If anyone is wondering I did some testing. It will not work with Cmar's default nipples but it WILL work with Better Body mod. I think the combination looks fantastic.

 

Correction. It will not work with the better body top either since that is a default replacement. The Better Body bottom is fine to use with this.

 

 

Well... I ran it in my game, testing each mod individually and both mods together and it gives me a different look. So correct yourself buddy.

Sorry folks, I wrote up a compatibility bit over at SexySims that I'll transfer over here.  The short of it is that most of the files are default replacement meshes.  The nude top is a default replacement and it will conflict with any other default nude top, but that's the mesh and not the texture.  That is to say, the file that changes the shape of the body, positions and weights on the vertices, not the texture mapped over that shape.

 

I'll try to cover this better in the original post.

Well that's pretty good.  Never was a fan of the weird shaped gravity defying lumps.  I actually spent a decent amount of time the first time I made a well endowed character trying to get her chest to look more natural, and just gave up when I figured it wasn't going to happen.  So this'll actually be pretty nice.

Looks good, I'm not getting any nipples however. I had to remove BetterBody and Cmar's nipples for the mod to work. No nipples. Can't find any other mod that might be conflicting with that.

 

I just updated the conflicts part so you may've missed it, but this mod does not add nipple textures on its own.  It only adds the nipple shape.  If you have the shape but not the texture then the mod is working and you need to add a nipple detail texture (I use Smoothish II).  If you do not have the shape (or at least, the right shape, it can be hard to tell which is active in your game since a lot of the nude mods look pretty similar to each other) then there is still another conflicting mod somewhere.

 

What you probably had was BetterBody Female Top and Cmar's EA Details mod, not Cmar's Female top w/ Nipples mod.  BB Female Top and Cmar's Female Top are both default mesh replacements, neither of them have the texture, and if you had them both they'd conflict.  That or you were using BB Female Top and Cmar's Nude in CAS replacement, which would partially conflict.

Sorry, I could've been clearer. I meant I was not getting any mesh; texture's not a problem. I did remove all of Hiroki and Cmar's breast-related mods, so it must be something else. I'll root around a bit more.

This looks awesome. And as for not having nipples, I simple took out you top like mentioned at SS and kept my cmar top and removed BB top and kept bottom and used one of my favorite overlays and this is the results.

 

To be clear:

  • cmar_FemaleTopNipples_*.package
  • [bB][Female]Top.package
  • [Helio] HB Nude Top*.package
  • [fixed]LUUMIA_DR_TIT-E_Medium.package

 

Are all default mesh replacements.  They will conflict and only one will be active in your game.  Having more than one does not benefit or change the other in any way, one simply overrides the other.  Delete all those except the one you want to use.

 

I recommend you set all of them outside of your mods folder and try them one at a time to see what each of them looks like.

 

*Other meshes will appear different after installing my mod because another file, [Helio] Heavy Boobs.package changes the breast slider to increase their size and volume slightly.

The culprit may be TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Overrides.package, which I mentioned in the updated conflicts section.  I haven't tried WickedWhims yet, but I just looked at this particular file and it appears to include overrides for the yfTop_Nude and yf_Top_UnderwearSexy_Salmon CAS parts, which are necessary for making the nude top appear in CAS and preventing the strapless salmon bra from appearing on nude sims.

 

I'm not sure what all else this file does.  If I had to guess I'd say it looks like it changes game text to ask if a Sim has a Penis rather than asking if they stand up to urinate or whatever PG-rated language EA uses in CAS, and removes the mosaic nudity censor.  User 0-Positive at SexySims reported that they removed this file without issue and corrected some conflict they were having, though they had to find another no-mosaic censor mod.

I have been running this for a few days now and love it! It works great with Cmars nips but that's the only breast mod I use. I love how natural they look and that you included that little skin detail to accentuate the heavier breasts. 

Link to comment

I do love what this mod does for heavier breasts, it's what I've wished for since forever. It's a shame that using it precludes BetterBody - that one did wonders for smaller breasts. Luxury of choices!

