Adds scripted interactions to the game that make it easier to align sims for poses with either Wonderful Whims' or Andrew's pose player.

This is supposed to (mostly) be a replacement for "Teleport Any Sim" mod, as I found having to use buy mode when trying to pose multiple sims together unintuitive.

Showcase

Installation

In the game’s settings make sure that under "Other" the options of "Enable Custom Content and Mods" and "Script Mods Allowed" are both enabled
Extract the .package and .ts4script files to your Mods folder or a subfolder of the Mods folder.

Note: The .ts4script file can be at most only one subfolder deep, as The Sims 4 doesn’t load script files if they are deeper than that.

Requirements

Either Andrew's Pose Player or Wonderful Whims, as you need a pose player
Some poses. Any should do.

Usage of Interactions - Basics

Once you are in a pose you will have the options to select the following three interactions when clicking on a sim, object or the ground/floor:

- Move to -
Moves the current sim to the location of the target.

- Rotate towards -
Rotates the current sim towards the target.

- Align with -
Copies the target’s location and rotation and applies it to the current sim. This interaction is not available when clicking on the ground.

Usage of Interactions - The Interaction Options

The mod also comes with two options that can be toggled through interactions. If they are enabled they will appear with a light green accent and when disabled with a red one.

- Affect All Posed -
Makes all posed sims execute the same interaction when using move, rotate, align, etc.
It is very useful for posing larger groups or posing with NPC or pets. All interactions that make use of this functionality also show if the option is enabled/disabled by a green/red dot on the pie menu icon as a warning, so it's harder to e.g. accidentally align all sims.

- Auto Snap on Move/Rotate -

Additional executes "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Cardinal Direction" (both mentioned further down below) on using "Move to" and "Snap to Cardinal Direction" on using "Rotate towards". Useful if you want to align a pose along a wall or window or have an object where "Align with" doesn't quite look right and will basically automatically position your sim as if you had used a Teleport Statue from Teleport Any Sim.

Usage of Interactions - Advanced

- Snap to Grid -
Available under the Shift-Click pie menu. This interaction will snap the position of your sim to the closest point of the intersecting lines on the lot's grid.
If your sim is also close to the floor in his original position, he will also be put on the floor again in his new position. As he could be above the floor otherwise, if he is near a slope or similar.

- Snap to Cardinal Direction -
Available under the Shift-Click pie menu. This will snap the rotation of your sim to the closest of the 8 cardinal directions (north, east, south, west + the inbetweens).

After having used both "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Cardinal Direction", your sim should now be in the same position as if you had used a teleport statue. The only exception to this would be if the teleport statue would have had to be either placed off-grid or has a rotation that doesn't face any of the 8 cardinal directions, though I'm unsure if any pose out there even requires that.

- Set NPC Sim as Active Sim for Posing -
Available under the Shift-Click cheat menu when clicking a posed non-household sim.

Once clicked, the move, rotate and align interactions work as if the non-household sim was the sim you are currently controlling. The flag set for this gets reset when using the interaction described next, when changing your active/controlled sim, when the flagged NPC sim gets unloaded or when the flagged NPC sim stops posing.

- Reset Active NPC Sim -
Resets the flag from the “Set NPC Sim as Active Sim for Posing” interaction. So you can move/rotate/align your active/controlled sim again.

- Stop Posing for all Sims -
Available when shift-clicking a posing sim. Cancels all posing interactions currently running and queued up next for all sims.

Troubleshooting Support

Make sure about the following before asking me for troubleshooting support:

The mod's .ts4script file is not more than one subfolder deep in your Mods folder.
- It won't load the mod's script otherwise.
That the mod shows up under both "Custom Content" and "Script Mods" in:
- Main Menu -> Game Options -> Other -> View Custom Content

If both of these are fulfilled and you still have problems then it is preferable to message me on any of my socials instead of commenting on Curseforge, since you very likely won't be notified when I reply to you.
In all cases, please also answer/send me the following in your message:

What game version are you running?
- Just fyi, I can't guarantee anything outside of the latest version working.
What pose player are you using?
- In the case of WW, please also tell me if Patreon or free/public version.
If it's about issues aligning something: What pose set(s) are you trying to use?
- If there are problems with multiple or all then just tell me one or two examples.
Send me LastException file(s), if you get any.
- These can be uploaded to something like Mega.nz, Googledrive or Pastebin if you can't directly send files.
- If you also have a BE or MCCC report, then you can also send them to me, but I do prefer the raw LastException files.
In any case, give me a description of when and/or how the problem occurs. "It just doesn't work. :(" is not going to help either of us
- If you think it could help you can also send images or videos.
