yea I haven't played since the update cause I don't want to save. All the children in the game turned skinny, there isn't any point editing all of them back to normal since it'll just revert..
It’s possible to create a new save if you want to go into build mode and develop a build for when you get back to playing.
At least, that’s what I intend to do. While I wait for a fix, I have to build a Thrift Store for new SimLit chapters and a build for a MerMay challenge to share with the community. I do not think this bug should prevent doing builds in a separate save that you can transfer through the gallery. I do not believe lots from the gallery would bug an older save if they are transferred between saves that way.
Personally, I won’t be able to progress my actual gameplay for my story like this. While just a visual bug, inconsistent appearances of Sims could disrupt a reader’s immersion in my story. It definitely would mess with me. I have not saved over anything while testing things.
Child sliders aren't currently updatable by modders -- and won't be unless EA changes game code to make them possible again. Given that they seem to have been resolving game bugs with toddler and child appearance, I'm not anticipating that that's going to happen. You might just need to get used to not having them.
If I restore my laptop to a date before the update and expansion pack was release will that ruin my game? Will I be able to play the game this way? Maybe then the kids and toddlers will go back to normal.
I wouldn't recommend it. Even I don't know what that could do. It might be for the best that we get used to things without sliders.
I want to continue my SimLit story to a conclusion, but these updates are making visual changes that are too jarring for me. I might restart my story so that my characters can at least look consistent.
My biggest concern about this bug might be that even the Vanilla presets that don't come from any mods won't update outside of CAS.
I'm going to create a new save and double check if anything mod related could be involved, but it's more than just sliders. Child Sims have 3 preset body types and they are not updating in live mode either with CAS.Fulleditmode active.
That's unfortunate. When I got a slider functional in CAS but it wouldn't change anything in live mode, I suspected that there was more going on.
Truth is, I can change the appearance of child sims in CAS using the Obscurus Slider after I updated it through the modding software, but none of the changes are updating in live mode. The screenshots I took are depicting what I got working. I guess the key word is that the Slider is Functional in CAS.
If my memory still holds true, the software detected things out of date and I updated it. Loaded the game and could make changes in CAS. Everything I do in CAS doesn't update in live mode, including the vanilla preset bodies.
As for the modding software I used, I used ts4 morphmaker 4.5.2.0 and simply loaded the mod into that software. The slider then worked in CAS as I think it appears it was intended.
Just double checked the list of broken mods. I did not realize they would block saving. This is good to know. Thank you. Once again, I never tried to use anything regarding sliders until the things I did with MCCC stopped working.
