Let's Talk About Posing

A Sims 4 posing tutorial

Providing a written tutorial with images to help you learn basic posing in The Sims 4 and also various mods and tricks you can use to help your posing experience. I know there are more tricks on this out in the wild, so I don't dare call it a complete tutorial. It will, however, get you started.

Updated: August 2024

Mods I'm going to talk about:

Andrew's Pose Player and Scumbumbos Teleport Any Sim

MC Command Center 

TwistedMexi's T.O.O.L.

TwistedMexi’s Searchable Pose Player

Lot 51's Fashion Authority 

Wicked Whims or Wonderful Whims

This is a long tutorial, but it should help you with using all of the above mentioned mods to have a better posing experience in The Sims 4.

Read More--

Where to start:

Download the above mentioned mods. Place them in your mods folder. Need a tutorial? Here you go.

Download some poses! There are several resources out there. On Tumblr, I use @ts4-poses​ often.

Open your game

Congratulations! You're on the way to posing sims. The basics are very easy using Andrew's Pose Player. You can pose your sim at anytime by clicking on the sim pie menu and finding the options of “Pose by Pack” or “Pose by Name.” Personally, I don't have the brain space to remember pose names, so I always pose by pack. This will bring up an options list of poses. If you have a lot of poses, this will be a long list. If you don't have a lot of poses, obviously it will be a shorter list. Click the pose set you want and then click the pose or poses you want to have your sim complete. Yes, you can queue multiple!

TwistedMexi’s Searchable Pose Player

If you have downloaded and have multiple poses, I recommend using TMex’s Searchable Pose Player Mod. This will add a search bar to your pose option tab that you can use to search for poses instead of always having to scroll for them. This mod works well with both Andrew’s Pose Player and both WW pose players!

A List of All IN GAME Animations Names

@stargazer-sims​ made a very helpful post that let Simblr know there is a list of the animation names that can be used with Andrew’s Pose Player “Pose by Name.” Copy the animation name of the pose you want from the list and paste it into pose player. From the post: “This list was compiled by ThePancake1 and is current up to the For Rent EP.” Direct Link to the List of Animation Names

*For this tutorial, I am using poses created by @honeyssims4​.

Now, how do you stop posing? If its the sim you are controlling, just cancel the task in their queue. You can also pose sims that you can't control and are not in your household – which is pretty neat! To have them stop using the current pose in their action queue, click on the sim and from their menu, select “Stop Posing.” If you have more than one pose queued, both of these options will cause the sims to take up the next pose. If there are no other poses selected, they will stop posing all together. Sims have NO AUTONOMY while posed. They will be stuck there until you stop them.

Posing is great, but how about posing sims in a specific spot, or seated on furniture, or WITH other sims? Now you want to use the Teleport Any Sim statue. You will find this handy tool in build/buy mode located under decorations. My trick here is that if you type “teleport” into the search bar and click, it will bring up the teleporter as your first option. Save yourself some time searching the catalog, I say. Once the Teleport Any Sim statue is placed, you can click on it to have a menu with two options: Teleport Sim or Summon Sim. Teleport Sim brings up a menu of sims ON THE LOT. Summon Sim brings up a menu of sim IN THE SAVE FILE. The list size is a big difference.

Many poses will have some instructions when you download them on how to place the Teleport Any Sim statue. If you are posing two or more sims using a pose designed for multiple sims, you want to place multiple statues on top of each other in the same location. If you are posing a sim on furniture – like a couch, place the statue in the center of the furniture (unless otherwise instructed.) When the pose creators created the pose, they designed it with other sims and/or furniture in mind and planned on you having that statue in that location for the expected results.

I recommend having your game paused when teleporting or summoning sims to your statues, as live mode sims not paused will walk away in moments. Once the sim has taken the place of the statue, click on the sim and bring up the posing menu just as you did before to select the pose you want. If multiple sims are involved, you need to go to each sim and select the pose from the menu for each of them. No, the pose menu using the statue does not remember what pose group you were using. Yes, you need to scroll for it every time. Once the sim or sims are posed, then you can take your game off of pause and let your sims enter the selected poses.

