there are two animation styles based on the sim's gender. you can switch between them using my other mod — more info here! you can also set the default ea animation style for individual sims if you prefer that. female pose preview:
male pose preview:
the override applies only if:
the sim is teen to elder;
the sim is eating at a dining, picnic or desk table;
the food is not handheld like ice cream cones or lollipops.
this override is much simpler than the default eating animations, i've only included:
basic eating;
eating spoiled or poor food;
sad mood eating;
and several idle variations.
originally, i wanted to redo way more animations, but i was surprised by how many different eating behaviors exist in the game. i also wanted to keep the special glutton trait eating, but it turned out to be too complex for me to implement. upd. aug 7, 2025: i fixed the fork position in the hand 🍴
i tested this mod thoroughly, but there’s a huge variety of food in the sims, so issues may still appear. please be ready to re-download if updates are needed!
