Modding Diary - Quick Update (Patreon)

Hi Guys! Hope you all are well! 

I will just be doing a quick update this week as I don't have a lot to show. I spent most of my week experimenting with the active lamaze class, some of you may remember that I ran into an issue last week where I couldn't get couple sims to spawn at the hospital. I was fairly confident it was fixable at the time, and of course it turned out not to be the case 😩I tried all kinds of debugging and still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Before I knew, most of the week has already gone by. I wanted to still have something to show you so I started working on the "Practice Breathing " animation yesterday and today. 

Practice Breathing is an interaction that the pregnant sim can do either alone or with a partner, this interaction will become available once your sim has gone to at least one lamaze class. and it can also be used during labor as a form of pain management. 

This animation is about 30% finished right now :

the partner sim will stand behind the pregnant sim

they will sit on the ground

the partner sim will gently squeez the pregnant sims shoulder and stroke their back as they breath together

and that's all I have for now.

Im going to spend another day looking to the issue again next week, but if I still can't figure it out I will have to look into Plan B, which is to have all NPC lamaze members show up to the class without a partner. if that somehow doesn't work either then the lamaze class will just be a rabbithole, and your sims can practice what they've learned at home. 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 😊
