No update tonight...

I thought I'd let you know, just in case you decided to check. Things just haven't been working according to my schedule. Now I feel like I'm getting sick again on top of everything else. I've been nearly falling asleep all evening, so I think I'm going to call it an early night. I still hope to get the next chapter finished before the end of the weekend.

For those who haven't seen them yet (and anyone who wants a laugh in general), here are a couple of pics of the new kisses from when I was goofing around with them on the trio's lot.





These took place during my experimentation with the new animation box. It was before I did anything about jealousy, as you can see...






This is "kiss - dance", which is a lot like the smooch during the slow dance. They also do "dance - classic" now. It's cool because they always do a twirl in it, which was pretty rare before, but it's almost exactly the same as the slow dance.

Looks like Johnny's ready to smack someone.






That someone seems to like it. *snicker* I guess any attention is good attention.

Next is the pure silliness of "kiss - suck face". It's pretty funny and awkward, and a bit over the top, so I'm going to let the actors take care of this one...


















"OWWW! Your big stupid nose!"








*snicker* Nice leg.










"Woah - what the hell was that all about?"




Umm... oops. Wouldn't take much, would it? I guess "no instant loves" doesn't really work when you have such a high relationship. Not that it matters... this was just for a laugh, so of course I didn't save it.

It's a funny animation. I need to think of an actual use for it. I'm sure I can think of an appropriate place for an awkward first kiss.

"I'm still disappointed that sims aren't able to lie on the couch with their head in the other sim's lap too. "

That sounds completely adorable, ST! I would be so happy if they could do that- and it has great story advantages to, I could imagine Ripp and Phi just sitting there... Aww!

If I was given the opportunity to sit in on a brainstorming session for additions to this game, I'd never shut up. :P And it's mostly just social interactions I'd like to add. The head in lap thing would be so nice. They could even watch TV at the same time, and it could increase the social gains above just sitting there. I love that they added the "cuddle under the stars" thing, but this is so similar and I want it too! We need MOAR socials where sims touch each other.

I posed Ripp and Phi on the couch like that once before, after his fight with Tank, but it was more like he has his feet tucked into her. I could so see him lying with his head on her lap (and yeah, I think It'd probably be Ripp's head on her lap and not the other way around most of the time). They could even play with the other sim's hair... oh, it would be so nice. :)

I remeber. It was clever, the way you did it, but that animation that you're talking about would be ridiculously cute.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing, with Ripp's head being in her lap, and Phi would play with his hair. It would just be too cute.

Yeah, it would be like he's her pet. :) I can see him scooching his way in there and asking her play with his hair too. Getting to lie around and be touched at the same time is a combination of two of Ripp's favourite things. He'd be blissed out.

Now I'm on a mission to create that somehow with the animation boxes. I wonder if I could get it to work.
