👹 EAxis somehow managed to break 18 Deformer Maps that control the shape of all of our bodies back in July with Update 7/23/2024. Since then, we've had NINE (9) updates, TWO (2) new Kits, ONE (1) new FOMO Event, ONE (1) new Expansion Pack, and TWO (2) freshly minted "Creator Kits", BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED OUR BODIES! I've now gone the extra mile and listed all 18 Instance identifiers for the 18 Deformer Maps in my most recent comment on the Bug Report following the release of Update 9/18/2024: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Spine-distortion-on-male-Sims-with-female-frame/m-p/14053376/highlight/true#M293677

💜 @xandezsims said I could nick the animated thingamajig. Danke!

I'm shortening my short-form formatting with "Keep reading". 😹

🌺 "KEEP READING" TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE AND NOT JUST MALE SIMS WITH FEMININE FRAMES.

All sims aged TEEN through ELDER are affected by this but you will only see it under certain circumstances:

The distortion will not occur when wearing frame-appropriate clothing.

Cisframe sims will see it when wearing clothing that was made for the opposite Physical Frame. As a cisframe simmer, you might still ask yourself how this affects you, to which I will say, for the last 10 years EAxis has done and continues to do a horrible job at their own Restrict Opposite PartFlags despite numerous bug reports. There are numerous clothing made for one or the other that is improperly flagged for the opposite, eg. there are MANY Lower Body pants available for Female sims that appear under Feminine Fashion that was made for Male sims and cause distortions on Female bodies. They were NOT remade for Female sims. The Male item was flagged for both Fashion Choices.

Transframe sims will see it when nude or wearing "default" underwear and also when wearing clothing that was made for the opposite Physical Frame. The above applies, but if you've got a transframe sim, you've already encountered that issue even before this "bug" was introduced. Fixing these incompetent Restrict Opposite PartFlags is the core concept behind my CAS Overrides.

Male sims with Feminine Frames will see a raised "spine" from neck to butt while Female sims with Masculine Frames will see a sunken "spine".

Female sims with Feminine Frames wearing Male clothing will see a raised "spine" from neck to butt, and Male sims with Masculine Frames wearing Female clothing will see a sunken "spine".

I finally got fed up enough with how my Sim looked that I edited several CC we have specifically to use for me (as well as hand-making some makeup swatches).

[astravires]

i saw somewhere that there's a way to fix this madness? i can't for the life of me remember what it was, though

non-cc for reference as well

Game On! Collection 🎮

The Sims 4: High School Years added a bunch of cool items for gamer/streamer sims and I’ve converted some of them for our sims to use in The Sims 3! I also converted the video game consoles from The Sims 4: City Living and the simmi figurines from The Sims 4: Snowy Escape so I have some more silly little guys to put on my nerdy sims’ shelves :p

Note: There are two versions of the wireless speaker, one that glows and another that doesn’t. They both work as stereos. There are also two versions of both computers, one version each with the streaming equipment and the other without it.

The flag on the wall and the rug are previous conversions of mine here, the freezer bunny figurine is by simbeings here, the headphones, camera, and seashell plate are by bioniczombie here and here, the MySims dolls are by Around The Sims 3 here, and the voidcritter cards are by kandiraver-sims here.

vlad info dump

taking inspiration from ts4 vampires, i am trying to create a Dark Form for vlad. i felt like he needed something scarier than just red eyes and a few wimpy fangs hidden in that dainty mouth. any sim can put on some contacts and plastic fangs from party city! he’s not just any old dusty vampire, he’s the big daddy of forgotten hollow okay, his visage needs to arou-- i mean, terrify all who gaze upon him. ahem.

i’m thinking vlad’s Dark Form only comes out when he’s about to battle other supernatural beings, or when he’s in a full on frenzied hunting mode, or when he’s in a very bad mood. like it would take a lot to make him drop his sophisticated-aristocrat facade and morph into... this.  

his look ~

demon teeth conversions by @vmsims23 🖤 these are brilliant. i scaled up the makeup for a bigger smile :D

vampire face shadows by niobe cremisi

eyes by pyxiis. not 100% decided on the eye colors and style yet. should they be human-like? or dark, demon-like?

what else?

i feel like some large pointy ears would complement the whole sexy demon look

i would like to try these dark stain tattoos on him as well

with some long vampire nail accessories i have installed from somewhere a long time ago.

it’d be so cool to have some huge bat-like wings, a lizard tail, and spikes sticking out from his spine or something so he really looks like a feral creature from hell but that’s not possible in ts3 i guess.

Happy At Home is unlocked but I still found something to rant about: https://www.patreon.com/posts/113187075

☢️ It's Patch Day and the Happy At Home fiasco is finally resolved, with a catch. - A short rant that I'll expand later if necessary. I need to update my mods.

TL;DR: As expected, EAxis managed to !@#$ up even this and I'm still using my FOMO Unlock mod. You can keep it or remove it, it's up to you. Happy At Home is unlocked, it's just not unlocked properly.

