Hi! As soon as I load in to live mode, the game crashes. I've tried reinstalling 3x, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my log! Could you help?

Hmmm... Unfortunately the game crashes without RTBP being able to log a stack trace. A couple other people were having this problem as well and they were also running NVIDIA hardware, if I remember correctly.

 

At this time, I don't know what the problem is, but I'll get my hands on a machine with an NVIDIA GPU and do some testing. Thanks for your bug report.

After the latest update all nude female sims are starting to move weirdly in the torso and breast areas. I use heavy boobs mod, devious desires milk farm, and roburky fitness controls, idk what else could affect things

 

edit: found a fix in the thread, the problem is caused by the female chest being set to native, if you change them to wickedwhims, the problem is fixed

@CPVC I've noticed you've started adding support for custom meshes besides the default Maxis ones. Would it be able to work with RealGens if not already? I still use RealGens over SimpleGens because it has more choices and it also has a RealChests component.

 

As far as I can tell, RTBP is working as intended with these meshes, minus the bouncing finger glitch manifesting itself on some of the Real Chest meshes (still working on that). Let me know if I'm wrong.

I checked a few days ago and as far as I can tell, it does work as far as the physics. There's still the gap appearing at the bottom of the torso at the back. I've seen other screenshots of this happening for other people for different meshes, and I believe it only/mostly happens to males depending on which mesh one is using.

I use a whole bunch of meshes and yes, it happens with certain meshes or mesh combinations. Disabling male butt physics if possible and trying different top and bottom mixes for females is the best I can advice for now. This affects clothing as well, of course.

Hey there, what an awesome mod! Absolutely enhances the thing. I've got two minor issues, one of which may simply be my fault. I get the lower back torso gap too, but, slightly more limiting, the game now seems to have trouble with male sims with female frames, rendering underwear instead of genitals. Not sure if that's down to me or just the program having difficulty distinguishing between male and female bodies?

The butt gap is still an issue. It's because sometimes the torso and leg meshes are separate, and RTBP targets the legs, but ignores the torso, due to it's vertices being too far away from the reference points.

 

Butt and ball physics aren't like breast physics. The breast bones already exist, and it's just a matter of finding the right indexes, but the butt and ball bones have to be created on the fly by modifying the mesh. I'm working on creating a more reliable method of detecting the right vertices. If you're experiencing a lot of glitches, I suggest disabling butt and ball physics.

 

At this time, RTBP's methods of finding and creating bones is completely based on geometry and not gender, so if the vertices match up, physics are going to be applied to them, regardless of their gender. That means that sometimes RTBP might mistake underwear for balls.

 

 

Thanks for the help, guys! I've created an installer for RTBP, but I've had a little difficulty getting it to compile for Windows. I'm sure I'll figure it out, though. Thank you for your patience.

Still having the " a problem with your game installation " error. I've reset the folder, and only installed RTBP; seems to be the .dll file . any other ideas? it worked fine on my other laptop. this one is a i5, 32g ram, Nvidia 1660 graphics. thanks!

Extract all the files from the RTBP Commander ZIP file anywhere, start the Sims 4, Alt+Tab out of the game, then run "RTBP Commander.exe" (the ".exe" part may be omitted depending on your file manager's configuration).

What's the Mac OS equivalent for the directory and game bin? I can't find anything  

 

Update. Never mind as someone else mentioned it does not work on MAC! Total bummer!

Not at this time, but theoretically it could be possible, using a combination of compatibility layers. That's how I run the Sims 4 and develop RTBP on Linux.

I removed bouncing bobbies, installed the mod as the instructions say, edited the settings file as suggested here (only female breasts and butt), started the game and my sims at first had no chest. Just the front side was missing. Switching to some other outfits fixed that. Then I had my sims walk/jog/go upstairs but the breasts either looked like glitching tentacles moving around infront of the sim 2-3 sim lengths in range or they didnt move at all.

 

Im not sure what to make of it.

