    One of my main modding questions is if modders will have any ability to modify or add UI elements/modals. One of the worst things about Sims 4 modding is that you have to try and cram any mods inside the existing UI with very little wiggle room
    If you want a new mechanic with stats? Well it better fit inside a crammed phone UI or as yet another pie menu node. I hope LBY makes it easier for modders to actualize a vision without compromises!

      Great question! We've definitely designed our UI with modding in mind, so that hopefully UI won't limit the mods that you have in mind, however we know that there are going to be mods you all think up and add that may need a bit extra UI attention. We'll anticipate continuing to refine those areas in EA as new types of mods come in! 😊

Like is it just color changes? or can we actually alter the physical shape and appearance of a shirt, like take a shirt and remove the sleeves, or make it a V-neck, or a halter top? Can we change the length of skirts or pants? will we be able to do actual 3d modeling for the game? Cause everything I'm seeing so far is technically no different then the edit feature found in Sims3 as far as changing textures and colors of clothing items.

    One really important aspect of modding that has not really been brought up so far, is the ability to add custom animations in to the game.
    If adding animations in to the game ends up not really being possible, it would really hamper the ability to make custom interactions and objects. Like couches with different heights as an example.
    Another thing that would be great to have is the ability to decide from where items are available. as an example: clothes that are not available to for purchase in stores but are only obtainable as quest rewards.

    • @CrossfacePanda
      @CrossfacePanda หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      I think that would fall under the Custom Gameplay category, and in the Create menu you could see animations being one of the categories available for modding.
      So I imagine that’s where you can not only edit existing animations to some degree (probably mainly how they are used and triggered), but also where you’re able to add wholly bespoke animations made from scratch outside of the game. Which is why it probably falls under Custom Gameplay, as it’d require both familiarity with external animation software, but also some Unity knowhow to implement them and make sure they work as intended).

    • @98Zai
      @98Zai หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The animation moddability is something I have been asking about but haven't received any kind of response.
      But now with the promise in this video of "the third category" of modding, I think that's what we've been looking for.
      The reason I've been explicitly asking about this is because the normal animation pipeline wouldn't work for this game, because like you mentioned different heights are difficult to solve with that system.
      They are using what they call "procedural animations" which is basically Inverse Kinematics skeleton rigging. This allows characters of different heights/body proportions to connect their hands for a handshake without it looking awkward, likewise sitting on a couch or grabbing an object on a counter.
      This means that we need to somehow use the actual system they have in place to create animations or they wouldn't work. For example, with IK rigging you typically use a "target" that the skeleton tries to "reach" procedurally - move the target to the item you want to touch or where you want your leg to step. With this you can create dynamic animations that can be controlled by code! However, a normal animation created in blender for example is completely self contained and as far as I understand couldn't interact with the game in this way.
      If this doesn't make sense I would be happy to be corrected!
      Anyways, if they do grant us access to this system in Unity that would solve all those problems as we could use the same system that they used to create their own animations!

      I think the unity inclusion is nothing but a boon for us. They made bespoke applications for the most simple modifications, but to make such an effort for anything more complex would be a waste of time when they can just expose the literal tools they use. Usually you make your own tools within unity to make stuff easier, this is what we're granted access to!
      Also, I've seen that they have a node-based programming interface built into the game too, so you could still make pretty advanced functions without getting Unity. Maybe just not add new objects or clothing or modify animations!

      I mean, it's a small town. Looks pretty realistic to me! Though I wouldn't mind more people milling about.. it would look unnatural to have crowds on the streets though. It's probably down to the time of day, when people goto/leave work there'll be more people driving around. In the evenings on weekends there might be plenty of them with tourists coming in.

      An actual played game where you set characters to work and fill the world with more houses full of people the world will be busier. As it is now they have a small set number of houses with a few characters each with the only other population being the characters coming in on the buses who stay in the hotels.

