I like playing feminine male sims, they are what I play the majority of the time. But I noticed a issue when I was creating a new male sim with the feminine body type. They have this weird triangle shape on the back of their bottoms; distorting their body and clothes. And I'm pretty sure their bodies were just fine before Lovestruck.
It would only fix itself with very few clothing items and it happens with both masculine and feminine items.
I tested it with and without mods/cc. Is there anything that can be done to fic this? I attached screenshots to show what I mean.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
I do not understand why we ever had two forums for Bug Reports.
"Duplicate" posts apparently don't get merged here, and this Bug Report lacks the MANY replies the AHQ Bug Report got. Also, why is the formatting here so horrendous, and why is the title of this Bug Report still misleading? IT'S NOT JUST MALE SIMS WITH FEMININE FRAMES! IT AFFECTS EVERYONE!
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, Patreon, Sim4Studio, Steam, and Tumblr.
You can grab it directly from my Sim File Share or my Google Drive if you need it:
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:
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
FIVE (5) Creator Kits + TWO (2) 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!
I know, but that one was incorrect too. As highlighted in my screenshots, it's not just Male sims with Feminine Frames. The broken Deformer Maps are actually affecting all sims with all Gender and Physical Frame combinations, but under different circumstances.
If you're wearing clothing that matches your Physical Frame, you will never see it, which is the only reason there isn't a flood of Bug Reports about this. Cisframe simmers will only encounter this if they happen to wear or randomize with one of the improperly flagged CAS items that was made for one Frame but flagged for the other. Transframe simmers will encounter it more often, and always when "nude" or in "default underwear" because our "default" top and bottom body parts are flagged for Restrict Opposite Gender, and a high percentage of CAS items are improperly flagged as Restrict Opposite Gender, which means we see it more often because those improperly flagged "ROGender" CAS items don't match our Physical Frames.
I've been cleaning up and overhauling EAxis' CAS item PartFlags for literal years - ever since EAxis accidentally ROGender'ed the pride fingernails, then took months to fix it - I'm not just pulling this out of thin air.
