🚧 [BG] "EnterBathing" Override -- [4/4] 💀 Old fears confirmed, and did I stumble onto the cause of all of this? 🙀 HOLD MY IMAGINARY SOUR SKITTLES! I need to check something.

THE BUGWATCH FOR THIS BAND-AID IS A MESS, SORRY. I will overhaul it when I have the time - https://../posts/117488610

I HAVE ANOTHER FUNCTIONING BAND-AID FOR THIS. It's my "NudePart Underwear Override" - https://../posts/117470145

—

This mod has evolved beyond being a BAND-AID for EAxis' incompetent bullshit. As someone who regularly troubleshoots the game, I have had a dream of creating a collection of troubleshooting mods. This dream was reignited when I started working on my Boutique, because I started learning how to manipulate outfits in-game through interactions. This mod is the first - and hopefully not the last - wonder to emerge from this new world.

I mean to usurp LMS' adopted "Reset Bathing Outfit" mod as the last mod you'll ever need for all your Nude/Bathing Outfit woes. 👹

Never again will improperly flagged custom content break nudity. 😺

Never again will EAxis break nudity. 😾

Never again will you need to do anything to fix nudity because it will fix itself. 🙀

NO TS4SCRIPT REQUIRED!

WHAT MACHINATIONS I WROUGHT!

I AM THE ROCKET SCIENTIST! I AM A GOD AMONGST FLIES!

I AM TOTALLY HAVING A MOMENT! <CACKLES MANIACALLY> 😹

F.Y.I. The code for this that I've cobbled together and modified to make work under the various "EnterBathing" circumstances is already in the game and used for other things, Elsweyr. EAxis could have changed the way our Nude/Bathing Outfit works AGES ago

—

Update 10/22/2024 broke some !@#$. Our underwear is just one part of it.

Like with our broken spines, this is still being improperly reported as "an underwear bug". Let's be clear, my issue is not with simmers not understanding what's happening - my issue is with EAxis misleading us about the severity of "bugs".

This is not an underwear "bug". The broken underwear is a symptom of a more serious broken thing that is taking various internal outfit-related functions with it.

One of these functions is "automatic outfit switching" - this is any time the game automatically switches your outfit, including when using "Change into Nude" but excluding when using the "Change Outfit..." outfit picker interaction. Automatic outfit switching is breaking the Nude/Bathing outfit, or it's breaking the OutfitCategory definitions, or it's breaking the NudePart Tag definitions - I still cannot say what exactly is happening, but something is happening and it ain't nothing good.

I consider this to be a more serious issue than our broken spines (because that was easily BUGFIXED) and more serious than most of the !@#$ EAxis has prioritized fixing over the past FOUR (4), going on FIVE (5), months that this has been broken.

This bothers me more than the (past tense) now-broken children's bodies. It hinders my ability to play because while I do not fully understand it, I know for a fact that new games are not automatically affected by it - but once it triggers, it will save to the saved game the next time you save the game.

⋆⋅ PROGRESSION - THIS AIN'T A CHANGE-LOG:

🙀 4/4/2025 #2 - WHAT EXACTLY DOES MY [DISCONTINUED] OVERRIDE DO?!

Does it actually band-aid this properly? I know it does SOMETHING because for months after this "bug" was introduced, I did not experience it, and it was because of the [DISCONTINUED] override. Was that override removing a link in the chain that tells the game that the NudeParts are not "VALID_FOR_LIVE"?! Please don't tell me I've been sitting on the easy band-aid all this time! Or do, 'cause it would mean that I am indeed awesome even when I don't realize it! 😹

💀 4/4/2025 #1 - OLD FEARS CONFIRMED AND IS THIS A "VALID_FOR_LIVE" ISSUE?

My mind is all over the place right now. I apologize if any of this is incoherent.