Things to know while using the poses with Andrew's Pose Player; if you enter Create-a-Sim (CAS) while posed, your sims snap out of their pose. If you enter Build Buy mode, your sim will snap out of their pose. If you placed your statue in the wrong location and you need to place it somewhere else to pose, you'll have to enter build buy mode to do it and your sim will, again, snap out of their pose. Finally, some poses require accessories be used – usually located under rings, bracelets, or hats that you can add to your sim in CAS. You need to remember to add these things BEFORE you pose your sim.

This is where we start talking about other mods, to help you with the above concerns. Andrew's Pose Player and Teleport Any Sim Statue are amazing devices, but we can improve on the posing game with a little help.

*Note: Sometimes you need to allow a few in game minutes after loading into a lot before you begin posing to allow sims to finish their idle animations. Infants and horses, for example, need to finish their idle animations before they will take up a pose.

-----------------------

If you posed a sim and they were in the wrong outfit, how can you fix that without leaving the pose?

A very simple solution is to use MC Command Center. Click on MC Command center from your sim menu, scroll down to “Dresser.” From there click on “Change Outfit.” You can select any of the outfits your sim all ready has made and they will instantly change into that outfit without leaving the pose. If they are summoned in their swimwear and you wanted everyday, this is the easy way to fix the problem.

-----------------------

If you've posed a sim in the wrong spot or you want to combine poses with multiple sims and move them to the right spot, how do you do that?

This trick specifically works if you have teleported or summoned a sim using the Teleport Any Sim Statue. The statue is important as for the briefest of moments it makes your game register a sim as an object. Why is that important? Because I'm about to tell you that TwistedMexi's T.O.O.L. Mod can be used to move sims that have been summoned/teleported/posed using the Teleport Any Sim statue. *Sometimes you can use TOOL on a posed sim who hasn’t used the statue, sometimes you can’t. The statue is your safe bet.

I know T.O.O.L. can be a very intimidating mod, but I promise its easier than it looks with practice. TwistedMexi has made a few very good tutorials on the full use, Fantasims has made a great tutorial too. I'm going to try and give you a quick one just for moving your posed sims.

In this case, I have a sim posed, but I didn't line her up with the chair she's supposed to be sitting on. Lets fix that. Have the T.O.O.L. Mod installed, of course. Have testing cheats on. Now, press the shift button and then click on your sims menu. Click through the options until you find “T.O.O.L.” Click on that. The TOOL menu will give you five options. All of them can be super useful for moving posed sims, but I'm going for simple here. Click on “Toggle Active Object.” Did your sim turn green? Good, that's what we want, that shows that TOOL has her marked as the thing we want to move.

To move the sim once they are the active object, hold down the Alt key and click on the floor in whichever direction you need to move your sim. In this case, she needed to go to her left, so I clicked on the floor and gently pulled her into the desired position. Once she is in position, click the sim again to make her no longer green and no longer the active object.

Things to know about using TOOL. Once your sim (the object) is active, you can click the floor anywhere and instantly move them. Holding down the Alt key drags them with precision. If you accidentally clicked the floor somewhere without holding Alt, your sim jumped further than you intended. Or maybe that's exactly what you wanted to do. If you click another object while your sim is green and active, TOOL will think you wanted that object to be active instead and turn it green. Be careful not to click other objects while dragging your sim around, just the floor or the ground. You can make multiple objects active by holding down the Alt key and clicking on them (or other sims) and you can then  drag those objects or sims together as a unit. This is how you can take them off the lot to pose next to a waterfall in Sulani if you wanted to. You can use TOOL to rotate sims and move them up or down if you want. I really recommend watching tutorials on TOOL, its a game changing mod.

----------------------

I've posed a sim and I forgot to add the pose accessory! Can you add the accessory after being posed?

With the help of Lot 51's Fashion Authority mod, you can. Sort of. This mod is so much bigger than an accessory adder, but we'll stick to that part in this tutorial.

