☢️ EAxis has finally noticed that OUR BODIES ARE !@#$ING BROKEN! M-... - A short rant 'cause I'm modding, baby!
THIS IS A RANT. YOU'RE WELCOME TO IGNORE IT. I DO THIS FOR PERPETUITY.
https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/laundry-list-february-18th-2025
TWELVE (12) UPDATES, SEVEN (7) MONTHS, FOUR (4) KITS, FIVE (5) CREATOR KITS, TWO (2) FOMO EVENTS, AND TWO (2) EXPANSION PACKS LATER, EAXIS FINALLY NOTICES THAT OUR !@#$ING BODIES ARE BROKEN, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BEHAVE AS THOUGH THIS ONLY AFFECTS MALE SIMS WITH FEMININE FRAMES.
This should give you an idea about EAxis' priorities and how long it might take for them to fix the !@#$ they broke that's breaking our Nude/Bathing outfit, automatic outfit switching, and various other outfit-related commands - https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-bug-reports-archive-en/archived-sims-wear-default-underwear-when-naked/11663791/
Providing they actually fix this !@#$ and providing it's actually new Deformer Map resources and they didn't just grab the files from the Google Drive folder I made just for them - https://../drive/FixingTheBodiesThatEAxisBroke - I will update my BUGFIX with the "new" resources.
My BUGFIX will remain available here and on all mirrors.
I had enough time to finally get onto Mod The Sims...
SEVEN (7) months to officially fix a "bug" that required SEVEN (7) days to mod-fix, and that was with delays because I didn't bother to back up absolutely everything and had to rely on simmer friends for Update 6/6/2024 files.
Would you like to know how I tracked this down?
After combing though and comparing thousands of files to no avail, I resigned and asked my anonymous friend to send me their whole ClientDeltaBuild0.package, and lo and behold our bodies were fixed, which told me that it could be fixed from our side but that I was looking in the wrong place.
If you've followed my ramblings you'll know that before this fiasco, I had no knowledge about Deformer Maps or what purpose they serve. It was a random custom body preset mod that I had downloaded and dissected to try to gain some insight that pointed me to them.
I still have no idea what EAxis were doing or trying to do that led to these Deformer Maps becoming corrupted.

I'm glad you talk about this on the forums. i'm sure YOU help a lot for them to take note about the issue and produce a fix. A huge thank you <3<3<3 that was very important for me. I hope they will repair all the bodies
As long as they fix ALL (18) Deformer Maps, all bodies will get fixed. In fact, there aren't DMaps specific to each body type or combination. IIRC, it's only (3) or (4) of the broken DMaps that are causing our spines to deform, which means the other (14) are breaking other little things we ain't seeing. If they half-arse this !@#$ and don't fix all (18), I will lose whatever patience I have left concerning this.
Wow you're really awesome! They should hire you. Thanks!💪🙏🎉
I'd even do it for free just to get the things fixed in a timely fashion. Just remote patch me in and give me access to them mass-editing tools and I will fix CAS overnight! 😹
