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

Let Me Lick It- KHJ

Pairing: Kim Hongjoong x gn!reader wc: 2.2k Au: non-idol, university Genre: smut, crushes to lovers summary: your newest crush and fun-to-tease underclassman looks a little too good at the "slutty" themed party your friends held. Or maybe it's just the happy trail driving you crazy Warnings: 18+, alcohol consumption (no one is drunk, and consent is given), bathroom party blowjob, happy trail, gender neutral pov, dom reader, sub HJ, cum eating AN: Happy late birthday to @yourfatherlucifer and thanks for the idea and mindrotting thoughts! @sanjoongie (i finally finished it) Banner and dividers made by me. Blank blogs will be blocked

Maybe you had too much to drink, even though you knew you were only halfway through your first glass. However, what other explanation did you have for seeing this? Kim Hongjoong, the adorable underclassmen that got flustered too easily, was here at a slutty themed party and he dressed the part.

Your friends loved coming up with some of the wackiest party themes, with this one being to dress up as something normal but make it slutty. The slutty was mandatory. There were a lot of others in their slutty animal, maid or butler costumes. All unoriginal in your book. But a slutty football fan or player? Yes there were a few but those were just in the pants or baseball uniforms with the jersey open or just off, but he was in a crop top.

Cute stomach exposed, the sport shorts kept it cute but hung low on his hips: low enough there was an unmistakable shadow going from his navel down.

“Earth to the slut. Hello!” brought back to reality by a hand in front of your face, you tore your eyes off of the cute underclassmen to glare at your friend dressed as a slutty nun. “What are you drooling about?” Her gaze followed your line of sight when you glanced back, taking note of Hongjoong with his group of friends, several who were also in crop tops. “Oh, I see. You do like the pretty. Which one?”

With a wave of your hand you downed the rest of your drink. “Orange jersey. He's normally a shy one.”

“Just your type then.”

“Mhmm. We aren't that close but he's friends with Wooyoung and Mingi.”

“Ah because being friends with your ex boyfriend and fuck buddy makes him a target?” She mused sarcastically, spotting the two in question as two with a crop top. Of the eight, there were five showing off their stomachs, one was completely shirtless, and two were… lacking in the slutty department but still hot. Yunho in a tight Spiderman suit where you could see the definition of every muscle? That could pass. 

With a sigh you poured yourself a shot. “Wooyoung and I are still friends. We're better that way. Besides he's with mister shoulder's now. Mingi and I were okay just fucking around, he also got himself someone now too.” You explained, taking the shot quickly, nearly gagging as it burned down your throat. The first shot always did. “Anyways, we still hang out a lot, game nights and getting drunk. And that means with Hongjoong occasionally around. He's fun to tease.”

What you didn't mention was how you would purposely tease him because you knew he would get hard. Wooyoung had messaged you the first time it happened, that the cute man was beating his meat moments after you left their small dorm. Now he lets you know every time he does.

It was fun to tease, but you had no intention of being the first to make a move. You liked being chased after, and preferred the other to make the first move. Wooyoung and Mingi were more of the outgoing ones you've had, but they were still just what you liked. Dorks. Big, adorable, hot dorks.

But now? Now you didn't want to wait.

The party continued and you nursed your drinks, enough to give you a buzz but stay sober enough to hopefully take someone home. And by someone you meant Kim Hongjoong and by home you meant the bathroom or upstairs where people were already getting fucked.

Every so often your eyes sought out Hongjoong, even made conversation when you had gone over and scolded Jongho for the lack of slutty since he was in a full suit. He took the jacket off and pushed the sleeves up and said that was slutty enough. The fact it had your friend swooning lost you the argument. You still stayed and chatted with everyone.

And danced. Sandwiched between your ex and his boyfriend at one point. Then Mingi and his, even with Seonghwa: the pretty one of the group. But every time you tried to dance with Hongjoong, he declined. Leaning against the wall, drink in hand, slutty waist on display driving you crazy.

You were more obsessed with it than Mingi's and that man had such a pretty waist, happy trail obvious, and even if he hadn't had a boyfriend you probably wouldn't be drooling over him as you were this man.

The same man who blushed every time he caught you staring. The same man who stayed near you, or well his friends, ignoring the others who were clearly flirting with him.

