Tired Pooch

Pets can use my trampoline, too...

I thought I had responded to this thread long ago, but it doesn't seem like I did. Very sorry about that!

Anyway. Sorry for thread necromancy, but I wanted to say that I've actually been inspired to take this up again and think it's almost upload-ready. I've now looked at that other trampoline in game, and I feel that yeah, mine's different enough that I can confidently ward off anybody who says that "OMG you totally stole that idea from Whoever!!"

And, after much hair-pulling, swearing, and smashing my forehead against the keyboard, I actually managed to fix the clipping when Sims sit down.

For the longest time, I thought the clipping was because Sims were snapping into a container slot, and I just couldn't understand why nothing changed when I moved that slot around - but then I realised they were actually snapping into a routing slot, not a container. (Note to self, "snap into" and "snap" aren't the same BHAV.) So, I moved the routing slot forward a bit, and then also moved the stop jumping/sit down animations forward a bit so that the Sims weren't sliding back and forth when transitioning from one anim to another. So now they sit down on the edge as they should, not in the edge. With children, right when they sit down their hands dip into the frame for a second, but I don't think I can fix that so I'm just going to leave it be.

So when I'm finished with the recols, this is going up. I haven't decided where I want to upload it, though; if I upload it to MTS it's just going to be CR'd since it a) clips into it if placed next to a wall and b) is more than 800 polys (1210, to be exact). I honestly don't know if I have the energy to argue with a certain mod (Honeywell and MLC, you know who I mean) that nobody would place a trampoline next to a wall IRL and that you can't find a single base-game living chair with less than 1200 polys and that the Exerto Multi-press has almost 1700 polys/tile. (I also don't like the new uploading system, but I won't go into that here.) So I might just upload it on my blog, and possibly also here.

Wherever you upload it to Nix, it'll be going into my dload folder very quickly Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Whoo! Awesome job fixing the clipping, Nix! This is such a cool item.

* fanseelamb gets in line to download the completed trampoline wherever it's uploaded

Welll, I think you might just get away with it on MTS. Dried frog pills have been handed out and the queue moderator is quite mellow now.

Do you mean not too keen on the feedbacks or the general uploadiness on MTS?

I'm very keen on this trampoline. Yay!

And it's up!


@Karen, Fansee, Kiri - thank you! Go get it.

@Lee, I hear dried frog pills can do wonders for your disposition. OMG, does this mean we can actually upload objects without being CR'd for no other reason than that the queue mod thinks they're cooler than everybody else?!

Yay! Somehow it just bounced into my download folder Thanks Nix
