I’ve been making quite some good money in SL, working at Sweets and writing for FreeLife mag, but I haven’t been spending much… which means that I never had so much money in my virtual account as this week! Yay for me! 
So, anyway, having money is good and all, but buying funky and cool stuff is much more fun then just having a fat account 
Hence, and after an interesting Summer development, I decided it was time to buy one of those neat gadgets I’d seen before but never really had the need (or the money) to afford back in a while.
A Couples Animator!
There are several in the market and, as usual, I spent some time looking around, checking prices and features, from different vendors. Eventually I narrow it down to 2 and… after reading carefully the info provided by both creators about their gadgets I decided that the sheer amount of animations and possibility to customize was a far better trade off then the interesting (in paper) features the other one add and its lower price… So I head down to Abranimations and bleeded out the money (995L$) for their Couple’s Animator HUD (v.3).
I really get uncomfortable paying so much money for one single object gadget… BUT, Abranimations have a great name, and I had bought some stuff from them before so… I kind of expected it to work and to be good.

So what’s the final veredict?
Well, it was worth it! 70+ couples animations is really ALOT!! The HUD is simple enough to use, though with so many animations it maybe get annoying to navigate around searching for them. On the other hand you can use chat commands to trigger them, so… once I get familiarized with the thingy that should pose no problem! In all truth, I will never use all the animations provided – unless very kinky stuff happens – but it doesn’t really matter, because I really got a ton of things I can do now with this baby now and some of them are really really cool !! ^_^
Plus, you can also customize it and add more animations which is just brilliant !!
My only regret is that some of the couple animations don’t really stuck one avatar to the other, ie: like the carrying around, or holding the other avatar in your arms … so you can’t walk around with them, and in that sense its a bit static. But otherwise, its really neat. Nice fluid animations, you can hold them as long as you want and stop them when you want. As normal, some don’t exactly match, either avie height difference, or not perfectly aligned, and you can’t use it on ‘no-scripts allowed’ sims, but that would happen with any animator so…
In conclusion: 5 out of 5 stars !! I’m really happy with it
I seriously recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a very good couple animator !!
