I felt like I buffed the granny class of peds slightly, they can now run but their movement is still sluggish. I changed the stances of some of the weapons than the standard, like the katana getting a badass upgrade with a new combat moveset despite its low damage; all shotguns have better aim and reload animations. The desert eagle and MP5 with gangster aim and all rifle types including the sniper category with better aiming stance and the ability to prone instead of crouching. The Tec-9 in particular remains unchanged since the release well known for being recoil-less, it does not cause any tension in the shooter's arm per bullet fired, and I liked that.

I even decided to improve the passenger animation on two-seater bikes, instead of tucking the hands towards the taillight, the passenger instead puts its hands as close to CJ's lower stomach, and if they have a weapon when they shoot, their animations are different too. As for interacting with people due to CJ's neutral reputation with the waifus, if I want someone to defend themselves, all I have to do is simply press G with a weapon out on the nearest ped without the need to target them. They will have it in their hands albeit one-handed instantly if I have mastered certain weapons already equal to the total amount of ammo I have and still have the weapon without losing ammo. I also have the ability to say hi by pressing P, they will stop and wave back but that is just it, they will walk away like normal immediately, though in some circumstances, they will stop what they are doing after the waving and stand there until something occurs like being shot. Lastly I can make only one ped follow me around as if they were recruited with K (only works on females), and do a little smooch like I would when doing romance missions with the same key again if very close enough, and to allow that ped to move normally again after being ordered to follow is to press H.

Now I feel like I know the basics of surviving the final preliminary stage with these simple tweaks, now I'm ready to start the anime invasion by adding one type of location-based missions at a time in hopes I'll get CJ to do work to raise his reputation with the waifus. As my reputation with them increases, the police side will try to make things harder for me overtime. Too bad I won't do the DYOM part, but maybe once I get to around 30% Waifu reputation or 300 points they'll start to notice and more animation tweaks will come my way too. 🙂
