Posepack | Stellar Romance

Published by NotJustaBook on January 20, 2018

Oh my flip flap flappety flipping flip. I did it! I made this whole pack freaking work. I guess there’s a good reason to not do more than like four poses per pack, but this one has ten so that was fun! (It wasn’t fun send help). This time it’s a pack for all you romantic saps out there. It consists of ten poses, consisting of a set of five couple’s poses. There are two poses that let your sims gaze dreamily into each other’s eyes, two kisses, and a big old hug.

The poses come in a .zip file where there are two versions: one with list compatability, one without. There’s also a .txt file in there with the names of the poses and the codes; in case you prefer using these without the list, you can copy-paste those to use the poses in your game. Handy, no?

As always, they snap together. Based on slider use you may see a little clipping – for the kissing ones, the noses clip into cheeks because it was all I could do to make this work. The male skeleton has also been stretched slightly for these to make him taller – I understand if that’s not your cup of tea, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’ve tried to not make it too in-your-face, but it might look funky. In general, this pack is not perfect at all. Other than the clippy noses, there are funky elbows. So many funky elbows.

Female sim has her hand on male’s shoulder and he’s holding her hand

Kissing pose – she still has her hand on his shoulder and he’s holding her hand

Embracey poses – he’s touching her cheek

Kissing pose. She is standing on tippy toes to kiss him and has an arm around his shoulders.

Big old hug. She’s resting her head on his shoulder, and he is holding her tight.

To see these in use, have a look at this chapter of Champion of Moonlight where most (except the last) can be seen. Of course, in those I’ve hidden the flaws as much as I can. Ehehehe… Now, all that’s left to say is thanks as always for your support. Don’t forget to tell me if there’s a problem with these and feel free to show me if you use them. I love seeing my creations out there!

And now, I’d better let my boyfriend get his computer back soon…

Mood: apathetic. 

“When the heir knocks, it’s only polite to answer,” the woman said, smiling mysteriously. “Any enemy of the Council is a friend of ours.”

“My reputation proceeds me,” Q preened.

“Indeed. We were hoping you would come. We’ve been looking to make a trade with you, too.”

Shanna raised an eyebrow as her mentor was so obviously caught on the back foot. He studied her with open curiosity before waving her on.

“You’ve recently had a vision of how you defeat them, haven’t you?”

“Yes,” Q said. “Parts of the plan, anyway.”

Imagine, if you were a Sim, what 6 traits and a life-time wish would you have? Feel free to tag 5-10 (or even more!) fellow simmers to keep this community lively. 

Thank you so much to @notjustabooksims who tagged me (and I’m sooo sorry for being so late!) <3

Bookworm: My sister still remembers the times when I was a kid and would just drift away from her and our cousin during summer and, instead of playing with them, I was holed in my room reading whatever I’d gotten my hands on. I think she’s still getting mad at me about it sometimes, lol! XD

Hopeless romantic: I have to stress that I have never see myself as a romance heroine or whatever, so I never enjoy over the top displays of affection. However, I love reading about them in books and, of course, writing them! It’s totally my jam <3

Heavy sleeper: I once slept through the alarm. And by that I don’t mean the morning alarm, but the burglar alarm. Yeah... My husband was SO impressed (not). At least going off was a mistake and we weren’t getting robbed or anything XD

Good sense of humor: Well, I’m not entirely sure about that. I just know that I love making jokes, and that people around me seem to - at least pretend to - enjoy them, lol!

Loner: Of course, seeing said people just once or twice every month, while the rest of the time I’d be left the heck alone, would be ideal for me, lmao!

Couch potato: Always enjoyed playing video games instead of working out and being active, and always will.

Rules: Tag 20 followers you’d like to get to know better

Lots of you want to know me, eh? Ok! I got tagged by @budgie2budgie​ @therichantsim​ @ladybugsimblr​ @notjustabooksims​

I was born in Queens, grew up in Augusta, GA, and I have now been in the ATL area for a little more than half my life. Dream Trip: I don’t really dream of going to particular destinations. I dream about experiences. My dream trip would include some place beautiful with great weather, amazing food, awesome sights to see, but also enough time to chill and take it all in. Sims Playing Style: Definitely storytelling. Even my “for fun” saves turn into stories, eventually. Also legacy style play. All my Sims end up getting married and having kids at some point.

Posepack | Emotive Talks

Published by NotJustaBook on December 14, 2018

Hi guyssss!

I bring you a gift in the form of a rather boring, but practical posepack. Though saying that, my seated conversation poses were flagged on Tumblr for being inappropriate, so it may well be that this one is also 2 hot 4 Tumblr. Probably not, though. I made this one because I have a whole lot of chapters coming up with a whole lot of talking (emotional talking – see, there’s a theme to this thing). Unfortunately, conversation poses tend to just fall into arguing or neutral/happy kind of conversations, so I made these which display a range of different emotions. I think they’re extremely useful and there’s never been any doubt that I’d share them.

Let’s look at the goods!

Emotive Talks

Most of these are stand-alone poses that can be mixed and matched with these and other conversation poses. If you have the poseplayer add-on, the look at-interaction is great, too:

Number 5 is a couple set. As usual, these will snap together, though it might need adjusting with alt to fit his hand to her arm (depends on bulk/clothing). Also, when I say ‘male’ and ‘female’, I just use it to distinguish the two poses. There’s absolutely no reason that these can’t be used with any gender.

There are two male poses, one is height adjusted (male) and the other isn’t (maleb). As always, with height adjusted poses you can either:

Use a height-slider. I use CMar’s slider. Enzo’s height is set to 200 and Gina’s is set to -130.

Use an OMSP. Simply pop your dude on it and set it to around 13 cm, then snap photos from the waist-up. Unless your dude can fly – be creative, you special rainbow child, you.

One extra lovely thing is that the male one can be matched with other poses in this pack where the arms are at her side (and possibly poses from other packs). Check, for example, how I used it in chapter 20 (also in my featured image).

For this one, I also provide a look at her hands because 1. I like you guys to feel certain that the hands aren’t fucky and I’m trying to hide it. 2. I think the hands look nice and not-fucky:

Walk and Talk

I didn’t originally intend for these to be included in this download, but they’re useful and it’s Christmas, so let’s live a little. These are just two poses for walking and talking together:

They do well with height-adjusted sims (as you can see), but I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be possible to use on non-adjusted sims.

Now then, I think that’s all from me.

What you’ll get

The poses in list and non-list versions

A list with the pose codes and a description of each pose

Preview images with codes

A folder with the clip files (for folks who can edit poses!)

A note on height-adjustment

Christmas cheer!!! You can’t see it, but you can feel it in your heart.

Poselist Image

(Yup, there are many this time, and yup, I regretted that while making it list compatible).

What Can You Do?

Use them in stories, photoshoots, etc. (if you do, I’d love to see pics, so hit me up in the comments or on Tumblr).

Edit them for personal use – no need to ask, though I’d love to see what you do.

Edit them and upload them – but please ask and provide a link back here (don’t upload them without changes – that’s just silly).

Downloads

EDIT: Was just told by Jowita that the note with the codes is called ‘autumn day’ (my previous posepack). I can’t be bothered to reupload, so I’ll just leave them as is – the codes in the file itself are fine and dandy, it’s just the name I messed up on. Sorry about that.
