🔧Troubleshooting - Getting 'ooOLalaWorld' Animations to Work
🕑 Added 2018-01-24 03:16:05 +0000 UTCThere are two parts to this post:
1 - 🆕 FIRST TIME USERS &
2 -🔧ANIMATIONS NOT WORKING / SHOWING UP
===
If you've used my animations before, skip to the "ANIMATIONS NOT WORKING..." section of this post.
Even if you've used my animations once before and they are not working anymore for some reason please still read this entire post from top-to-bottom just to make sure you've done all you can.
If you have and you still can't find a fix just message me and I'll help you out :)
🆕 FIRST TIME USERS
First things first. If you are $5+ tier patron, only download from $5+ tier patron posts. If you are a $10+ tier patron only download from $10+ tier posts. Unless specified, $10+ tier patrons will always have more animations than the $5+ patrons and the animation pack will automatically include the animations from $5+ patron posts.
For the latest animations, find your latest download post according to your tier here:
All Animation Downloads (All Tiers)
Step 1 - Know how to install mods in the Sims 4:
Click this link to find out more:
http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/mods-cc.php
You should have your Mods folder inside a folder called "Electronic Arts" in your "My Documents" folder on your computer & under that a folder called "Sims 4".
Depending on which Drive you installed it on (it is usually the C: Drive though)
Create a folder called "Mods" inside it. If it already has a folder with that name then you don't need to do anything further,
Next, open up your game.
Find "Game Options", then click "Other" and make sure the check-boxes for "Enable Custom Content and Mods" AND "Script Mods Allowed" are both ticked.
Restart your game, and now you're done with this part.
Step 2 - Download the latest version of WickedWhims:
Go to: https://wickedwhimsmod.com/download.
You should be greeted with the latest version of WickedWhims.
Download and save the mod into your "Mods" folder.
Right-click & "EXTRACT" all the contents of the compressed file into your "Mods" folder.
And you're done with this part.
Step 3:
Download "ooOLalaWorld" animations for Wicked Whims:
Navigate to my patreon page:
patreon.com/ooOLalaWorld
Go to this post to get the latest content:
Go to: Latest Animation Releases:
If you want the very latest animation set, click here:
Go to: Latest Animation Set (All Tiers)
Go to the download post and download the attached .package file
Put the '.package' file inside your Mods folder and restart your Sims 4 Game.
Note - Make sure to not accidentally have duplicates of my .packages files in your Mods folder otherwise my animations will not show up (check all your sub-folders).
For example if you have 'OLL Animations (AP).package' & 'OLL Animations (AP) (Copy).package' in your Mods folder my animations will not show up in you game!
So be careful not to do this.
Step 4 - Check if animations are recognized and working:
Open up your game and look for a WickedWhims Pop-up when you enter Live Mode:
If you see either "OLL" or "ooOLalaWorld" then you know the game has recognized my animations and you should be ready to use them! ✅
TIME TO PLAY 💞
Click the floor or different objects and navigate through the WickedWhims Mod to see which items can have animations performed on them.
And from here on out. You can ask me in a message or on a post for any additional help but be sure to play around with the Mod for a bit :)
Have Fun!

🔧 ANIMATIONS NOT WORKING OR NOT SHOWING UP
If this is the first time you are using my animations (or you haven't been able to get my animations to ever work), do not skip the first section of this post or the following information is unlikely to help you.
If you are not part of this category go through this check list before messaging me, if you can:
===
CHECK #0.5: Can't download or extract the file
If you click on the attached document and nothing happens then try a different browser.
If you're new to patreon, you shouldn't be looking for a big download button, attached downloads are usually found in the location indicated by the orange arrow in the image below:
If the attached file has '.zip' instead of '.package' simply right click on the .zip file and find an option like "Extract" and the .package file(s) inside will be extracted.
===
CHECK #1: Duplicates?
Do you have duplicates of the same file? i.e. "OLL_Animations (AP)" & "OLL Animations (AP) (Copy)" <- If you have duplicates of the same file, it is likely that my animations will NOT work.
PLEASE NOTE: It is OKAY to have downloaded ".packages" directly from me which had different names
- i.e. "WW_ooOLalaWorldAnimations" & "OLL_Animations (AP)".
^ It is fine to have packages with different names like you can see in this example because they contain different animation sets.
BUT
If I upload a new post and it has the same name as the previous version then you need to overwrite the previous one. Don't worry, you will not lose any old animations.
===
CHECK #2: Have the animations been recognized by Wicked Whims?
When you loaded up your game, was the animation set you downloaded from me listed in the top-right corner? (as a WickedWhims notification):
If it did, go to CHECK #3, if not, message me or comment on that post.
This is a fix I may have to make.
===
CHECK #3: Specific animations seemingly not showing up under any category
Most patrons have this issue when they add a new animation pack. To exclude any issue that may have been caused by me.
Please do the following before messaging me (after which I will help you):
1 - Get two Sims near the object (or area if it plays on the floor or while standing) which that animation refers to.
2 - Open up the WickedWhims "settings" by clicking anywhere on the floor.
3 -Navigate to "Sex Settings"
4 -Find & click "Gender Settings"
5 -Click "Anything Goes"
6 - Close out of all the WickedWhims windows
7 - Test and see if the animation appears under any of the categories.
===
✅ You CAN see the animation(s) now :
If it does, then you need to ensure that you've got the correct combination of sim genders if you want to use the WickedWhims' default settings.
==
❌ You CAN'T see the animation(s) now :
If the animations still don't show up, make sure your Sims are at least "Young Adults" or you'll have to mess around with the WickedWhims settings to enable "Teen Romance" etc.
If it still doesn't work! then message me
Let me know the name of the animation which is not showing up and I'll run some checks and get back to you as soon as I can.
----
CHECK #4: Sims T-Posing or Standing Inside Each Other:
It's unlikely I wouldn't have seen this but many things could cause this like an update to the game or WickedWhims or version differences between my game and yours, or it could completely have forgotten to attach the animation data to the sims.
In this case, all you probably can do is message me and I'll get to fixing it as soon as possible.
Hope this post helps your solve the issue.
Thank you so much for supporting!

Just FYI, there are a bunch of warnings in WW's log about some of them. Too messy for here, if you're interested I can send you the log on Discord

I'm glad to hear it Gus! Have fun ! :)
Gus Mendoza
I've got it to work, I guess when the file 'EXTRACT' it was being moved into too many files. Thank you!
ooOLaLa World
Hmm...so does Wicked Whims work in your game on its own? Have you tested it with no other mod in your game, apart from my animations and Wicked Whims? Let's see if it's a mod conflict
Gus Mendoza
Ok good, that's the one I have, still no luck :/
ooOLaLa World
But the latest one is March 5th 2018 -> <a href="http://wickedwhims.tumblr.com/post/171552076026/wickedwhims-324122h" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://wickedwhims.tumblr.com/post/171552076026/wickedwhims-324122h</a>
Gus Mendoza
It's the standard command one/ since i allowed scripts and all and yes, downloaded it from your page, it states july 2017.
ooOLaLa World
Cheats pop-up? What do you mean by that? Also have you updated to the latest Wicked Whims?
Gus Mendoza
I'm unable to get it to work, I don't have any duplicates and all my game settings are correct and no pop up appears, only the cheat pop up.
ooOLaLa World
Haha naa not even close :3

Dear God I misread the title of this as Ooolalaword Get to Work. I thought you were making an interactive "get to work" adult career mod for a second there...
