Mannequins: Pose-able! Bags and hand-items!

[Glamorpuss]

It'd be really cool if there was a right-click menu or button-like-stove-or-garbage menu, to pose mannequins. I want to have the correct poses for my winter and summer display! They're hard enough to find as is, and I don't think it'd unbalance the game _too_ much. ;)

EDIT:
Just found out that mannequins can't show off bags/purses/packs, or hold items in their hands. How am I supposed to show a 1950s lifestyle zone, if I can't have mom-equin with frying pan in hand, and dad holding a beer and newspaper?

Well technically they are already pose-able based on orientation.

Could you explain? Rotating mannequins just rotates them for me, and leaves them with the same poses, like with their hand on their hip.

Based on the direction they are facing, mannequins change poses. Hands on hips should be facing South-West if I remember right, as I have two on a deck using that pose. I have another making a different pose in the hall outside my bedroom, because it's facing North-West. (Or if you ignore map cant, they're facing South and North respectively). Not using the rotate key, but dragging with the mouse cursor, the same way you would for any other moveable furniture.

Do you have a mod installed? This doesn't happen for me at all. They literally just rotate, either click-dragging an orientation with the placement tool, or by using the rotate tool.
- east[ibb.co]
- south with placement tool[ibb.co]
- south with rotate tool[ibb.co]

Even assuming for the sake of argument that rotating mannequins currently poses them, I don't think that's useful. Pose should not be tied to orientation - it limits player options for their displays! : )

Facing South and East are different poses. And yea, I agree it'd be nice if we could use any pose facing any direction.

I have no female mannequins, so no idea what their behavior is. No mods affecting mannequins.

If you have Debug mode enabled you can right click on a mannequin's feet and under objects your should see, "Mannequin: Set Script" if you go under that, you can find the different mannequins. There are 3 white and black variants for both male and female.

Female 1 is hand on hip.
Female 2 is hands by sides.
Female 3 is hand in front of face.

Male 1 is both hands on hips.
Male 2 is one hand on hip.
Male 3 is hands by sides.

NOTE: Clothing will be overwritten. At least one piece of the new clothing must remain for the pose to remain. If all clothing is removed pose will reset to pose 2.
