How to make poses for Luumia Height Slider! (Tall Sim)
I promised this tutorial to @aniraklova, so here you go, sunshine! (I also meant this tutorial to pose makers, so they would created more poses for me:D)
You'll need:
+ Base knowledge in making poses for Sims 4 (this isn't a tutorial about how to make poses for Sims 4, so it will be perfect for someone who already created/creates poses for the Sims 4)
+ Base knowledge in Sim Ripper (Again this isn't a tutorial about how to Rip the Sim, but we will use Sims 4 Ripper)
+ Sims 4 Ripper
+ Sims 4 Studio
+ 3 sims. Sim with average height, sim with tall height (Arwin here has the max height) and his double with average height.
1. Rip 3 these sims and import them into Blender where you already prepared 2 rigs for your couple poses.
2. Select b__ROOT_bind__ bone on the average height clone of your tall sim, then scale it and move it up to fit the size of the tall sim.
3. Fit it the best you can (up or down), but DON'T move it back or forward. Yeah, there will be a weird gap (tall version of your sim will be more moved back) that may cause some problems in the future, but... just don't think about it for now.
4. Now you're ready to make poses! NOTE THAT ONLY AVERAGE HEIGHT SIM CAN MOVE AROUND. It's imortant for b__ROOT_bind__ bone of the tall sim stay as it is. You can only rotate it, but once you fit it up into your tall sim, don't move it anymore up or down.
5. Ok. The pose is done!
6. Before you saved it, select b__ROOT_bind__ bone of your tall sim, click Pose, choose Clear Transform, click Location.
7. Now your tall sim will be slightly sinking down to the ground. It's important to let him to!:D
8. Then Select all bones and LocRot it. LOCROT.
9. Now you can save your poses and import it to the game!
Not bad, huh? It's still a tricky little poo, I know. Mb someone knows or will find better way - that would be awesome! But so far it's the only way I know.
It's not necessarily to be one tall sim, you can pick lots of Sims with different height, just remember to move down (or up if they're small) their b__ROOT_bind__ bones once you've done posing.
