Weird animation?

GasolineCrea

I keep seeing my sim, Elspeth, put their hands by their hips with their hands facing outwards, sticking their neck up, and doing some sort of weird tasered chicken gesture. That's really the only way I can describe it. Their spine goes real straight, like all her bones locked up.
It's only started happening since Island Living...I'm not sure if it's a pack, a mod, a trait, or what
anyone know?

Is Elspeth a mermaid? I saw they have a wacky idle animation.

That’s a mermaid thing, just like how vampires hiss.

They're supposed to look like a dolphin when they do that, in case that helps.

I think its hilarious, really. Just the sound is enough to give me the giggles I have a merman with that tough walkstyle, and the brash, deep voice. Then suddenly he releases his inner dolphin, and its just too much for me ... I can't stop laughing

Just wondering if SimGuruJill had anything to do this. Her dolphin sounds are awesome
ETA: I think it was Jill, anyway...I'm horrible with remembering names

The first time I saw it in the game changers videos, I thought they looked like chickens too 😂

Here's my Kaipo doing that. (Posted this pic in another thread, but also posting here since it's relevant.)
It's normal for him, and at least he usually does it as soon as he wakes up in the morning. He's kind of a dork, and I love when he does this. His wife always chooses not to notice this behavior...

I think I'd also choose to not notice, honestly
