wip Real-Time Body Physics (DirectX 11)

[EMuse]

Got it working! What I ended up doing was giving full editing/security permissions to every folder from EA all the way down to Bin. Manually. At every layer, because telling it to do all sub folders or just giving permissions to Bin didn't work. So if anyone else is having the failure to launch issue after troubleshooting all the common issues, it might help to go into all your folder preferences again and make sure they're not still locked down at some level.

 

Now the commander isn't working, but I'm happy enough.

 

Breast physics look good. There's some weirdness with butts, but I kind of expected that since I use CC bodies and it's not too bad if they're larger sized- it's the flat asses that want to turn inside out at the seams. I can't tell whether balls physics are working or not.

Quite often when entering the game, the fps drops to very low values and does not rise, I have to restart the game several times, why can this be?

Physics on men's chests male detected, how to disable movement of men's breasts?

That is a bug. It's not supposed to happen. RTBP must have erroneously detected the male pectorals as female breasts. Sorry about that, RTBP is still very experimental.

I have been using this mod since the original release and have not had any major issues with it before but since the last stable update (I also tried the experimental one you shared) the physics are not working at all and the vertices just get stretched out into oblivion after playing for a few minutes. I've tried everything but can't get this mod to work anymore.

That's interesting... Could I take a peek at your log file?

Is that a clothing package problem?

Removed all mods, and did a clean install of RTBP using the installer + the file provided by the downloader. (RTBP Mod is the only mod in the folder atm)

 

D3d9.dll is located in sims4->game->bin but log file says it can't find a custom .d3d9 so its grabbing the one from sys32.

 

Only issue is with my laptop. Desktop works fine.

 

Thanks for the support. Let me know what else you might need.

I notice your log file says that you have an Intel GPU. Did you keep the "Force Hardware Skinning on All GPU's?" option enabled when installing? That is necessary for Intel GPUs and possibly for other hardware. Anytime you're running RTBP on a laptop, it's very likely that your GPU is integrated and you'll need to apply this fix.

i dont think this mod will work for the newest update. I installed the D3D9.dll file and my game wouldnt even open. i deleted it, now it works flawlessly. not sure if i just didnt do something right or what...

No, you're not the only one that has had problems like this. It works for some people, but not for others. I'm still not sure exactly what the issue is, but I'm trying to figure it out. There are so many variables in regards to hardware, operating systems, and installed libraries.

 

It's also possible that your version of Windows might be preventing RTBP from working, due to security reasons. RTBP is a hack, not a mod. It tricks the game into doing things that were never intended. This sort of behavior is similar to a way a virus might work, and Microsoft's security systems are right to be skeptical of it.

 

I'll see what I can do. I'm not very familiar with Windows' API. I'm kinda learning as I go, but I hope I can improve RTBP's error reporting so I can figure out what is going on.

 

As always, any information you can provide is helpful. Log files, screen shots, etc.

 

For some reason, it always works perfectly for me, despite the fact that I'm on Linux and using a compatibility layer to emulate Windows' services. I guess I'll need to boot into Windows more often to test it.

yeah i kinda got that from going through the forum...i kinda hate not having this mod, ruins the game for me, and i have sims built specifically for this mod too lol. i hope you can get it figured out. thanks for the reply.

Ok, I think I may have solved the issue with physics not working with the experimental DLL on machines with lower-end GPUs, like those found in laptops. I commented out something I didn't think was necessary and I think I was wrong to do so.

 

If you're running the game on lower settings and the experimental RTBP DLL hasn't been working for you, please try this DLL and tell me if it works.

The Result here was a success, I just had to adjust the lower body physics settings as it felt like jelly. (Google translator)

I changed the dll from the page version of the mod to this experimental one. do you have the RTBP Mod in the Mods folder of version 0.4-p4?

I am having the issue where  my game is not running when the "hack" is installed, which is unfortunate but the premise of this software is really friggin cool! I am quite hopeful for the future, I love when modders push the limits of the game and add more realism to it. Keep up the awesome work!

trying to figure it out too

Okay so i got it to work....but now, i the physics dont work, none of them. no breast movement no butt movement, ive edited my sims changed bodies around, swapped out different chests for women, nothing. i just had this mod working a month ago lol no issues at all.

have you tested whether the hack with the rtbp mod folder works without other mods? maybe you have a conflict with another mod?

im not sure....i have been trying to get the physics to work, i had the mod working and then i did something and now im back to square one....the installeer wont work for me it keeps giving me a installation failed error saying it cant change my settings.ini file its like blocked idk whats going on. ive given up on it...hopefully its fixed and playable soon

[SixThreeEight]

is there a possibility that the game install location needs to be moved?? its in program files...if i move it out of program files, would that help?

[SixThreeEight]

heres an update....hopefully this helps anyone. I moved my entire ea games folder out of my program files folder, to my c drive. i installed rtbp and the d3d9 file and now it is working great with physics!
