I'm just wondering if characters will have the same animations and the objects will change. Like dressers, beds, easels, counters. I've never used any height slider mods so curious to know how that would work.
I've been reading about so many topics, perhaps I made up the following: I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the creator of Paralives is looking into a kind of technology that will adjust or create animations on the fly.
I'm not a tech person, by any means, yet I made the same type of suggestion on these forums a while back. TS4 has a rig with bones that are used to create animations. What if certain points of the rig were coded to interact with certain points on an object or on another Sim?
At the time, I think that I referred to it as "docking". No matter the size of the Sim perhaps they can be coded to bend, crouch, or reach up, in order for a certain point on its rig to dock with a certain point on an object, or even on another Sim. For example, if two Sims of disparate sizes are supposed to kiss, the required docking points would be on their lips. The game would calculate how much adjustment needs to be made to a standard animation in order to make those points meet. Animations could be created in advance that would operate on a scale within prescribed limits.
Anyway, as I said, I'm not a tech person. Yet, if something like that could be coded, it would revolutionize the game, making allowances for Sims of various sizes as well as making it possible for the game to have a more gradual growth cycle.
