Hello everyone! I'm trying to convert that cat clock from the Sims 3 Pets, which you can also see at the official Pets trailer , in 0:36. If you look closely enough you will notice that the cat moves its eyes, from left to right. And I was wondering...is there a way to animate the clock to do the same in The Sims 4? I do not know much from animating, but from the little I know I think you must apply a shader? I'm not really sure... If anyone could help me with animating this clock, it would be highly appreciated! ~Thank you so much (This is how the clock looks in Sims 4 Studio) I'm assuming EA made another layer for the pupils in The Sims 3 :P Get the package here --> (Please know it still is incomplete, it doesn't have a bump/spec map or all LODs) *boop*

There is an animated kitty cat clock in the Creator Studio section HERE.
It's fine to take a look at that to see how to do your project.

orangemittens Whoah! I didn't know that This cat clock is amazing! I'll try to see how it works, but am I allowed to clone my cat over this cat clock, just to take a look in game? Wow, this was very helpful, I'll definately credit you! Thank you so so much <3

I'm not sure what you mean by clone your cat over this cat clock. To animate the EA clock you will have to work with the EA mesh because the mesh of our clock is different than that of the EA clock. Looking at the mesh makes me wonder if animating it how our clock was done is the best way to go. You may want to consider animated texture instead of animating the mesh. Take a look at this post HERE showing two of Steven's vids on the topic.

I gave the tutorial a try and well...I did not undestand much however I did what the man did in the tutorial. However...the cat doesn't move its eyes in the slightest...I'm probably doing something wrong. Here's a picture of it in game: It's eyes do not move D: If you'd like to take a look at it, here you are! *beep* EDIT: I took a look at Studio's cat clock, and the way it moves his eyes and tail is via a rig. I wish I knew how to rig an object ;---; Is there any tutorial showing how to do this? Thanks!