The troubleshooting I mentioned in the previous entry was to investigate two concerns that the little work I did with mannequins raised:

• The first thing is the revelation that even though my override is regenerating the Nude/Bathing Outfit in Live Mode, the "BATHING" outfit that saved to Scarlet's SimInfo data contained the improper underwear. If you haven't worked with SimInfo, you won't fully understand what I'm talking about, but indulge me anyway. This doesn't mean that I scrap what I'm doing, it just means that there's more work to do after the upcoming "Initial Release". <HEAVY SIGH> 💀 This confirms "the old fear." The Nude/Bathing Outfit part of this "bug" is saving to our sim's SimInfo data (and therefore saving to the saved game). Even if EAxis fixed what's broken, your Nude/Bathing Outfits - yours and every other sims' in your saved game - would remain broken, and every sim uploaded to the Gallery from Live Mode contains the improper underwear. Ain't life grand? Console simmers are !@#$ed even if this gets officially fixed unless EAxis does something like what I'm doing or incorporates the "Reset Bathing Outfit" cheat into the game.

• The second thing had a positive result, thank goodness. I am not creating a bunch of "junk" outfits in our sim's SimInfo data. If I was, then we would have had to revise everything again, because "junk" outfits would have meant a never-ending increase in file size for your sims and saved games.

It's possible that my override is properly regenerating the SimInfo "BATHING" outfit and it just "broke again" before I saved Live Scarlet to Tray/Library (when they did the "change clothes spin" before entering CAS). I need to do more troubleshooting. I need to figure out how to save Live Scarlet without any automatic outfit switching occurring, to verify whether or not I am indeed regenerating our SimInfo "BATHING" outfit - my code is supposed to. There's also a bit of code that exists specifically to remove outfits. I will look into tacking it onto my override.

Re-enter LMS' "Reset Bathing Outfit". It is coded to delete this SimInfo "BATHING" outfit. HOWEVER, it will only be useful IF my override isn't regenerating our SimInfo "BATHING" outfit and IF EAxis ever fixes the underlying problem, because if you've used "RBO" to band-aid this, you'd already know that it doesn't "fix" the problem and the underwear just keeps coming back over and over again, ad infinitum.

Which brings us to "USE_VALID_FOR_LIVE_RANDOM".

I don't have a manual here, but if I'm understanding that command/function properly, then there are certain CAS items NOT considered "valid" for randomization due to their PartFlags, Tags, or Buffs - like the NudeParts. Makes sense, right?

I mentioned embracing NudePart CLONES for this iteration, HOWEVER, while trying to make Nudist/Streaker Walkbys work with the mosaic censor, I was able to make make my override work with EAxis' unmodified NudeParts, but it required removing the "VALID_FOR_LIVE" command/function from the "outfit generator".

I have seen the contents of some of those PYTHON scripts that are squirreled away in our INSTALL FOLDER. I would need to verify this, but IIRC, that command/function was added to the PYTHON scripts that control outfit generation in Update 10/22/2024. If those scripts can't use the NudeParts because they're not "VALID_FOR_LIVE", then wouldn't our Nude/Bathing Outfit break? I can try to confirm this on my end at a later time.

⚡ 4/3/2025 #1 - THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THOSE MANNEQUINS...

... the more I think that path won't help here. I kinda understand why the Nude/Bathing Outfit is not defined, at least not in the way I've done it with "Jane" the mannequin. For mannequins it works because they don't age and they're cisframe. The thing is though, the Nude/Bathing Outfit could theoretically be configured to regenerate itself the same way other outfits do. This path leads to "fixing" the problem at the source, which I don't think is possible without PYTHON decompiling. In other words, it's a dead end right now.

I'm in the middle of troubleshooting something else that- is it possible that I stumbled onto part what's broken and didn't realize it?

⚡ 4/1/2025 #1 - LET'S TALK ABOUT STREAKING AND HOLIDAY NUDISTS...

The big issue I've spent the last couple days fixing was that some of my code was "evading" the mosaic censor - remember that "this ain't the Nude/Bathing Outfit" thing? Yeah. That was not intended. I've resolved the issue for the most part, though I still have those remaining (7) interactions to finish up, and who knows what could happen.

