hi i'm sunberry and today i'm going to show you how i use twisted maxi's mod tool in my machinimas um so this mod made my machinima making process so much easier and i feel like every sims 4 director should know about it i'm not going to go over all the features so you should really check out twisted maxi's um tutorial because it goes over all the features and it's a 20 minute video so it's quite long but i really really recommend it because there are so many features and they're so good for set design and it will really change the way you look at machinima and the way you make them so i'm going to go over a few scenarios where i use the mod and yeah maybe it'll help so this is the first scenario you want to pose your sim on a chair so normally what you would do is you would go into buildbyte mode click on one of these teleporters and put them on a chair [Music] and you select a sim click here teleport her and choose an animation and now you have her yay but you don't ever have to do this it's not you don't have to do this you can just click on a sim shift-click and you'll get this tool option click here toggle active object and now you just click under the chair and click again to rotate the sim you don't have to do this as their face correctly but mine isn't [Music] and now you can click on them again and they're here and now you can make them pose so this is great what if they what if you want to move them back a little bit normally you'd have to just reset the sim um use the new teleporter and guess but no you can again shift click the sim toggle after active object and if you click alt and click on the ground your sim will move towards your button so the closer it is the smaller difference will be and if it's further away your sim will move more so you click a few times and your sim is sitting exactly where you want them to so this is really useful if you have a scene where a few scenes are sitting and now you have to add another sim that is also sitting normally you'd have to reset all of them but now you don't have to do this this mod is also useful if you want to use an animation that is centered differently than other ones by that i mean if you for example want to use flower sims factories animations sitting animations because they are centered on the ground so it'll look like this and if you suddenly want to change a animation of a sim who is sitting and talking to an animation by this creator they will just sink into the ground and you'll have to reset everything or just not use an animation but that's no longer an issue because this mod also allows you to lift the sims up so you have here the elevate button you click here and you can elevate your sim you can use decimals and yeah the sim is lifted up and you can move them out you can move them a bit if you want with the alt to really be centered and yeah it's just as easy as that another situation where this mod is useful is when you're making um a scene where it's a dialogue and you have two sims talking and from the distance it looks fine but when you zoom in you see that they're not actually looking at each other and that's kind of annoying so normally what you'd have to do is yes we already know you have to reset them but as you can guess that is no longer an issue because you can just move them about a bit and rotate them and yeah now they're looking at each other and you can film it and it looks good another situation when you can use this mod is when you want to make your sim do a couple spools outside of the lot so normally it's really hard to make them stand in the same place or i'm not even sure how you do it uh but now you can just place the two teleporters on your lot move your sims to be together and then you shift click on a sim toggle active object and now if you click alt and click on the other sim now they're joined and now when you click on the ground they're gonna move together so you can actually go move them off the lot so if you want them to perform a couple's animation here you can do it or even better normally your sims can't walk on these dolls but if you move your sims here and then alt click on the ocean your sims are gonna move [Music] and suddenly they're standing here you just have to move them up a bit shift click elevate 0.3 yeah good enough for me and now you click them click the other one and they're here and now you can make them pose and you have them posing on the dock and it's really cool and the last instance where you can use this mod that i'm gonna show today is if you want uh the sim to interact with an object that is off lot so for example i want an animation where this girl is hiding behind a tree and i have animations persons are hiding behind trees but um you have to place them inside of a tree and you can't really do that outside of your lot so i'm gonna toggle and move her here and it's really hard because you can't actually move this in here so i'm gonna have to move her i'm gonna move her here i'm gonna rotate her a bit and now i'm gonna open the grid version of moving the sim so if you click here move you're going to get a grid and um the x-axis uh where these x's are this is the positive one and i want to move this in back a bit so i'm going to type minus 1 0. this part is kind of confusing and i still don't really know how to use it um but it's all explained in the twisted maxis tutorial actually i have to actually make her pose um here spies so yeah we have to move her further back um yeah so here i have her pose behind a tree so yeah if i turn on the depth of field and the reshade this is looking just how i'd film it so yeah i hope this tutorial helped you guys um i hope you started using tool because it's really such a good mod and it makes my life 10 times easier if not 100 bye-bye
