L&D Trans Sim Tagging: EA Made an Oopsie

Xan here. Remember how I never got into Fullbody outfits, in the original Trans Sim tutorial? Well, I am honor-bound to get into it a little. Why? Because I made a discovery, and it's...not great.

TL;DR: The Part Flags for most of Life & Death are messed up. Trans Sims are wearing the wrong meshes and it cannot be avoided; EA has to fix it.

If this concerns you, please upvote the report, and spread the word. They have ignored the Sims community about gender-related glitches in the past. Help us make them fix this, so we don't have to.

In-depth explanation about the problem below.

I was stoked to see we got clothes for both frames in the newer packs. Finally, Sims can wear whatever gender clothing they want! That's the goal, right? But, recent testing made me wonder how they handle opposite-frames. I thought I could learn something to help with inclusive tagging. So, I stuck Carmen in a dress from L&D, and:

It passes from the front, but...her chest. That's the opposite gender distortion. The one caused by putting a AM (masc frame) mesh on any AF (female) Sim, trans or not. I've definitely talked about this.

I went and cloned both meshes to check the tags, and sure enough:

Quick tagging lesson: toggling Restrict Opposite Frame means Carmen can't wear the AF one. She has to wear the AM frame dress, because as a trans Sim, her frame is AM. (Literally, the Opposite Frame of her gender.) But because she has breasts, she inherits the chest distortion all female Sims get wearing a man's top. The same applies for Erik, her counterpart (AM w/AF frame).

With a sinking feeling, I went back to the game and tried...everything.

I ran out of space, there are more. Trans-men are the same. I got halfway through the AM catalog and ran out of willpower. I'm betting almost every item made for both frames in this pack is tagged wrong. It's locked by frame, instead of gender. With pants, that's not a problem--but tops, dresses and suits will all be swapped.

So, now we know Fullbody meshes work similarly to tops. They need to be locked by Gender. And it's really just that tag. To test, I went back to my cloned dresses, and fixed it with two clicks:

This means all women regardless of frame can use the AF, and all men can use the AM. And here's the result: AF dress on AF Sim, AM dress on AM Sim. They literally swapped dresses.

So, easily fixed! That's 2 files out of...all of them. (sigh) I filed a Bug Report, linked above. Hopefully the amount of evidence I provided will get an actual response. That, or they'll think I'm an arrogant prat for telling them how their game works. But, I didn't break it.

Moral of the Story: this is a great example of what not to do if you make cc, or if you retag what you download. Remember, if you want to limit who can wear a mesh:

"Restrict Opposite Gender" for Tops and Fullbody; this makes sure all AF and AM Sims wear their meshes, and don't end up with chest lumps.

"Restrict Opposite Gender" for AF Bottoms; Trans-AM Sims break in half. Don't Restrict AM Bottoms at all. They fit everyone.

Or, Don't Restrict Anything, if you want all options. Note: distortions will happen. Mark your gender filters. They help a lot.

Earrings, Hats, Makeup, Gloves, Socks, Tights work for everyone

Necklaces and Nails are "Restrict Opposite Frame"; Trans Sims can't wear these from their own gender. They don't fit.

If you got this far, thank you for sticking it out. My innocent question turned into a tagging lesson (again). But, if it helps anyone in the future, I'll be glad. At least now we know there's a problem.

Please boost the Bug Report, share if you found it useful, and thanks for reading. I'm on the soap box again re: trans inclusion, but it's still Pride and I can't not stand up for my people. The more we know, the better we can do on our side.

Finally, tagging some folks who might want to know, if they don't already (feel free to ignore): @sejianismodding @the-crypt-o-club @yooniesim @whyhellosims @thefoxburyinstitute @sims4tutorials @mmfinds @gncc

This is the first dress I attempted, but I went back and fixed it up a bit because there were a lot of errors. It's not the best, it's very plain! I'm not super proud of the swatches, I might put together a new swatch list for future cc or to addon to my other dress because I think the colours I include are too dark for the era :)

I really need to figure out a thumbnail design, but alas i am so sorry they don't have custom thumbnails but they have display indexes so all my cc should be together. ;;

I made a massive oversight when making this, and that's the fact that I put the textures for the bow in the glasses category. I didn't think about this, because I don't use eyelashes on my sims and rarely glasses in historical saves. I plan to fix this eventually, but it's a little frustrating so forgive me. So the version with the bow on the bust is not compatible with glasses meaning some eyelashes will not work. I'm so sorry about this, I'll fix it at some point ;w; I promise

I tried to refine it as best I could, sadly there are a lot of issues with the weights that I just really don't know how to fix, so there's a lil bit of clipping, but nothing too crazy? however I don't know how to go about fixing it but if I find out I want to come back and update it so it's properly refined and has no issues!