The "Go Streaking" interaction works fine, but there are caveats with the Nudist/Streaking Holiday Tradition Walkbys.

The problem is that it's a different Tuning resource altogether. Everything else is "Interactions" and "Postures" and this one is a "Situation Job", and it appears that I can only bend the "Situation Job" code that controls the outfit a tiny bit.

I can code this a few ways, and we might do variants:

• I could just ignore this Holiday Tradition and leave these walkby sims in the sorry state they're in. Who even uses this Holiday Tradition? If I do nothing, all walkby sims will always wear their bugged out underwear under the mosaic censor.

• I could make walkby sims wear their swimwear and just do away with the mosaic censor and the busted Nude/Bathing Outfit because... hey, I love all the nudity, but this appears to have been half-arsed. There's nothing preventing kids from spawning, which means everyone gets all embarrassed and there are no Buffs to prevent adults gasping at other adults. It's not at all like the "Clothing Optional" Lot Trait.

• I can ensure the mosaic censor works as it's supposed to, but the trade off is that a few walkby sims will wear the bugged out default underwear under the mosaic censor. It's not Becca, it's random. It is what it is.

• Enter Sandy Claws and that first screenshot I shared for this Holiday Tradition - I can totes make them all proper nude, but the mosaic censor (if not mod-disabled) will not appear on any of these walkby sims for this specific Holiday Tradition, ever. Never, ever, never. They will be nude always, for all time, as long as the Holiday Tradition is active.

⚡ 3/31/2025 #1 - KITTY TOTES SOLVED THE SHOWER IN THE RAIN DOUBLE SPIN ISSUE!

Moi: I finally found the bit of code I was looking for, but it doesn't work! Should I try it down there instead? <TO KITTY WHILE GIVING HEAD SCRATCHES>

Kitty: <ENJOYS HEAD SCRATCHES>

Moi: I agree, kitty. I agree!

Moi: <ONE RESUME LATER> Holy !@#$, it works! Thank you, kitty!

⚡ 3/30/2025 #1 - [X] HOURS LATER... I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, BABY!

I pointed out something in my Sunbathing BUGWATCH - some of my EnterBathing modifications aren't actually using the Nude/Bathing Outfit. You can tell by the SimBust. The SimBust that appears with Everyday Outfit 0 when nude is supposedly the Nude/Bathing Outfit. The SimBust that appears nude is not the Nude/Bathing Outfit. The latter appears to be a temporary outfit some of my code is creating. I've suspected this for a while and intended to troubleshoot before release, but my Sunbathing troubleshoot confirmed it ahead of schedule. So, what's the problem? Well, that temporary outfit don't give no !@#$s about "CensorTuning", meaning those specific interactions make the sim appear fully nude, no censor, with or without a censor remover. While nudity isn't something that bothers me, it ain't exactly intended, so I went over my code and I've successfully revised (21) of the (30) of the (37) Tuning resources I've modified.

"Skinny Dip" was a pain in the arse yet again. If I was more confident in my understanding of this code, I'd plainly accuse EAxis of either half-arsing or convoluting these "Skinny Dip" interactions, 'cause something ain't right here. Of course, we can chalk this up to me removing EnterBathing and replacing it with code that EAxis didn't define to be used like this.

Another issue I noticed and resolved was that those "Jump Dive" interactions I was all excited about were permanently replacing Everyday Outfit 0 with the Nude/Bathing Outfit, which ain't supposed to be possible without specific code that obviously isn't part of my modification. This odd revelation might be useful for my WIP Boutique, but it ain't what we needed here. It's fixed now.

I'm off to revise those other (9) Tuning resources, then work on the remaining (7). I'd love to get this done "today" (3/31/2025).

⚡ 3/29/2025 #2 - PFFT, IT WAS ME. I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION.

