Hack request : Dance Together

[Kyna]

Because kids and teens can dance "the smustle", the "dance together" adds frienship points, and is considerred as a romantic action.

If you look at the moves of the "dance together" - they are quite sexy....

From NL and on, my sims dance only the smustle, and enjoy it a lot.

Edit:  especially the "Elvis Presley" move of the hips.

Gali, I've had my teens 'dance together' with their teen brothers/sisters/cousins post-NL.  This indicates that Maxis don't consider it a romantic interaction, and I don't see why they stopped 'dancing together' with older generations.

Your sims dance only the smustle.  Can you tell me if sims learn the 'bust a move' social and get the dance scholarship from dancing the smustle?  I thought they only acquired dancing skill from 'dance together'

I don't think they get the scholarship from smustle dancing, but it helps tham to learn the dance skill more quickly.  And I've had teens get the scholarship even if they've only ever joined dancing with another teen and not danced together, so they've changed the whole prcedure quite a lot.

ZZ, they get the dancing scholarship when they have enough dancing skill.

So if you are seeing your sims gain dancing skill from the smustle, then with enough smustle dancing they should qualify for the scholarship.  The question is how much of it they need to do.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Well, basically you can tell by having them dance solo whether they are good enough.  Once they can do the more advanced stuff, they get the scholarship - I had one sim phone to try for it, not get it, dance for a few sim minutes, phone again, and they got it.  But smustling definitely helps to speed things up!  If you have them smustle as soon as they become teens, they don't go through the falling over stage!
