upd. aug 7, 2025: i fixed the fork position in the hand 🍴

there are two animation styles based on the sim's gender. you can switch between them using my other mod! you can also set the default ea animation style for individual sims if you prefer that.

male pose preview:


the override applies only if:

• the sim is teen to elder;

• the sim is eating at a dining, picnic or desk table;

• the food is not handheld like ice cream cones or lollipops.

this override is much simpler than the default eating animations, i've only included:

• basic eating;

• eating spoiled or poor food;

• sad mood eating;

• and several idle variations.

originally, i wanted to redo way more animations, but i was surprised by how many different eating behaviors exist in the game. i also wanted to keep the special glutton trait eating, but it turned out to be too complex for me to implement.

i tested this mod thoroughly, but there’s a huge variety of food in the sims, so issues may still appear. please be ready to re-download if updates are needed!
