This is an updated version of my SimpleGens 2.0 beta file, available to my higher tier patrons. Sorry, I really wanted to have this ready to share sooner but I kept finding things that needed to be changed or fixed!
WHAT'S NEW/DIFFERENT:
1) Introduces the new retracted penis shape, in both soft and hard options.
2) Adds low scrotum options for all penis shapes/sizes. Includes texture and mesh updates to add wrinkles and give more of a "hanging" appearance.
3) Alters the appearance of large penises to make them less 'pinched' at the penis base.
4) Updates weights of the low scrotum to improve appearance of the testicles in poses/motion.
5) Updates color overlays to work with all penis designs.
For technical reasons, this update to the penis beta is a standalone - it will not overwrite the version that I published in April. I strongly recommend deleting the April files, which have 'beta1' in their titles. The optional skin textures/tones are the same and can be kept.
I've kept the streamlined CAS categorization from the earlier beta, but made a few changes. All penis options are currently grouped under four icons, based on flaccidity/scrotum: Soft High, Hard High, Soft Low, Hard Low. For example, if you want to check out a soft large circumcised penis with low scrotum, you would find it under the third entry in CAS (Soft Low).
WHAT'S NEXT:
I'm pretty pleased with the penises. Barring any major feedback, they're close to complete. Next up is some housekeeping - icons, lower LODs, and condom compatibility.
The beta includes three sizes: small, medium, large. I know I'll be asked for smaller/larger penises, but I will NOT be launching with any other sizes. I like penises as much as the next simmer, but I really want to get SimplePenis 2.0 out of beta, and then finish updates to other anatomy: breasts, vagina, female penis, unique penis designs (new and conversions of older designs).
I previously posted about potential updates to the penises/SimMotion. At this point in time, with everything going on with my mental health and my dog, I'm going to put that update on the backburner. I've been thinking about doing away with SimMotion entirely, because I can't make the animations look the way I want and that's not likely to ever change. For the time being, though, I've kept the soft penises weighted to allow them to work with the current version of SimMotion.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
I've separated the files: one zip contains the penis and color overlays, another contains my optional skin textures/skintones. The penises were designed to work with my skin textures, but should also work with other Maxis/CC skins.
I think that's about it - I feel like I'm forgetting a bunch of things, and I'll probably remember them after I've posted lol. But that's what post updates are for! π
