Sims walking side by side and talking? «12...Next Go

isaiahzay

The trailer for Strangerville shows sims walking side by side while talking to each other multiple times. Is this a new feature or just made to look like that for the trailer??

It’s always bugged me that if you tell sims to go somewhere together they all jog separately, this would be a really nice touch to have them actually walk together and have a conversation! It would make exploring the world with your sims a lot more fun and realistic.

I saw this too. I really want this to be a thing and not an animation for trailer. It was literally the only thing that got me excited first.

Don’t read into it. The trailer was very staged.

have they been staged with sims 4 before? I know the trailers were in S2. Not sure about 3 and 4.

I noticed this and commented about this too in another thread! I don't know if it's staged because I haven't seen animations that aren't available in Sims 4 trailers before.

Scenarios that are difficult to set up, yes (like someone clapping at the same time something else happens, but the clapping isn't actually a real reaction). Animations? Not that I can recall. Hope it's something new!!

We'll see very soon. February 26th is less than a week away!

I think it’s staged. Sims 4 trailers always are. Look at the city living trailer with sims jogging side by side.

Yes, but it's possible now to set up sims jogging side by side. I could create a machinima and have many sims jogging together (using a teleporter mod, etc.) It's not possible to set up sims walking and talking at the same time.

If this is new it could open up the possibility for hand holding in the future.

Do you think the group photo was staged?

I'm skeptical about trailers. A lot of things are staged to give a sort of story so I'm waiting to see actual gameplay

They did stage sims walking side by side in TS3 before it came out and those sims were also talking while walking together.

That's a cut scene type clip. It is not actual gameplay.

TS3 or TS4 Strangerville?

I really hope they add the standing photo option for pictures we took, I hope it's not a fake. We had these standing photos in Sims 3.

I hope it's a new animation and like @catloverplayer said I hope they can come out with hand holding if this is a new animation.

The group photo in the trailer is too high res for it not be staged. The photos we have in game right now are of low quality and low res.

& There's three sims! I'm more excited about that than the pack.

I agree with this. I hope those are comming soon.

The walking and talking is what caught my attention most. Hopefully our sims will have the ability to do this now. If not, guess I'll have to stick with walking talking poses.

All the trailers are staged. Marketing takes the game and stages it all.

I think this is, sadly, just a visual for the trailer. I can see no mention of it in the patch notes and if it was something they had added I don't think it would be restricted to purchasing the new pack.

I remember the Jungle Adventures trailer showed a sim shading her eyes from the sun, holding her head up to her brow, but I don't see that as an interaction in game. That supports the idea that trailers don't always feature animation that is in game (unless this is an interaction/animation that I haven't stumbled across).

I understand things are staged for trailers but I do think they should take care not to place 'focus' on things like the trio picture when they are things we can't do. From a narrative standpoint for the trailer I get it but all it does it get peoples hopes up.
