The OP for this is now in an "Archived" sub-forum. It can be found here - [OPEN] Spine distortion on male Sims with female frame | EA Forums - 11727014
Update 7/23/2024 broke EIGHTEEN (18) Deformer Maps that control the shape of our bodies, resulting in our spines deforming horribly.
I fixed it SEVEN (7) days later and shared the fix in the OP on Answers HQ.
I have shared this fix in multiple places over the past SEVEN (7) MONTHS that this issue has remained unresolved, including Bluesky, CurseForge, Mod The Sims, Nexus Mods, Sim4Studio, Steam, and Tumblr.
You can grab it directly from my SimFileShare or my Google Drive if you need it:
- 🎁 SFS Folder - http://simfileshare.net/folder/233883
- 🎁 Google Drive Folder - https://../drive/folders/BUGFIX_DeformerMaps
| Without the BUGFIX - Male / Feminine Frame spine deformity. | With the BUGFIX - No spine deformity. |
| Without the BUGFIX - Female / Feminine Frame spine deformity. | With the BUGFIX - Same sim, same top, no spine deformity. |
| Without the BUGFIX - Female / Masculine Frame spine deformity. | With the BUGFIX - No spine deformity. |
| Without the BUGFIX - Male / Masculine Frame spine deformity. | With the BUGFIX - No spine deformity. |
After fixing it, I explained - in that selfsame Answers HQ OP - what was broken and what I did to fix it, including listing the IDENTIFIERS for each of the EIGHTEEN (18) broken Deformer Maps, which I will do again, but in alphanumerical order this time:

Fixing it required overriding these EIGHTEEN (18) broken Deformer Maps with the corresponding EIGHTEEN (18) working Deformer Maps from Update 6/6/2024, which I was able to get from my simmer friends who, at the time, held off on updating because of the numerous bugs that were introduced with Update 7/23/2024.
In that OP, I said I'd do a thing - I said I'd upload the raw Deformer Map resources from Update 6/6/2024, in case EAxis had misplaced theirs. I finally did it. In the following Google Drive folder, you will find:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/194hO3heyyMuz92jlyM6xU8cAhfYHFgOD?usp=drive_link
- The EIGHT (8) screenshots I embedded and attached to this Bug Report.
- ONE (1) additional screenshot of the "reminder" I posted recently in the official "The Sims" Discord, which was linked in the most recent Update Notes. Thank you!
- ONE (1) PACKAGE file in a "PACKAGE" sub-folder. This is the same BUGFIX, just not in an ARCHIVE.
- EIGHTEEN (18) Deformer Map resources in a "RESOURCES" sub-folder. These EIGHTEEN (18) Deformer Maps were exported using Sims4Studio.
By my count, since Update 7/23/2024, we have had:
- TWELVE (12) Updates
- FOUR (4) Kits
- THREE (3) Creator Kits + FOUR (4) more coming soon!
- TWO (2) FOMO Live Events
- TWO (2) Expansion Packs
And we crossed SIX (6) MONTHS and have entered SEVEN (7) MONTHS of this being unresolved, and it's also a new year!
Happy 25-Year Anniversary! Happy New Year!
I look forward to the day this issue is officially resolved for all simmers on all platforms.
I'm off to continue trying to BAND-AID a different, and arguably more serious and more evasive "bug" that was introduced in Update 10/22/2024 that also has not been fixed yet. Cheers!
