Bonus stuff update
Added 2023-09-30 21:57:47 +0000 UTC
Hey! Recently I decided to upgrade gyms in my game with wonderful Kritical's workout machines, Exercise Bike, Workout Machine Freya and Thighmaster X.
But once I did that, I found that they don't work as I expected. I mean they don't behave like standard in-game workout machines, so sims just either don't use them or use but not in the way I would like. So I decided to dig into it and correct/improve them.
As a result I changed a lot of things in these object tunings because as it turned out, they were originally based not even on a workout machine object but on a sculpture and thus they had little in common with workout machines. I also turned them not into ordinary workout machines bit into special ones, not for all sims. All original features have been retained. Well, I think you will see everything yourself in the game.
As I said, I made a lot of changes, so I'm not sure I can remember them all but here are the main ones:
Removed decor object tags and added the proper ones for workout machines, corrected tuning resources for the same purpose.
Enabled autonomy for all 3 objects.
Made all 3 workout machines female exclusive from teens to adults, no males and elders allowed.
Made all 3 workout machines use nude outfit for workout and switch to athletic one after finishing it.
Actually I would like to see athletic outfit with undressing for workout no matter of Nudity skill, but unfortunately I had no success trying to implement this, so changing to nude outfit remained the only suitable solution.
Made WickedWhims nudity pressure blocked for machine users.
Removed animation fading for Tighmaster.
Made Exercise Bike workout time limited.
Decreased Tighmaster and Freya workout times.
Made sims can interact with gym mentors including autonomy.
Changed "preparing" animation for Tighmaster to the same one that Freya has.
Made using Exercise Bike also increases Sexpertise skill.
Added custom thought cloud for sims preparing to Thighmaster and Freya.
Please note that these objects are edited originals, so you need to remove the original ones (if used) if you want to use the edited versions, otherwise they will conflict.
Other bonus stuff changes:
Updated children bodies for the recent game changes, packages have been renamed for more proper names, so please, remove the old ones when updating.
Bonus stuff was split into 2 archives because it became too large for the allowed size.
Hope you like the update.

Yes, well, they are actually workout machines, with that other "workout" plus activity ;) but in a practical way, sims are actually exercising on them besides that plus, but I think that way too, it's a small detail that does not affects at all the whole intention and possibilities of those machines.

2023-10-04 20:32:24 +0000 UTCHonestly, having thought a little bit more about this, I think both options fit, but at least the lack of effect of this lot trait doesn't ruin anything for these machines.

2023-10-04 20:15:32 +0000 UTCI have looked at what Bracing Breezes does while using a workout machine and I think maybe it's even good that it doesn't affect these particular machines? Because they are a bit specific and workouts on them aren't actually workouts but "workouts", well, you know ;) So maybe it's better to not focus on fitness as much while using them. Besides, that headline effect (I guess that particle effect that you meant)... I thing it's better to not see it during such a "workout", guess sims are thinking not about fitness at all at such moments :D

2023-10-04 20:10:00 +0000 UTCThese object use custom animations but they are configured as game animations not as WW ones. But animations have nothing to do with lot trait effects. Maybe I missed some part of the object tuning that is responsible for the lot trait, I'll look into it.

2023-10-04 19:38:50 +0000 UTCI see, I really don't know anything about animations and mostly anything about how the game works lol, as a simple player it's too easy to imagine and wish things to be done with mods. The work you've done is great as it is ;) About the Bracing Breezes trait, I meant the machines does not behaves like the rest of the game's exercising machines, receiving that boost from that lot trait for the fitness skill, but for what I'm understanding now, they are using WW animations and are not like the game machines, so they are also great the way the are, they fulfill perfectly the needs for a lusty kinky gym as they are ;) Thank you so much for your effort and your time to review my comments :)

2023-10-04 19:08:27 +0000 UTCI didn't touch animations, they are originals. I agree that they could be better but in this case I would need to make my own version from scratch. Also game animations are set up completely differently compared to WW animations, I would say it's a bit complicated and I'm not sure I can do it correctly, I never triedб so I decided to leave original ones. Maybe someday. I'm not sure I understand what you mean speaking about Bracing Breezes lot trait, but I'll look at it. As for wants/fears on the machines, well, this is completely out of my league, I'm pretty noob in making such things :) Of course, I could learn but unfortunately I don't have as much time to learn everything I'd like. Of course, I don't mind adding your translation, just upload it somewhere when you ready and send me the link via PM, I will include it. P.S. While updating these machines I also translated in Russian but I made my version different almost completely. I wanted it to be sophisticatedly vulgar, as in rough porn movies. So if you interested you can look at it :)

2023-10-04 18:48:48 +0000 UTCHi, thanks for your response! I actually loved them, and yeah!, after some tries mine ended up being a normal gym-spa with those lucky guys enjoying the view lol. I have not made an exhaustive testing so I'm not sure if I'm wrong on this or if it's even possible or supposed to be that way, but it seems like the machines are not affected by the Bracing Breezes lot trait, I can't see the particle effect when exercising on them. I know that animations are always the toughest part, considering all the great work you've done so far and to the machines themselves to make them functional, but I think they'll be simply perfect if the animations were a little more variable, with some stops to rest and take a breath due to the intense "workout", rubbing their exhausted "legs" and/or some variations in the rhythm, specially with higher intense workouts, something like the game's machines. And one last little thing, it would be fantastic that the ladies could have custom wants/fears on the machines, something like "Eager to exercise deeply", specially with active sims and so on. You've just made possible a completely new way for the sims to enjoy exercise :D P.S. I've made the Spanish translation for them, let me know if you want them to include them.

2023-10-04 17:11:12 +0000 UTCOf course! Any feedback is always much appreciated, thanks a lot, I'm really glad you like it. P.S. Personally, I have placed this machines in common gyms, so men were surprised and enjoyed watching women's "workout" ;)

2023-10-04 14:52:28 +0000 UTCHey, great work and great idea!, all the machines works perfectly, they're fantastic for a women only gym ;). Are you accepting feedback?