"Swan Dive" actually isn't 100% identical, it's like 97% identical, and I wasn't paying attention to the 3% difference. Is all good now. This "Jump Dive" code is real nice. The extra XEVT bit is the part that makes it "oh, so special". I don't know yet if it's applicable to "Skinny Dip", but this is what I was trying to figure out for "Skinny Dip". It might solve all the problems, or it'll do nothing. 😹

The underlying issue with "Skinny Dip" is that it ain't triggering the code during that first "change clothes" animation. The XEVT command/function exists specifically for the purpose of forcing things to happen before or after animations play in these situations. Fingers crossed. I'm pressing forward, then will circle back around.

SEVEN (7) Tuning resources remain, and one is for ponies. I don't think ponies have underwear, so I don't think I need to do anything there. Apparently, the interaction to brush a pony's coat will automatically remove any accessories they're wearing by executing EnterBathing. At the very least, it's an excuse to play with a pony again!

⚡ 3/29/2025 #1 - DON'T BE A MENACE WHILE SWAN DIVING!

Seriously, why? "Swan Dive" is identical to the other (3) dive platform interactions, so why does modifying it break the bloody interaction?! Maybe it was a S4S thing. I did just download the new version - also, Strings are apparently fixed so I'ma update my POLYGOT String Overrides today!

⚡ 3/27/2025 #2 - STREAKING HOLIDAY TRADITION IS IN THE BAG!

In my test, the "Go Streaking" interaction worked, but I didn't fix the interaction yet so it might be because I triggered multiple interactions that reset the Nude/Bathing outfit beforehand. I need a proper test to verify, which means no frisky bidness in the hot tub, Johnny! No Welcoming my Wagon! I'm gonna break that event for the next test!

🎙️ Someone's about to see "mommy" kissing Sandy Claws!
🎙️ Or do you prefer the older version from The Ronettes?

🐞 3/27/2025 #1 - IS "RELAX IN THE NUDE" MISSING FOR A REASON?

Or did EAxis just "accidentally" remove it? I remember there was an issue with Saunas/Steam Rooms when EP16 Lovestruck released - EAxis broke... y'know I haven't checked if they ever fixed Sauna/Steam Room WooHoo.

What do I do here? I modified EnterBathing. The interaction works fine. Do I include the necessary modifications to re-enable the interaction or do I toss it into a separate BUGFIX in case there's some valid reason it was removed that I'm just not seeing?

This delayed progress for hours because I needed to know what the heck was going on.

⚡ 3/26/2025 #3 - I'VE HAD SOME HICCUPS THANKS TO...

... EAxis' obsession with animations interrupting animations. I noticed one instance of a bra bugging out with a Bath Soak at the Spa. When the sim got out the tub, the Nude/Bathing outfit reset itself properly and it didn't happen with any other female sims.

<GRINDS TEETH> My override ain't foolproof, the fool being EAxis. It fixes itself, but there are still instances where it might bug out for an action due to overlapping animations breaking each other. This is irksome. I am irked.

⚡ 3/26/2025 #2 - SKINNY DIPPING NEEDS MORE TLC.

I decided to check Skinny Dip in the ocean after my final Sunbathing test before napping.

First test went fine, second test bugged out because EAxis shoved the phone in my hand, breaking the animation where I put on my swimwear and thus leaving me in the bugged out underwear for the duration of the action. I immediately Skinny Dipped again after leaving the water, and it worked fine. That "grace period" where it's EnterBathing before triggering the interaction code is a pain in my bare butt.

I'll poke around it some more after fixing a few more of the outstanding interactions.

(15+2) remain. the (+2) are the Streaking stuff modified but haven't checked yet.

⚡ 3/26/2025 #1 - SUNBATHING WAS EASY PEASY!

Why can't we Moonbathe in the nude and why don't Sunbathe interactions turn into Moonbathe interactions at night?

ALSO, I'm doing an Animation Override to give Moonbathe the Sunbathe animation, providing it works fine.

⚡ 3/25/2025 #2 - I DOUBT I BROKE SWIMWEAR.

I'll verify just to be sure... when I'm done.

