Sometimes you just need some romantic stuff and honestly, this would work so well for any stories I plan to do on my simblr as well. I love love love this. Thank you. You're most welcome! Here lies the land of romantic fluff! Come say hi on Tumblr, I'm always fascinated to see how the animations look on other sims.
Mia_ Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 And Our Winner Is... Did not see that coming... but with 35 votes out of 78 (I'm including Patreon votes which do not appear on the graph), it wins with just under 50% of the vote. Screen shots will appear as I progress, but come and have a snoop over on Tumblr if you wanna watch the full process. 1

Smelly Cat Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Blaaah, my vote didn’t win! But congrats to the 1st place. So will the other actions be animated somewhere in the future too, or was this just for the poll? 1

MimtheCrazy Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Eeee I followed your tumblr, your voice is gorgeous, I love your accent! Just letting you know- your background music was fairly loud, I strained to hear you talking at times. 2

Mia_ Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 An anouncement for everyone After the current animation is complete I will not be uploading any more content for the Wicked Whims mod. This is not because of any negative actions of the community on LoversLab, nor is it due to any disagreement with any of the animators or Turbodriver (the creator of the mod). I have been utterly spoilt by the support and responses of all parties. You have been a pleasure and a joy to create for. This is entirely my own decision. I want to create animations that I can share with the entire Sims community, and I want to help people animate through the silly little tutorials I write (or narrate). I want to animate actions with parents hugging their kids, or an older brother playing tag with his younger sibling, or even two people talking on a sofa whilst drinking coffee (<-- this was a request sent to me about a month ago and it is such a mundane, wonderful little thing it immediately seized my interest and has refused to let go). I cannot have a presence in both sides of the modding community, the adult and domestic, not when it comes to animating children. I will continue to animate for the Sims. I will not take down my animations that do exist on this forum, and for at least the next few months I will maintain them should any major changes to the WickedWhims mod break their functionality. I will also upload the current animation as one last update. Any new animations I make after this I will upload to Mod The Sims, and until I can figure out how to add new custom interactions to Sims 4 from which to run them independently, I will be creating them as Andrew’s Pose Player files. I will continue to make tutorials on animation, they will be uploaded on Tumblr and my YouTube channel for everyone to access. Sharing what I’ve learnt is such an important part of all this for me, and its a part that I genuinely enjoy. This will upset people, I expect some will find my actions unnecessary, extreme, and unfortunately I expect some people will get quite angry about this. If you see any comments that you believe are negative, hurtful or unnecessary, please do not take it upon yourself to deal with them. I do not want anyone to take up any chivalry or responses on my behalf. Criticism, if delivered with objectivity and reason, is a healthy part of debate. If anything comes up that is said with the sole purpose of being hurtful, then and only then will I remove it. There will likely be much divided opinion here, but I hope that everyone will accept this decision. I know from all the messages people have sent to me that this sort of animation, featuring tenderness, romance, foreplay and affection, is being called out for, and many of you want more animations of this nature. So make them. I mean that genuinely. I started, with absolutely no animation skills what so ever, four months ago. It is so possible to make your own animations. It isn't easy, and it would be wrong of me to give that impression, but it is possible for a complete novice to produce animations. Since I uploaded my first animations my download page has been viewed over 120,000 times. People want this sort of content. So give them this sort of content. Start making your own animations. And if you don't know where or how to start just ask. If you have questions about any of this, please do ask. I will respond. I am constantly and consistently amazed, astounded and humbled by the responses to my animations. I cannot express the sentiment with the eloquence the it deserves, but Thank You. I wish Turbodriver and the other animators all the best, and I want to say once more Thank You to everyone. Mia 9
FauxFurry Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 All good things must someday come to an end. What you have given to the Lovers Lab community is most appreciated, Mia. I wish you luck in your future endeavors. 4
MiniGiles Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 You will be missed in this neck of the woods but I look forward to what's next in your other endeavors. 2
Latuda Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks Mia for all your animations and for your franchise. A lot of animators would not have bothered to leave a note before leaving. Godo luck ! 1
porkybork Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 There's no need for you to stress over this. I'm glad you gave us what you did, and, even though I'm sad to see you go, I hope you're successful with you're SFW projects. Also, thanks for taking the time to make animation tutorials; the ones TD and RedAbyss posted are great, but having someone walk you through it is a major upgrade. 1
Guest Zivyx Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 I think it's a very good idea that you're not restricting yourself to one genre. You will learn how to make a much wider variety of animations. It can only be for the best in the end.
Ethyrdude Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Looking forward to your new stuff! Heading over to Tumblr to throw up a new book mark. 1

Sexuality is a fair sized part of most peoples lives, but it shouldn't be the only thing, or the sole focus to be honest. You make lifelike animations and i'm eager to see what you make next, and your tutorials will continue to help improve the community overall. Thanks again! 5
icedragon613 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Hi, I just found your animations and they look amazing! But unfortunately I'm having a problem where your animations aren't showing up to be selected for my MxF sims when I click on Wicked->Floor->Teasing. I can't find them at all, even though I have your .package file in my mods folder and on the Sims 4 startup screen the WW notification says that your animations have been loaded. I've also selected Males to be recognized as Females in case the animations were only same sex but your animations still don't show up. Any idea why I'm having this problem? Edit: Never mind, turns out it was an outdated version. It shows up now. I love your stuff, all the best! 1
Cataclysimz Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Love you Mia! No, no one is gonna get angry and hate you for anything.. You've been such a sweetheart to everyone and you've more than delivered when it comes to sharing your animations with us... I'll always support you and use your animations wherever you choose to post them! Good luck with your future creations and i look forward to see more from you.. 1
Guest Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Mia, your animations are wonderful. Are you keeping the same identity for the general community animations as well (assuming you release them to the general community sites, of course)? Asking in earnest, because I will be checking to download and incorporate them. If your romantic animations are any indication, I am sure a rousing game of tag will be a wonder to behold (no joking at all, I can't even imagine the amount of work that would entail). You are an amazing animator, and I am a grateful simmer for what you've shared with us.
calebaiden Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 It would be amazing if you can make some slow dance animations for Sims 4, since this is lacking from the main game (look at The Sims 2 slow dance) 2

Thank you so much for the praise! Most of the animations that I've put up on here will appear on Mod The Sims in the next month or so, they're gonna need a little adjusting but once that's done I'll collect them together in a pose pack. As for following future progress Tumblr gets updated the most so check that for updates.

I'll add it to a to do list
mike24 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I dont said before but your are making beatiful animations, they are very pretty romantic animations. Good job!! 1
Julie J Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I love what you do and understand as a creator the need to do something different. I'll certainly look out for your new animations at ModTheSims ... Good luck 1
Mia_ Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 First preview for the final animation. I've deviated a tiny bit from the original Gif, but I hope it really just comes off as an embelishment, rather than a complete change. Anywho: 4

Anywho: Literally should be part of EA's animations in my opinion. I still can't believe there's no cuddling like this in the sims 4.
