Introduction
This tutorial will show you how to use the Pose Player mod.
What you will need
The Pose Player mod The Sims 4 game
Setup
You will need to make sure that script mods are enabled for your game. You can do that from your in-game settings.
Instructions
1. Download the Pose Player mod and extract the two files inside the .zip. Place both files into your Sims 4 Mods folder as shown below. You can also put custom poses into your Mods folder if you would like them to be played in the game.
2. Start the game up and click on your Sim as you usually would when you want to tell them to do something. You will notice a new choice appears in the menu of actions. Select Pose By Name.
Note: the sim must be standing or they will not pose with the animation you choose.
3. You need to enter a clip name into the box that pops up. There is a list of all the EA clips posted in the same download as the Pose Player itself. You can highlight a clip name on the list, copy it, and paste it into the pop up box in the game.
4. This is what the box will look like. Once you've entered a clip (pose) name click the check button.
5. Your Sim will start performing the pose.
6. If you want you can click on any other Sim, even Sims that aren't the active Sim, and tell them to pose too. They can perform a different pose than the active Sim is performing or they can perform the same one.
7. When you want the Sim to stop performing a pose click them again and select Stop Posing from the menu.
8. If you want your Sim to perform a custom default override pose you need to type in the name of whichever EA pose the custom pose overwrites.
Here is a list of the CAS trait animations for playing custom poses that you have downloaded for CAS:
a_CAS_trait_active_x a_CAS_trait_artLover_x a_CAS_trait_bro_x a_CAS_trait_cheerful_laughWaveOff_x a_CAS_trait_clumsy_x a_CAS_trait_commitmentIssues_x a_CAS_trait_confident_headTilt_x a_CAS_trait_creative_x a_CAS_trait_deepThinking_x a_CAS_trait_evil_x a_CAS_trait_familyOriented_x a_CAS_trait_foodie_x a_CAS_trait_geek_x a_CAS_trait_gloomy_x a_CAS_trait_goofBall_x a_CAS_trait_heelClick_x a_CAS_trait_hotHeaded_x a_CAS_trait_idle_01_x a_CAS_trait_idle_02_x a_CAS_trait_idle_lookAround_x a_CAS_trait_insane_x a_CAS_trait_lazy_x a_CAS_trait_loner_x a_CAS_trait_lovesOutdoors_x a_CAS_trait_materialistic_x a_CAS_trait_mean_x a_CAS_trait_musicLover_x a_CAS_trait_neat_x a_CAS_trait_nevernude_x a_CAS_trait_romantic_f_hand2Heart_x a_CAS_trait_romantic_f_strikePose_x a_CAS_trait_romantic_m_cockHeadAndSway_x a_CAS_trait_slob_x a_CAS_trait_snob_x

Thank you so much! This mod will be super helpful. One question though; can I create a custom pose that doesn't override any of the default animations?

Stupid question, but do we need the latest version of the game for the pose player to work? I am pretty sure I'm installing it correctly (extract files into mods folder) but the option to pose isn't showing up in the game. Asides from that, thanks to Andrew for creating (and others for testing) the sims 4 pose player! I am excited to use it once I can actually access it.

Yes. You should also make sure script mods are enabled as the tutorial shows.

So f I have a pose installed entitled "Lilo_CAS_creative_x" I wouldn't type that, I'd type whatever the code for Creative trait pose, correct? I remember with the pose player for Ts3 you had to type in the name of the pose.
Also can I have more than one pose that takes over the same trait/animation? Like if I had 2 or 3 poses that all replace the goofy trait, or the push up animation for example. Would the pose player play all of those poses?

Hey lowkeysimblr, Since there are no custom animations yet that don't overwrite an EA one, you will have to enter the name of the EA one that the creator overwrote. I've added a list of the EA names of the CAS traits to the first post. For that one you would want to enter a_CAS_trait_creative_x as the pose name Once we can make non-default poses, the creators will need to rename their poses in order for you to have them all in the game at once.

You will need to enter the name of the animation you overwrote for now.
