    Just like a toddlers first steps... Hmm, yeah. I'd like to think eventually they'll fix things to work in a somewhat reasonably realistic manner, but honestly I'm not hoping for much more than a few small things like this each EP that are specifically relevant to that EP.

    Great job with Mr. Sausages again.

    Have you seen the latest "you rule" problem? If your Sim retires they lose access to their career perks they have unlocked.

    I played my scientist through the entire science career. After a while, it gets boring, so I wanted to retire from science and try something else. Imagine my shock when I learned that my home chem machine would no longer let me use it when I retired. I earned the right to use this thing, how dare they take it away from me when I retired.

    Is it luck the way you capture these expressions or do you have some magic trick?

    I'm sort of used to the way the characters go into their different animation cycles now after being with Sausages so long, so I'm getting quite skilled at pausing just at the right moment, or as close as I can. It also helps that I'm an animator, so I'm pretty used to spotting individual frames in a moving sequence that would be useful - I also get very lucky when there are other NPCs in the scene - like that bit with Charlene and the push-ups, she started doing them while Mr. Sausages was already half way through his 'tell story to self' interaction, so I knew there was a point in that action that made him look at the screen with a bemused face and a hand down gesture. Then I hit pause and hope for the best. It can be tricky when there are more than two of them, so have to compromise on a capture, because you can always guarantee one of them will be just standing there staring in to space with a silly grin ruining the shot.

    I'm getting caught out a lot with the new expansion though, with loads of new stuff happening, so I often miss some great shots - like when I froze Miss Gardener for the first time, I was too busy laughing at the frozen result to get the grab of the former receptionist coming in and waving at him before sitting down - it would have been a more relevant and funny picture, but you can never predict these NPCs.

    I do have to say I think the reactions (although still flawed) are getting much better, certainly with the co workers, admittedly they don't really care that their friend get zapped that much - but some of them do which is the important bit. One of the requirements for levelling up early on is to blast collogues with the ray, so I had to do it a lot at first - and it gave me hope that on a couple of occasions, the other workers stopped and gasped at what happened. Admittedly they went back to normal straight after - full grin and everything, and they had to be quite close to what was happening, but it's a start.
    Why am I not surprised you're an animator ;) I love what you're doing with this game. I hope you won't get tired of mr. Sausage for quite a while and keep sharing his adventures here.

    Thanks Emberdahl! /fangirling

    If he has an alien baby it'll need a sausage outfit. Somehow...

    About as close as I can get to an alien baby-sausage outfit for today, especially because I'm not particularly adept at making meshes and alien babies are shiny so their clothes are shiny.

    hmmm... still needs a lot of work, but I'm done for the time being. I'll see how I go later if anyone is interesting in my keeping on with it :lol:

    That is totally wonderful, and I would certainly grab that off you @Frogprincess_q but about 10 more episodes have been already grabbed and ready to sort out. Not that I'm saying he has a baby of course, but if he did, pretend that it is wearing that outfit when I post up the rest of the story.

    By the way, am I the only who is not that excited with pregnant sausage :( ?. Somehow I feel, it doesn't fit him.

    I agree that it doesn't fit him, but it does fit the lambastment. Unwanted alien pregnancies are a very topical issue with GTW and I'm sure that Mr S. will respond perfectly :lol: as always.

    I almost forgot that this thread/story was created to address the issue with TS4...

    I am having too much fun that I totally forgot that :blush: .

    There is nothing "advanced" about the emotions in TS4 yet they were so greatly advertised. My sim will randomly become "inspired" or "focused" from literally eating cereal.

    Here we have a TS2 Sim catching his gf cheating, note the expression on his face before any interaction occurs.
