They should have given female Sims a different sitting animation.

Wasting_Night · March 2015

Because it always bothered me how female Sims would just sit there with their legs wide open. It doesn't look too bad when they'r wearing pants or shorts but it's really jarring if they're wearing a skirt. It's why I hardly put skirts on Sims I make. I guess it was probably too hard and too expensive to do.

Heh. I noticed that too. I even took pictures of the right and wrong way for a "lady" to sit from Sims 3:

Not while wearing a skirt I hope.

I agree @Wasting _Night. Skirts have always had weird animation when sims sit. Toddlers in dresses all but disappeared behind them.

Well I don't wear skirts, so there's that. I guess I'm just not very ladylike xD

You're not alone I sit the same way

The Sim skirt does look weird though.

Andygal · March 2015

I never wear skirts in real life either. But some of my Sims do, and it does look pretty weird and wonky when they sit like that.

Unfortunately I have seen many women do this style of sitting in rl, and it's not cool especially when they are not properly dressed.
So for this to occur in the game is well rather jarring to my mind, I hate to see dirty underwear when briefs are only $5 at walmo.

You sit there and stare long enough to notice whether underwear is dirty or not?
creepy.

Well yes because I have this thing with perfect vision, and a photographic memory.
One look at their lower area by accident of course, like within seconds I can tell the color and the cleanliness.
Like this one time I was eating at applebees and well this couple was sitting ahead...
Anyway the ladygal spread her legs, and I swear I just glanced by accident and she had this yellow smear upon her pink silky.
I swiftly looked away, I felt the sweat just trinkle from my brown...
I felt utterly nervous as my mind racked about how that handsome guy was going to meet that at night...

I am sitting here giggling. As most know I am an old lady and I can tell you now my Deportment teacher would have a field day with those photos. The first pose would have got you sent to the headmistress and the second well let's just say you would have been compared to a working girl.

This is the 21st century and we should do whatever makes us comfortable. Maxis for all their faults have picked up on this fact. These days I live in trousers being too old for short skirts. To be honest I much prefer a midi with a dipped hem

I believe Maxis is right and for once I hope it is not changed.

Is there any room left under the rock? I'll bring snacks ^^

Ditto females and males can sit as the please, naturally the skirt would probably fall between the legs but as the game doesn't have a physics engine to let the fabrics flow naturally we end up with the block

"The block"

I think this calls for some Jaws music

Crackseed · March 2015

I have nothing much to add in this thread beyond some giggling. Ahh, the sitting habits of women. A study all on its own. (I do wish the Sims would adjust their sitting based on clothing - would be pretty awesome)

I would find it incredibly aggravating if the women sat like the second picture. Not all of my female sims are snobbs. Some of them are regular women, not bothered by etiquette thought out by people with entirely too much time on their hands.

Sitting the second way doesn't make you snob. I sit like that all the time because it's comfortable for me. Women should be allowed to sit however they want without being judged as long as it's comfortable.

Besides, as a male - while I certainly want my partner feeling comfortable enough to sit however the heck she wants, the cross leg thing is so...ridiculously feminine and alluring IMO.

When I wore skirts and dresses, forced upon me in my childhood years *shudder*, I didn't always sit crossed legged in them. I just sat with my legs together and sometimes cross legged. I wouldn't mind if they at least had their legs together like they do when a sims about to stand up. But unless he or she is wearing pants, shorts, or kapris close those legs. It's just not appropriate.

The poor simmie is in her house! people! Don't abuse her :P

Like I said before usually the skirt will hang down between your legs so it would be like wearing pants and if not, it's probably to tight to spread your legs like that.

this is exactly what this thread and you are doing. Judging women on how they sit, with their legs open.

Yourraxus · March 2015

People are allowed to sit how they like.

The Sims Forums

They should have given female Sims a different sitting animation.