@surely-sims has made an excellent video tutorial on this very trick. I learned this from her and I'm only able to share this knowledge because she did first.

The first thing I need to tell you is that, unfortunately, you still need to plan ahead. You can use the Fashion Authority mod to make an “outfit” that is just the pose accessory you need that does NOT override any other part of what your sim is currently wearing. You still need to make this outfit before posing the sim as you do still need to go into CAS – which yes, still pops your sim out of the pose. However, you can create and save MANY outfits, one for each accessory if you need, that you can then apply to any sims you have posed in the future – even if they are not in your household.

The accessory will not be a permanent part of the sims' outfit either. Once you change out of that outfit and back into it, you will not have the accessory attached. This part is brilliant!

Before you plan to use accessories on your sims with Fashion Authority, you need to go to Fashion Authority → Settings → Enable Outfit Merge Mode (For Advanced Users). This will allow you to use your accessory without having your sims' outfit change while being used. Please note, you need to enable this with each game play session.

You will need to create an accessory thread BEFORE you pose your sim. Click on the sim menu and click on the Fashion Authority tab. Then click “Create a Thread.” The next menus will ask you if it is masc or fem, age group. For pose accessories, I make them Generic Uniforms. You then get a whole menu dedicated to this new thread. I start by naming it so I know what it is when I have to scroll for it later. This one will be for a shark accessory. I then change the Outfit Merging Rules – anything highlighted in green will be forced to change when you select this outfit using Fashion Authority. In this case, my shark accessory is a bracelet, so I'm only highlighting bracelets green. I want the rest of the outfit to stay the same, we're just forcing the shark in there. Now you modify in CAS. Add the accessory and only the accessory to the mannequin that shows up in the CAS prompt. Click the check mark. You've made your accessory thread/outfit.

Now you can pose your sim. Or you can add the thread first – its up to you. Once posed, click your sim menu, click Fashion Authority. From the Fashion Authority menu, click “Manage All Threads.” Choose the thread you just made with your accessory. There you are, one posed sim with a shark in hand!

I have several threads pre-made with pose accessories and labeled so I know what they are. I can pose on the fly with whichever sims I want this way and not worry about how I'm going to get that accessory on them. The easy way to remove the pose accessory is to go through MC Command Center → Dresser → Change Outfit and select the outfit you want, even if its the on your sim is currently wearing. Click this, and the accessory will be gone – no CAS time required. Changing outfit via an in game dresser will do the same thing.

Things to know: Fashion Authority allows you to create threads for toddlers, children, and Teen-Elders.

Fashion Authority Threads are created by SAVE GAME. You can, however, now import them into your other saves so you don't need to make your accessory threads over and over again in each save. Import threads to new saves by Going through Options → Import Threads

If you enter your save game without the pose accessories installed in your mods folder, all of your Threads will be blank if you save that game – even if you load your accessories back in later. Be careful!

--------------------------

Are there other options to pose sims, or is it just Andrew's pose player?

Well, there is another option, though it comes form an unexpected source. It comes in WW. Either one. Both Wicked Whims (The R rated mod) and it's counterpart, Wonderful Whims, have a built in posing functionality that is both easy and intuitive. You will still need to have Pose Player installed – children, toddlers, infants, and pets cannot be posed using the WW posing ability. You need both.

In either of the WW mods, you are absolutely able to go through and disable every function in them if all you want is the pose player. Please keep that in mind if you don't want the additional modded game play those mods are both designed for!

There is a video tutorial up now on using Wicked Whims Pose player made by GiaXoXo2405 that is very helpful. KatVerse has a great video tutorial for posing in Wonderful Whims.

How to use WW as a posing tool. Click on your sim pie menu, click on Wonderful or Wicked. The Wonderful and Wicked menus have a tab called “pose.” Click it and select the pose you want from the poses you have installed. This posing method makes your sim vanish for a moment, don't worry, she's still there! Once the sim phases back into existence, she's posed. 

