I thought Awesomemod eliminated the tantrum animations anyways?

Regardless, thank you. The tantrums always tick me off.

Thank you for the credit, glad to be of some inspiration! But all credit goes to TigerM for his hard work in producing the wonderful SmoothJazz which enables us to be able to create these mods!

Great job, glad to see more animation mods appearing. I take it this is the route fail animation where they stomp their feet and wave? I've had several requests to get rid of that other awful route fail animation, the 'foot tapping' one where they screw their faces up and tap their feet impatiently while trying to get past another sim, but numerous rummages through the code have failed to reveal anything that looks to me like it would be that particular animation. I'll keep trying, but if you, or Tiger, can find that one, you're welcome to beat me to it!

That's interesting, I installed awesomemod recently and now that you mention it, I haven't seen the 'tantrum' route fail since then. So this is still a good mod for those who don't use the awesomemod. (It's just a shame awesomemod doesn't get rid of the 'foot tapping' route fail as well!)

I'll try this but I'm thinking it might conflict with indie stone and awesome as they both have that. Though it doesn't get rid of it 100% with those. Thanks

Oh jebus. That animation annoys the HELL out of me. It ALWAYS cancels my action and I have to redo it ;__;

Absolutely happy to give you your due credit!

I _still_ have never tried the awesomemod hehe, so this will totally be a nice single addition for those who also don't use it.

Aye, my next step is to kill the foot tapping animation. I suspect that animation is referred to as 'ping' and 'pong', but haven't disabled those calls yet to see if they are responsible for that action.

And thanks to all for the kind words. I'll keep looking for more things to screw up soon

Okay, I've just killed the Foot Tapping animation and have submitted it to this site.. will be up under "No Foot Tapping While Waiting For Clear Route!" just as soon as the moderators approve it and make it live! Works great

Thank you so much. I do not play the awesome mod (I like to choose what I have and don't have in my game). I am very appreciative of this mod.

EXCELLENT! I'm looking forward to this, as I'm sure thousands of others are too! That's interesting, I did see the references called 'ping' and 'pong' but had no idea what they referred to, never would have guessed they were the foot-tapping animation! Well done!

I think we've all been waiting for something like this. It's bad enough when my sims can't get somewhere. The tantrum that wastes twenty minutes of their 90 day lives is even worse.
