Frustration?

[trvrmn]

Does anyone know the animation name where the sim gets frustrated or angry?

[WesHowe]

Did you know that there is a cheat that prints the names of animations on the screen that you could use to figure this out yourself?

[trvrmn]

no I have never heard of this cheat(hence this post), so instead of posting dumb questions you could post the name of the cheat or the animation couldn't you?

Wow! I didn´t know that. It would be very helpfull!

boolprop displayanimbillboard <on|off> [object name]

If you open up the cheat console and type "help" you'll get a long list of quite handy cheats, the above included.

In retrospect, I should have passed the information, instead of being so snippy.

My recollection is that I could not make this work without the "object name" part being present. Using "all" works, but is confusing if you have more than one sim involved. I believe you can use the sim first name for the parameter.

And you would not want to leave this on, regardless of how good your computer is, because it leaves everything behind the screen part when the anim billboard is displayed obscured.

But, if you are making objects or other such work, and want to see if the some particular animation is actually used, then this is the way. If you see some animation played, and there is no effect on your object, then you know it is broken.

the help cheat!? Really, you must think I'm an idiot, of course I know about the help cheat!

Anyways, I am really looking for the name of the cheat and where to find it in SimPE, not in the game.

Please read the posts more carefully trvrmn, there's no need to get snippy with the people who are answering your questions.

The first line of my post was the cheat you needed:
boolprop displayanimbillboard <on|off> [object name]

It is a *cheat*, you don't find it in SimPE. It is in the game. Like most cheats are.

I mentioned the help cheat because if you used it and looked through its output, then you would have seen the details of how to use the animbillboard.

Really, you must think I'm an idiot


Yeah, your words.
If you read the posts, you will see how to find that name. If you know the name, then you can find it in Sims00.package with SimPE.
I don't think there is a long line of people waiting to wade through game screens, trying to guess if that is the one mr. trvrmn meant. Do your own homework.

Trvrmn:the help cheat!? Really, you must think I'm an idiot, of course I know about the help cheat!

I wasn't being snippy it was a joke, but I understand why u would have thought that because of the last post. And though I said simPe cheat, I didn't actually mean a cheat. I meant the animation. Thought you would have realized that.

wes:"If you know the name, then you can find it in Sims00.package with SimPE."

Thank u for answering my question.

I am sorry, I missed the humor. Jokes can be dumb sounding, since we have no visual or voice cues to give the context. Except this :) which often gets overused.

So I will apologize for making as if I believed you were less than the brightest light in the hallway.

I am glad we finally got you the answer you needed. There are far too many animations to guess at something like that, and many have similar words in their title.

Oh, if you have expansion packs, and the animation is from them, you will need to look in the Sims00.package file in the directories for the EPs, too.