The catch is that instead of removing the lock code to truly unlock the items, the way I did in my FOMO Unlock, they instead... did some other !@#$. I think they added the entitlement data to our account data, the way Reaper's entitlement data is added to our account data.

Why is this an issue? Well, I'ma tell it to ya'!

Happy At Home has always had an additional problem. The reason I made the FOMO Unlock was because the INI modification never worked 100%. Something has always been missing, and that something results in the Happy At Home CAS items constantly regaining the NEW CONTENT gold badge. You just have to switch categories in CAS to see it pop back up again and again and again and again, ad infinitum.

This is a MINOR issue, very, very MINOR, but it's an issue, an unnecessary issue, and whatever neurodivergence I have makes it an irritating issue. It's an irritating issue because I know it's an unnecessary issue. I know that if EAxis did what I did to FOMO Unlock Happy At Home- heavy sigh.

Barring them somehow removing the entitlements from our account data, this is the last time I will rant about Happy At Home.

Now let's talk briefly about these patch notes: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-10-1-2024

Is it narcissism?

I know I have narcissistic tendencies - I was "raised by" a toxic narcissist, but I'm not talking about me.

Almost a year after the Always-Online Sim City (2013) scandal of lies and bullshittery, EAxis released an offline patch, framing it as a gift to the community, as though they hadn't pathologically lied up to and after the release of Sim City (2013) about Always-Online being a core concept of the game that the game simply couldn't work without. Always-Online is what killed the Sim City franchise, because EA, despite being an estimated $37.9 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, refuses to invest in proper servers. Folks don't really understand or accept that The Sims 4 (2014) suffers from server woes but it does and it's why going offline in App and game is a form of troubleshooting. It's why the idea of a future Sims game having "Online features" terrifies me.

More recently, CD Projekt Red lied about the state and features of Cyberpunk 2077, released it before it was ready, and since then have proceeded to gaslight anyone who criticized the state of the game or them for their pathological lying.

"We changed how Event rewards are stored with our September 18 update. After this change, we learned that some Simmers are missing rewards they earned through the Happy At Home Event we ran earlier this year." - THE BUG REPORT IS THREE MONTHS OLD. I WAS PRESENT AND INVOLVED. WERE THEY NOT INVOLVED? IS ANSWERS HQ JUST A WATERING HOLE THEY STOP BY ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS?

"The addition of the Happy At Home Event rewards with today’s update are a one-time make good to thank you for your patience as we continue to work on, and improve, Events in The Sims 4." - IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH EA ISN'T A 42 YEAR-OLD COMPANY SPECIALIZING IN GAME DE- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, ARE WE PRETENDING WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE THREE MONTH OLD BUG REPORT OR ARE WE ADMITTING WE KNEW AND JUST DID NOT A FUCK?

Should I explain to the people how easy it is to unlock these FOMO rewards, because it doesn't require entitlement data and it certainly doesn't require THREE MONTHS of "improvements" and- by "patience" do they mean stating the event is over and there's nothing to be done, or removing all actual solutions, temporarily banning simmers for helping other simmers and calling it disruptive spam, telling me they believe "Gaming is for everyone.™" while- y'know, they could've just said, "we're working on improving future events and making them account-bound and we will unlock Happy At Home for everyone in a future patch, please bear with us." It ain't that !@#$in' hard, but it would've required them acknowledging they !@#$ed up.

Say, are we on a three-month issue resolution cycle? If so, can I expect a half-arsed "fix" for our bodies in a month's time? - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Spine-distortion-on-male-Sims-with-female-frame/td-p/13895791

Vy started running some sensory tests on her, from the needle test to the hammer, slowly realizing his darkest fear was true. Arlene couldn't feel anything. Vy looked at his baby girl.

Vy: You can't feel anything... can you?...

Vy got behind her and started pressing his fingers again down his spine.

Vy: I am going to run you a few scans, see where you are hurt.

As he informed her, he told a nurse to prepare the machine. Arlene was led to the room, Vy holding her hand the whole way and eventually she was loaded into the scan bed where, nearby, Vy kept his eyes on the computer. Finally seeing where the damage was. There was spinal damage, nerve ending degradation but the damage didn't appear to be just physical. It seemed to have hit deeper as he suspected. Eventually with a sigh he nodded.

Vy: I am going to ask the nurse to take you to El's room. I'll come to you in a second.

The nurses did as instructed, taking the girl to her twin's room, where her grandfather waited.

River watched in silence as the nurses checked Flynn over, removing the improvised splints and working to take care of the young man's wounds.

I’m not equipped with enough knowledge to answer everything, but i can explain spyke and murch!

These two fellows belong to the same family, Diadematidae. and as a result, have very specific design cues such as height and, for the species they represent, one eye.

E. Calamaris has a very large, singular eye and two sets of spines (fun fact, Murch does have two sets of spines, they are just more stubble like on his model to fill up negative space on his scalp.)

