alexlll Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Hi! Thanks for your mod, I have been using it for a long time. You could not add two sliders, the width of the left and the width of the right chest?
Heliotropic Posted August 26, 2019 Author Posted August 26, 2019 Alright, I've added Large and Huge alternatives for slider replacements in the Options folder of the mod. Those of you for whom being a mere titty monster isn't enough, you can now be a titty kaiju. @alexlll I'm afraid the addition of new sliders is a bit beyond the scope of this mod and my abilities at present, especially for one so specific in nature. What you're describing is the X axis, or width of each breast, which is modified by my slider mod; just not in a way that can be directly controlled. I recommend checking out Hellfrozeover's Female Chest Width and Depth Slider and Cmar's Breast Separation Slider, as they both influence the X axis of the breasts. Hopefully between the two you can get an effect approximating what you're looking for. 2
Drewsph77 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Hi, Helio! Thank you so much for the updated sliders. I've wanted to do a Hitomi Tanaka inspired Sim for quite some time now - a young, otherwise slim Asian girl with ridiculously large breasts. Your new sliders have made it possible to use a petite preset female body and scale the breasts up instead of having to select a heavier body preset and trying to scale the rest of the body down. Again, thank you! Here's the new Sim. I haven't chosen a name yet and she's not 100% finished, but I wanted to let you see her. 9
psycatozzy Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 If we are happy with the old mesh can we just keep using it? I am fine with the way things are now. Plus I am not real good at changing things without messing up something else in the process. Just wondering> Thanks for all your hard work! Love the breast! 1
Heliotropic Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 @Drewsph77 Glad I could help make your character possible! @psycatozzy The nude mesh (HB Nude Default Top.package) has only changed marginally and there should be no noticeable difference between the one in v1.5 and the one that was in v1.3. I honestly didn't think I'd changed it at all until I noticed the poly count was off by 12. The real jump comes in the form of the slider (now HB Slider.package, formally just Heavy Boobs.package), which deforms the mesh more than it did previously. If you like the size and shape afforded by the previous version, I recommend: Back up your current Heavy Boobs folder, or the files however you have them arranged, and remove them from your Mods folder Copy the Heavy Boobs folder from v1.5 into your mods folder Go into the Options folder in 1.5c and navagate to Alternative Sliders, then Small Copy HB Slider.package from "...\Heavy Boobs 1.5c\Options\Alternative Sliders\Small\", paste it in "...\Sims 4\Mods\Heavy Boobs\" and overwrite the HB Slider.package already there HB Slider from the Small folder is the same slider mod that was in v1.3. Doing this will give you the new Base Game top edit and the Backyard Stuff top if you have the DLC, as well as the additional cleavage overlay options. If you use WickedWhims the stand-alone nude top from the v1.5c Options folder also includes compatibility with the nude top selection tool. 4

