Posing tools

Insanely useful for decorating your sets and also when posing your characters for a particular scene.



SEP (Slot Enable Package)
The Slot Enable Packages is module than enables additional slots in the Maxis counters (residential and commercial counters and islands).

Once installed, you'll be able to place objects in new spots, and in new positions, that previously weren't allowed by the game.

More Decorative Slots for Maxis Furniture - Dressers, Desks, End Tables, Coffee Tables, Vanity and more
This mod adds decorative slots on top of many Maxis furniture, like dressers or vanity tables, as shown in the screenshot.

I haven't tried these yet, but so far I've read amazing things about them. Personally, I want to try them out with a space scene. With the shiftable shelves and the angle options, I want to re-create a gravity zero scene ;).

The set includes:

Invisible Stuff

Combined wth the moveobjects and snapobjectstogrid cheats, these recolors let your sims interact with one object, but with the animations of another. For example, you can pose the sims as if they were making out on a hammock, while in reality they are laying on an invisible couch:



I learned this trick from a very talented storyteller, cindyanne1, so you'd better read her explanation directly from her tutorial (Some photos contain partial Sim nudity and implied sex):

http://cindyanne1.livejournal.com/38950.html

The possibilities of invisible objects are infinite! Here are just a few of them:

Pfish downloads (He/She has made tons of invisible recolors)
http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=22093

In particular:



Pfish's Invisible magisplay tray (A storytelling must have!)
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=181208



Invisible obstacle course
http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=208689



Invisible 4 fountain recolors-visible water for moveobjects on cheat code. (Besides the decoration purpose, you could create a geiser with them)
http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=172000



Invisible comfort objects recolors - bedding, frame, single frame, sofa. The jump in the sofa animation could be used on a decorative tumbling, for example :).

INVISIBLE Sim
http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=75530

And here's my favorite storytelling trick: If you ever wondered how I took this screenshot...


The warlock didn't make the coffee with magic, of course. I actually made an invisible sim with the skin, eyes, clothing and hair from the link above and teleported him to the lot. Then, I made him prepare the coffee while Michael the Warlock casted a random magic spell.

Invisible sims are useful for telekinetic scenes too. And the invisible eyes also let you make really creepy looking sims like this one:

ACTION!

Poseboxes (static poses):
I'm providing a picture of how the box looks in game, because I've found out it's pretty hard to find the one you need among the eight billion ones that clutter your hobbies’ catalog. It doesn't help that the boxes are pretty similar too!

Huge thanks to 6akalaka1 for providing me with the preview pictures I was missing!

http://www.simscave.com/index.php?topic=7191.0

Note from the creator:

1. input cheats "moveObjects on " "boolprop snapObjectstoGrid false"
2. purchase a basketball court (Free time must be installed), select a sim and get him play basketball.
3. before his shooting pause your game, grab that ball and place it in your sim's hand
(adjust the basketball to the same Grid where your sims stand, it will appear automatic in their hands, NO OMSP needed )
