PedroSF Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Hi, I have a male sim with breasts that I made with the Gender settings toggling breasts on him and all is good until I get his top off , because there are only male body meshes in the body selector the boobs don't look good or bounce like women's . I can how ever convert some nude top meshes for females to males in sims 4 studio , but it doesn't show in Body selector I'd love that some cc creator made a mesh specially designed for males so they can have bouncy boobs and if there is please tell meeeeeee!!!
kdsfh Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Here's what I did. You need a boob mesh that isn't the WickedWhims default to follow this. WickedWhims package is a big file and it's very difficult to edit as a result. Try to get a .package file that only contains the boob mesh and nothing else. You will also need a text editor (I use Notepad++, but anything should work. For converting meshes you need Sims 4 Package Editor (S4PE). To install it, you may need a program called 7zip. Do npt use winrar to decompress S4PE. You must use 7zip, because they use a different compression algorithm. It didn't work for me when I tried it with winrar so I had to waste time reinstalling. Open S4PE, and then load the file from in there. You should be able to see a tag "_XML" next to one of the files. If you installed S4PE correctly, it should contain the text "FEMALE_BODY_TOP." If you didn't, you will see an error, and you have to reinstall. If you don't see "_XML" at all, you probably got the wrong package. Right-click the part that says "_XML" and export it to a .txt file, and DO NOT change the file's name. Open your txt file in Notepad, or whatever text editor you have, and change the part where it says "FEMALE" to "MALE." Save your file, and do not change the name. Then, go back to S4PE and right-click that original _XML file, then click "Replace..." and select the file you saved from Notepad. Make sure to save your file in S4PE then close the program. The Sims 4 refuses to run if S4PE is open, at least on my computer. Congratulations! The boob mesh should show up in your male body selector, now. I did this with one of Noir and Dark's meshes and it still bounces and everything, even without using the force_breasts_ON cheat. Although it gets weird if your sim is shirtless outside of sex. For some reason the game forces my sim to wear a black tanktop sometimes, and leaves him shirtless other times. I wish TS4 didn't group breasts in with gender. I actually hate that they did that. If I knew how to mod more than this, I'd go in and fix the tanktop issue myself.

I haven't been able to figure out how to edit XML files in S4S, and it's much easier in S4PE anyway. Any sort of masculine or feminine tags, any sort of frame or gender restrictions, all of that is irrelevant to where a mesh shows up in the WW body selector. All that matters is the XML, and that is what I described how to change in the above comment.
Oops19 Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Anyhow it seems that male and female upper body cas parts do not share the same vertices. It may be visible if an upper body for the wrong gender is used. So one would need to use a male upper body and sculpt the body within blender to get a compatible cas part.
