πŸ’œ [BG+] AnimXGenWear: An Animation State mod for nonconforming sims! πŸ”„ 12/3/2024 βœ”οΈ

Think "Sexy Pose determined by Clothing Preference" but with more me! πŸ’œ

Description

──── ⋆⋅βš”οΈπŸ”—πŸš§⋅⋆ ────

THIS REQUIRES TS4: BASE GAME & XML INJECTOR

"AXGW" IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS PASSION PROJECT

 

🚧 AnimXGenWear (AXGW) is a work-in-progress passion project! There are numerous Animation State Machines (ASM) remaining that need to be reconfigured to work with AXGW but the ones currently offered cover the bulk of the animations you will see regularly.

πŸ’œ AXGW changes your gendered animations to match your CLOTHING PREFERENCE. A FEMALE sim with MASCULINE CLOTHING PREFERENCE will use Masculine animations and a MALE sim with FEMININE CLOTHING PREFERENCE will use Feminine animations.

βš™οΈ AXGW works for all sims aged TEEN and up and the 🌠 SWITCH TO [X] CLOTHING PREFERENCE custom interaction found under the ACTIONS Pie Menu works on both ACTIVE/PC and TARGET/NPC sims! The only caveat is that sims might need to stop their current action before AXGW can work the magicks.

βš™οΈ "OPTIONAL_BG_UI_SimBust.package" is a special case. It affects the gendered Flirty "SimBust" that appears on the bottom left of your Live UI. You must delete your localthumbcache.package file to see this change. Your localthumbcache.package file is located in your TS4 USER FOLDER (this is where you find your Mods folder).

 

──── ⋆⋅πŸŽ‰ RELEASE NOTES:

πŸ”„ Compatibility - 11/7/2024 βœ”️

βš”οΈ Requires - TS4: BASE GAME + VARIOUS PACKS

 πŸ”— Requires - XML INJECTOR

🌠 Updated - 11/2/2024 - Game Version + Custom Interaction Update

πŸš€ Initial Release - 8/17/2024

πŸŽ€ Fully compatible with 🀸🏽‍♀️ My Little Animation Overrides.

πŸ₯€ Incompatible with "Sexy Pose determined by Clothing Preference", "Sexy Pose Equality" and any other third-party mod that modifies any of the Animation State Machines I use for AXGW. I can potentially make compatibility patches for anything but you will have to let me know because I don't use that many third-party mods and I have no idea what I'm in conflict with.

πŸ₯€ Incompatible with any third-party mod that modifies the Clothing Preference traits - "trait_GenderOptions_Clothing_WomensWear" and "trait_GenderOptions_Clothing_MensWear".

🌸 Special thanks to Meep62 for "Sexy Pose determined by Clothing Preference" and plasticbox for "Sexy Pose Equality" for laying the foundation. Without these creators and their mods, AXGW would not exist.

βš™οΈ These are .ZIP archives. πŸ—‚οΈ Windows Explorer on Windows and 🎭 Finder on Mac can open/extract them. Place the extracted folder/files into your Mods folder.

 

 

──── ⋆⋅β˜„οΈ UPDATE CHANGELOG:

Update 11/2/2024 includes a temporary custom interaction for easily switching your Clothing Preference trait. It can be found under the "Actions" Pie Menu. This custom interaction is is ripped from my work-in-progress Gender Options Pie Menu and will be removed when that mod is complete. This custom interaction works on BOTH Active/PC sims and Target/NPC sims, meaning YES, you can switch the Clothing Preference trait of any sim aged TEEN or older and switch their gendered animation sets on-the-fly.

A version of this custom interaction can be found in my ongoing BUGFIX for Lovestruck's Costume Box, but that interaction is object-bound and only affects the Active/PC sim.

 

──── ⋆⋅πŸŽ“ HOW TO SWITCH YOUR CLOTHING PREFERENCE TRAIT:

By default, your Clothing Preference matches your "Gender" (Sex) so it must be changed manually to see the effects of this mod.

In CAS, it's as simple as swapping your Clothing Preference in your Gender Details.

In LIVE, you've now got a custom interaction for switching your Clothing Preference on the fly!

1️⃣ CLICK on your sim or the target sim THEN open the Actions Pie Menu AND click on the new interaction named Switch to [X] Clothing Preference. This is a one-click immediate interaction. Your sim will not stop their current action and they will play any animations to signal the change, it just happens. I like this minimalist, immediate approach.

You really don't need any of the following instructions anymore but I'll leave them in.

2️⃣ Press Control + Shift + C to open the console and use the following cheats to swap your traits. These traits are coded to conflict with each other so you've gotta remove one before adding the other:

  • traits.remove_trait GenderOptions_Clothing_WomensWear
  • traits.equip_trait GenderOptions_Clothing_MensWear

OR

  • traits.remove_trait GenderOptions_Clothing_MensWear
  • traits.equip_trait GenderOptions_Clothing_WomensWear

3️⃣ If you've got MC Command Center installed, you can use MC CAS to swap your traits.

  • Click on your sim or another sim and open MC COMMAND CENTER.
  • Navigate to MC CAS » MANAGE TRAITS.
  • FIRST click on REMOVE TRAIT and type in MENSWEAR and click OK - Both "WomensWear" and "MensWear" traits contai- hold up, you could probably shorten this to SWEAR! Yep, SWEAR it is!
  • CLICK on your trait to remove it then click OK on the NO MATCHES FOUND popup.
  • THEN click on ADD TRAIT and search MENSWEAR.
  • NOW click on the trait you want.
  • If you're using the OPTIONAL_BG_UI_SimBust.package, you'll need to SAVE AS... your game then EXIT, then DELETE YOUR LOCALTHUMBCACHE.PACKAGE FILE then relaunch the game to see the change.

My snazzy MCCC GIF is too stronk for CurseForge but you'll find it on my Progress & Discussions post linked above.

 
 

Cheers! Happy Simming!
