Animation into sex

[lester1980]

Why is it the couple (or people) when they are about to do the dirty standup straight in the same position as each other in the same place, sometimes in the middle of the bed whilst the animation loads. Is this a bug or how it’s supposed to work?

It is a game limitation.

 

All animations using multiple people start with a "root point" (0,0,0), this is used to align correctly multiple animations.

 

Animators don't do for fun all possible transitions from an animation that is played (there are thousand) and the begin of their animation.

 

So, when an animation is started, the actors are just forcibly moved to the center of the anim, when the animation is started.

So for a fraction of second, you see all the actors, one over the other, standing in the center of the animation that will be played.

 

There is really nothing to do about it.

It's normal!

 

My speculation is...

Just the process of resetting/clearing queued actions for a clean initiation of the mod and it's mechanics,

This sometimes will be longer than others depending on processes running at the time,

 

If you have any outdated or conflicting mods the t-pose may take a few seconds longer before everyone gets busy,

To avoid issues playing animations Sims are being reset (soft reset) and placed in the right spot. A reset clears their interactions, tasks, and current animation state machine. After that, it blocks anything new from coming in unless it's WickedWhims.

 

This can be avoided, probably, but doing a reset is just the most reliable. I prefer to have a simple way of avoiding problems than some elaborate way just so it looks pretty.

I might make it less visible in the future if it won't get too buggy.