Nothing hit harder than when the majority of them danced together, dragging Hongjoong into a line, arm in arm, putting on a slutty show of moving their hips and some odd, but very hot, version of a salsa. 

A twist and thrust of his hips here, a body roll, then the lights bathing his stomach just right.

You took another shot, waiting until they parted before you had enough. Swooping in, you grabbed his hand, not even giving him the option of telling you no. Not out here. Not until he knew exactly what you wanted to do to him.

He called out your name repeatedly, but you didn't stop until you were pulling him into the upstairs bathroom and locking the door behind you.

Another call of your name; nervous, cautious. “Whats going on?”

You turned quickly, startling him back against the wall. “What's going on? You're driving me crazy you cute fucking dork.” With a few steps your hand was slammed against the wall just above his shoulder. “This?” You ran a finger through the light hairs that were unmistakably below his navel. “Is driving me crazy.” He had the audacity to look shy, staging at you with innocent doe eyes even as his hips pushed forward when two fingers hooked into the waist band of his shorts. “It is?” The way his tongue swiped out to moisten his lips had your full attention for a brief moment, but was also responsible for the last bit of control that you had dispersing. “It is and I am going to kiss you- right on the lips and everywhere else I please. You’re going to take it, aren’t you? Like the good boy you want to be for me?” A nod and a soft sound in the back of his throat- that was all the invitation you needed.

Mouth on his you swallowed up the cute whimper he let out. It was cute how responsive he was. How his lips chased yours. How he grabbed onto your top like a life line, pulling you closer. Chest to chest, tongues mingling together in a sloppy mess that had drool wetting your chin. One of you tasted like lemons, and briefly you thought it was a shame you didn’t think about doing a body shot off his cute waist earlier.

A shame your mouth wasn’t lower already. Though you quickly changed that.

The whine that fell from his pretty lips when you pulled yours away sent shivers down to your core. “Fuck baby boy, you sound so pretty. Is that how you sound every time you jack off thinking about me?”

His cheeks burned as bright as his shirt while his eyes followed your descent down onto your knees. “I-I don’t jerk off like th-”

“Mhmm, sure you don’t. Why do you always run to the bathroom after I leave? Making such sweet noises a little birdie has to tell me all about it huh?” You murmured out against his stomach, running your tongue over the soft flesh before dipping to the small hairs that had been driving you wild. You kept your gaze on his face, letting out a pleased chuckle from the way his features twisted with embarrassment and shame for being called out. “Don’t get me wrong, Joongie, I was no better.”

That caught his attention, shyly reaching out to grab onto your shoulders. “W-what do you mean? Did you… touch yourself too?”

Your tongue circled his navel, well aware of the tent in his shorts just under your chin. “Every. Damn. Time.” You punctuated each word with a nibble on his soft flesh, hands moving down his hips to push his shorts down. “You have no idea how badly I wanted to see how you look, fucking your hand to the thought of me.”

His eyes were clouded over with more desire and less shame now, emboldening him to roll his hips forward once his cock was free of restraints. “I could show you sometime?” He offered, still a bit bashful and it was cute.

Letting out a laugh against the small hairs you discovered under the shorts, you nodded. “You will. For now… show me the pretty sounds you make.”

You kissed all around his pelvis, purposely avoiding his hardened member, yet letting your breath fan over the skin. He was getting more desperate. More whiney. A hand sliding into your hair but still reluctant to put force behind it. Not until your tongue pressed to the bottom of his base and ran it up, still maintaining eye contact.

He didn’t shy from your gaze at all, you were almost certain he liked it. Maybe he wasn’t so shy after all? Just needed a bit of… motivation.

Or testing his patience enough. Kitten licks to the tip, moaning at the taste of precum on your tongue, sucking on his balls, all while your thumbs rubbed at his hips, holding him still.

Finally, when you pressed your tongue to the underside of his tip, mouth opened almost as an invitation. One he took. 

With a bit too much force, half his length was inside, just for him to pull it out. “S-sorry I- ah fuck.”

You didn’t let him finish his apology, pushing your mouth down on his length, as far down as you could take him, and just held him there. Tongue pressed up, cheeks hollowed, eyes on his face as his eyes rolled back and he panted out sweet whimpers and moans in his attempts to find words. To say your name. Though it only came out jumbled and definitely not right.