I'm absolutely fascinated with how you attached to to all the proper vertices without communicating with the engine itself. Are you still open to sharing the source or can you explain in a little more detail? I'm a programmer myself but new to graphics apis and shaders (came from mobile app development)

 

You can find the latest published source code in the RTBP v0.4 release ZIP (https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/14085-real-time-body-physics/?do=download&version=10647).

 

I'm happy to help out with any questions you have, but if you don't know C++, the Direct3D 9 API, or the mathematics behind 3D computer graphics, you may not be able to understand it.

Would you mind posting your log file and "Settings.ini" file? Thanks.

 

Like I've said before, breaking RTBP is super easy. If the settings variables don't balance each other out, you can get the simulators out of equilibrium. This will result in the physics variables getting so out of range, that your processor won't be able to use them anymore.

 

 

Thank you for your patience, everyone. I'm literally learning this as I go. The development of RTBP requires a lot of research, experimenting, and beer. (Sorry, that last part was a typo.)

Hello. Thanks for making a great mod. I also wanted to make my male sim's chest jiggle, so I added a breastbone to the men's top, but it didn't work. Can you give me some advice on how to make it work?

[aftereffect]

Sorry! I forgot to explain how I tried. After importing the men's tops in Blender, I also imported the women's tops and transfered the female chest vertex weights onto the male tops. Any advice would be appreciated.

This physics don't work with sex animations? I notice it's all stiff while the sex animation begin.

 

edit:

ok, it works I'm just dumb and I changed the maxLenght to 0.2 and it wasn't that noticeable

Hi CPVC, I'm having issues getting the RTBP commander to connect to server. I've yet to try the reshade work around but I do have reshade installed. Although I have gotten RTBP to work in the past with reshade. I've since updated my game. I attached the log file from RTBP and edited the Graphicsrules file as you instructed for intel GPU. If you have any ideas as to what I've been doing wrong I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Ok, Hey btw great work CPVC!! Really! So I found a way to make Reshade work with this for me on Windows 10. Im sure Im not the first to figure this out and im not even sure the game won't still crash at some point but, if it helps: Here are the steps I took to make Reshade work with RTBP.

 

1. Delete original d3d9.dll from Bin folder

2. Install latest Reshade (4.9.1) using OpenGL API for TS4x64 bit

3. Place RTBP folders according to "Readme" provided in zip

4. Place RTBP's d3d9.dll in Bin folder as is, I did not rename to d3d9_2.dll)

5. Run the game

 

I spent far too much time trying to figure this out but this combination worked for me. I hope it helps someone because it would have helped me.

As far as I understand physics works only with those animations where chest rigs are not involved. Сhest rigs are registered in WW. But if remove the chest rigs from WW the animations stop working properly.

Hmmm... It's possible that this could work. It looks like male sim rigs have the CAS breast bones, but there are no vertices associated with them. If you were to add that information to a mesh, this might work. However, RTBP doesn't attempt to target the male chest. This could be changed, though.

IT's prob the graphics knowledge, I've programmed in both c and cpp before and im familiar with 3d vector calculus and linear algebra (I just grad uni with a cs and maths degree) but the applications of these classes was on more of a science level and so I'm completely new to the directx API, so that's probably where my dropoff in understanding is. So with my first exposure to the source it seemed like you just targeted random vertices.  I'll take a more thorough look and do some homework before I pester you with random questions though lol. Thanks

 

Sounds like you know your stuff. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions, but you should know that I know very little about DirectX myself. My background is in OpenGL, but since the two APIs are similar enough, I've been able to get by.

@CPVC Have you thought about fixing Sims 4 shadows? Currently I don't think there is a way to make them higher res and even on highest setting they are quite blocky and ugly.

 

I can look into that. I might be able to trick the Sims 4 into using larger shadow maps.

[mikesolo1975]

thanks for the amazing work.

this mod its just install or we need make configurations too ?

 

edit:  its work but the breast dont have nipples .

its normal  ?