⚡ 3/25/2025 #1 - SHE DIDN'T EVEN PICK UP THE TRASH! NAH, BRUV, DIS IS WAR!

SMH! Anyway! Shower Nude at the waterfall is done. I skipped Streaking because the Streaking Walkbys require me to wait an in-game day before I can trigger them and I got other !@#$ to do. We'll circle back around to that noise later.

⚡ 3/24/2025 #2 - I HAD TO GUT SHOWER IN THE RAIN...

The code that EnterBathing isn't one that can be modified to reset the Nude/Bathing outfit, so I had to remove it completely. I might have to remove the bit of code that makes sims dress up at the end of the interaction because it's currently causing sims to do a double "Change Clothes" spin.

⚡ 3/24/2025 #1 - I'M MISSING A PIECE OF THIS SKINNY DIP PUZZLE.

I can do it without modifying "the other" Tuning resource, but sims will wear the buggy underwear while doing the little silly shimmy animation before jumping into the water, then they will do the look around animation, submerge and strip nude. Apparently, the code to reset the Nude/Bathing outfit does not trigger during that little shimmy animation and I don't know why.

I can also do it by modifying "the other" Tuning resource, which will make sims wear their Swimwear while doing the little silly shimmy animation, then they strip nude the same way. It looks better.

Removing the "little silly shimmy animation" doesn't resolve the issue. It can't possibly be baked into the ASM, but something must be controlling this. I don't want this to halt progress any longer, so we're moving on. Point is, the Nude/Bathing outfit is resetting and the sim is getting nude. <GRINDS TEETH> BUT MAH PURRRFEKCIAN! 💀

⚡ 3/17/2025 #2 - I AWAKE FROM A NIGHTMARE...

Skinny Dipping is a nightmare! A convoluted EAxis nightmare!

HOURS of troubleshooting, bruv! HOURS! NINE (9) HOURS! IN CAPS!

But, I did learn some useful !@#$, e.g. I now understand why I couldn't change some outfits from within their interactions. Is because another Tuning resource is controlling what outfit is equipped when doing those interactions. WHY?! WHY IS THERE A TUNING RESOURCE OVERRIDING THE OUTFIT CODING IN THE INTERACTIONS! (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

Goddess give me strength. Guide my hand so that I may smash these convoluted brick walls into rubble AND THEN SMASH THE RUBBLE INTO DUST SO THAT NO TRACE OF ITS EXISTENCE REMAINS!

If I modify this Tuning resource, does it put me into conflict with my work-in-progress Wear Costumes Overhaul? <CHECKS> Yes, it does. I will cross that bridge when I circle back around to it. EnterBathing is more important.

⚡ 3/17/2025 #1 - CAN WE PROGRESS A LITTLE FASTER? I GOT OTHER THINGS TO DO!

⚡ 3/16/2025 #1 - AND WE'RE BACK!

I only temporarily totes forgot what I was doing. Taking a bath in a shower tub thingie is fixed, which means all the other options with rose petals and bubbly dirt should be in the bag! I'll know for certain in a few minutes.

⚡ 3/12/2025 #2 - WHY IS "EXITHOTTUB"? THAT'S THE QUESTION.

This is a non-issue. I forgot I disabled part of this override for troubleshooting.

⚡ 3/12/2025 #1 - I AM GETTING SO HOT, BUT I ALREADY TOOK MY CLOTHES OFF!

I'm an arse. Sorry. Have you ever seen the animation that plays when your sim dips under the water in the hot tub? It's nightmare fuel. Also, our feet clip through the base of the hot tub. That's just lazy. Shame on you, EAxis. Shame on you for taking SEVEN (7) MONTHS to fix my !@#- whoops! Wrong topic! Um...

Hot Tub skinny dipping works! I still have to test all the "Proper" variants.

I still haven't gotten to a Moon Revelry yet. It'll probably be the last one.