Pride swelled in your chest at the sight of him like this. Knowing you did this to him. That this was just the tip of the iceberg you were going to do to him.

Going from teasing and tasting him, your new mission was to see how loud you could make him. How fast you could make him come undone. His fingers tightening in your hair as you bobbed your head at a rhythm he seemed to like. Taking him more and more until your nose brushed against the small hairs that had been taunting you all night.

“Ah- Shit- ngh please- fu- I-” He sounded beautiful and breathless, his hips beginning to meet your lips as best as your grip would allow. 

You could tell he was close when his whines grew in pitch, when they sounded like the sweetest cries and when his hips stuttered and his cock felt heavier in  your mouth.

The way he tried to get the words out, stumbling over them so prettily, was your favorite. “G-gonna- ah close- com- ah!” He held onto your head with both hands, nearly doubling over as you sucked, demanding his seed in your mouth.

And you got your wish. The thick white substance coated your mouth and tongue while his body trembled and jerked above you, drool falling from his pretty lips and hitting your back. It was hot, nearly having you come on the spot if only you had bothered to touch yourself.

You kept your mouth around his member until he pushed you off from the sensitivity. He fell back against the door, chest heaving and a delicious fucked out expression on his flushed features. When he glanced down, you happily showed off the cum still in your mouth and on your tongue, making a show of swallowing it for him.

“Mmm, I could get used to the taste.” You practically purred out, leaning forward and beginning to lick up the remaining drops of cum still on him. He whined, shrinking away. “Let me lick it clean at least. I would hate to have it all dried up by the time we get to the car and I can ride you.”

Laughter fell from your lips at his shock, once more stumbling over his tongue. “I-in the car?”

“Well…” Your tongue slid up his happy trail one more time. “Preferably right now, but I think you need a second and there are no doubt people needing the bathroom. Maybe they have to suck someone else off. Or throw up their guts. Who am I to get in their way?” Slowly you fixed his shorts and stood back up, capturing his swollen lips in a chaste kiss. “Don’t you want to know the noises I make?”

Like an eager puppy, he was the one pulling you out of the bathroom. Car it is. Then your bed. And many more places after that.

New members of the family, you know what it means!! 🥳🥳

NAME EXPLANATIONS TIME!!!

So, for me Delilah is more obvious, because of the song "Hey there, Delilah." But I'll admit that Dylan is stumping me a bit lol. My best bet is a singer, though.

And also Sabrina and Samara... Yeah, no idea, I am REALLY bad with music, I think.

But as always, very curious to hear about your train of thought!

Also, fresh new pic of the twins, I personally went inside your computer to take it: 🙂‍↕️

Added the SBL tags so fingers crossed people don't see the spoilers if they're trying to avoid them but explanations below... (spoilers obviously)

Alright first up we have our eldest, Dylan Sabrina Delarosa.

Yes her name is primarily taken from Bob Dylan, an artist I think most people are aware of. But also...

This was suggested to me by spotify which is where I thought "oh yeah Dylan can work for a female as well". So first name very much musical because Byron.

They are Halloween babies so I asked people for suggestions for middle names. If I heard "Dylan Salem Delarosa" and you told me they were a girl I'd be shocked (bad gendered brain), I don't want Dylan getting teased by other kids for being named after a cat either. So middle name Sabrina (I have not seen the remake).

Then our next little one is Delilah Samara Delarosa.

*bops head* This was only a maybe name then I was listening to artists I like with albums I hadn't listened to and I found...

And I was like, okay yes Delilah is a top name contender.

Then again Halloween middle names, I didn't think Samhein itself would work well so I was looking for Sam names and I found Samara which reminded me of the character with the same name from The Musketeers who is one of my favourite single episode characters.

Other strong Halloween name contenders were Annabelle, Christine and Carrie.

Will Daniela have more input in the theme of names for future kids? Probably. But one of these girls is the heir. I'll tell you when they age up to kids who it is, I'm curious to see what people predict from the writing when they're infants and toddlers. Three people know which one I picked so hopefully they don't cave and reveal it 🤫

Also please get out of my computer, I have the top secret spreadsheet keeping track of Dating Deanna contestants relationship scores on here!

