Ahmy Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Hey there Its my first time modding sims (I was modding other games before), so I am not sure of one thing. Which body mods that doesn't work with other, I mean there are many body mods like EVE Body Mesh Dumbaby Body Mesh Hiroki Better Body Sopor Allure Boobs Heliotropic Heavy Boobs wild_guy Female Body Details and body presets body related sliders I am not sure which ones can work with which, and which one would make the outfits not work with them (as example in skyrim to use outfits on CBBE you need the outfit to be a CBBE, and in skyrim case its a body mesh) And another TLDR question, which body related mods do you recommend that work with each other.

I only use Wicked Whims default bodies and also use Wild Guy's Female Body Details. Sopor Allure Boobs is also fine to use. EVE might require special clothing but the others are all Maxis Match for all the normal game clothing and most cc clothing. Sliders can be many but I mostly use facial sliders but make sure you don't use the same area sliders from different authors. I also use CMAR's Breast Separation slider. I only use Skin Overlays as they have less problems when updating the game, RemusSirion RS-12 F is my favorite for female sims. I also avoid anything default such as body replacers, skins, or overlays. If you end up with too many problems will happen. We don't need to worry about using CBBE with sims like in Skyrim. Oh and for the male parts I prefer Simdulgence Real Gens Never found a need for body presets as I can do most everything I need to do in games CAS.
Scorpio Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 But I'd recommend to start out slow so you don't get overwhelmed by it all. Basic required mods I think you should start with: 1. Wicked Whims along with Animations like MOTHERLOADSIMS, Azmodan22, and Mike24 to start with and you can add more later. 2. Basemental Drugs if you want booze, drugs and smoking, pick and choose what you want to use. 3. MC Command Center very handy utility for editing sims, adding/removing traits, and controlling many other game aspects. 4. Wild Guys Female Body Details 5. Simdulgence Real Gens Penis Should be all you really need to get started. You will have to learn a bit about install locations in Mods plus changing a few settings in some of these mods above.
Scorpio Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 You can also download tons of cc custom hairstyles, makeup, nails, shoes, clothing, jewelry, chokers, etc. Many of these look far better than the EA stuff. I just make new folders in my Mods for each category and then just copy the files into each one after extracting. Mods/Body Details Mods/Basemental Mods/Hairstyles Mods/MCCC Mods/Makeup Mods/Skin Overlays Mods/Wicked Mods/Wicked Animations etc.

SleiFatr Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Can you have different animations packages in your game? The mod detector tells me that e.g. Azomdans anaimations are conflicting with Wild Guys.
SleiFatr Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Another probably dumb question: Does anyone know why the Wicked Whims ts4. file is shown as incorrect content in the Mods Detector? I can no longer ignore it as those files (MCC Command is shown too as well as Meaningful stories) will end up breaking my game again.

Mod conflict detector gives false positives for many things so it's unreliable and shouldn't be used anymore.

Better body is broken...only the female nude top from that still works.

I didn´t know about the false alarms on Mod conflict det. What else do you use?

What else do you use? Just use MCCC for error reporting to find most problems when I get errors or use the 50/50 mod removal method to find bad/conflicting Mods. Some Mods will have details on their download page about known conflicts with other Mods. Otherwise it's impossible to know about most conflicts before installing. Mods folder organization by categories for all CC like Makeup, etc., helps prevent duplicates. Everything in your Mods folder should be in it's own named folder except for the Resource.cfg file Mods/Clothing Mods/Makeup Mods/MCCC Mods/Body Parts Mods/Skins Mods/Shoes Mods/Sliders Mods/WickedWhimsMod Mods/Wicked Animations Mods/Wicked Toys and Objects etc. I avoid using defaults and downloading large merged files with unknown content. I don't Download custom Sims with included Mods/CC unless I check out the included content carefully as it can contain outdated Mods and odd things. Avoid using Facial/Body Sliders for the same CAS parts by different authors. Disable Origin Automatic Game updates.
