Picked Upload! This is a picked upload! It showcases some of the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.

This hack includes most (if not all) of the base game idle animations and CAS animations. They are sorted first by arm position (sides, hips, crossed), then by weight (shift to center or right), then by personality. Arms Side/Weight to Center/ has the most options.

This should work fine with just the base game but as always I can’t be 100% sure. The object is a painting found under Hobbies/Misc.

Please don't post this anywhere else

Wonderful work Jixs, very helpful.

Thank you so much. I've been looking everywhere for an animation object... most are for all expansions through Open For Business. I don't have a job yet so I'm only up to the base game and University.

Hoping to get (another copy of) Nightlife on Friday though...

Thanks again!

NOTE: Also got the 'Dance Hack'.

Yes! Thanks, I'm so sick of waiting for my sims to get bored.
@Toxication: the Hula hack is very useful, but these animations aren't on it.

This is very sweet! Thanks a million.

Hey fellow simmers, I'm not here at the moment. I've left the simming community for other hobbies in life. Eventually I will be back. Until then, don't expect any of your questions to be answered. Until I come back....

Happy simming!
