#Body shapes

[letomills]

A set of 23 geneticized & townified skins, including defaults for S1-S2-S3-S4 and the alien skin (choose between 2 alien options). Also, multiple sets of showerproof versions of these 23 skins, for those of you who are interested in custom body shapes.

This set is an evolution of this skin palette & its accompanying showerproof versions. I reused the old files, meaning that you can switch from the old palette to the new very easily (don't try to combine them though - see details under the cut).

Credit for the original skin textures goes to @whysim, @h0nkytonkangels, Nat / @theboldandthebeautifulsims, @pooklet and Tea Leaf, thank you so much to them!

First, let's talk about the regular set for Maxis shapes, then we'll get to the showerproof sets for custom body shapes.

1. The regular set

The palette contains 22 natural shades including S1, S2, S3 & S4 defaults + 2 options for the alien default (choose one). Skins 1-22 are geneticized and townified, the alien skins are townified. If you don't want all 23 skins, you can absolutely pick and choose, the genetic spectrum won't be disrupted.

I edited some of the original textures so that: • everyone TU-EU has the appropriate fat, normal and fit states (for the alien textures to show up as they should, please use Argon's alien and zombie fitness fix) • all elders have wrinkles, except on TeaLeaf's Stargazer (I used @simnopke's subtle wrinkles) • all toddlers have the cute toddler teeth and babies have no teeth, • teeth from Nat's, Pooklet's and Tea Leaf's skins were replaced either with ones from the Whysim skins or the ones used on @serabiet's Those Darn Skins, just because they're less bright and I like that better.

I also fixed the toes on the Whysim37 skins and edited some boobs ↓

The number at the end of every file name (e.g. 0.05, 0.08, 0.1...) gives you the genetic value of that skin. To learn more about skin genetics, see Rikkulidea's tutorial.

💞 To the people who were using the old palette and want to switch to this one: all you need to do is delete the old skins from your downloads folder and replace them with the new ones (don't forget to delete the alien default you don't want). The new skins are on the same files as the old ones (although they haven't all kept the same number), except for skin #11 which is new. This means that after you make the switch, your sims who had skins from the old palette will update without you having to do anything with their genetics in simPE. And if you change your mind after having a look at your sims with the new palette, you can always switch back to the old one. The same files being reused also means that you can't use skins from the new palette alongside skins from the old, as they will conflict. The only exception is new skin #11, which is on a new file and can therefore be used alongside the old palette without issue. All of that also applies to the showerproof skins.

2. The showerpoof skins

What are showerproof skins? They are skins linked to a custom body shape (or body shapes). When you give a showerproof skin to a sim, that sim will have the body shape that the skin is linked to when they are nude (taking a bath, streaking, doing ACR stuff, etc.). Showerproof skins have no effect whatsoever on clothing, because clothes use their own meshes.

These showerproof skins are for: • Melodie9 fat family • Momma Lisa F / Melodie9 Fat M • Androgyny F / Lifa's Trans M • Trans Melodie9 Fat M / Trans Momma Lisa • Dummy Thicc • MartaXL edit • Athletic Girl / Lean Body Builder

They are repo'd to the regular skins above: you need the regular set for the showerproof sets to work. Like the regular set, they're geneticized, except for the alien ones. You'll have to choose if you want them to be townified or not (townified skins can appear on new townies and NPCs that spawn, non-townified skins cannot).

The required meshes are included, don't forget to choose between blockfeet/sexyfeet/Marvine feet and Maxis hands/smooth hands. If you're missing meshes, the affected sims will appear as floating heads or will be missing half their bodies when naked (it won't break your game in any way, it's just definitely not the intended result).

Note on the included meshes: the original nude fat family meshes are from Melodie9's MTS, but turns out those are, well, not how top and bottom meshes are supposed to be: all of them are full-body, doubling the polycounts unnecessarily (I somehow only realized that today). So that's fixed now, and I took the opportunity to add preg morphs to the teen meshes.

