Please use this thread going forward: Spine distortion on male Sims with female frame | EA Forums - 4948444
Update 9/18/2024 - Still no fix! Really EA? Really?
Okay, OK!
Here are the INSTANCE identifiers for the 18 Deformer Maps that need restoring:
For the love of the Sims franchise, please fix our bodies! It's been almost TWO MONTHS!
MALE SIM WITH FEMININE FRAME: RAISED "SPINE" FROM NECK TO BUTT
FEMALE SIM WITH MASCULINE FRAME: SUNKEN "SPINE"
FEMALE SIM WITH FEMININE FRAME WEARING MALE CLOTHING: RAISED "SPINE" FROM NECK TO BUTT
MALE SIM WITH MASCULINE FRAME WEARING FEMALE CLOTHING: SUNKEN "SPINE"
Update 10/1/2024 - Still broken. That's SIX updates and still no fix.
"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.
Laundry List 10/8/2024 - THE PIZZA DELIVERY SPECIALIST IS FINALLY GETTING FIXED!
A fix has existed for the Delivery Specialist since July 2021. It was made by - is it Simvasion or Galactrix - and can be found by searching for "Simvasion Food Delivery Fix". I've been complaining about this 2 KB fix not being in the game FOR YEARS!
With that out of the way...
I SEE NO MENTION OF THE DEFORMER MAPS GETTING FIXED.
Does this mean we're getting fixed or is that another no for the seventh time?
I have listed every one of the broken Deformer Maps breaking our bodies in this comment in this Bug Report here on AHQ:
And I provided the modfix and explained that it's as simple as restoring the old Deformer Maps from the 6/6/2024 version of the game:
Here's the INSTANCE LIST again, but this time in ALPHANUMERICAL ORDER:
The next comment I make, I will provide a GDrive or SFS link for an archive containing the 18 raw extracted files from 6/6/2024. Maybe EAxis simply doesn't have access to the files anymore, who knows!
@EA_Cade This doesnt just affect male sims with female frame it affects all sims if they use clothing, meant for the other frame. Could you adjust the title to account for this?
Male sim with female top:
Female Sim wearing a masculine-made full body outfit
Female sim with a male frame: Sunken in Chest.
Its all the same root cause with the 18 broken deformers. As @Sejian explained.
UPDATE 10/22/2024 - STILL NO OFFICIAL FIX!
THAT'S SEVEN (7)!
SEVEN (7) OFFICIAL UPDATES SINCE MY MOD-FIX AND NO OFFICIAL FIX!
This issue first appeared with Update 7/23/2024. I provided a fix for it on 7/30/2024 and since then I have explained in detail what the problem is and how to fix it.
Last time I said I'd provide the raw files in either a GDrive folder or an SFS folder, however, I have not had internet for the past 10 days and may not have internet til next month. I'm currently on a hot-linked limited cellular data plan. Until such time that I'm back online, the raw files can be extracted from the mod-fix I provided, which is available on CurseForge and Sims File Share if you prefer not to give CF your traffic. Both are linked in the SOLUTION comment, which is highlighted on the first page of this thread.
Weirdly enough now I noticed it's fixed on *some* things but not all of them? For a second I thought it was silently fixed but then once I changed to a different outfit the back fin was still there and pants badly warped.