When it comes to species however, Spyke’s is a bit harder to pin down. The english translation of the artbook for Splatoon 2 suggests that Spyke is with in the genus of Diadema, given that E. Calamaris are prone to be mistaken for the two of the species that are prevalent around japan:  Diadema Savignyi, and, the species Spyke MOST represents, Diadema Setosum.

it’s hard to say in full confidence that Spyke is entirely a pure Diadema Setosum due to the fact that the genus is prone to hybridisation and the fact that he lacks certain aspects of the traditional Setosum. However, with full confidence (at least, NOW, with full confidence), i can say that Setosum is his dominant species, (and i’ve been speculative about a lot regarding these urchins, you can tell.)

but have you ever noticed that Spyke isn’t symmetrical like how Murch is? that’s not due to his species, but rather, how a sea urchin develops. 

it’s why his how concepts in the Splatoon 2 artbook show that the eye we see is the only one he has. you know, after core elements of his design were set in stone and drawn out. If you are using the model as a counter to this argument. you’re just wrong. I’ve literally felt talked over on the Inkipedia server due to this argument. Spyke’s head is shaped via the symmetry tool, and this was likely because of how his test is structured. I’m no expert in 3d modeling, but I do know a thing or two about cutting corners. and instead of just, patching it up, which would use more polygons, the developers instead, opted to cover it. (also i learned through mesh conversions for TS4, each spine is just, comprised of the smallest number of polygons possible. which is like, what? three-ish?)

sorry for that tangent, i just really need to hammer that down haha;;; (this is the hill I chose to die on.)

But yeah! Design cues are based on what family these sea urchins belong to. Kitamura and Murasaki likely belong in the same  family/genus/species while Ooni belongs in her own little world. and since these urchins lack what Spyke and Murch have, the rules aren’t the same! Hope this helps!

What is up with kina in splatoon?

Now I'm no kina expert on kina, so maybe real life kina are super varied. But if not, Isn't it weird how different the splatoon kina look? How come all the jellyfish look the same but KINA of all species look so diverse? Like it's confusing how different they are.

The most obvious thing is the spikes.

So we've got Murch, whose spikes seem to be directly attached to his head like hair.

But then we have Spyke, whose spikes are like a shell

And then we have Murasaki and Kitamura, who just look like kina with googly eyes

They are only seen as album art so this could just be a stylistic way of representing kina like Spyke

But then there's Oonie

And her hair is a shell??

And their EYES. Spyke could hypothetically have two, but it's implied he has one.

Murch DEFINITELY had one

All the kina in the band have two

AND the eye colours are different

Spyke has purple sclera and green eyes, while murch has the inverse

Murasaki and Kitamura have white eyes, although this could just be a stylistic choice

Most interesting are Oonie's eyes, which are pink with white sclera.

And then there's the height.

We know inklings and octolings don't grow freakishly taller than the player character when they grow up, so we can use the height of inklings as reference for kina on album art.

We know that young kina are short because of Murch, and we know that they grow to be much, much taller than inklings and octolings. This would imply that Oonie, Kitamura, and Murasaki are young because they are the same size or shorter than the inklings in their bands. I personally doubt they are meant to be that young, however with Paul being as young as he is it wouldn't be unheard of.

Another trait that kina have are hands. However, Oonie doesn't seem to have hands in the album art. This isn't a stylistic choice either, because you can see the inklings have hands. Oonie is also clearly older than Murch in splatoon 2 and even in splatoon 2 Murch clearly has hands, so it doesn't make sense that Oonie wouldn't. It's made even more clear in this piece of official art:

Oonie doesn't have hands, she has tendrils. And if you look at Kitamura, she also has tendrils! What look like tendrils!

Also, it's less likely that Kitamura and Murasaki are portrayed as kina with googly eyes as merely a stylistic choice because making a stylistic choice like that in a piece like this would be a stretch in my opinion. However it's not impossible.

These are the things that I've noticed about splatoon kina, feel free to add on to this or give possible explanations for the vast differences.

Michael: From the very beginning of this relationship, it’s always been about what YOU want. I admit this is hard but I have two good reasons for trying to make it work ... and they’re sleeping in the next room!!

Michele: My moodlets are making me miserable, Mike! How am I suppose to live in this constant state of misery?

Michael: *mimics* “My moodlets, my moodlets” *growls* My damn moodlets were telling me to stay as far away from you as possible but I ignored them. And the Watcher blessed me with two beautiful kids! Why don’t you pay attention to what the Watcher is trying to do in our lives instead of always focusing on your damn moodlets.

Michele: Because I don’t believe there is a Watcher!!

*shocked silence*

Michael: *shakes head in disbelief* First wanting to end our son’s life because it was “inconvenient” to you and now you doubt the existence of the Watcher?! I think it is best we separate. *pushes off bed angrily*

Michele: Mike-

Michael: *quietly as he leaves the room* And you better find yourself a damn good lawyer.
