Mods Updates and Wip's
🕑 Added 2024-04-13 21:25:49 +0000 UTCHi guys! I hope you are all well. It wasn't my best month so far, so I wasn't able to be that active. I'm sorry about that. But I am finally back on track😊, and I am really excited to share with all of you the Upcoming Kiss-n-Grind new animation and all the new other updates and WIPs
I received multiple comments and wonderful recommendations on multiple different posts; I am sorry for the ones that I haven't responded to them yet! With every other thing that was going on, I wasn't really able to do that, but I am completely flattered by all the compliments and feedback. Thank you so much!!🙏
And I will try to read all of them and respond to each one of them.
So, I didn't want to delay this post more than necessary. Therefore, while i am still working on the release for the new update, I will drop this post that will contain; all the small updates for the Kiss-n-Grind and the Billiard Mod, some info about the upcoming new Kiss-n-Grind animation, and WIPs for the next mod updates. Also, a new animation pack, not exactly new, but more on that later!
✅The Currents Updates:
Kiss-n-Grind Update:
The main feature of this update is that the actor will stay an actor, and the target will stay a target with their corresponding animations. With this feature, I could now add autonomy to the mod and somewhat control it
So the autonomy has been added; But the interactions won't play autonomously unless the Sims are listening to music or dancing. It will not work with AirPods; it only works with loud music! and dance floors.
Not basically listening. They should be in the same room where there is music, and the autonomy will work. The restrictions are the same: the sims should have high romance and at least have their first kiss, even for NPC's. Of course, with more testing, I may tweak the intensity of it to add to it and higher it or lower it,
There is a small issue with some buffs that will need a rework. I think most of you won't notice it, but I am working on it. I just wanted to release this update as quickly as possible.
Billiard Mod Update:
I have reworked the types of interaction used on the mod. It's more stable now and less likely to bug out (sometimes your sim may freeze a little bit at the end; this is just a way for the game to resync the interaction with the game)
it may happen if there is a lot of stuff going on, like a big lot, a lot of sims, or using Speed 3
I fixed a bug that caused Sims to autonomously wanting to play on the pool table even when there wasn't one in the active lot. Now, it shouldn't happen anymore. Also, I have removed the need to have an XML injector for autonomy, but you will still need it for my other mods.
Let's talk more about autonomy. I was going to lower it, but after asking a lot of you, the result was a mix; some say it was high, some say that it's normal, and there are that find it low, although it shouldn't be low,
I have tried some new solutions with it, but I don't think we will have perfect results. The autonomy in-game isn't working as it should, and other mods that use autonomy could also affect the results. So, it will always be random.
The mod is conflicting with Martial Arts Mod from Mercuryfoam. So remove that mod until it's updated.
🟩Upcoming Updates and WIPs:
The current Kiss-n-Grind Update:
The next major update will be the New Waved Kiss interactions to the kiss-n-grind mod. The interaction is an intimate small dance with some kissing and flirting. The animation is basically a couple's dance, but I have lowered the dance and the moves. So it can be played as a romantic interaction and as a club interaction!
The update is nearly done. I am fixing some foot issues with animations and trying to rework some tunings. I have also finished making the icons.
Stay tuned for it. I had intended to release it today. But as I said, I've run into some unexpected issues, so I'll need to push the release for more days. If things don't go as planned, the latest it will be out is Tuesday.
Upcoming Animations Pack:
This isn't a mod update. This is an animation pack that you can use with pose-player
I have worked on them a long time ago for Mpabel, the creator of the More Kiss mods. Since then, I didn't have much time to put them into an animation pack until now.
Those are multiple romantic animations (kiss animations) that I have merged into one package file. I still need to check which mods used them, but I will post more on that in the downloaded post.
Basically, I am planning on releasing it soon; I still need to tweak some stuff and organize all the animations. I am more focused now on the kiss-n-grind update, so I didn't find the time for it,
Billiard Mod WIP:
I am also working on the next update of the billiard mod; since working on this mod takes so much time, I have decided to work on it while I am releasing other stuff (work on it in the background), so you don't have to wait so much for new updates/releases,
As you can see in the screenshots, this update will be all about romantic interaction, so youre couple sims will also play together. The game doesn't have a lot of couple activity, so I thought that this would be a great addition to the mod and the game!
I think that this one deserves its own post to talk more about. and I don't want to keep this post any longer than this, so for now, here are some screenshots about it👇
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have been here supporting me🙏. The support and kind words I receive mean a lot to me. Thank you!💛

The pool table is amazing. I'm having an issue with it though, not sure if its just exclusive to me. Players don't seem to "reserve" the table, so more sims start playing on it when it already should be occupied... And so everyone keeps clipping into each other.

Hello. I moved my comment from your most recent post where I should have posted it. Sorry. I have noticed a bug with the pool table. While my Sims are in the middle of cooking, sleeping, or working, they will autonomously attempt to play a game of pool, then cancel the interaction right after. This has resulted in one of Sims coming home early from work everyday after being there less than an hour. He lives in an apartment complex with his wife, so I put the pool table in a shared space for all the tenants. Do you think you could take a look at this?

Yes, I have to say that his animation is very smooth

Keep it up, and thanks for your work, your animations are the best I've seen!!! Thanks