In total it might be (38) Tuning overrides + (16) NudePart clones - I'm embracing the Clone Wars this time around. 🖖🏼 Oh, that's Star Trek. Is there nothing for Star Wars? Pfft.

⚡ 3/6/2025 #4 - I'VE CONQUERED SHOWERING!

Now I need a Moon Revelry. I also need to remove the mod, bug out a full household and verify the mod is resetting all Nude/Bathing outfits for all sims all the time.

⚡ 3/6/2025 #3 - YEEEEEAAAHH BBOYY! I AM THE ROCKET SCIENTIST!

We are now resetting the Nude/Bathing outfit with iteration #3, baby! <HIP THRUST>

HOT DAYUM, I'M GOOD! <CACKLES>

In five minutes or less, the game gon' be like "HOLD MY MOTHERF- BEER!" and ruin errthang, but for this single perfect moment in time...

I AM !@#$ING AWESOME AND NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME! 😹

⚡ 3/6/2025 #2 - I FOUND SOME MORE TUNING CODE!

Together with NudePart CLONES and different NudePart OVERRIDES, I have functioning nudity with reactions without my invasive "NudePart Underwear Override". I currently have this working for "Change into Nude" and "WooHoo in Shower". I need to test it with just showering next.

Can this please be the end? Every time I have a breakthrough, I slam into a brick wall due to limitations in code and limitations in my knowledge and understanding of said code.

The first iteration of this BAND-AID successfully reconfigured the "Change into Nude" interaction to RESET the Nude/Bathing outfit every time it was used, but the code used for it only works in a specific type of Tuning interaction and that specific type of interaction only works on SELF interactions. I cannot make it work when interacting with an object, e.g. taking a shower.

The second iteration employed the use of the third-party "Reset Bathing Outfit" TS4SCRIPT mod, and it worked flawlessly again for SELF interactions. The way the cheat is written does not work when triggered by interacting with an object. It breaks because it tries to get "SimInfo" from the object, and objects have no "SimInfo". It's possible I can rewrite this code but then there is another thing to consider - I would be triggering this cheat with every EnterBathing interaction, and there are instances in the game where groups of sims EnterBathing together, which means the cheat would trigger multiple times at the same time or in quick succession. Can the game even handle that?

Now we're at a third iteration and it looks promising, but it is not without at least one caveat - this does not RESET the Nude/Bathing outfit. In fact, it currently ignores the Nude/Bathing outfit completely and builds a new "nude" outfit using... the Machine God only knows what, but it's working. 😹

On the bright side, I just learned how to do something very cheeky with Tags and these blocks of "outfit" code that might come in handy when I finally circle around to my Boutique. I need a new type of post for sharing these discoveri- no I don't, I have "Rocket Science" for that!

👹 3/6/2025 #1 - THE MORE I DIG, THE LESS IT MAKES SENSE...

I've seen new things that contradict old assessments. I need to do some troubleshooting to verify.

The only thing I'm still certain about is the trigger - any automatic outfit switching like "Change into Nude", going for a jog, a swim, or just changing into your uniform for work triggers it, but you won't see it until the "game mode" changes, meaning enter and exit CAS, or Save and Resume. I can't recall if I tried just traveling to a different lot in my initial troubleshooting.

Is it possible that the root cause is located in the PYTHON scripts squirreled away in the INSTALL FOLDER? Those things define a lot of !@#$. I need to learn how to decompile PYTHON scripts.

None of this is why we're back here though...

⚡ 2/18/2025 - WHILE THE INTERNET IS MUCKING AROUND...

You may have missed it, but I sometimes troubleshoot simmer's issues over in r/Sims4 and very rarely in the Steam Discussions. Ever since learning some !@#$, I've wanted to do a "Troubleshooting Pie Menu".

My mind won't let this go.

THIRTY-NINE (39) Tuning interaction resources contain "EnterBathing".

Ideally, if I can successfully modify each one to force reset the "Bathing/Nude" outfit before equipping it, you'll never need to use another mod to manually reset your "Bathing/Nude" outfit ever again - not to fix EAxis' !@#$-ups or third-party custom content creator !@#$-ups.