Anyways! I'm sorry for rambling, this is my first cc, I am still very new to this,, I hope you enjoy ♡

Dogwood Records 🎧

Have you ever wanted to own a record store? Now you can! Well, in game at least (lol). I always had this vision of what I wanted my store to look like- and I have finally created this set that kind of brought that vision to life. Dusty wooden furniture, neon lights, record players and records scattered everywhere were just some of the things I had in mind but I hope this set will bring you so much more.

To download everything and get some more info on the items + the monthly Patreon's gift set, CLICK HERE to visit my Patreon page (the set will be public on 4th May).

Fun fact: I wanted to add functionality to this set so the records can be sold & bought (when placed on the Stairway To Heaven retail shelf) at your small business (requires the Business & Hobbies EP)! Once your sim buys them, they can be found in the Household Inventory. What's a better b'day present for a sim than their favorite record? There's also a magazine/comic book rack so that your customers can entertain themselves while listening to their favorite artist. 🎵

Special thanks to peacemaker for the stunning wood textures; myshunosun, nucrests, helgatisha and trillyke for various textures + simlish graphics <3

Before I get started on today's post I have to give a HUGE shout out to @eggysimblr and his invaluable help when it came to research for the men's 1700s lookbooks. My strong suit is women's fashion history and in all honesty, I usually dread putting together the men's historical lookbooks as either the outfits are pretty repetitive or there is hardly any CC out there, or sometimes both. Thanks to all the amazing creators there was no shortage of men's CC this time and I had Eggy's wisdom to mine from. I suggest you check out his blog for some great historical content and CC.

Now, onto the lookbook...

The main stay of men's fashion throughout the 18th century was the en suite - an ensemble made from the matching separates of justaucorps (AKA coat), waistcoat and breeches. These three components varied in cut and fit over the course of 100 years. For the first part of the century justaucorps reached to just below the knee, with a wide flare at the sides. Cuffs were wide and heavily decorated. Waistcoats were similarly long, however they stopped above the knee. Although matching suits conveyed an air of propriety, outside of court and other formal occasions men often wore contrasting waistcoats. CC links under the cut.

💬 Do you suppose we could convince anyone to get on board so we can make this dream a reality for everyone, everywhere, all at once? Technically, it's already a reality, because I just did it. <CACKLES>

🦄 Share it around. Tell your friends and your anemones. This is happening even if I have to do it myself.

🎓 SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED - You need my filter override, and more importantly, a new "SpecialContent" TAG must to be added to the first swatch or every swatch of CAS items - this is the bulk of the work, and it's why I'd like creators to get on board so they can include the unique TAG that I've defined for them in their items going forward. Read through my Patreon post if you're new to all of this, because there's an issue with Sims4Studio. I will expand/clarify my instructions as time passes.

🌸 Oh hai @sims4studioofficial, can you add a BATCH FIX that <LOOKS THROUGH MY BATCH FIX WISH LIST> allows us to add a custom "SpecialContent" TAG to a whole folder of custom content, similar to the BATCH FIX that allows us to modify "DisplayIndex"? Asking for a friend.

🌸 I intend to define TAGS and filters for literally everyone who creates CAS custom content (unless the override explodes because I'm stuffing it too much), but I don't know everyone, so please announce yourself if you weren't included and would like to be included. I might also define TAGS and filters for creators who don't specialize in CAS custom content. The (9) digits is the unique "TagValueNumber". Use it with the "SpecialContent" TAG to configure your CC for filtering.

👹 I did not know Tumblr had an @ limit, but I think I crossed it, 'cause the bottom quarter of my @'s just died. Catdammit, I wanted to get to 100 for the "INITIAL RELEASE"! !@#$ your restrictive limits, Tumblr!

📸 I'll take better screenshots when I get the chance. I literally figured out how to do this in the middle of doing my BASE GAME CAS Overrides, CAS Add-Ons, and CAS De-Bloating™.

🗪 @pocketposies333 - A search bar would be awesome, but for us to be able to search for creator names, I assume we'd still need custom TAGS and STRINGS, or maybe not TAGS, but custom "PartKeys"? At one point in time, TwistedMexi was working on something for CAS similar to Better BuildBuy, but if I remember correctly, the post announcing it was behind a paywall, and I have no idea if it was ever finished. Right now, this is the best I can give you. 💜

CC LIST AND DOWNLOAD

[simsoftherealms]

We all do our thing in our own way, but I just have to say this. I have some feelings about cc previews made with reshade. It feels a little bit like a false advertisement to me.

People do not download your cc and your reshade preset. They only download your cc. And this cc doesn't look in game the way it looks on the preview with reshade. Is it supposed to be some sort of surprise when people see this cc item in game?..

I don't know, maybe it's just me having flashbacks to all the times downloaded cc item didn't look even close to it reshaded (and sometimes photoshoped on the top of it) preview version.
