phone call animations override
Added 2024-12-30 17:03:49 +0000 UTCupd. 6/04/2025: now works with the new add-on that lets you change animation type for each sim individually.
this mod replaces the animations for phone calls, adding four new poses, with different ones for each gender.
age groups: teenagers to elders.
included poses:
sitting on dining or desk chairs

sitting on sofas or living chairs

animations on all other surfaces will remain as they are.
all transitions are smooth! you might notice slight clipping at the start or end of the animations, but it shouldn't affect gameplay.
also you should know:
if your sim is pregnant, the animation might not look good with the belly. unfortunately, i don’t know how to fix it in this mod, but i hope it won’t bother you too much.
i did not modify the animation for "video calls".
if you have the "cupid's heart" expansion pack, the "flirt" action on the phone will also use the new poses.
p.s. i made this override as an addition to my previous mod, "extended phone calls", after my sims started calling everyone 24/7, i thought they should do it in a cuter way! :)
please let me know if you encounter any issues. your feedback is incredibly valuable for improving and fine-tuning mods ❤️
Comments
i don’t think this mod could have caused that issue. it’s most likely either a game bug or another phone-related mod. i hope you can figure it out! maybe try testing the interaction without my mod or with no mods at all

2025-05-24 16:50:59 +0000 UTCthank you! it’s something i’ve thought about a lot, and i hope i’ll find a way to implement it 😌
simkatu
2025-05-19 00:15:21 +0000 UTCWould you ever consider being able to choose which animation you would like your sims to use? For example, having a female sim use the male sim animation. It would be really nice to make my masculine females and feminine males to sit in a way that makes sense. If it's too much to do I completely understand! Thank you for even making these overrides in the first place they are very well done!
Kyle
2025-05-15 03:57:46 +0000 UTCyou don’t need the extended phone calls mod for this to work. just to check — was your sim sitting on a chair or couch when using the phone? the custom animation only plays when they’re seated. if they’re standing, the default animation will play instead. also, i'd recommend clearing your game cache — it can sometimes affect how mods show up
simkatu
2025-05-08 21:53:38 +0000 UTCi totally get that — i often wish for more freedom with animations too. sadly, i haven’t figured out a way to make mods more flexible in that regard(
simkatu
2025-05-08 21:37:06 +0000 UTCdo we need to have the extended call mod for it to work. I put it in my game but nothing changed when sim is on the phone hopefully I did it right.

2025-05-03 02:32:15 +0000 UTClove it but i wish i could make my female sims have the male animation and viceversa, i like my sims a little fruity in mannerism

Mon Kri
2025-03-11 13:43:55 +0000 UTCPlease make a mod for additional sleep animations. Because this is sorely lacking. I want the Sims to uncover themselves during sleep. And not to be completely covered with a blanket. In general, they should be interesting and alive. Try it!

2025-03-02 16:50:00 +0000 UTCthank you so much for kind words! ❤️ i've tried making a sitting override before, but unfortunately, modding it properly is really complicated. it would either mean reworking hundreds of animations for every action sims can do while sitting or using advanced tools i’m not familiar with. i’d love to make something like this someday since it would improve the game a lot, but right now, i don’t think i’d be able to do it :(
simkatu
2025-02-26 21:36:00 +0000 UTCit's all good, i completely understand. sorry for the late reply, i haven't been feeling well lately. could you please tell me which angel investor mod you're referring to? i'd like to take a look at the code and see what might be causing the issue. it works fine in my game and doesn’t seem to trigger any errors like that(
simkatu
2025-02-26 21:32:57 +0000 UTCI love your mods! They're 1000 times better than EA's own. Congratulations on the excellent work! ❤️ Here's a suggestion that I think everyone misses: improvements in the way Sims sit. Not everyone sits the same way—for example, women often cross their legs, while men tend to sit more casually with their legs apart. I think it would be great if this kind of detail could be considered. A huge thank you from me! I'll be eagerly waiting for your next releases.

2025-02-23 20:22:43 +0000 UTCHey I really love your overrides and they make my game playable, I have a request I believe you should make a sitting override or more sitting watching tv ones. of course if you don't wanna it fine I was just asking. Thank you for hearing me out.

2025-02-22 13:46:21 +0000 UTCthank you so much for letting me know! i just checked on my end, but unfortunately, i couldn’t reproduce the issue or see any LE. could you send me what the error says? or maybe share more details about the situation — does the reset happen every time a sim makes a call, or only under certain conditions?

simkatu
2025-02-19 14:02:59 +0000 UTCLove this mod the only problem I am facing is that at the end of the call it reset my sims as if I used reset object and last exceptions flags it as an animation error Just tought I would let you know ❤️❤️❤️

2025-02-14 04:54:31 +0000 UTCI just found your amazing work and loved seeing you get the hang of things more with every new animation, like adding smooth transitions, so I was wondering if you're planning to add them to your relaxed sitting override?
