Sims 5 should add movement styles.
Not just walking, but how they move through life, affecting most of their interactions.
You could have the following movement styles: Default, slacker, macho, feminine, snob, shy, energetic, stiff.
Now let's go over some interactions and how it affects that.
-Sitting on a couch.
The slacker leans back relaxed, they get comfortable. The stiff sim sits like they have a stick up their butt with their hands neatly on their lap. Macho sim sits a bit more spread out in their seat while the shy sim will prefer sitting on the side of the couch leaning on the armrest. The energetic sim wiggles around, they can't sit still.
-Flirt with another sim.
The macho sim uses more imposing body language and less hand gestures, while the feminine sim uses more hand gestures and feminine postures.
The shy sim does not look at the other person and mumbles a little. The energetic sim moves a lot, they are excited to be there.
-Sleeping.
The macho sim sleeps on their back with their hands behind the back of their head at times, not constantly. The slacker just lays spread out like they are knocked out, possibly with a foot poking out of the bed, looking like they got knocked out. The stiff sim lays perfectly straight on their back. The energetic sim switches positions a lot in their sleep.
-Running.
The feminine sim runs with flapping their hands some like they are drying their nails and a wiggle in their hips, the energetic sim runs like they do it all the time, the macho sim runs like an action hero, the slacker sim runs like they are out of breath, the stiff sim runs like a robot.
-Slap another sim.
The macho sim punches them in the face, the feminine sim slaps hard with a flat hand, the shy sim gives a weak slap, the snob sim slaps like they have deeply been insulted by the other sim.
-Greet a close friend.
The feminine sim squeals happily before hugging their friend, the macho sim gives a firm handshake like in the movie predator, the shy sim hesitates briefly before giving a hug, the stiff sim gives a cordial handshake and appreciative nod, the energetic sim picks their friend up in a hug to twirl them around before putting them down, the snob embraces their friend and gives three kisses close to their cheek without touching.
It's just some examples, and of course more styles could be added like crazy or supernatural specific ones.
Sims could even like or dislike specific movement styles. (sims need to be able to dislike stuff again, seriously.)
