Title: Stretch Skeleton Mod? Is this possible? Post by: Dragon Slave on 2010 March 15, 03:42:41 Would it be possible for a mod to stretch a sim's skeleton according to how many days they have left in their life stage? Currently, I'm doing this outside of the game with SimPE in order to mimic gradual aging for toddlers, kids, and teens. It's become a pain in the ass to keep track of and what I would really like to do is create a mod that handles it automatically.
I think I understand how such a mod would be set up. The main thing that's holding me back is that I can't figure out how to change the stretch value from within a bhav. How would I reference it through the operands since the pop-up wizard doesn't list it in the attribute picker? Maybe I've missed it, or is what I want to do even possible? Damn, I'm really green with this stuff. I can't think of any mod or bhav that does anything remotely related to what I want to do, and without something to reference, I feel like I'm poking around in the dark. If I could just figure this part out, I know how to do the rest. Title: Re: Stretch Skeleton Mod? Is this possible? Post by: J. M.

I prefer my method, so I'll continue on as I've been; using simpe outside of the game. About not being desirable - do you mean it would have undesirable side effects? I'm aware of the animation misalignment and that doesn't bother me. Is there anything else?

Pescado on 2010 March 16, 01:22:01 Animation misalignment is one major problem, and the other point of undesirable is simply that I do not want it. In any event, it isn't possible to make such a mod, the TS2 scriptcore engine is not as advanced as the TS3 engine and so the range of things you can do is very limited.

Maybe you could work out something similar to batch process your Sims through SimPE - read the age in days and assign heights accordingly.