[danwhobrowses]

My dear Callowmoores, I need to talk to you about the finale again

So spoilers below the cut

I understand that we're reacting freshly to the finale in a more sad light, but I also think we shouldn't fall into despair.

Yes, it does suck that every other ship - including Dariax and Deni$e - got some degree of realisation in this episode while ours got a vague one, we have lived in vague for so long and given it's the finale it did feel that we of all the ships - not involving a Champion of Ravens and a Voice of the Tempest - were due something solid. And believe me, as much as I loved that Ashton cared so much for Fearne that they wanted her to make sure that travelling with them was what she wanted a big part of me also just wished they just said yes, or it was at least confirmed that she joined them as a couple in their epilogue talks.

I won't begrudge those reactions because I feel it too, but I also think we can't let it overshadow the stuff we did get, because we're letting the unknown take precedent over the known. Ashton told Fearne how much they loved her, and we can't understate just how important it was for Fearne to be the one to initiate the question rather than being offered, it shows that those feelings are still clearly in there and want to be realised.

Much of the despairing also seems focused on Ashton's epilogue, particularly that one day they 'never come back', but the context and details of that are also vague. For all we know that means they did find a place, or went somewhere beyond this plane, or simply went off the radar - something Nana Mori was suggested to be able to do for Braius regarding Asmodeus, and since Fearne is learning her Nana's craft she too would be capable of it in time. It's also not to say that Ashton went alone, Tal did say that they often would bring the Hells along, it's also not clear where this was in time - how long does a titan vessel live for? I was always under the headcanon that they were timeless, like elves in LOTR, so it could be centuries down the line for all we know. Finally we also have to point out that epilogues can change, remember when Caleb and Essek would divorce due to the aging thing? That got retconned.

It's just, it saddens me that we're upset, it saddens me that even with about 9 hours of content we didn't get something conclusive, and it saddens me that we will have to wait until March for answers we hope are positive in the wrap-up party and not more patented vagueness like we've gotten from prior 4SDs. But I don't want to despair; this isn't a nail in a coffin, this isn't a stake to the heart, or an iceberg at sea, this episode didn't say or do anything negatively about the ship: the unknown is unclear for sure but we know these two love each other

And there's still the hope and belief that Tal and Ashley will vindicate it.

[byghostface]

Imagine Nika meeting Alfred for the first time (because screw canon, he's alive).

Yes Nika will find a way to revive(?) both of Damian's grandfathers! (trust🙏)

In my head, I imagine Nika would be a bit intimidated by Alfred if he gets revived, cuz he is so well loved and respected by Damian and the batfamily.

She would recognize him from when he was the ghost that had lingered by Damian's side at the tournament. She would know how important Alfred is to Damian and how Alfred's death had a big impact on him.

-[Robin(2021)#6]-Artist: Gleb Melnikov-

I hc Nika can feel the presenting energy of Alfred here but can't really see or hear him because Alfred chose to only reveal to Damian.

It's very unlikely to happen in the comic now… but I wish Nika's ghost grandfather would appear in the future! And see how much he has taken part in Nika's life before and after his death.( dc please I need to see Nika's childhood with her family… if she even still interacts with her ghost grandfather at all…)

I think it would be interesting if Nika's grandpa had interactions with Damian's two grandpas while they were dead and hadn't been revived yet(Nika will not be able to revive her own grandfather cuz he has been dead for years unlike Damian's are being dead in recent months). It’s just funny to me to imagine the grandpas gathering to discuss their own respective grandchildren's well-being.

