Toddler changing table coming soon (for real this time, I hope)
🕑 Added 2021-07-25 23:52:06 +0000 UTCHi guys, I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the new cottage living pack! Personally, I haven't bought it yet because I'm trying to finish this changing table and not get distracted lol.
after 23048293487987523 attempts and wanting to give up at least once a day everyday, I finally got the changing table to work without any errors. I have worked on this for a total of 2 months and this is officially the longest I have spent on a mod ( not including collaboration projects), it is so silly how a seemingly simple interaction end up taking so much effort.
I mean look at how many attempts I made:
(I only start a new attempt if the file I'm working with is a dead end and I need to try a completely new method)
as it turns out, 2 sims having seamless interactions with a object is one of the hardest ones to make. By seamless I meant the 2 sims have to start the interactions at the exact same time and on specific spots, you might think the "help drawing" interaction from my drawing pad was also a 2 sim 1 object interaction, but that one didnt require the sims to interact seamlessly, it didnt matter if 1 sim started the animation before or after the other sim, and it didnt matter where the helper sim stood, as long as they stood close by, and small things like this is what makes one interaction super easy and another near impossible to make.
As far as I know only 2 modders have done similar interactions, thePancake1 and turbodriver. The worst part is I ended up having to write a script mod, and script mods are written in a completely different language called python, but I dont know python at all Lol I honestly thought that end gonna be the end of this porject , but luckily I was able to contact thePancake1, and he gave me permission to use his script as a base, so I only had a tweak a few things to make my own script. Then just as I was about to give you guys an update and share the good news, cottage living patch dropped and broke the script (of course it did) D :
but I was able to fix it. : p
I have finished the animation and now just need to do a couple more things so that it functions properly. If you made it this far, thank you for listening to my ranting, I can't wait to finish this and finally move on to other projects!!!
here is a image of everything included in this set.
