Create a Pose Pack that works with the Pose by Pack Mod

To be honest, I don't think it's implemented. If it was, the existing animation might get in the way of anything people want to actually create. My original post in this thread was more of a information finding question than anything else. I just wanted to find out if I was doing something wrong. If not then, all is good. Considering the vast amount of new stuff I have learned the past few days, the experience has had it's rewards.

Yes, I understand. I did some testing and yikes! Doing a couple override is not going to be a walk in the park. I wanted to do an override of the make out animations on the couch or bed or wherever. The good news is, all seated make out animations use the same ones. So what works for couch, works for the bed or anything else where you are seated and can make out. The other good news is that the animation for the one person starts at the same position as the one for the other person. That is also the bad news. This means that to get your animations to line up, you would need to first guess at where they would be, do your animations to line up and sync and then move all your key frames back to the start position and hope that after the move, when they are in the game, the characters will still line up when doing the animations.

It's doable but, it's also obvious why they kept the animations simple and I can also see why people have decided to use a pose player to do animations involving more than one person. I'm not really crazy about using a pose player because it takes a teleporter for each sim and getting them to all start at the same time doesn't always work for some reason, resulting in miss synced plays. In any case, I will look at this some more and see if I can think of some way to make this work.

I have some more questions but I think I will post them in a more appropriate topic as this is about poses and pose packs and my questions are about overrides.

LOL, I would have posted them in another thread but as there is no override topic, I guess I will have to ask here.

Can I place more than one override in a package file or do I need to make a package for each one as I have been doing?  I know I probably do need to generate a new clip and header file each time but I was thinking that when I was done, it would be better to import them all into just one package.

Sorry, had a busy week but yes I wasn't sure if you could do more than one override per override package. If I make an override using the ea clip selection in a clip pack package as you are showing, do the override animations still work as overrides or do they only work in a pose player?

Did some testing and if I place my override in a package generated as a clip player then I can only play the over ride with a pose player.  That's not what I want to do.  I wanted several animations in one package that the game would use instead of the original animations in the game.  I will try some more tests, and see if it will work if I add the clips and headers manually into an actual over ride package.

Edited again:  I could not import an additional animation in without issues, the animation and header I tried to import ended up having no data.  I even tried using a different program to edit the package and instead of two different animations playing, only the first animation was recognized.  SO for a true over ride package, you can only have one animation per package even with couple animations.  After much experimentation, I would say that using a pose player will provide much better results as far as the actual animations go.  Doing an override would mean that both animations have to be fairly generic and non gender specific.

After reading a lot of tutorials here and the comments/questions I decided to make a translation of the tutorial here in Dutch purely for personal use (print and checking out while experimenting). In case others (Dutch pose makers) like to have it, I could post it here. Let me state again: It is actually all the work of Orangemittens, whithout her great work for the community no nice poses would have been made. And let's not forget Andrew (former A isn't it?) Huge thanks for you both.

marceladias you must export a blank rig first.

My first pose in Sims 4. But I'm having trouble placing the Simmie in the correct place. I really miss being able to import an object like table or bed in Blender. Perhaps I missed it in the comments on the various tutorials. Now I'm kind of guessing where a table surface would be. Now it will be a lot of trial and error back and forth in Blender, testing in game. 

Another thing I'm missing are the seams in the rig in Blender. You could clearly see if the limbs were twisted. (Especially the fingers)
Any tips would be welcome.
