˗ˏˋ Combine The Two´ˎ˗

See, that wasn’t much at all, right?
I use both of these in tandem for 90% of my sims to get the results you see in nearly all of my renders.

1. Start on Frame 0 for pose (and in this with the Princess Dress you absolutely want to make sure the ‘back ties’ are off).

2. Set the timeline to however many frames I think will be

3. Pick my movement keyframes (this time I slid the figure to the side and rotated on the y axis at different frames) and character dial spot

Then let the sim do its thing

And slide the trackbar through the frames until I find the one I want then finish setting up my scene around it.

That’s it!
That’s all there is. Now you know my ~secret~ to the sims.
The only final note to mention is that it doesn’t always work particularly well with hair. Some do well with it, some do not.
Hopefully it helps a little on your future dForce shenanigans.
