightly different in some ways. I could try to recreate it 1:1, but that might not be so easy.

I’m really, really, really sorry. But I’ve never done a flying-spin animation before, meaning flying and turning at the same time. In Blender, of course, it works perfectly. And with my other animation, where it was just about flying up and down, that worked great too. But flying, turning, and keeping the couple sync, the contact with the partner, so two Sims doing something synchronously while turning mid-air, that’s almost impossible for the game to handle.

But we all know Sims 4 and its age. Sims 4 is basically a retiree, and retirees just don’t handle things as easily anymore. 😅

So yeah, if I had known that earlier, I could’ve saved myself a lot of work. But oh well, you never stop learning. And since this is my first flying animation that’s supposed to behave this way, I just didn’t know that beforehand.

Well, let’s see what I can make out of it. I’ll do my best and keep you updated once I’ve finished the animation. 🥺🥺🥺😭
