Turns out.. It might be the outfit.. I changed outfit and suddenly there were no more jelly shoulders

Hmm, I've done a cursory look in the thread and I cant see anyone else writing about this.

Just started a new game, and I was confused as it looked like my male character had a stretched neck.

I tried going into CAS to change it, however he looked normal there, when I returned to the world however, it turns out his shoulders (Or rather the midpoint between neck and shoulders), has turned into jelly the middle of his shoulders literally bounce up and down before they settle again, as if the mod has confused the mid point of the shoulders for breasts on a female character.

Heres a screenshot of the "jelly" shoulders. Its not very pronounced, just know that I didnt make the dude into a girraffe in the CAS

 

 

Oh yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. I've noticed this problem as well. I'm not sure why this problem occurs, but I am aware of it. It's probably another vertex selection issue. I'll look into it.

It is the outfit. That one specifically. I've seen it many times. I'll examine the mesh and figure out what is going on.

i use a windows software and i also use origin to play the sims4 . its a 64bit  but i cant  seem to get it to work.  could you give specific installation details for my situation?

 

[alexlll]

Everything works fine. Thanks for your work, I found the reason for which I was having problems.

WW have sweating system, so when sim get sweat layer (there are many of them) it cause re-render, which cause this simulation reset

the problem still persists on v0.3-p6.1 2021-03-15
this is especially noticeable when sim do exercising

 

also it's seems like when PC go powersave mode (turn off display) for long time — the game just close (happens 2 times)

nope: it's LOCK screen (just press Win+L)

The WW sweat is problematic. It also removes all the specular layers (shininess) from any clothing. Latex or leather, for example, will just look like normal material. I now play with sweat disabled all the time.

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I'll look into that this evening.

Could one of you guys post a screen shot of what this looks like? I'm not sure it's happening in my game. You can apply sweat to a sim using the Wicked Whims command "ww.apply_sweat [FIRST_NAME] [LAST_NAME]".

 

This is what a sweaty sim looks like in my game, with RTBP installed. It looks exactly the same with RTBP uninstalled.

@CPVC Sorry. I was mentioning an issue with WW sweat, but it has nothing to do with RTBP. To make the sweat show, WW strips off all the specular layers, then adds new ones for the sweat (to give it that wet look).

also what about windows lock screen? did you recreate game crash?

Oh, ok, I get it. Thanks for the clarification.

I thought I fixed the game crashing when the computer is locked issue with the latest preview release... Is anyone else still experiencing this problem?

 

And yes, sometimes the simulations appear to reset randomly. I think this is due to the Sims 4 loading new sim buffers to replace the active one. It seems the game tries to optimize its sim buffers by excluding the blending information for bones that it doesn't need at that time. When an animation that requires a bone that isn't part of the sim buffer at that time is activated, it creates a new sim buffer with the new bone information included and replaces the old one.

 

That's my theory at least. More testing is needed. I might be able to figure out a way to detect when this occurs and transfer the active simulators over to the new sim buffer.

Hi CPVC! Could you make the chest move more when Sim is standing upside down or lying on its side? This is happening now, but I would like it to be more noticeable.

Sure, I'll see what I can do. I'm not super crazy about the current breast simulation positions. The breasts are simulated relative to their parent bone, "b__spine1__" and the simulation positions are around where the center of mass would be. I think I might move the simulation positions out a bit to give a little more bounce. I'll do some experimenting and see if I can find something that works, but isn't out of control, like before.

[EL Dragex]

Is there a way to stop the breast and butt from sagging? Causes glitches and I have had to remove it as it doesnt look all that good. If you pause and unpause the game you can see what I am on about with the kind of sagging effect

dude, you can change these settings yourself with the RTBP cheats, which are well-documented in the download. or use the documentation to edit the settings.ini file yourself!  reduce gravity or some other setting.  read the instructions.

Well its obvious to anyone to read the instructions for things like this. I did and changed the gravity but it still has that weird effect where if you pause and unpause you can see them sag

By the way the commands dont even work for me. Something to do with command server or something.

screenshot on your sag issue, please.  If the commands don't work, edit the settings.ini in notepad.  these are my settings:

I like it

you can see the gravity force and simulation is worked or not

You can also compensate for the default gravity effect when building your SIM inside CAS. I do.

Just set breasts a little higher to offset for the gravity effect outside of CAS.

Whoops! Forgot to update a file with the latest preview release. This issue should be fixed now. The commands were working, but due to a typo, the response from the command server wasn't being displayed. This was because I wrote "_commandSever" at one point, rather than "_commandServer" in one of the script mod files.

 

For those of you who use the "rtbp.command" command, please re-download and re-install. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything.

 

Sorry about that. I need to write a script that automatically creates RTBP release ZIP files.

 

I'm working on creating an application that can tweak RTBP's settings on the fly. Soon you'll be able to Alt+Tab out of the Sims, change the physics variables via a user-friendly GUI, then resume your game.

 

As for the sagging issue, you could try setting the gravity to 0. Also, negative values are valid as well. You could try setting the gravity to a negative value to counteract the mass.

Very good! I am using windowed full screen mode  and a second monitor, it will be possible to change settings on the fly without leaving the game.

Thank you for this incredible mod. Howev er, my male's finger is dropping as shown in the screenshot even I've disable butt physics. Can anyone advice for this bug? Cheers

A similar thing is happening to the guys balls on mine. Not all the time and not usually when they are naked but naked and having sex. But sometimes if you changed the angle of the camera, it will fix a little. I was thinking maybe it was because I had Bouncing Boobs, who now has ball movement and this one and they were clashing with each other.

the ass is still glitching out, please fix it