Now, you wanted her moved somewhere else? Maybe a little left or right? You can fix that right in Wicked Whims. Click on your sim, click Wicked, and then in the Wicked menu, click “Actions.” In Actions, click “Enable Positioning.” This will bring up a very intuitive positioning system that lets you move your sim, rotate your sim, even elevate your sim if you need to. Its super cool. When you sim is positioned as you'd like, Click the purple dot menu and then click “Disable Positioning.”

An extra bonus form posing sims in WW is that if you go into Build Buy mode, they will remain posed as you left them when you go back into live mode. CAS mode will still make them leave their pose though.

*Note: The positioning UI will stay where your sim originally began their pose. If you want to move your sim WAY across the map using this UI, @surely-sims​ has pointed out that you can use the TOOL mod on the purple dot of this positioning UI and move the UI itself across the map too. Neat trick!

Wicked Whims Specific Notes:

If you would like to use Wicked Whims and still have access to Fashion Authority or MCCC while posed, you need to click the following: Wicked → Settings → Sex Settings → Other Settings → Vanilla Interactions Switch.

Wicked Whims also has a built in functionality that can act like the MCCC Dresser trick I mentioned above. This is called “Instant Undress.” To enable this outside of sexual acts, you need to click the following: Wicked → Settings → Sex Settings → Cheats → Global Instant Undressing Switch. After activating this, you can click Actions under the Wicked Menu, Instant Undress, and have the option to remove accessories, change outfits and so on.

If you have access to and are using the PATREON release of Wicked Whims, there is a camera mode you can use to take candid images of sims with full control of the camera location and no camera needed. This comes with the SimHub functionality that appears to be only for Patrons at this time. You can have a sim take posed photos of themselves by clicking “Naked Photo (Posed)” – these will be the in game poses that you can sort through. If you would like to take photos of your sim in custom poses, you need to click “Naked Photo.”

To unlock the ability to take photos of sims who are dressed (not just nudes), you need to click the following: Wicked → Nudity Settings → SimHub Settings → Non-Naked Pictures Switch AND Unlock Camera Movement (Experimental) .

Many thanks to @surely-sims​ for telling me about these neat Wicked Whims features!

Any Other Useful Tips?

Screenshot Tricks and Composition Workshop. This is a frankly amazing Sims 4 “edutainment” stream-made-video made by the even more amazing @surely-sims​. This video covers how to pose, a number of posing tips and tricks, and how to make a screenshot tell a story all by itself. Friends, if you want a more in depth idea of how to pose and make lovely screenshots, watch this video. Really. Seriously. GO DO IT! She taught me even MORE things! The Video: Screenshot Tricks and Composition Workshop

Camera Position Hot Keys and Tab Mode. Did you know you can set a hot key to save a camera position? If you need to go in and out of Tab mode while posing and you want that camera angle to remain the same, you should try saving the camera position. Its useful for all kinds of screenshot tips.  @surely-sims​ spends quite a bit of time talking about this and various uses in the above video if you need ideas or demonstration. @pictureamoebae​ wrote a lovely tutorial about tab mode and camera position hot keys to get you started.

Organizing Poses. Poses always seem to show up in the most random order in the posing list. Did you know you can organize them? Using Sims 4 Studio, you can open each pose package and change the name of the pose – that name section inside the package? The poses in your game show up alphabetically based on that. This only works for in-game poses, not CAS poses! This player has made an awesome tutorial on how to organize your poses.

Clickable Worlds. If you enjoy using the T.O.O.L. Mod to move sims into wild photo opportunity places, awingedllama has created a mod that allows you to click anywhere in the environment around you. You could combine this with T.O.O.L. mod tricks to move your sims to all kinds of places for photo shoots. Clickable Worlds

Special Effects. This one is a silly note, but maybe not well known. If you own Get Famous, there is a fun special effects machine that allows you to have everything from confetti, fall leaves, money, all the way to  meatballs falling from the ceiling. Its a fun addition you can use for your own sims photo shoots. To do this, you need the ceiling part called “Plumbob Pictures Home Special Effects Machine.” The controller is called, “Effectively Effective Stage Effects Control Desk.”

