This mod adds a new romantic interaction: “Cuddle While Watching TV”.
It becomes available when two Sims are sitting next to each other and both are watching television.
Compatible with the base game.
XML Injector is required.
By default, the animation depends on the character’s gender:
– if the character is female, she will be the one cuddling;
– if the character is male, he will be the one cuddling.
The interaction works similarly to the in-game “Cuddle While Watching a Movie” and “Snuggle” interactions, with similar outcomes, autonomy levels, and availability conditions.
Sims’ facial expressions will reflect the emotions they are currently experiencing.
Important note: there is no true eye contact with the TV!
Sims will not constantly look at the screen, so please place the TV in front of the couch if you want the interaction to look more natural.
In the original “Cuddle While Watching a Movie” interaction, eye contact with the TV is achieved mainly through head rotation, and even there it does not always look perfect. However, with such a complex pose where Sims are actually cuddling, I was unable to achieve a high-quality visual result.
The interaction is available when Sims are sitting next to each other on standard couches or benches. Modular couches are not supported. Both Sims must already be watching TV (a channel or a movie).
The interaction can be found in the “Romantic” category.
It lasts approximately 90–120 in-game minutes.
Russian translation: minami (Boosty)
Recommended mod: “Invite to watch TV and movies” by kayladot. It will help you set up a shared TV viewing session for both Sims before using this interaction.
