how to make animations with objects or squirt effect for example?

In the "tutorial" section there is explained how to animate it or let you Sim use it.
For the squirt effect you should check for an effect similar to the "squirting" and add it as an "event"

[bobahloo]

So does the command   ww.play_effect<effect_name>[joint_name]  actually work to test effects in game?  Been trying this and it says it played the effect on active sim, but I see nothing. Tried while sim was in a WW animation, tried outside of a WW animation, nothing yet it always says it played it in the command box. Tried several different effects and bone combos still see nothing even though it says it played it.

Hey Bobahloo! Yep it works, I often check variety effects in game by this command. For example like here - two different effects on the hand bone. 

ww.play_effect vampire_corpus_smoke_from_nebula b__R_Hand__

ww.play_effect gp04_vampire_creation_glow b__R_Hand__

Hmm.. Ill give it another try using your examples, probs just overlooked something on my end. Actually, now that I see your examples, I think I used the "<>" brackets in when I tried lol.  THANKS for the Help.

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?

So, guys, my name is Quin, and i started trying to create some animations a few weeks ago.

Have read this thread while making my first sequence using a coffin and i realized many people here uses the Dagger rig for female and the Bpc for males, so, anyone uses the old rig provided by turbo driver? I'm using this one but i don't know if it can be a problem in the future, im in the very beginning, and the turbo one seems more easy to me to understand the animation process.

And the in-game-objects, i have appended the coffin for the animation, but didn't figure out how to "open it", i'm making some things with it closed and static, but don't know is there is a way to take the coffin cover off somehow (coffin closed image bellow)
 

Have a good day everyone, and thank you all for the very good things you all have provided for everyone in all these years.

Shouldn't be any problem using those rigs, there are a few animators who don't use/like the kinetic ones. All my older animations using the ones turbo provided still work fine. As for the coffin, there should be bones to open it and animate it.

 

At the right top of your blender there will be a list of all the objects you have loaded in, your actors, objects, etc.  Go to the coffin in the list, click on the "+" next to it, it will expand, then you will see like "B_root"(don't mess with that!), but keep expanding till you see "transformabone", expand that and then you should see all the bones in that rig. If its rigged to be able to open, you will have to find the proper bone listed under the "transformabone" to use to open and animate it.  The transformabone can be used to move/reposition the entire rig(again, don't touch the b_Root_). Also make sure you are in pose mode before moving anything.

 

Hope that helps, not the best at explaining things.

Some reworks and a new animation I'm finally getting around to working on.

Money Shot.

[HKo_83]

Woops... Been almost over year (or is [even more]...) since I updated anything. I'm totally out of all new cool features we're able to but in animations and the tons of stuff there is to animate for ( if updated to last with all expansions of course )...

But I'm not totally forgotten this community as I regular check what you ppl have been up to... +7k animations from LL alone... 

 

As always I've tried to come up with somethings not existing or lack variants for my taste for the update I'm trying to get done... (as last time...)

Spoiler

I know there's a ton of reversed CG animations on double beds but I've not seen these around... 

 

this is same as above but yet a variant I've been missing

 

there's a lot animations for windows/ mirror and stuff, but only one set (as far as I know!) for grouping

 

and as I might be the only interested this location I've tried to come something new (dunno yet if it'll work!)

Dresser animations are going to have addition at least one BJ sequence...

 And this is what I don't recon to seen in animations thus not knowing yet if it'll work but I've tried on these the _cheek_ bones R/L

( if it may look like sucking better than just extruding the bones around mouth) 

 

Hope I get this done before wknd as like Jon Snow said: "Winter's cumming!" and need to get car ready for icy roads...

Hi guys, how are you doing?

I have a question about the effects, for example, if i have make a animation that plays in the sofa or the bed, but i attach a reference for a effect/sound that comes with a gp or ep and the user who is trying to play the animation don't have this especific gp or ep, what happens? the animation will play whitout the effect/sound or the animation will not be listed?

I am pretty sure it just won't have the effect/sound if the user doesn't have that pack, but the animation should still show as long as it's not specified for a custom location that is from a pack.

I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn the effects and sounds are added into base game updates. It's possible they will still work for everyone, if not though, it will do as bobahloo said and just play the animation without the sound/effect.

Animation not showing up in The sims 4?

 

Hi im new to  all of this and I followed TURBODRIVER's tutorials: https://turbodriver.itch.io/wickedwhims/devlog/139556/creating-wickedwhims-animation-xml-file-4 , I made a teasing animation, 1 male, 1 Female

And everything was going well until i got to the XML part

I did everything it said and my Animation still wont show up in the game, it doesnt show up when i go to the "teasing" category, its not in any of the other categorys either

 

 

Is it my XML file?

Hi, there were a couple of formatting mistakes (one missing tag and two tags in the wrong order) in the XML.

This one should be fixed:

S4_7DF2169C_00000000_616D0D50ECEEB464.xml

 

Aside from that, the clip_names are missing (f.ex. in line 22).

You need to replace those with the clip names for the corresponding "clip". You can see that in S4PE:

Spoiler

 

I might very well have missed something, but I would start from there.
