I think one of the biggest downsides of allowing emotions interfere and change the style of sims walking is that destroys diversity, because it renders their chosen style from CAS pointless/useless as it wouldn't matter If your sim normally bounces while (s)he gets depressed/sad or (s)he is a Sluggish walker when on daily basis going on a gym makes them energize and... you get the miss. The ability to select a walkstyle is pointless/useless, as emotions change it at daily basis. Or vice versa: Ok, so what are your stances.

I don't quite understand the difference between one and two?

I really don't like the walking styles. lol I 99% of the time all my sims have the normal walk. And I used to have a mod that stopped them from getting those goofy walks when in certain moods, but I've lost it and can't find it. I also have a mod that stops them from doing the pee pee walk when they have to go to the bathroom. I mean, really? Who walks like that, other than kids!

I just wish they would zig-zag and stumble around when dazed.

Thanks. So 1 for me (and me not choosing any of them ;)).

I like it as it is. I think it's cute when they come out of the gym all energetic with a pep in their step, for example. Or how they walk off their chests out after getting someone's number

Plus, I wouldn't want it to be so that if I chose the bouncy walk for a sim, they would still use it when they get sad. My sims get sad over the dumbest things, but I must say that they do portray the sadness quite well, the walk being part of that.

As long as the more ridiculous walks don't get forced on us I don't mind it

I picked one even though I don't really even mess with walkstyles much unless I want to give one of my girls the feminine walk, but @CyrusTheLoser makes a good point. I would hate for my very sad sims to be walking about all peppy :P. It'd be a bit odd.

I disagree as I've never experienced this problem. I would just like more walkstyles. I hate all of the walkstyles on male Sims and I only like the feminine walk on females.

The bladder walk is stupid, though.

The walking styles are too over the top to select them as the default, so my sims always get the normal one. I'd like to be able to select a towned-down version of the various walking styles in CAS for some realistic variety. And maybe the moodlet-triggered walking styles can vary in intensity too.

Your sims don't change their walking style when they get sad or angry?