munkendrunkey Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and first of all wanted to give a big thanks to @Heliotropic for creating this mod! I've already paired it with a couple of other mods and the results are awesome. I haven't added anything hardcore (at least not yet), but its nice to add a splash of mature content to this game. That being said, can someone help clarify how exactly the alternative sliders work? The mod package came with 2 folders, "Heavy Boobs" and "Options", both of witch I currently have in my mods folder for the game. I've noticed the alternative sliders in the options folder, and based on posts in this thread I assume they adjust how powerful the in game bust slider is? Do I need to move these .package files into the Heavy Boobs folder for them to become active? If so, does that mean there is no need to have the Options folder dropped into the game's mod folder? 1
Xatos Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 I'd like to direct Heliotropic's attention to this thread here where I posted screenshots of how the bra mesh could get messy. 1
Heliotropic Posted September 17, 2019 Author Posted September 17, 2019 @firstya That's a very interesting bug you've got there! It's a texture one and not a mesh one so I'm not sure how it relates to Heavy Boobs, but crazier things have happened! If I had to guess, I'd say that the skin texture you're using has blank nipple regions expecting the player to use the Female Body Details mod by Wildguy. Try downloading that mod and selecting a nipple texture from the Skin Details section in CAS (same place my cleavage overlays are) and let me know if that works for ya! That failing, you'll have to point me to the skin texture mod you're using so I can take a look at it. @munkendrunkey The Options folder is not intended to be dropped into your Mods folder. If you want to use those options you drag the file from the Options folder into the Heavy Boobs folder. The Alternative sliders override each other and conflict, and depending on your folder structure one will be loaded and the rest will be discarded. Have only the slider you want in your Mods\Heavy Boobs folder. @Xatos What you're describing here is the Mesh Deformation I mention so often in my description of this mod. Every vertex of a Sim has weights that tell them where to be relative to bones. Vertices without the L_Breast or R_Breast weights don't move relative to the breast "bones" or slider. Every top made by EA (or another modder not using Heavy Boobs) has a certain "maximum size" in mind for their breasts that they account for when painting weights. Every breast slider mod increases the size of a Sim's breasts beyond the point the meshes were designed to handle, so things get jagged and ugly. The solution is for me (or another modder) to modify the tops' mesh to account for the increased size of the breasts. This is a painstaking process. I'm afraid that the HB Bra mesh has not been updated since its very first iteration when the slider was much smaller, so it looks pretty rough when applied to the larger bosoms of the updated slider. I left the bra mesh in there as an option for those Sims not at breast slider +100, but it isn't going to look great for those in the top percentile of breast sizes. Dragging my feet on the bra because it requires texture alterations as well as mesh ones to look good. 4
randomchick29 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 My sim's boobs get reeeally big during pregnancy despite setting the max size to 30. Is there a way to turn that off? 1
Heliotropic Posted September 18, 2019 Author Posted September 18, 2019 @randomchick29 If you're using MCCC, the "maximum" for the slider template can be a little wonky and hard to intuit. For starters: you have to make sure that you have a template set for the relevant age group for your Sim (Adult doesn't apply to Young Adult or any of the others, you have to make templates for each), and you have to make sure it's enforcing that template. Under "Apply Appearance Template" the default option is "Manual Checking", which means you have to apply the template yourself. In fact, unless you have it set to "Zone-in" checking odds are the template hasn't actually been applied to your Sim. First, make sure your Sim's breast size value is in fact low by using MCCC's CAS options, going to "Set Body Part Value" and checking "Chest Size". If it's over 30 then you know the template wasn't applied. You can either set it to a lower value there or click "Set Appearance by Template" under MCCC\CAS. Honestly I'm not super sure how the pregnancy system works in TS4. I just ran my Sim through the stages using MCCC and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It doesn't change the Chest Size value, and if your Sim is at Chest Size 100 it has no effect. It's like its own slider modifier that makes whatever Chest Size value you're at approach the appearance of Chest Size 100. As a temporary solution I'd suggest to manually set the Chest Size value really low until pregnancy is over, though it seems that even at -100 a Sim's breasts remain pretty considerable. I'll do some hunting to see if I can come up with the game asset controlling this. If I can find it I can probably mute the effect, the only problem is finding it as I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.
munkendrunkey Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks for the info Heliotropic. I'm sticking with the default slider for now. While the others are fun to play with for a few minutes, as you've mentioned massive boobs don't really work well with a lot of the clothing types. There is also the visual inconsistencies which of course isn't an issue with your mod as much as it is the game's coding. Sim dev's never intended for female sim boobs to be that big! The default slider hits the sweet spot from what I've seen so far. Bigger boobs without taking away from anything else visually. Your mod also plays generally well with other mods. Thanks for your continued work! 1
GeorgeGuest Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 So after uninstalling this mod my sims continue to have the breasts from this mod, any idea why?
Heliotropic Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 @GeorgeGuest if your Sims look the same before and after installing Heavy Boobs either it was never installed or it hasn't been removed. If by "[my Sims] have the breasts from this mod" you mean they have larger than vanilla breasts for all outfits that means you have a breast slider mod somewhere in your mods folder, either from my mod or another one. My slider mod was previously called [Helio] Heavy Boobs.package and is now [Helio] HB Slider.package. If either of those files are anywhere in your Mods folder that'll be the culprit. It's possible, however, that you had a conflicting slider mod preventing my slider mod from ever loading. The most common alternative breast slider mod I know of is EVOL_EVOLVED's Breast Augmentation mod. If that or any other slider mod is in your mods folder odds are my slider mod was never actively loaded in your game in the first place, and after removing my mod you still see the mod that was active all along. If you mean that my nude mesh (default or stand alone) is appearing in your game, that means those files are still in your mods folder somewhere. However, like my slider mod, it's possible you have another default nude mesh replacement that was overriding my mod and the HB default nude mesh may never have been active in your game. I can be very hard to tell nude meshes apart, and it's possible you have another one kicking around your mods folder somewhere. If you're positive that no files from my mod remain anywhere in your Mods folder, and that no other mod that does a similar thing is there, then my or some similar mod is bundled with another mod you have. If that's the case you'll need to troubleshoot your mods to zero in on the culprit. To do this: Go to your ...\The Sims 4\Mods\ folder and move all the files there into a temporary folder elsewhere, like on your desktop Take half of the files from the temporary folder and move them back into your ...\Mods\ folder If it's a nude mesh problem, you'll need to make sure you include a mosaic sensor removal mod to see if the problem persists Load the game and check if the undesired mod is active. If it is, cut your \Mods\ folder in half again, otherwise move the untested half of your original \Mods\ folder back into your \Mods\ folder Keep testing and cutting your \Mods\ folder in half until you isolate the problem mod 1
GeorgeGuest Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 So it appears to be that through a fresh mod install that TURBODRIVER_WickedWHims_Tuning.package is the culprit. Even on its own it still does this. But after looking at the pictures for this one more time I'm not sure if they actually are heavy boobs. Can I get a confirmation on this?

WickedWhims does in fact have it's own breast mech that it defauts to. You need to use the body selector to get to others. I can't say definitively, but I think it has the same sort of "banana" shape of the default WW breasts. If you want your default, in the Body Selector you can pick Native (which would get you either EA or if you have a Default Replacement). The Body Selector can also help you pick from other non-DR breast meshes you have installed so different Sims can have different ones. Remember it doesn't adjust clothes, just naked. 1
GeorgeGuest Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I've already tried using the body selector and sadly that doesn't change a thing.
0wnyx Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 my fear is, if i download this mod - it instantly changes the boobs for every sim in my safe game (which i dont want). is there a way around that problem ?

This is easy to avoid if you are using WickedWhims. If you are using WW, it defaults to the WW breast meshes and needs to be changed from that to show for any particular Sim. So even if you install the DR (Default Replacement) package, it will still only show if you manually change sims to Native. And if you just install the selectable packages, then even Native isn't touched, just new options in the body selector. If you are not using WickedWhims, then there is no body selector, and the DR will affect all of your Sims. But if you're on this site, my guess is you are using WW. 3
