I was very excited to see the new interaction for sitting beneath a tree but the zois look very uncomfortable when doing so. It’s not just when sitting beneath the trees. Even on a couch or armchair. They never look comfortable or relaxed, even when ‘sitting and relaxing’ or ‘sitting and dozing’.
I love seeing some of the small moments in life sim games and so I find these animations particularly disappointing.
The posture is too rigid. The zois should be leaning back.
Zois shouldn’t sit at the edge of the couch, they should be sitting further back.
When sitting beneath the tree, zois shouldn’t have their hands on the ground, as it adds to the impression that they are stiff and uncomfortable.
Fully agree with you! This should be improved. Currently the action they are supposedly doing does not match to how it looks and feels when you see it.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Having them sit up so straight while watching tv is so stiff, I rarely let them do it because it’s so unnatural looking
Most likely, the only animation used is for sitting. Judging by the animation, it was made for a chair. And then they just multiplied it to all the other items - as a plug. This is a hack job. However, there was about the same problem in The Sims series of games. I’ve seen where it worked well - it’s Der Planer 3, although it’s not a game about anything else. I don’t think it will be fixed in the next couple of months, as the developers have a plan to release new content. What for? I don’t know.
That Zoi has better posture than any of us, their spine is a perfect 90-degree angle
