Sims obsessively use objects
I looked through the compiled list of bugs and didnt see this on there, so if i missed it and it's on there, oops! Anyway, I'm so tired of having to delete every single computer in the house simply because it's allll my sims want to do. It's the same issue with having a bar on the lot. I know that was "fixed" in an update a while ago at this point but it's STILL an issue for me, it never stopped being an issue. My main issue is the computers, but the bars is also still an issue, my sims make themselves alcoholics. Note by crinrict Excessive use objects currently tracked in this thread Computer (general) Bar Dance Listen To Music Destroy Doll House Play Woohoo Thumbs Up! Game Radios Cross Stitch Spaceship Teapot Yoga Mat Meditation Stool Coffee Machine Pressure Cooker Ball [SV] Conspiracy stall Please also just don't put anything in here. This is about object usage. A lot of issues have their own threads already. Would be better if you actually upvoted these like the water/juice/coffee/Tea drinking here: Excessive Drinking (Water, Juice, coffee, tea, ..) (Patch 1.58.63) | EA Forums - 4966133 Please check the compiled list as I really don't have the time to list them all currently
Makeup section grayed out for toddlers
Like the title states, after the latest update the makeup section is grayed out for toddlers only. It wasn’t like this prior to the latest update. I use mods and cc and the makeup section is how I apply eyes, eyelashes, and natural lip colors to my toddler sims. All of my mods have been updated for the latest patch. Anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you fix it? The pictures below showcase the makeup section not working for toddlers but working just fine for infants.
[LD] Kids With Grim Aged Up with Scrunched Faces/Body
Ive been playing a new save since Life and Death came out, no issues up until recently. My sim had twins with the grim reaper, and since aging them up to a teen (this might've been an issue before but i didn’t notice it until they became teens), their faces and bodies change after going through a loading screen (quitting or traveling). Their jaws move as far up as possible, their ears and eyes get smaller, their waist, legs and shoulders go as far in as possible.. It’s ONLY my teens as i've edited another teen (plus have an adult in the household) and no issues.. Ive repaired my game, updated mods, tried saving them to the gallery/re putting them in my game, resetting them, turned mods off and had the same issue, NOTHING is working! Not sure if maybe its a glitch having to do with them being Grims kids..? added before and after pics to see the difference.. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ Archived thread had around 300 me toos
Modded Facial Modifiers cannot be applied to Children
I have no idea what the cause is because we modders don't have access to the code you fixed it in, but I can't seem to apply any modded facial attributes to Child sims after the Toddler/Infants/Child body and face distortions | EA Forums - 11928891 fix - when I try to set them, nothing seems to happen and they're not set when I poll the facial attributes again. The code I'm using: facial_attributes = PersistenceBlobs_pb2.BlobSimFacialCustomizationData() facial_attributes.MergeFromString(sim_info.facial_attributes) modified_facial_attributes = PersistenceBlobs_pb2.BlobSimFacialCustomizationData() # copy all modifiers that are not from my mod from fa over to mfa for ml in ['face', 'aged_face', 'aged_body', 'body']: src = getattr(facial_attributes, ml + '_modifiers') dst = getattr(modified_facial_attributes, ml + '_modifiers') for modifier in src: if modifier.key not in MY_MODIFIERS: dst.append(modifier) for sculpt in facial_attributes.sculpts: modified_facial_attributes.sculpts.append(sculpt) # same results if aged_body_modifiers instead, or both modified_facial_attributes.body_modifiers.append(modifier) sim_info.facial_attributes = modified_facial_attributes.SerializeToString() # same results with or without this sim_info.resend_facial_attributes() If I instead try to apply my custom modifiers using CAS hotspots in CAS, then the sim changes visually inside CAS, but the changes do not survive the Accept button to leave CAS. I have user reports suggesting that this does not occur in offline mode, for whatever reason. In any event, this breaks all Height Slider mods for Child sims. Platform: PC, Windows 10, EA app Bonus questions for things I've never been clear about: 1. What exactly do the new aged_body_modifiers and aged_face_modifiers do and when? 2. What exactly do the .resend_[property] methods even do?
[LD] Part Flags Force Transgender Sims into the Wrong Meshes
For reference, I'm on PC. I use mods, but that is not the issue. It's a tagging problem, and affects everyone. To see for yourself, make any Sim, flip their identity to the opposite gender, and dress them in any Top or Fullbody from the Base Game made for that gender (i.e. dress for AF, suit for AM). Then, dress them in something from Life & Death, and compare the chest/shoulder shape between the two. It's hard to miss. Exhaustive examples below. A lot of my Sims are Trans, so I've had to figure out how Part Flags work. For Trans Sims to use any mesh made for their gender (what they identify as), Part Flags have to be set to Restrict Opposite Gender, and not Restrict Opposite Frame. (i.e. a Trans-AF Sim has the opposite frame to her gender, so Restricting Opposite Frame on a female mesh means she can't use it, at all. It won't even appear in CAS.) Thing is, most of the matched meshes in Life & Death are tagged "Restrict Opposite Frame", instead of "Restrict Opposite Gender". This is the result. (Model is Trans-AF. Teal sweater is Base Game, and fits right. Purple blouse dress is L&D, and is distorted--because it's the AM mesh, forced on an AF Sim.) You stick a male mesh on an AF Sim--even a trans one--you end up with square shoulders and crushed breasts. You can test that with any masc t-shirt. Same for AM/male Sims; in female meshes, they get round shoulders and tiny breasts they don't have. You can usually choose to do this (reference Morgyn Ember in their dress. AM frame. AF mesh. Surprise! Tiny breasts), but the whole L&D pack seems to be flagged this way, making the distortion unavoidable. Here are the examples I took, with EA meshes as reference, and a suit from L&D that shows the same distortion. Note: this is not all of them. Trans AM Sims are also affected. I had limited space. All I've checked are set to Restrict Opposite Frame--which means every Top and Fullbody outfit in the pack distorts on Trans Sims, and they can't access the ones actually made for them. I re-tagged the AM and AF versions of this dress in Sims4Studio, and you can see the difference. "Before" is how it comes in-game (AM mesh on Trans-AF, AF Mesh on Trans-AM Sim.) After is with the right tag, which assigns AF to all AF and AM to all AM. Thank you for coming to my TED talk Thanks for your patience. It's a specific problem, but it's also a big issue for those with opposite-frame Sims. Most of the CAS in this pack is unusable to them. Here's hoping someone can escalate to EA, and they can fix it. Thanks for reading.
Can't see color of arm bracelet due to zoom
With this change you can't see one of new bracelets from the Businesses & Hobbies pack while picking a color, so you have to pick a color then switch to another category so it zooms out for you to see it then click back on bracelets to change the color etc etc This is a nice add, for zooming in and seeing it but it needs to let us zoom out while in the same category Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title Removed asset again since it affects all arm bracelets from any pack
[NKSP] [BH] Mentor knitting not showing up while teaching class
I hosted a class with the new pack and one of the tasks told me to mentor a sim for 30 minutes. Except there's no "mentor" option when a sim is knitting. The option "teach to knit" is from nifty knitting, but it doesn't count. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title. It would greatly help if add pack tags yourself + provide all the thread tags, especially for mod usage.