Another option to get easy modded access to special effects is to use Ravasheen’s Side FX - Visual Effects Player.

The ISO Love Photos Camera. You DO NOT NEED a sim to be a photographer to use this camera. Meaning, the sim you have posed? They can take the picture of themselves. I set this camera up on a tripod and use it all the time. It does not need to be on a tripod, but keep in mind it will take photos at whatever height its is sitting. If its on the floor, you get floor shots. If its on the coffee table, you get coffee table height pictures.

The Photographic Memory Photo Spawner Mod. You can make those nice in game photos you just took into pictures you can hang with tape or tacks, calendars, paintings, even cross stitch images! This mod is super fun for game play images and having you sim family spread all over the walls of your house.

-----------------------------------

That covers everything I know at the moment. I would love to read if you guys have additional tips and tricks. Please feel free to reblog this if you think others could benefit from this tutorial. I hope YOU benefit from this tutorial!

This horn was never intended to be a unicorn horn, as Silvermoon sims made it as part of a Sailor Moon outfit. Have you checked out their Sailor Moon stuff? It’s awesome. Anyway, I am a silly unicorn fan and desperate for new unicorn horns, so I claimed this one as a unicorn horn too. Once again, I made an edited mesh version to move it down the forehead and add a few more color swatches to it.

The Big List of Skeleton Mods for the Sims 4

Skeletons! Introduced to us in the Jungle Adventure game pack, these bony buddies have been silently roaming our games since. Sort of. You know, when you are in those jungle temples or when you cast “Skeleton Blessing” using one of those nifty relics you can build.

It turns out that modders have been having lots of fun with skeletons since their release. If you want more from your Sims 4 skeletons than a spooky tomb buddy, a 12 hour buff, or a little flirt with Bonehilda, you should see what modders in the community have done to add a little sparkle to these tibias and fibulas.

*With any and all mods that you choose to download, make sure you read the instructions given by the creator and the warning about what files may conflict!

Find yourself some skeletal mods under the read more.

_____________

How to become a Skeleton In Game

The way to get the Skeleton Blessing buff in game is to use the Balampalsoh Death Relic you can discover and build in Jungle adventure game play. Or, you can cheat the buff on which is add_buff Buff_Skeleton . This buff lasts 12 hours on its own.

Magic

I love Spellcasters and I love adding modded spells to them. Guess what? Skeletonize is a Spellcaster mod you can download! You need the spell and you also need the Spellbook Injector mod to use custom spells.

Outfits

This one is easy, this modder simply unlocked the skeletons as costumes that you can apply in CAS.

Permanent Skeleton Buff

I need to pop this in my game and see if I can play with it myself, but the description has it that the length of time your skeleton buff lasts depends on which relic you use to cast the buff in the first place. There is no cure for the permanent buff. Bonus mod here that makes all your skeletons spawn as the white ones! -- This hasn’t been updated since 2018, it may or may not work.

Bonus Mods

How about one that uses the hidden skeleton buff trait to actually make a skeleton bloodline? Its so silly and yet so fabulous that of course a lovely modder made that exist.

Skeleton Bloodlines by: baniduhaine

And Icemumun came through unexpectedly with a small JA tweaks mod that includes an easy way to humanize your skeleton sims when the Skeleton Blessing buff is just lasting too long for your game play. You can direct click on the sim to remove the state, or, for fun, you can go and pray at the Selvadorada town square for Humanization.

Jungle Adventure Mods by: Icemunmun

Last but NOT least, how about some clothing designed for those skeletons? Aithsims has us covered.

As of Feb 2023, all of these mods are working and *GASP* working well together in my game. Have fun!

If I find more mods to add to this list, I sure will, but this is what I have right now.

The Big List of Custom Spells for Realm of Magic

When it comes to Sims games, I am always a fan of occult sims. When Realm of Magic brought Spellcasters to The Sims 4, I was an excited simmer! That said, I knew I wanted more spells for my Spellcasters.

