    Why would someone give a pregnant sim a pat on the back when they announce they're pregnant? It's just like "oh all that woohooing finally did its job? nice work!" :D And the woohoo animation haha, what's with the fist pump before they go to the bed? I kinda miss when they'd make out then head to the bed in sims 3. And eating is the funniest looking thing, like they're smiling the whole time and get chipmunk cheeks while chewing.

      Yah the fist pump thing is kinda lame, it's cringy. Thank goodness my sims don't woohoo so I don't have to put up with that. XD

      It would be nice if the lead up animations before woohooing were different based on your sims trait. Two bro sims could highfive or fist pump, romantic sims would kiss tenderly, goofball sims might giggle nervously etc.

      Yeah, a lot of the animations are quite goofy. I can't stand some of them. :s
      I actually use a lot of mods to change their goofy smiles and how they celebrate the act of WooHooing. :p

      The majority of animations in this game is not fun, actually they are pretty silly.

      Fortunately for the woohoo cheer, Shimrod101 makes a mod that replaces those animations.

      The problem with it is is it's not a human reaction which pulls me right out of any idea of it being a life simulator. It just is not how people react when they're about to do that -- at least not to each other. It's one instance where consulting a behavioral psychologist may have done them a bit of good rather than the apparent "winging it," that they ended up doing.

      The fist pumping before woohoo makes me laugh because it's so out of place to me. It's like two bros going yo bro let's woohoo, yes bro dude.. LOL.

      Hmmm maybe best not to mention this, but perhaps that fist pump cheer is actually someones best ever woohoo technique and it works for them every time in real life...which maybe why it was included :D

      @DeKay Cringier than the Arthur fist meme.

      @EisbergsEnte Lol I love that pic so much.

      @Felicity Is there a mod like that for walk styles? I'm not really fond of the stomping around when a sim is mad or finding a rando doing the goofy walk. And yeah, I think TS4 has gotten a little silly and unrealistic with the woohoo animations. It's either fist pump or acting like an overexcited two year old.

      @Shadowica You basically described this https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/03/2d/e0/032de02519f8e92f37d09d3d3f57b72d.jpg in a nutshell. I had to take a minute and recover from my cackling :D:D

      @Bloosmoo I don't want to know which dev that technique works for. :D

      Yes, also by Shimrod101 over at modthesims. http://modthesims.info/browse.php?gs=0&u=3066089&f=414

      Edit: Some direct links:

      http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=539218
      http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=576378
      http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=534038

      I like this one as well. I miss the cuddles though it takes away the finishing animation.
      http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=577758

      Edit again, ugh, apparently, the one which disabled a lot of the walk styles is obsolete. Urgh, sorry!

      OR perhaps they're still okay. I think it has been updated since declared obsolete so they're probably fine.

      Last edit: Shimrod's IS discontinued but Simstopic picked it up. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=569456

      @SimGuruTrev could these animations be re-done possibly In the future?

      I love the Arthur fist meme. It's the best and totally not cringy. XD