 

I've found that BetterBody top no longer works in my game. I took pictures of some girls with and without the female top file in - and they looked the same. Not sure why it stopped working for me, since it apparently works for others still.

 

I love the shape of this mesh! I just have one nitpick, and I'm so sorry in advance for picking on this, but it does actually bug me a little. There's a bump on the underside of the breast.

 

Here's the before and after installing your mod, so you can see the difference.

Those two girls were pre-made, so I decided to make a new, better-endowed sim from scratch. It's less pronounced on new sims I think, but I still see it.

If it's not too much trouble, could this be smoothed out? :) Otherwise I love this mod!

 

EDIT: I discovered that this issue only shows up on girls who have less than the mid-way point of body muscle.

Here are a couple screenshots to show what I mean.

Thank you very much for providing this feedback and the screenshots.  I only test on a couple body types and only really examine the one so this helps tremendously.  This looks like a case of breast bone weight too low and vertex too far out to compensate.  I'm partially away from my work-on-this-stuff computer this week but I'll look into this ASAP.

 

I'm afraid I don't see the bump on the bustier screenshot.  In fact I see a small divit lower on the breast, one that I know about and have been wrestling with for awhile.  The game engine really doesn't like that "sag" and rounded underside, it's a nightmare of normals not pointing the right way because entire rows of vertices on the undeformed mesh sit lower than those they should be sitting above after it's been deformed.  I discovered the effect quite by accident while screwing with bone weights and have been working backwards to get it looking ok ever since.

 

It took me about 120 generations of minor adjustments just to get the shape looking as smooth as it is now (for larger breasts only, evidently).  You see that bump at the top of the areola on the right breast with Cmar's Mod?  Fixing that is how this mod started!  And don't get me started on the problems I had with the sternum!  Look closely at any of these nude meshes from enough angles and things get really lumpy,

No problem! Thanks for listening to my feedback, much appreciated!

 

I made an edit to my earlier post, because I figured out which body "type" specifically this issue showed up on. It appears to show up on less-muscular girls. I provided a couple more screenshots, too.

Aaah... Looking at all these together it looks like it it may not be a "bump" as much as it is a divot from the vertex in the row lower on the mesh.  I'm glad you found that it's more a function of the fitness slider than it is the Breast slider, that's probably why I missed it completely; I tested the breast and weight sliders a lot but never moved the fitness slider around much due to its relatively small influence on breast deformation.

 

I hope this ends up being a simple matter of adding a missing weight to some vertex I cut into the mesh.  If the fitness slider doesn't end up being Spine0 or Spine1 this is probably going to be a massive headache.

Hi! Can u make a similar mod for the thighs and butt?

 
I already have the packages that increase these two parts, but they aren't so good. I can make available the 2 packs for you download if you want to edit.
 
Thx
 
 

 

Yeah please! It'd be so cool if Heliotropic could make a version of "Heavy Butt" or something like that. I agree with that

I'm flattered that some of you would like me to take a crack (hah) at making a butt, but there's a lot I gotta do up front before I move on to the back.  The nude mesh still needs work, 2 of these meshes are still BETA as is the cleavage overlay, and I still have at least half a dozen more bras and bikinis to get them all lookin good.

 

There's a great deal I'm not in love with in the whole hips region in Sims 4, and it would take some work to correct.  For starters the navel is simply too low relative to the groin, which is either a job for a skin detail overlay or a skin replacement.  It leaves the distance the "waist" has to gradate out and becomes the "hips" too narrow, so there isn't enough space for one to "round" into the other.  This is why thicc Sims' hips seem to "jut out" as opposed to fill out and it's gonna take a lotta vertex weight adjustment to fix.  I might be able to cheese this just by pushing/strengthening the weights for the waist slider higher up on the torso, but I really have no idea how ugly it's gonna get till I get my hands on it.

 

Additionally, one of the axes for the thigh slider is set too high (I'm guessing the Y-Axis if the breast slider is any indication).  They inflate forward-back too quickly relative to how wide they get and tend to jut forward out of the hips, and finding that slider is going to be an absolute shit show.

 

All that and I'd still have to contour the butt.