❥ Androgyny AF-EF - Lifa's Trans AEM (AndroF-AMTr)

AF/EF are linked to Androgyny AF/EF, AM & EM are linked to Lifa / @withlovefromsimtown's Trans Male. Teens and younger are Maxis.

Note on the included meshes: you'll have to choose between 2 versions, either "HD" or "low poly" (previews are included). The HD meshes are the top and bottom meshes that BlueHeavenSims shared here, with a couple tweaks (smoothed normals on the forearms, fixed shoulders on the LBB fat morphs) - they have sexyfeet, smooth hands, 3D nipples and are high-poly (6,454 poly for full-body AG; 8,601 poly for full-body LBB). The low-poly meshes are top and bottom meshes I made based on Marvine's original AG and Synapticsim's original LBB v.2.0 (I added morphs with BlueHeavenSims's morphs as reference) - they have blockfeet, Maxis hands and are low-poly (1,960 for full-body AG; 2,186 poly for full-body LBB).

Further info

All of these skins are tooltipped, have their custom thumbnails and are sortindexed so that they will appear tidily set after set in your custom skins bin. If you use other skins though, there is a chance that those will appear jumbled up with mine if their sortindex numbers happen to clash. It's only an aesthetic issue but if it bothers you, see this tutorial by Kurimas on how to change the order in which clothes appear in the CAS catalogue (it works for skins and other bodyshop content too).

Why make the showerproof skins repo-only? 1. Repo'd files = smaller files. 2. If you don't like the textures that I picked for the regular set, you can replace them with your favorites in simPE if you know how to do that and all the repo'd files will follow suit. This way you can get all the showerproof skins to have the textures that you like with much less work than if you had to edit them one by one.

One theory I came up with when I wrote my latest Tron fanfic was that for Programs, body circuitry has the same meaning as muscles for humans. Having a lot of circuitry suggests that you have a lot of energy flowing through you, that you're "strong" and "beefy". Someone with fewer circuits might be considered weaker, but maybe it can also mean that they're more sleek and efficient, "he doesn't have many muscles, but he knows how to use them". Kind of similar to the difference between athletes with muscles for lifting and muscles for running, for example.

So Tron with his many circuits would be considered a big beefy guy, attractive in the same way that some humans think that people with big muscles are attractive. And similarly, a Program with few circuits might be considered attractive in the same way that a slim, skinny human can be considered attractive.

Not entirely sure what the equivalent to "fat" (which can also be attractive, of course!) would be. Maybe having thick circuitry as opposed to thin? Like, "oh, there's a lot of energy stored in those circuits".

Also, this made me think that the Program equivalent to "body building" would be to draw extra circuits on yourself, that don't have any actual functions, but look good (similar to how bodybuilder muscles look impressive but aren't actually that strong compared to other types of muscles).

Kind of weird, but am I the only one who pictures Grayson with very narrow hips?

We know he is broad shouldered, but I can see him having an upside down triangle body shape: Wide shoulders but narrow waist and hips.

Not sure, but it would be cool if I was proven right.

It's really disheartening. For context, I just witnessed a young preteen girl get insecure about her body.

First, it started as she was scrolling on tiktok, seeing a video about body shapes. She said "Wow, I envy girls who have a big ass and big boobs." That already shocked me.

The next day, again scrolling on her fyp which was now full of those 'what's your body shape ?' Tiktok vids. She said "hourglass bodies are so pretty."

Then, the day after that, she said "I want to be an hourglass girly" and "I want to have an hourglass body shape"

Finally, a few days later, she said

"I really wish I had an hourglass body shape.."

I never knew this is how much social media can affect a person's way of thinking.

And hearing a 12 year old complex over her body was really shocking.

This happened recently, I watched all of it happen. I watched a 12 year old girl grow more insecure day by day, already complexing over her own body shape and weight.

It's really shocking and disheartening..

* Interestingly, even before my moments of vulnerable introspection within Wake, I had envisioned these poses before entering the park with photographer skycladstudio as a test of my physical and creative strength. Then they took on new meaning when I challenged myself the day of.

Did it take me a minute to rise up and then stay on those toes for these shots? Yes. But I was determined to hit these poses? Also yes.
