Image C shows the corrected version that The Sims 4 automatically creates.īecause Create A Sim allows such extreme modifications of body shape, this problem exists not just for animations where the Sim touches its body, but for any animation where the hands get near the body, which turns out to be pretty much every animation in the game. Image B shows what it would look like if we just played A’s animation on B without adjustment. Image A above shows an idle playing on a thin Sim. So when the Sim plays back that animation, their hand would be buried inside their body: The problem is that the hip on a sumo wrestler sized Sim would be an additional half foot out from where a more slender Sim’s hip would be.
In the animation, that hand will have a defined position in space - about three feet up from the ground and one foot over from the center of the Sim. Imagine you are creating an animation where a Sim puts her hand close to her hip. While all of that variety is of course awesome, it also creates a huge challenge in terms of animation: A Sim’s head can be squished or stretched, it’s all up to you. Noses can be huge or tiny, hooked or straight, wide or narrow. You can make your Sims wispy thin or sumo wrestler large. This tool offers a wide variety of customizable content, including physical features.
The Sims 4 features perhaps the most powerful character creator in gaming.
