Yes the triangle on the lower back is annoying and it's more visible with EVE bottom mesh

Bad skin (bone weight) at this point.

Everything works fine for me, the game does not crash, everything loads as it should. The only thing that now will have to do all the settings again. Some clothes that worked fine on the previous version are broken in the new version. Why is the simulateSpeedFaster parameter needed?

Update.

When changing clothes, the game hangs, but with the installation of test DHL everything works.

What does the experimental sim buffer matching feature affect?

 

It's an experimental method of detecting when the geometries of one sim buffer match another. It was meant to detect when a new version of a sim buffer was created and transfer the simulator state over. It involved doing a rough hash of the geometry of the mesh and comparing it to existing meshes.

 

It's kinda computationally expensive, though, and not super necessary so, I'll just remove it. It worked fairly well on my computer, but I have a really beefy machine.

Boobs and Bums are bouncing again! RTPB logo shows again when loading game. And everything seems to be as it should with this DLL. Thank you!

 

Good to hear! I'll repackage the latest preview release with the new DLL so this issue doesn't affect anyone else.

Hi Guys,

 

is this triangle still there for you ... ? i had this issue since day one and I was hoping it will get away with the new version but it's still there ... like always even if I create a new sim from scratch. it is really annoying af 

 

I think this should be an easy fix. I'll see if I can tackle this problem before I repackage and reupload RTBP.

I've noticed I get worse/less triangle issues with the shapes of the booties I make using different various sliders. If that makes sense and is helpful to anyone.

 

Example. A closer to maxis/smaller booty tends to have less of a triangle. While using the whibby booty sliders to thiccc those donks up I tend to see more triangle issues. Also more specifically when squishing the top of the booty closer giving more a a pear shape tends to really make the triangle stick out. I'll see if I can find some time to screenshot what I mean.

Alright, I've repackaged and reuploaded RTBP v0.4-p3 with the new DLL that seems to work for everyone. Also, I may have fixed the "tail" issue. Please let me know. Thanks.

I have a fairly powerful computer, amd 3900x cpu and rtx3070ti gpu, the game loaded and worked fine until i wanted to change clothes, then it crashed.

I've installed your mod with the installer and it doesn't work. Logo shows up when starting the game and the commander can connect to the game just fine, the mod is loaded (texture issues with some clothing) but the physics don't work. Tested it multiple times with different settings, also starting the game through the commander but the booba ain't bouncing

just to let you know - the tail issue is still there at least for me and as @l0ngdickj0hns0n already said it gets more and more visible the more you mess with the butt sliders to make the butt thiccer

Install it manually. Instructions are in the download archive. It's just a file and folder to copy.
From my point of view, the installer is actually unnecessary because there are too many different Sims4 installations. Only in Origin, in Steam on C, in Steam somewhere etc.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. It must be something else, then. That feature is now disabled in the RTBP v0.4-p3 download.

If you have an Intel GPU, make sure you apply the config file modification:

 

"You'll need to tweak a Sims 4 configuration file for RTBP to work. Go to your game installation directory + "/Game/Bin/" (the same place you put "d3d9.dll"), and open the file "GraphicsRules.sgr". Find the line that says "setProp $ConfigGroup EnableSoftwareSkinning true" (for me it was on line 117) and replace the part that says "true" to "false"."

Bummer, Don't worry, though, I'll get it.

I've had this happen a few times and what seemed to fix it was to close TS4 and restart it. This worked for me. Hope it helps.

Turns out it wasn't caused by this mod. It's apparently a slider mod issue that happens sometimes.

 

EDIT:  Ignore the lined out bit, apparently these sliders aren't related to CAS, so this 100% isn't the cause. Though this mod does have sliders involved in the commander? So maybe? Either way, I fixed mine by going into CAS.

So, the sliders in RTBP Commander aren't in anyway related to sliders in Create a Sim. When you adjust a slider in RTBP Commander, it sends a command to RTBP to modify the physics simulators' variables.

The installer did that for me, and I've checked - it's set to false

Anyway you could post your log file? Thanks.

So this is a groundbreaking mod and all, VERY impressive, but I was wondering if it's going to eventually include physics-enabled genitals. Because, as great as this is, there are animated breasts already that mimic physics quite well, when animated properly. Now, if there's one thing that doesn't exist, it's an animated vagina. In fact, I'd say that's the biggest gap in the Sims naughty mods portfolio.

Fair enough. I modified my message reflecting this, thanks.

Hmmm... I'm thinking about ways I could do this. I'm assuming you want the vagina to expand and contract with penetration, right?

That's right. I assume this would require creating a rigged mesh. From what I hear, one already exists, under the obscure name of "The Caged Dragon & Crimson Camellia Collection". There are no pics available and I personally never tried the mod, plus no animations were made for that rig, but it supposedly works.

RTBP not use  rigged mesh.

RTBP actually does use the existing rig's bones for breast physics, but not for butt and balls physics. For those, it creates new bones.

I think I might be able to do this, but it's kinda out of the scope of what I'm trying to do with RTBP. At least at this time.

Bones made for the butt work great. What prevents you from creating your own bones for the breast?

Because there are already bones. A vertex can only have a total skinweight of 100% - and not 150% etc.

Ball physics not working -test x y z commands are not executed, does not respond to slider changes.Log.txt

Thank you for continuing to fix the issues with the male clothing/fingers going all wonky. This last update did fix quite a bit of them; Maxis and CC. Still a few that are wonky, but most of them now work which is huge because finding good male clothes sucks. Thanks again for making and continuing to work on such a cool mod.

I could create new breast bones if I wanted to, but it's just not necessary when the existing ones work perfectly fine.

That's right. When RTBP creates new bones it actually steals influence from other bones so that the sum of the influences of all the bones still equals 1.0.

[alexlll]

The only reason i write about chest bones is because 70% of animators are bad at drawing chest physics. I don't want to see breast physics created by animators, it's better to let RTBP do it.
