Glitchy Creepy Scott Smile is Glitchy

"It's not that creepy, is it?"

No, but it is glitchy.

Scott has got to be the worst offender when it comes to the glitched facial expression. I noticed it when I did the very first hot tub group date with the bachelor challenge. His face stayed EXACTLY THE SAME even when everyone else was being expressive. A quick little 'force error' fixed it, but of course that had to wait until the hot tub time was done.

This afternoon, I was shooting some additional pictures for the next BC update and I seriously had to force error on Scott about FOUR times. His face kept glitching with this smile.

Talk to Dean. Glitchy smile. Talk to Cecil. Glitchy smile. Talk to Miranda. Glitchy smile. Reaction scene that requires emotional response. GLITCHY GODDAMN SMILE!

Pen, I love your boy here, but I got to wonder if this is genetic or just something he's doing in my game? :)

On more relevant news about the BC, I've decided there will be two separate parts for Day 5 and 6. I could probably squeeze them together, but it would be tough getting everything I need in 127 slides. So, I'll probably have Day 5 at about 90-100 slides and then pad out Day 6 with the epilogue to however many slides I need.

Since I'm near the end, I'm actually going back in and reshooting some of the 'standard' stuff to make it work better with the story. It's not quite as extreme as the way Sarah and Chris did Sim Spade's BC, but I figured I played it through honestly, now I can adjust the things I need to fit the story.

No ETA, but hopefully soon for Day 5.

That's hilarious. I rarely get face-glitches, and it's generally confusion or "grrrr" when I do.

I always assume SimNerd is cookin' any number of inappropriate heart-farts. It's a safe bet.

I get the dancing raised eyebrow quite often, but that's usually reset fairly quickly by having them do something else. The stuck smile seems more pervasive and stubborn for some reason.