    Great video, really clear instruction! Really like Willem's energy here. Looking forward to the rest of this 10-part series.
    Things that stuck out to me in this video:
    In the opening footage, our you-man literally just throws that bike on the ground in front of a huge bush spilling onto the road and then walks right through it. Will there be a little bit more object collision AI implemented into the game? Will there be bike rack objects we can add to the lots for them to park their bikes at? Or even in town edit mode?
    The male character model looks great, the female base character model still looks really off.
    She is weirdly hunched, like she's in a half squat with her arms bent at a weird angle and her butt sticking out, the shoulders are still too far back, hands dont go down the thigh enough and seem too small. I KNOW you have sliders for everything but if this is the base model, it still needs work.

      I'm guessing that, by modding in a preset, randomly-generated youmans will be able to use it automatically. Hopefully we will be able to mod in the removal of certain presets, allowing for a coherent look amongst townies e.g. clothing being a bit more dull if working on a post-apoc world.

    Apart from the tutorial about modifying an outfit, it was very interesting for me to see that bike riders are now riding on the edge of roads, instead of in the middle of them, in LBY. That is so much better, in my opinion!!! I do not want my bike riders blocking traffic or being run over by cars or, like in the video, large buses coming behind them. Well done!
    Can roads be edited to have bike or bus lanes? I am going to keep watching these videos because I am very interested in how customizable the roads and the world is. I want to be able to create a car-less world or town from another era.

      Ok, so I looked it up. Rod talks about clothing progression in the video titled "LBY | Let's Talk Gameplay Update with Rod!" at 2:10 timestamp.
      While he shows that progression for washing machines is a level/tier system where each tier has different gameplay features such as reliability or dish capacity, for clothing it seems to entirely deal with pricing. So a higher tier article of clothing is going to be more expensive. It's basically a way to sort clothing. That said, you can still mod clothing using the progression system if you wanted to give them different gameplay features like skill bonuses or what have you :) But this would globally affect all items in this tier.

    I truly don't enjoy being a party pooper, but how is this 'modding' different from using the 'add preset' button visible in the UI at 11:20? Are presets made through the mod tools shareable through steam workshop while presets made in-game are not? Or maybe presets made in the mod tool are available in all LBY towns, whereas presets made in-game are not? Does this mean that if I happen to make a great outfit in-game, I cannot share it easily? And is it correct that you cannot upload your own custom 3D model for entirely new clothes in the mod-tool? In truth, the latter was kind of what I was expecting/hoping for when opening this video.

    • @serenitycox217

      @98Zai หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I think the change made through the modding tool will be sharable, but when made in the game it's only for your game, or maybe just for that single piece of clothing - which will mean that no other characters in the game will randomly wear that color combo, which is good cause you might not want a random character wearing your modified neon-rave pants with a normal top.
      I suspect uploading will be touched upon in future videos, I can almost promise you that you will be able to create new clothing in a 3D design program and import it.

    I’m kinda hoping that LBY is going to be like how Project Zomboid operates with updates and with the modding community. I love the PZ Workshop and how easy it is to add mods directly from Steam by subscribing and enabling/disabling inside the game. I also love how PZ just does major updates over the years as it is still (and likely always will be) early access, adding more features. I thoroughly enjoy not being nickelled and dimed to death, I don’t tend to buy games with a tendency for creating pricey add-ons to keep it fresh (or functional 😒)

    • @98Zai
      @98Zai หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think that is just the standard implementation if you want to use the steam workshop? But I actually haven't modded another steam game so I'm just assuming. They show that you just untick the mod in that first menu if you don't want to use it, very similar to PZ. Timestamp 3:00
      PZ now has a roadmap towards 1.0 and I don't think it will be very long until they finish the game. (in PZ timeframe it could still be a few years though LOL) They added A LOT of things since I bought the game in 2013 for $5, so much value for the money! :) But after NPC's (or did they switch that around?) they're finished - and I'm terribly excited about their next project!
      I don't expect LBY to be in EA for 10 years, but probably over a year at least. But they said they will continue to add content after full release too, whether that will be in the form of paid DLC or free updates is not clear.