I have other things outstanding. I don't know when I'm starting this or if the reset code is even compatible with these Tuning resources, but whether or not EAxis gets off their arse and fixes the mess they've made with automatic outfit switching, I still want to try to do this.

EAxis could do this for all of us. It wouldn't even matter if the current reset code is compatible or not because they're the ones who define how the code works.

I took a look and I got it working for "Change into Nude".

IF my preliminary test results are correct, "Change into Nude" now successfully resets the "Nude/Bathing" outfit, NO "NudePart" OVERRIDE REQUIRED!

F.Y.I. removal of the mosaic censor is a different "Lewd Thing" override.

I had to fix TWO (2) SP15 Full Body swimsuits and TWO (2) BG Top "swimsuits" that are improperly flagged for "Nude/Bathing".

Furthermore, a Tuning resource that defines Strings for "Uniform" tags had to be modified for this to work. I was hoping to avoid touching this Tuning but if I am to expand the "Wear Costumes" interaction, I'll have to eventually anyway. The way these specific commands work requires Strings for "Uniforms" to be defined in that Tuning. "Boutique" uses a convoluted workaround with different commands to hopefully avoid this Tuning file.

This won't work for every "EnterBathing" Tuning resource due to one of the modifications required, HOWEVER, I might be able to do it a different way by making a custom interaction and forcing the "EnterBathing" interactions to use the custom interaction, thus resetting the "Nude/Bathing" outfit every time. It's also possible that I could incorporate that third-party "Reset Nude/Bathing Outfit" TS4SCRIPT mod into this by modifying each "EnterBathing" interaction to run the custom "reset" command before "EnterBathing", BUT I would have to dig into that mod and figure out how to do it myself because this ain't something I want to be relying on anyone else for if an official update breaks the TS4SCRIPT. I would prefer to make this work without TS4SCRIPT, for obvious MALWARE reasons. I could also probably make this whole paragraph more layman-friendly but the internet 'bout to die again.

I'm going through the rest of my mods to clear them for compatibility and working on a couple other PENDING projects, not Boutique though - don't get excited yet. When I resume Boutique it's to finish it - providing there aren't any brick walls - but it will require Maximum Focus. I've also got all of my SGFX Override posts open, so I'll edit them while offline then save them when I reset my router again... for the umpteenth time! (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

I'LL BE BACK! 🚁

⋆⋅ DON'T NOTICE ME YET, SENPAI:

⋆⋅ MOAR SWAG:

⋆⋅ A WEB OF MACHINATIONS:

I just love it when modding one thing cracks open the door for other projects.

This started with the BUGFIX for Lovestruck's busted Costume Box - which I still need to finalize. EAxis made such a mess of tha- actually, this started with Scarlet.

Before Scarlet, I had a collection of Female / Feminine Frame sims. Then I had a Male / Masculine Frame sim who was supposed to be me but didn't quite "feel" like me, which led me to creating Scarlet. Scarlet then opened my eyes to problems affecting "transframe" sims, which opened my eyes to problems affecting "cisframe" female sims, which led to the WIP Costume Box BUGFIX, which opened the door to my WIP Boutique, and eventually led us here, and everything I've learned how to do here will be applied to Boutique when I finally circle back to it.

There's one thing in particular that I know how to do now - that I had to learn in order to make this work. If you look closely at Scarlet's face in those photos, you'll notice that sometimes Scarlet is wearing that cute "HighLighter" Face Paint and the "nude" lipstick that gives their lips some color. That ain't a glitch. It's by design. I can define what's removed from the "base" outfit that a sim is wearing when getting nude - not everything yet, but some things. This was one of the things I didn't fully understand when I was actively working on the Costume Bug BUGFIX.

This newfound ability ticks a box for that LEWD mod I keep saying I'm not working on. I'm only "not working on it" because I haven't made a proof of concept yet, and that only hasn't happened yet because I'm prioritizing other things.
