[V3.2.1 Update]

---

For anyone discovering simMotion for the first time: simMotion is a Blender plugin designed to directly analyze animation data from The Sims 4 PACKAGE files, including Wicked Whims animations, without relying on Sims 4 Studio to extract the animation.

A small but important update! I fixed an issue that caused arm positions to become offset in certain animations, and also improved PACKAGE file loading for larger files that previously couldn't be read successfully.

These fixes should make animation importing more stable and accurate.

More updates and improvements are coming!

[V3.2.0 Update]

---

After spending a significant amount of time researching and refining the animation reconstruction pipeline, I've finally reached a major milestone for the simMotion plugin.

The algorithm responsible for applying extracted animation data back onto Blender rigs has been completely reworked. Instead of simply reproducing transformation values, the new system now reconstructs bone motion in a way that much more closely matches how animations are evaluated in-game.

As a result, imported animations now preserve the original poses, limb alignment, and overall motion with dramatically improved accuracy. The difference is especially noticeable in complex animations where small errors previously accumulated into visible offsets.

This has been one of the most technically challenging parts of the project. Recreating the game's animation behavior without access to its internal runtime required countless experiments, comparisons, and revisions to the transformation pipeline. After many iterations, I've finally achieved the closest result yet to the original in-game animations.

While there's still room for optimization and edge-case improvements, this update lays a much stronger foundation for future features and more accurate animation imports.

Thank you to everyone who's been testing the plugin and sharing feedback. Every report has helped push SimMotion closer to becoming a reliable animation tool for the Sims modding community. 💖

I'm excited to share another update for WW Pack! This version introduces one of the most requested workflow improvements: XML Import.

You can now import previously exported XML files directly back into the addon, making it much easier to revisit existing animation packages, update settings, modify actors, props, events, and export everything again without rebuilding the project from scratch. My goal is to make editing animation packages as simple and efficient as possible, especially for creators who frequently iterate on their work.

Over the past few updates, WW Pack has continued to evolve into a more complete animation editing toolkit. There are still many features I'd like to add, and I'm actively working on making the workflow faster, more intuitive, and more powerful for both new and experienced creators.

A huge thank you to everyone who supports WW Pack. Every download, membership, comment, bug report, and suggestion helps shape the future of this addon. Your feedback directly influences what I work on next, and I truly appreciate everyone who's been following its development.

If you have any thoughts about the addon, feature requests, or if you're still considering giving it a try, feel free to leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Just a small update for WW Pack.

This tool has always been focused on improving the Wicked Whims creation workflow and reducing the need to manually edit XML files. The goal is to let creators spend more time working on animations and less time dealing with code.

This update adds a new Wicked Whims Event Panel, making it easier to view and edit event data directly inside Blender.

I'm still continuing to improve the tool little by little, and I always appreciate hearing what creators struggle with during the animation process. Suggestions and feedback are always welcome.

I’ve spent the last few months building Blender tools for Sims 4 creators because I got tired of repeating the same workflow over and over while making CC.

One thing that always frustrated me was manually creating multiple LOD versions and exporting them one by one.

So I built a tool that can automatically generate separate LOD blend files in batch while keeping the original model untouched.

It’s still actively being developed, but it already saves me hours of work.

I’m currently trying to support myself through tool development and Patreon support while continuing to improve the toolkit.

If anyone wants to test it, give feedback, or support the project, here’s the Patreon link:[download]

🔗 Get the plugin 👉Download

Working on a Blender tool aimed at Sims 4 CC creators. It lets you overlay eye and makeup textures directly onto the base texture in under a minute, all inside Blender. The goal is to skip the usual app-switching just to preview the final look.

Hey everyone! 💛

First of all, thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means the world to me and keeps me motivated to push my Sims 4 Blender tools even further!

Today, I'm excited to introduce my latest plugin! 🎉

This tool lets you browse and apply your CC content directly inside Blender — things like eye colors, skin details, makeup, and more — without having to export anything from the game first. This dramatically cuts down on the prep work before rendering, so you can spend more time being creative!

📌 A few things to keep in mind:

Currently, the plugin supports CC that does not include meshes/models

Some basic node knowledge is recommended to get the most out of it

Future updates will focus on better texture and image integration — so stay tuned!

🛠️ How to use it:

In the panel, select the path to your CC folder

Click on the CC effect you want to parse

In your model's Material Node Editor, swap in the generated images

⚠️ Please note: The plugin does NOT include any CC shown in the preview video. Please obtain your CC through legitimate sources only. Thank you so much for understanding!

If you run into any issues or have feedback while using the plugin, please don't hesitate to let me know — your input helps me improve!

Thank you all for your patience and support on these projects. It means everything. 🙏✨

Mouth-Sync Replacement Tool for Blender Cutout Animation

While working on Blender Cutout animations, I created a tool to quickly generate mouth shapes and copy frames to the positions you need. This saves time on character lip-sync animations and works seamlessly within Blender’s workflow.

Compared to costly animation programs, it doesn’t require learning separate, complex software and is better suited for creators looking to complete Cutout animations entirely within Blender. This is just the first version—more features will be added to make the workflow smoother and more flexible.

This tutorial shows how to generate CC4-compatible facial shape keys with a single click using this Blender add-on. No more manually creating dozens of shape keys — the add-on reads your rig's animation frames and automatically builds all required expressions. Perfect for optimizing your CC4 workflow and reducing setup time.
