 Sims no longer dance through walls in the latest Waltz Dance!


-------- (Behind the scenes. Or Download at bottom!) ----------

I've been banging my head on the keyboard for awhile trying to reserve tile space for sims to dance. As usual, I identified yet another suspicious thingamabob to investigate, extracted it from the game and looked at it in blender. This is my screen:

Again? Is this another dead end? Does this mean another month of blind digging? 


And then I saw it. The default reserved space for social interactions.



IS THAT........?

I couldn't celebrate yet. I had to test it. I cloned those dots and tweaked their values, made it it's own file, made an invisible object, redirect the game to recognise it, did the same for dependent files like interaction groups and animation tunings and VIOLA! 


(These are the coordinates I plotted but game made it a square after. 😄)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion/TLDR: For the Waltz Dance, sims will route to an empty 5x6 area and begin in the right positions!


I'll be reworking each animation and steps above for each dance in increments since it's actually a lot of work. As of now, routing and area space recognition is only applied to Waltz. Please have a 5x6 space for it somewhere on your lot. 


What do you think? Do you like this change? Let me know! 🙂


Installation:

  • Delete old versions of Ballroom Dance Mod
  • Remove Waltz and other related dance animation packs.
  • Have Scumbumbo's XML injector in your mods folder!


Choose only ONE flavor! (Romantic / Friendly Version)
