@Lyralei Ok so I extracted 4 animations and uploading it here. The animations are for when we select witch in the supernatural button and they flick the wand a little. EA made these animations for both adults and children. They look very similar to me in grid view. I was thinking maybe this will help you understand how the wands work. And then you can explain to me what you understood
BTW do you or anybody know where the Jazz script for the cas idles are? if they exist and what about the C# script for it. I'll see if I can find them but if anybody knows where those are that would be great

and I have noticed something, my animations have a 0x00000 while the ones EA uses are 0x70000 for the magic animations. Also when I imported the adult animations with TS3 animator they all had something like a2o_magicWand_skillHigh_selfCast.ma as source file, while mine simply have c2c_magicWand_castSpell_lowSkill_start_x.blend. I feel like the missing a2o is causing problems and the 0x70000. I checked the 'No Stretch' children can series with TS3 animator and Kapaer's animations did have the 0x70000 in it and he even had a2o_alchemyStation_startStop.ma as the source file in one of his converted animations.

So I feel like I have deduced the problem. I don't think wand rig is the problem. Because the wand adjusts itself when the child uses it in CAS right. And I don't think there is any limitation on the wand to make it unusable to children because when the child uses stretch animation the wand appears. What do you guys think? You think I'm on the right track with this?

Now say even if I am right about this, how do I fix this? I know it's possible since Kapaer did it. I just have to figure out how I can do it. Any ideas on how to change that? TS3 animator has been kinda glitch and simply renaming 0x0000 to 0x70000 in S3PE refused to play the animation

@skydome the 0x70000 is actually there for a reason. You know how the script sometimes refers to 'oh use this content when this game is installed' right? 0x70000 (as long as it's a group IIRC, Or... at least the third row, can't check it right now) In s3pe, it basically means 'supernatural'. It's the game's way of organising. So of course if you were to change it into 0x00000 it would be base game. That's why base game compatible downloads were so popular back in the days I have no idea why S3PE wouldn't play though if you changed it?

Regarding the checking the wands out, I'll do that over the weekends, life's keeping me really busy! So... hopefully I'll get the change to look over it! Think I will but just so you know

It's kind of a long story I'll make a new post about problems with jazz scripts and smooth jazz and how to overcome it. It'll be like a tutorial that would explain it. I didn't have to do any rig editing at all. The wand adjusts itself, the problem was with the jazz scripts themselves and how smooth jazz handles it. The solution was actually super easy but there was a lot of trial and error and research to be done to get there.

I think that you just inspired to make new interactions and animations for the children. I have always wanted to add new interactions for the mean and evil children so it would add more action and drama to the game because I still don't like how they could only argue,scare,accuse someone of being a diva or fight in this game and congrats for successfully converting the adult animations and making them work on children without all that freaky stretching. Do you think that it's possible to do for the toddlers or would you just have to make new animations for them?

Oh cool. I'll download that mod. What kind of animations were you thinking about converting? Toddlers, I think they'll work the same way. But they may feel a bit unrealistic. Since the adults appear to talk and perform gestures that will look a bit odd for toddlers. But I think that depends on the animation itself.

Keep in mind that i'm still a beginner and I still don't understand how programming works or what it means but it's something that i'm still interested in learning how to do. About what animations that I plan on using I probably have to make new ones because the game doesn't have that many adult animations for me to try and convert them.

"Congratulations!" seems like an understatement.

I will when I feel like creating it. Do you have any animations and interactions that you want in the mod? I made a couple of animations before but they were for Sims 2 and I couldn't get the game to play them

Ok I'm uploading some animations that have to be converted. Sofmc9 offered to help me with conversion so that's why I'm uploading these.

Instructions for converting.
1)You already know how to convert. Simply put the converted animations in a separate folder when you upload them.
2)There are 10 animations here, you don't have to convert them all. Only as much as you feel like.
3)There's no rush. Take your time

Thanks again for your help.

Hi everyone,
I have some bad news. I have a pretty bad eye infection which will take like a week to 10 days to get better. I'm avoiding screens till then, but most of the work for the mod is done already so if I get better soon enough the mod will be releasable by March.
