Lyralei's Pose Addon (Early Release)

It's finally here! 🎉 An successor to Virtual Artisan’s incredible Pose Addon!

VA’s Pose Addon has always been an essential part of my game, but it’s no secret that it had a few quirks and issues. While fixing those, I couldn’t resist adding some exciting new features to take it to the next level!

Requirements :

Why Not Use Virtual Artisan's Pose Box with this mod?

This mod is an update to their original mod! Since it’s no longer available on their website, I decided to fully integrate it into this mod.

What does that mean?

This mod includes VA’s Pose Addon , so you don’t need to download it separately. Just make sure to delete the old version to avoid any glitches or conflicts! 😊

Updates:

28-11-2024:

  1. Danjaley mentioned to me that the Pose Addon came with an issue where Toddlers couldn't pose if they were on the second floor, and babies generally had issues with getting VA's Pose addon to work. Turns out the fix was pretty easy! So Toddlers and Babies can now use Pose List!
  2. Removed "Blend Poses" from "Utils", and they're instead directly under "Lyralei's Pose Addon", so they're much easier accessable (Thanks again for Danjaley for the suggestion!)
  3. Fixed an issue where "Blend Poses" was available when a sim wasn't posing, causing the game to crash.
  4. New Feature When picking a pose from the pose list, you will now only see poses appropiate to that sim's age and/or species! (i.e kittens will only see kitten poses. Toddlers will only see toddler poses, etc.)

⭐ New Features:

Most things that are mine can be found under " Photo Shooting" > " Lyralei's Pose Addon ".

👀 Better Look at

Ever posed a sim to look at something next to them, but they do this weird "eye roll-y" and "nudging slightly to the left" type of look at?

Or maybe you simply wanted to make the eyes look somewhere and not the head?

Let's check it out:

Here we have Morgana, looking normally...

Virtual Artisan's Pose Addon

Lyralei's Pose Addon

Left = Va's Pose addon - Right = Lyralei's Pose Addon.

image

To get started, first pose your Sim as usual! Once they’re in position, simply click " Look At..." to make it work.

_ Massive thanks to @thesweetsimmer111 for helping me on this! _

Look at with just the eyes:

As mentioned, you can also just move certain parts of the body! In this case, the eyes!

image

image

(Left: No Look At, Middle = Looking left, Right = Looking up)

This is done with something called a "Track Mask". When selected, the only parts of the sim will move that fit the chosen trackmask.

For example: Track Mask " EyesOnly " will ONLY animate the eyes!

Blending Poses

Can't find a pose online that fits your needs, but you do have 2 poses that would totally fix that?

Not a problem anymore! With " Pose Blending" you can use a pose " base " and then overlay another pose to create your own dynamic poses!

Here are some examples!

image

On both cases, we have the "base" pose on the left. Then I have chosen to blend it with the pose in the middle, to get this as an end result! :)

How to:

  1. First, pose your sim as you normally would
  2. Go to "Photo shooting..." > "Lyralei's Pose Addon..." > "Utils..." > "Blend" > Choose whichever option you'd like to use! :)
  3. Pick the Track Mask you'd like to apply. If you only want the upperbody to be affected, click that option.
  4. Click/type in the pose you want to blend it with....

And tada!

Sitting/Laying poses:

image

Even that's possible! :) Keep in mind, though: The base pose HAS to sit/lay/etc. Otherwise, your sim will elevate!

Categorised Pose List

Frustrated because every time you want to grab a pose from your list, it takes 3455325352 years for the list to load? Well, wait no more!

image

Completely customizable through XML, you can now sort poses in their own respective categories!

image

Need a sitting pose? no problem! Just go to Lyralei's Pose Addon > Take pose From... > Common List > Sitting, and there you have all your sitting poses! :)

Can I customise this list myself?

Of course! I wrote a How-To here: Click me!

🕰️ Show History

The Add-on remembers your pose history!

Whether you’re a dedicated “Pose by Name” user or prefer the simplicity of “Show by List” , both options now display your pose history for quick reference.

Note: Each Sim has their own individual history list. This means you’ll only see the pose history for Sim X when clicking on them, and not for Sim Y.

What did I fix for Virtual Artisan's Pose Addon?

I've made sure to keep everything as it used to (and if I made a replacement for it, it's now labeled with "LEGACY" at the beginning of the interaction).

But, of course there were some bugs that came with it.

Changelist :

  1. There is now an interaction that uses both look at & reaction simultaneously. (In case you don't want to use my look at interaction).
  2. Fixed an issue where reactions would sometimes or never show on the sim.
  3. Fixed an issue where sims didn't always want to look at the item.
  4. Fixed an issue where certain poses get called twice, making it harder to keep reactions or even look at history data.
  5. Optimised the code here and there.
  6. Most interactions will now continue on posing your sim if you exited out of the interaction, rather than resetting it. (this counts for "Change Expression" and "Look At").

One might think: "Another snow mod?!?!" But this is merely a small upload for the ones who don't have interest in my snow mod (http://modthesims.info/d/634199/snow-but-better-snow-replacement-mod.html) but do want to have

Residential Lots
Cosmic Harmony - 1 br, 1 ba + CC
by Lyralei

The lot itself was actually meant for those sims who rather spend their spare time outside, sitting in their garden admiring the view of their cute little garden! It would make a great little witch hut as well as the lot has lots of plants and flowers which will keep your witch sims happy for a veeeery long time

Hairs

A hairstyle for simmies who want to go back to the good old days, or maybe just wanting to rock those bangs! This hairstyle is perfect for whoever loves bangs

This entire conversion took me about 2-3 months! So just keep in mind, before storming my inbox to make more stuff, Yes. I am done!

~Snowglobes~
by Lyralei

I’m one of those people who could literally watch a snowglobe for hourssss. Soooo that’s the main reason why I made some more snowglobes! I did used the Mortimer and Bella snowglobe as a base though…(And tweaked some stuff so the glass looks kinda different compared to the Mort and Bella one)
