@Spottydog714 I will checkout stat!

@InfraGreen it's looking good! I started doing TS4 poses and have become addicted to it, literally. I plan on getting couple poses down, and when I have more time, get to animations. I just don't have enough time in my day! It's been a few weeks since I've done any new poses but right now I'm wanting to focus in on making some new realistic skins for my simmies. Shooting for ultra-realism...

@Jellysimwich Thank you

Spottydog714 · July 2016

I love sims... This is the inside of my Bachelorette house. I have literally booted up this house for a little bit for the first time just to see what happens... And we're not even 5 minutes into the competition, my time, and 1hour sims time, and one the contestants is already shirtless staring at Amara's backside...

Jellysimwich · July 2016

@Spottydog714 I'm watching your vid right now and it's looking great. (I'm totally multitasking here...scoring model comp entries and whatnot

)

@CitizenErased14 (And everyone talking about poses)

What exactly are you guys looking for in poses? I am a bit confused here since everyone seems to think that the poses released are not good enough for story telling? There is literally an entire section on the CC finds blog specifically for story telling and those creators take requests. I linked them once before but not sure if anyone saw it or not.

Who is everyone?

I must have missed the discussion on poses and only caught the tail-end of @InfraGreen's post. I think there's lots of great CC poses out there. I'm just addicted to making them myself and keep storing them on my computer. I need to offload them to the community soon.

Jellysimwich · July 2016

PS. In fact... if you guys find couple poses that work with pose player, tag me, because I'm always on the lookout for those! I do have several blogs I follow that have a bunch but I'm sure there's more out there

@OJenn The biggest complaint we have is that most couple poses have very expressionless faces. There is no emotion on the sims' faces. (Especially the guy's faces, I've noticed). I've seen some good storytelling poses and have downloaded/used some, but I share the gripe about most couple poses being quite expressionless. I have a great one that's supposed to be a man comforting a woman, and the body language is great, but there's zero expression on either sims' faces.

Unfortunately, it was my only option so I've used it, and it will show up in a future gen 4 chapter of my legacy (again, because the body positioning was too good to pass up haha). But it irks me that it kind of makes my characters look like they have no feeling! (By the way, there are a handful of couple poses with good facial expressions! I have those too. But most are quite statue-like, from what I've seen).

Also, the simple fact that most of them are modeling poses or couple poses. I'd love more poses of friends hanging out and stuff!

I have seen some popping up on lanaccfinds, so hopefully they will continue to be released!

(Oh, and sometimes there are just some poses that don't seem to exist. Like one that I really wanted/needed for a future chapter but I searched the internet up and down and didn't find one that works, so I have to improvise

)

Jellysimwich · July 2016

@CitizenErased14 well and to be fair, at least from my experience with posing, the facial tweaks can be a nuisance. It's much easier to manipulate the limb rigs versus the facial. I think that's largely while it's not messed with.

CitizenErased14 · July 2016

@Jellysimwich I do understand that. It just kind of "takes you out of the scene" in a story when they have all this emotion and expression on their faces in a bunch of screenshots, then are completely stoic, then go back to having emotions again

But I think pose makers know that people like me will use them no matter what because we like how they've posed the sims

Still, it'd be nice to see at least a hint of feeling

As a fellow storyteller, I agree, totally feel where you're coming from. Though, I have not used a single pose yet for my Life Is story, but in due time I will. There's going to be scenes that I won't be able to express by default reactionary expressions.

ra3rei · July 2016

Or like you need someone kneeling on the floor while making a ritual to summon death...err, everyone's had that scene, right?

I remember you posted two sites @OJenn ! I haven't had a chance to take a look at them yet! But I'm excited. So many modeling poses, they flood the market, I fear.

OJenn · July 2016

Hmm I dont see that @CitizenErased14 Example being my favorite post of all time to use with couples

That one is lovely @OJenn ! I must not be looking in the right places!
(And didn't you link us the other day when we were talking about this? I should keep better track...

PS You don't need to re-link! I'll find it later!)

friendsfan367 · July 2016

MadameLee · July 2016

I find that a mixture of actually just using the built in reaction poses that come with the sims and getting creative with the ones that are out there. I guess I just haven't run into any issues finding them? I mean for me story telling in like 90% screenshots, since these pictures tend to tell a thousand words I use what I can. I probably spend more time searching for poses to use that actually writing lol

But we all are telling very different stories so I guess that makes some sense. I personally don't like the faces that sims make normally so the pose faces work for me.

@Meggles - Yep Yep! I linked it. I search high and low for the good ones
