Better Spooning

---

I've always liked the spooning animation that will sometimes play when 2 sims in a romantic relationship are sleeping together, but the hard requirement that the sims be in a romantic relationship always felt limiting. This mod attempts to add a bit of nuance to when the animation can play.

 

Sims are now required to have a positive LTR before the animation can play. This means that couples who's relationship is on the rocks will not be spooning. Assuming the LTR requirement is met, then the animation can play under either of the following conditions:

• The relationship is romantic, or
• The relationship is friendly, and:
  • They are attracted to each other (base game attraction system), or
  • They have already had sex

 

The mod is compatible with Kinky World, but it's not required. One thing to note is if you have the Sleep Over The Blanket setting for KW set to Always then this mod won't actually do anything since it only has an effect when sims are sleeping under the blanket. Make sure the setting is set to either ArousedOnly, or Never.

 

Requires Mono Patcher.

It replaces the Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Beds.BedSleep.LoopHandler() method, and will conflict with any other mod that does so.

 

The source is included as a separate, optional download for the curious.

 

Special thanks to @Denton47 for the hint on which code to modify all those months ago.

You mentioned KW. Does this also allow spooning if the sims are sleeping on top of the covers, like KW does, or do they need to be sleeping under the covers, the plain EA version of sleeping?

No it doesn't affect KW's above covers mechanics. It only applies to the EA under the covers. It's compatible with KW in that it doesn't interfere with it, but it also doesn't expand on it. I guess I should have mentioned that if KW is configured where sims always sleep above the covers then this mod won't actually do anything. It only has an effect if sims are still allowed to sleep under the covers when they're not aroused.
