Please use this thread going forward: Spine distortion on male Sims with female frame | EA Forums - 4948444
WE'RE NOW ON UPDATE 12/3/2024!
... and we've crossed into FIVE MONTHS!
That's TEN Updates, TWO Kits, TWO FOMO Events, ONE Expansion Pack, and TWO "Creator Kits", BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED OUR BODIES!
This is a 3.26 MB fix that requires ZERO effort! The title of this Bug Report hasn't even been modified to reflect the scope of this problem.
HERE'S THE FIX:

🎁 CF - https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/bg-bugfix-for-patch-240723
18 Deformer Maps that control the shape of our bodies were corrupted or improperly modified in Update 7/23/2024. My fix restores the old Deformer Maps from Update 6/6/2024.
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE!
Male sims with Feminine Frames will see their spines raising out of their backs, Female sims with Masculine Frames will see their spines sinking into their backs and Female and Male sims with Default Frames will experience the aforementioned issues when intentionally or unintentionally (because of EAxis' continued use of incorrect PartFlags) wearing clothing made for the opposite frame.
I'm not entirely sure what EAxis was trying to do, but they didn't, I'm also not entirely sure why this hasn't been fixed in any of the multiple official patches that have been released since Update 7/23/2024.
I'VE NOW MADE FIXING THIS EVEN EASIER!

"Well you can fix it yourself, if you're so impatient."
I already did: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Spine-distortion-on-male-Sims-with-female-frame/m-p/13916734/highlight/true#M286166
And I've explained how to fix it in detail: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Spine-distortion-on-male-Sims-with-female-frame/m-p/14053376/highlight/true#M293677
But MODS don't help console simmers.
