TS3: Nicer Vendors + Ask Animation Edits

This mod requires Lazy Duchess' Mono Patcher Library to work properly!

This is a combo of two quick and dirty mods I made to solve some animation-related annoyances I had for a while. It contains a fix for vendors playing negative animations when Sims purchase from a register and adjusts the Ask animations to make these interactions quicker. 💬

Nicer Vendors

Ever since I started playing TS3, I was confused by the animations used for the Buy Items interaction on registers; it uses the same animations as the "Neutral" outcome of the Ask interactions, where the Sims have vaguely negative reactions to the interaction being performed.

This part of the mod contains a script that simply points these interactions to the "Friendly" state, which contains the more positive animations between the two Sims.

It should work on all registers across all EPs, including objects like the Seasons concessions stand, as well as certain Sims such as the special merchant from World Adventures and the tattoo artist from Ambitions. Let me know if I've missed something!

Ask Animation Edits

This is a jazz script replacement for the Ask animations. It adds more variety to the animations used both for the initiating Sim and the target Sim in the Friendly and Neutral states, so the positive and negative reactions are a little different every time.

The extra animations are generally shorter than the vanilla ones, so Sims actually spend less time performing these socials, which is always a good thing in my book because asking another person what they do for work shouldn’t take as long as it does in this game.

You may still see the vanilla animations happening from time to time, although they will be less likely.

Compatibility

The newest version of this mod is compatible with NRaas Consigner.

Ask Anim Edits will conflict with any other mod that replaces the social_askfor jazz script in JazzData.

TS3: CAS Animation Edits

This is a 2024 revamp of my old CAS Animation Edits mod that I released a couple years ago.

The mod aims to resolve a couple annoyances with the behavior of Sims in CAS; I've edited the CAS jazz script file and tweaked a number of EA animations to make Sims move around less while you're working on them, plus a few extras.

It won't make Sims stand completely static! There are already some great mods out there which achieve that, so I decided to focus on giving them better animations to improve the overall CAS experience.

More info, preview and download under the cut!

Features

Gender-neutral animations:

"Greeting" animations when creating a new Sim are no longer different between male and female Sims; instead, they will play a custom greeting animation.

Female Sims no longer stand with their heads tilted to the side; they now use the same idle animations and reactions as male Sims.

Better idles:

Sims stand still more when idle, rather than constantly gesturing and moving around. They will only react to changing body sliders and picking traits.

Improved facial animations: less smiling, no eye movements when zoomed into a Sim's face. Much more comfortable for editing facial features and taking screenshots. :P

Toddler animations have been replaced so that they will stand up.

The camera needed to be adjusted to zoom into the toddlers' faces correctly; I've included an extra package that combines Buhudain's edit of Shimrod's CAS camera mod with the toddler values from @criisolate's Closer Camera.

Known Issues

Some trait animations will snap back to the standing position once finished. This is an EA bug and not caused by the mod itself.

Compatibility

This mod will conflict with any other mod that edits the ingame\sims\soloanims\cas\animation\cas.jazz resource in JazzData.

The camera mod will conflict with any other mod that edits the CASCameras and CASCamerasWS INI resources.