Modders to the rescue! Several modders came forward with fun, useful, mischievous, and even a few diabolical spells to give our Spellcaster’s more interesting things to cast.

I cannot claim this is a complete list of the custom spells modders have created for RoM, but they are the spells I know about. If you know of others and want to tell me about them, please do!

ALWAYS fully take the time to read a modder’s description and instructions when installing any new mods.

The Big List of Holiday Traditions and Club Activities Mods

The ability to make and plan for our own Holidays in the Sims 4 using the calendar function that came with Seasons was a GREAT idea. It’s very much a shame that more options form other Sims 4 DLC hasn’t been added into the list of traditions we would like to have. This is where custom content creators on modders, wonderful people that they are, do their very best to correct this EA oversight.

This list may not be complete, but it is a very good place to start. If you download all of these, you will have overlapping traditions (as in having an “Eat Ice Cream” option added as two separate traditions by two separate creators.) Be aware and always choose to download the separated options when available.

If you enjoy really customizing your Holidays and your Clubs, I can’t recommend checking out custom traditions as an option enough!

Find your way to custom traditions by using the links under the read more.

Pastel Sims Unicorn Horn -- This person’s Tumblr has vanished, but I did reblog the original post.  This creator appears defunct, so to save you from an ad*ly link, This Link will take you directly to the SFS download. I have also made a recolored version of this horn, but be aware that my recolored version is set as an Upper Chest Tattoo -- Azuhra’s recolor of Pastel’s Unicorn Horn

Silvermoon’s Unicorn Horn -- Silvermoon’s Tumblr Post -- This one is actually a Sailor Moon related accessory, but I hereby claim that it is also a Unicorn Horn.

Tovisims Unicorn Horns and Tails -- This creator’s tumblr has also vanished, however lostsims4cc recovered the post and the goods which you can find here. I did create several recolors of this horn and also placed the horn as an Upper Chest Tattoo and the Tails as Lower Back Tattoos if anyone would like them. Azuhra’s Recolors of Tovisims Unicorn Horn set as Upper Chest Tattoo - Horse Tail set as Lower Back Tattoo -- Unicorn Tail set as Lower Back Tattoo

- List of Links to Azuhra’s Sims Gameplay, Stories, & Posts -

This is a pinned post created for ease of finding where to start on my Sims stories, play throughs, and other related tags. It’s hard to find anything on mobile, so let’s try to streamline it, shall we?

Sorted under the Unicorn Legacy tag.

Gen 01 - Gen 02 - Gen 03

The Random Baby Challenge -- a sort-of-kind-of 100 Baby challenge that I play for fun sometimes in the Sims 4.

Sorted under the Random Baby Challenge tag.

---

The Sims 4 Super Sim Challenge -- in which I am attempting though several generations and then extended gameplay to create a sim with all available traits, skills, and eventually having completed all Uni degrees and possible jobs. This will be a long running challenge.

Sorted under the Super Sim tag.

---

Building a Sims 4 Save File -- just as it says, this gameplay is focused on building a no CC game file for myself and involves building all the lots, creating sims, and playing through all kinds of families to give them skills and relationships with other sims. This is a pet project for my own enjoyment, but I love sharing what I’m doing with it.

Sorted under the Azuhra’s Save tag.

---

Making Money with Robin Flight -- This play through began when I (a) removed all of my mods after the March 14th, 2023 infant update patch and (b) decided this was a great time to play through one of the scenarios for the first time. While I did add my default skin and eyes back in, I let Robin help me ramble through an unmodded game for this scenario, exploring the infant patch, and learning about the Growing Together expansion pack features.

Sorted under the Robin Flight tag.

---

Aimless Sims 4 Gameplay -- sometimes I play for me instead of playing with the intent to post a cohesive storyline to my Simblr. Sometimes those me-time play sessions result in fun screenshots that I like to share. This is where they land.

Sorted under the Aimless Gameplay tag
