Revamping "Walking Styles" System

DragonCat159

I think one of the biggest downsides of allowing emotions interfere and change the style of sims walking is that destroys diversity, because it renders their chosen style from CAS pointless/useless as it wouldn't matter If your sim normally bounces while (s)he gets depressed/sad or (s)he is a Sluggish walker when on daily basis going on a gym makes them energize and... you get the miss. The ability to select a walkstyle is pointless/useless, as emotions change it at daily basis. Or vice versa:

Ok, so what are your stances.

I don't quite understand the difference between one and two?

I really don't like the walking styles. lol I 99% of the time all my sims have the normal walk. And I used to have a mod that stopped them from getting those goofy walks when in certain moods, but I've lost it and can't find it. I also have a mod that stops them from doing the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 walk when they have to go to the bathroom. I mean, really? Who walks like that, other than kids!

With vote #1, you basically propose that's how they will walk entirely in their life with what style you selected for them.
#2: Your sims will walk normally until they're in a certain mood.

I just wish they would zig-zag and stumble around when dazed.

JoAnne65

Thanks. So 1 for me (and me not choosing any of them ).

I like it as it is. I think it's cute when they come out of the gym all energetic with a pep in their step, for example. Or how they walk off their chests out after getting someone's number

Plus, I wouldn't want it to be so that if I chose the bouncy walk for a sim, they would still use it when they get sad. My sims get sad over the dumbest things, but I must say that they do portray the sadness quite well, the walk being part of that.

As long as the more ridiculous walks don't get forced on us I don't mind it

I_Wanted_To_Be_Edgy

I picked one even though I don't really even mess with walkstyles much unless I want to give one of my girls the feminine walk, but @CyrusTheLoser makes a good point. I would hate for my very sad sims to be walking about all peppy :P. It'd be a bit odd.

AHolyToilet

I disagree as I've never experienced this problem. I would just like more walkstyles. I hate all of the walkstyles on male Sims and I only like the feminine walk on females.

The bladder walk is stupid, though.

dopaminedroid

The walking styles are too over the top to select them as the default, so my sims always get the normal one. I'd like to be able to select a towned-down version of the various walking styles in CAS for some realistic variety. And maybe the moodlet-triggered walking styles can vary in intensity too.

Your sims don't change their walking style when they get sad or angry?

Pegasys

I don't use most of the CAS walkstyles but I like most of the emotion-based walkstyles. The angry one might seem over the top, but IRL I have a family member who is hot-headed and I have seen them doing the same stomping. I think the only walkstyle that annoys me is the bladder one, I agree about that. There's a mod somewhere that removes that walkstyle for older sims, I might just start using that.

I would like some more walk styles.

I would love some new poses for uploads to.

BlueR0se

I would like more walk styles.

Hermitgirl

I don't use any weird walks as default walks. I just use the default, the strutting one? and the feminine walk. I'd most like a few more normalish walk variations though for our sims.
I do like to see the emotional/mood walks sometimes... the teenage drag is always funny to me. The angry stomp is only funny in my sims home when I get them angry.. when I see them on the street it's irritating. The 🐸🐸🐸🐸 walk makes me chuckle.. again sometimes. I do like the sad walk. The tired walk is amusing after a long day.
Really though I wish they were all toned down a bit, but I don't think they are going to revamp it all.

Can't believe the plummed out PP walk

DragonCat159

I agree. PP walk on adults look to childish, but I wouldn't surprise If it was deliberately implemented to appeal to the certain group of players that like such humour.

ChadSims2

The majority of walk styles are just to over the top to be useable I'd love to see more unique but normal walk styles.

AlbaWaterhouse

Every time I think about the walking styles and how they pushed them when launching the game and how they used it as an excuse for other missing features I get angry.
I never use any walking style that is not the default one. And the emotion or needs triggered ones are silly and over the top on "normal" YA+ sims and a waste of resources that I am glad never had any attention from the developers after launch.
I say the damage is done, leave it as it is and don't waste resources on it.

musteni

I like the walking styles and I don't see a problem with them. Would love to see some more!

paradiseplanet

I'd rather they focus on an expanded emotions/personality/traits system then waste their time on walk styles.

Pretty much this.

Huiiie_07

I didn't really see a problem in the walkstyles as it is now (I just hate the walk style they have when they need to go to the toilet, their bladder is deep in the red and they still walk sooo slowly, they should be running 🐸🐸🐸🐸 ). I would like some new walkstyles though, I get so bored with the ones we have now that I also see myself giving more and more sims I create just the normal walk. It's nice that they added a new one with the Vampires GP, so maybe they'll do it again.

honeywitch

I only ever use the default and feminine walk styles. I don't like the others but I don't mind them being there for others who enjoy them. The emotion/needs triggered walks are mostly amusing but I don't like the bladder one when the sim is an adult.

DaemonPaws

I don't mind the emotional walk styles so much, but I wouldn't mind a toggle or some choice to turn that off because there are some I don't like. Mostly I just want more walk styles to choose from because I only use default and feminine as it is now. I like the personality that was put into the walk style choices, don't get me wrong, it's just that only the two are really my style or something I can see myself looking at for any length of time. I'd love to have more.

DreamaDove

we just need more less exaggerated walk-styles.
