Penis doesn't move! Help!

[byk1594]

Hi! I recently started learning how to make animations for The Sims 4, so I'm still fairly new to this. I downloaded the edited rigs from the Wicked Whims page, which allow for penis and tongue movement, and created some animations with that. However, when I imported them into the game, the penis doesn't move at all. Everything else moves fine, but the penis stays in the same place and doesn't do anything, even though I clearly animated it. Can anyone tell me what I missed? I probably skipped a very basic step or something. Please help! This is the rig I downloaded.

Are you using your own penis, or a penis that someone else made? Do you know for sure that the penis is rigged and weighted for animation?

I'm using someone else's. I don't know if it's weighted for animation, but the rig I used is from the Wicked Whims page, in the animation tutorials section. So I assumed it was. Here's the rig I used.

I also use the rig from the WW page, so that shouldn't be a problem.

 

All body parts - even default Maxis clothing - need to be properly weight mapped to the rigs in order to move right. So if the penis you're using hasn't been weight mapped - eg the creator didn't say "this part of the penis moves when you move this part of the rig" - the penis mesh won't know to follow the animation you made.

 

What penis mesh are you using? One from here on LL? If you're not sure about the weight mapping, you can upload the package file here (or PM it to me) and I can look to see if it's set up correctly if you want.

I'm using the "Noir and Dark Sims 4 Pornstar Cock V4.0", I got it here. So how can I know if it's been weight mapped or not? And if I do need to weight map the mesh, do I do that on Blender? Sorry for all the questions lol.

Well, I thought Noir's penis was rigged - and I just checked it in blender to see and it is, so that's not the problem. Do other animations by other creators play fine with the Noir penis? If you're only encountering issues with your animation, that narrows it down to your .blend file. It's hard to say for sure without seeing it myself.

Yes, all the other animations work fine, it's just mine, so it's probably something I'm not doing right. I'm going to do a simple animation and post the .blend file here so you can check it, is that okay?

Yup, that's totally fine. If you'd prefer not to post it publicly you can always send it via PM, but here is fine too.

I sent you a PM.
