Auriël's Natural Walkstyles

Walk naturally without exaggerated emotion-based animations!

I created this mod because I find certain emotional walkstyles distracting and unnatural, especially the exaggerated confident walk.

I personally prefer not to express my emotions while walking, so I want the same for my sims.

So I wanted my Sims to walk normally regardless of their emotions while still showing realistic physical reactions to exhaustion, bladder urgency, and other situations.

Features

No Emotional Walkstyles: Removes exaggerated walking animations caused by moods such as Confident, Angry, Sad, Playful, and Energized.

Natural Walking: Sims use their normal walkstyle regardless of their current emotional state.

Physical Reactions Preserved: Tiredness, pregnancy, and other physical or special conditions can still affect movement.

Bladder Urgency Preserved: Sims continue using the original urgent walkstyle when their bladder need becomes low.

Critical Bladder Running: When bladder becomes critical, Sims switch to a running animation instead of continuing the urgent walk.

How It Works

The mod changes the game's walkstyle tuning to prevent emotions from overriding a Sim's normal walking animation.

Physical and situational walkstyles remain available.

When bladder urgency reaches the critical stage, the mod applies a running walkstyle to reflect the increased urgency.

Note: The critical bladder running animation is triggered by the bladder condition itself, not exclusively when travelling to a toilet.
