How do Gallery poses (and poses in general) work?

I'm currently trying to test out how to use Gallery poses for sims I upload to my Library/Gallery, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out how they work, yet I see all these Gallery creators making these poses work on theirs and I'm sitting here clueless. How am I supposed to use them? Do I have to have Modded switched on? I thought Gallery poses were not registered as cc? I only put this here bc I thought I had to place the poses in the Mods folder.

  • You definitely must switch the mods on. Make sure you downloaded actual gallery poses and not some pose packs that are used with "andrew's poseplayer" I don't know if you need that mod to make the poses show up on your gallery creation though.

    No, I'm pretty sure the poseplayer isn't needed since Gallery poses are essentially just images of your sim in CAS in the desired pose (though I have dl'd in-game versions of the poses and do need it for that). What bothers me though is that my sims registers as having cc, so what do I need to remove in CAS so that it doesn't? Also, is there any way to change the second pose (the individual sim pose), or do I have to get lucky on getting the right pose for the other one? I can only cycle through the first pose for the household.
  • Update: I was able to remove everything from my Mods folder except the resource.cfg file and my poses, and sims that I upload with custom poses no longer register with cc. Now if only I can freely randomise the second pose too...
  • Hello, I have another question about poses if anyone can answer: I'm getting ready to setup a family group pose that includes a dog in the pose set. Does this mean I need to be able to select the pet in order to make it pose with the rest of the family..? Does that mean I need the Playable Pets Mod now?
  • @paradiseplanet No, you shouldn't need posable pets for your poses. When you click on the teleporter to place your sims, your pet's picture should appear as an option on the selection screen. You do need to make sure that the size of the pet matches the pose, don't try to use a large dog if the pose is for small dogs.
