I didn't intend to release another bulge update so soon after the last, but I've hit a technical problem with another project I was working on. I hope to be able to fix the issue and share that project soon, but while I'm trying to resolve that, I thought I'd add some bulges to more Base Game underwear.
This update adds a bulge to the recent Y-Fronts and Shapewear options. Your game needs to be fully patched in order to access the Y-Fronts, which were added just yesterday.

The 4/18/23 game patch introduced a weird distortion issue with sim faces when using certain sliders: thigh sliders for female sims, and butt/feet sliders for male sims.
I recently released a butt slider, but as far as I can tell custom sliders are not the cause of this issue; it appears to be a problem with the default game. I've received a few messages about this, but it's something that the TS4 team needs to fix.
If you're experiencing this issue in your game, consi...

I've been meaning to make a mod like this for my own game, but after being asked about it recently by a patron I figured it was a good time to get off my butt and put one together.
When the game added body hair, they made it inclusive - available for female and male sims. Great idea! What isn't great is they made one CAS hair resource for both sexes, so some pretty extreme body hair will show up randomly on female sims. This mod aims to fix the issue.
There are TWO packa...

I've never tried making sliders before, but there were two things I wanted to add to my game - an adam's apple and a bit of a droop to a sim's butt. (I know, I know - most people probably want their sims to have bigger, perkier bottoms! I just wanted to give a bit of age to some of my sims.) Anyway, since I wanted those features to carry across a sim's appearance at all times, custom sliders were the way to go.

This update to my Better Bulges collection adds bulges to the underwears included with the Simtimates kit.
I made some adjustments to my VPL bulge mesh to give it better topology and an overall smoother appearance. I used that VPL bulge for both sets of briefs, as well as two of the boxer briefs; for the button front boxer trunks, I used a subtler version because the texture looked better that way. The boxers have been given a basic bulge.
I also fixed the shadow on the "Cheeky...

This is a default override for the base game feet, using my own fixed versions of the game's unofficially released HD feet.
At some point, Maxis added HD versions of the feet - probably because the original feet are like wooden blocks? - but never made them available. I'm going to guess the project was abandoned, because the HD feet contain a number of problems that I've tried to correct:
- Toenails are a bright, unnatural color
- The UV on the underside of the feet doesn't l...

Well, I haven't found any issues with my mods due to the patch/EP that dropped recently (and have had no reports of either), so I believe they're all mostly working as intended.

Hi everyone!
If you're not already aware, there is a large update set to drop today (March 14th) for The Sims 4. The update brings a brand-new lifestage, infants, and will be followed by a new expansion pack - Growing Together - in two days.
This is probably going to be a pretty large patch which affects nearly all parts of the game, and you should be aware that many mods are likely to break with the patch. Script mods, UI mods, gameplay mods - even cosmetic things such as CAS i...

It seems there was an issue with my gender unlocker mod only offering male sims the male version of the Simple Vagina. I've corrected the file so it should now offer your male sims the male and female version of the vagina.
Due to the way the game's automatic conversion handles clothing and body parts, I usually recommend choosing anatomy for your sim that matches their frame. For example, I gave my fem-framed male sim the "SimpleGens Vagina Female A" in order for my sim to have the be...

There are a couple of changes in this update, so I'm going to try to keep my explanations clear and brief.
1) I've changed the default gender options for my body hair.
I originally opted to make the body hair available based on frame, rather than sex. For example, chest hair was available to male sims and female sims if they had a masculine frame.
I've decided this was the wrong approach, so now body hair is available based on sex rather than frame. For examp...

Very recently, EA/Maxis has changed their terms regarding paid access to mods. It appears, for the time being, that no modder-created content will be allowed to be gated behind a paywall. This includes both early access and Patreon-exclusive rewards.

I learned two things today:
1) My previously released nipple tassels were locked to their respective genders for no good reason. Turns out a set of male nipple tassels look just as good on a feminine frame as they do on the masculine frame! I've unlocked the tassels so your sims of all gender/frame combinations can use them.
2) I've been misspelling "tassels" since I posted them (and possibly all of my life). I've updated the spelling of the filename for accuracy and to match my...

I've updated my previously-released female body hair designs to make use of the new official CAS body hair slots.
I'd recommend quickly reading the details about my body hair update in my Male Body Hair post if you haven't already, because the info is pretty much the same for today's update for female sims. If you ask me something already covered in the male hair post, I'm going to direct you there to find the answer.

The most recent patch finally added official body hair, and with it, body hair slots in CAS. I'm updating my previously released body hair to use the body hair slots, instead of tattoos, for a better overall user experience.
Along with changing the slots, I also updated my body hair to include the six extra color swatches that Maxis added to the game (neutral black, warm brown, light brown, neutral blond, light blond and white blond).

(Looking back at my other underwear, it's interesting to see how my methods and style have changed - hopefully for the better!)
The classic brief has a smooth bulge, rather than a VPL, just to switch it up a...

This was suggested by a patron, and I liked the idea so I decided to make it. A fundoshi, if you don't know, is a traditional Japanese undergarment. I think it goes nicely with the world/features of the Snowy Escape pack, but works just as well without.

I've been working on a number of different pieces of content recently, but none of them have been quick to complete. So I decided to take a little break from those projects and convert one of my most popular designs - the Frank Plus - for female sims.

The hider was asked about recently, so I updated it.

I make Maxis Match content. Unfortunately, players using content that isn't MM can sometimes experience issues.
In the top row of the image above, you can see how custom skin textures don't always blend well with the Simple penis. That's because those skins are darker in the groin than the default Maxis one, so the penis suddenly looks lighter than the skin around it.
