Trying to solve a conflic between Servo mods - need help

[jakemarley]

not sure if this is a good place to post this inquiry so if you have another thread where you feel this post belongs pls let me know

 

so if you use wicked whims you probably know that you can perform animations with servos now, it works great with male Servos cause it adds a Servo themed penis and the accompanying rigging during animations and then they disappear after, it works less well with female servos cause dicks/strap-ons just kinda go through it.  (if you're interested in servo animations i would recommend downloading the LotsOfBots package by Esmeralda for some fuller bodied robot companions and also it just adds a lot of variety to servos for visual and thematic purposes)  but that's neither here nor there. 

 

the issue I'm facing occurs when you combine the Servo trait mod by Gauntlet101010 with wicked whims.  (i've been using the 'edited robot trait' version)

 

 

I tried this in the first place cause I wanted to make my Servos look human but still be functionally robots, which this mod does amazingly and I highly recommend it if you'd like to have Android-like characters in your game.  the combination of the two mods works beautifully with female servos cause it's basically the same as just having a female sim.  pictured below:

it falls apart however when trying to use Male servos:

 

 

as you can see the sims lower half disappears when the servo penis is equipped, if I understand anything about whats happening here (which i probably don't) it's because the texture wraps around the servo penis package.  i assume this always happens with servos during animations but since the servo skin is actually an outfit that can't be taken off (without mods at least) you can't tell because the outfit has leg.

 

 

I don't know how to fix this but my two best guess' right now are to copy the existing servo penis and somehow fix the meshes to work with human sims (way outside of my current skill set and probably an overly complicated solution) or to dig into the WW mod, find the servo penis and try and add whatever trait makes it equitable to servos to other Human compatible penises.  (does that make sense or am I just making things up?)

 

if anyone knows the solution or has any advice I would love to hear it, I'll update this post if I or someone else finds the solution.