Zuko was a child when he first met Agni. He couldn’t remember the dream, not really. He woke up with ragged breaths and eyes older than his years on earth. Whenever he tried to drag the memories to the surface all that could be found was a blank space where the night’s visions should be. Zuko knew he had met Agni in the dream because that’s when the whispers started. The next day, a six-year-old Fire Prince burned for the first time.

i follow you wherever you go

[roscoehamiltons]

regarding my prev tag about a merc employee sending the email and my overall thoughts about lewis at mercedes and possible sabotage:

i think it’s very clear at this point that things behind the scenes at mercedes are messy, and that the relationship with lewis and mercedes has been fractured for a couple years now. it’s hard to believe that it has gotten this bad. if we were to go back to 2020 or even 2021 it would’ve been unthinkable that it would get to this point: that lewis would leave mercedes in the first place and go to another team rather than retire, that the possibility of the team sabotaging him is even being considered.

and i think we should consider it a possibility that there is sabotage happening at the team. and by that i don’t necessarily mean that the entirety of merc is actively plotting against lewis because there are thousands of people working there, some of whom have been there since the beginning of lewis’ tenure with them, and have a strong working relationship and even friendship with him. i don’t doubt that there are people at mercedes who still want the best for lewis in terms of results and life in general. however, the opposite can be true as well— there very well could be people in the team who do not like or care for lewis, and all it takes is one, two or a few people here and there to cause trouble.

it might sound illogical to sabotage lewis, but. just because it seems "illogical" doesn’t mean it’s impossible. people are not robot-computers that act rationally all the time, there are plenty of situations where people at mercedes have not acted logically in the past couple of years. it is illogical that merc wouldn't give lewis, their most successful driver, the most successful driver of all time, a 2+1 contract and an ambassadorship. it is illogical to replace lewis with an almost 18 year old who skipped an entire feeder series and can’t drive a road car yet. it is illogical for the marketing team to actively ignore lewis, their most popular driver, in their social media posts, for the admin to beef with lewis fans publicly on the official account. there have been many instances of illogical behaviour, and unthinkable things have happened in the past couple of years. why not one more illogical or unthinkable thing? there have been many instances where lewis has been treated unfairly by the team, and it could be a coincidence or incidental of course, but how many coincidences or incidents have to take place before it is not that anymore?

which brings me to the email. we do not know who sent it and what the intentions are with the email— it could be sent by someone who genuinely cares about lewis and his well-being, it could also be someone who wants to cause trouble for mercedes, and doesn’t care one bit about the consequences it will have on lewis. it might be a mercedes employee and it might not be. however, the fact that it has been sent out— by someone who knows something about the inner workings of f1 media— and is being investigated means that we cannot any longer ignore the murmurings of what is happening behind the scenes at mercedes.

for the record, im not saying for sure that there is sabotage happening. like i said, i believe there are still people at merc who still like and care for lewis. it could be just some people being bad at their jobs, and not anything more deliberate and sinister than that. we, as outsiders, don’t know and won’t ever know the full details of what’s happening and will happen at mercedes. sabotage is only one possibility out of many, but it is not as improbable as some people think.

[velvetsssapphic]

I feel like this song gives me Velvet vibes through her perspective along with Floyd (if you switch the perspective to him at the last post-chorus and the outro) and just hear me out on these lyrics:

“The scandal was contained,”

“The bullet had just grazed,”

“At all costs, keep your good name,”

“You dont get to tell me you feel bad.”

Do you really think this is the real reason why he broke up with MC?

Do you think he still loves MC? After all the hurtful things he said and the way he acted coldly ever since the beginning of Day 194🫥

like, the only true whopper in lo these two seasons has been Armand's credit-claiming for the (onstage) lifesaving, right. which was allowed to persist for not even the duration of a full episode. I don't think I'm forgetting anything here, right?

anyway, would be nice if more theorizing noticed that lol

Hey what the fuck was this quest

[ikilledyvette]

God, parental redemption arcs in TV are so annoying. I am not against them now and again for certain people, but it's always like, "Yes, we gave you a team of characters you absolutely adore, and yes, they are all incredibly fucked up because of their fucked up families, and yes, they've made this new beautiful found family and are happy and healing together—but they won't REALLY heal until they can learn to forgive their shitty parents who, if they're very, very lucky, managed to say 'sorry' one time in one episode."

This is a 9-1-1 post.

Okay, so I asked John Layman via Twitter and got this response.

Side note to all that, but I'm also concerned about the direction they seem to be taking for Roy...

Roy can have some really fun and interesting tension with his team at times, but PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LOBDELL-IFY HIM AGAIN. If they're going to be going down this path, I hope it's a bit more similar to Devin Grayson's version. For all the flaws in that portrayal, it would still be a million times better than bringing him back to RHatO again... 😬
