Exercise with a fitness Ball
If your Sims have been stuck doing the same treadmill animations or jogging around the neighborhood for the hundredth time, it is time to shake up their workout routine. The new custom content pack, Exercise with a fitness Ball, brings a fresh, dynamic, and highly visual way to add variety to your Sims' fitness journeys. This isn't just another set of poses; it includes a brand-new mesh for the fitness ball itself, making every screenshot and gameplay moment look polished and professional.
This pack was born from a community vote, with the "Let me decide" option winning 24% of the patron votes. The result is a versatile collection of 10 unique poses designed to capture the full range of a core workout. Whether your Sim is stretching, balancing, or pushing through a challenging rep, this pack delivers authentic movement. The custom ball is attached to the stigmata bone, ensuring that the animations align perfectly with the mesh for a seamless visual experience.
