Stretching Skeletons

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

When I try to use the cheat stretchSkeleton to make some of the sims a
little taller than the rest, it never stays that way. Even after saving the
game. And if those sims go visiting to another house, they go back to
normal size. Am I doing something wrong or is it just supposed to be this
way?

Mine stayed short so not sure what to tell you
did you use the format 1.1 or 1.10? Not sure if that would make a
difference but it's worth a try.

Oh interesting - sounds like it's a one shot cheat. I mean it only works
for one game session. A few of the cheats are like that - the intprop
censorgridsize cheat is the same.

I have that one in my user cheat file so it works all the time for me.
Can't do that with the stretchSkeleton one, though, when it's just for one
or two sims in a neighborhood. I also noticed that even though I made the
one sim larger by 1.1, it was just enough off to make kissing look weird.
The female iis kissing a neck and the other is kissing the air just above
the female's head.

I used 1.1, but I'll try it the other way when next I fire up the game.
Hubby is home this weekend and I won't be playing on the computer. He
dislikes seeing the back of my head. <g>

Yes - with the cheat in the User Cheat file what it does is basically set up
the cheat for each game session automatically. I've read that you use
stretch skeleton you run into the animation problems you are describing.
That's why Maxis advise only using a small stretch - even your 10% stretch
puts everything out of alignment. If you think about it, you realise why
everyone is the same height in The Sims. Otherwise the animation
programming would be a nightmare.

Did you see my reply that mine works fine? They are still short in my game.
But I used a .75 stretch, a lot more than 10%.
