Male Body Sliders
🕑 Added 2024-07-12 19:34:28 +0000 UTCThis is a collection of sliders that aim to offer a little more variety to your sims' bodies.
The benefit to these sliders is that they offer more body variety while using standard body parts. I'm proud of the SimpleChests (and may make more in the future), but it's a pain to give your sim a beefy chest that disappears when they put on a shirt, or to not be able to create a clothing item (like a harness or full body towel) without making a version for every chest shape.
Because the body sliders will affect clothing your sim wears, I've tried to keep their range relatively average. I may add more extreme versions of these morphs in the future, if there's interest.
There are currently six sliders:
1) Pectoral Height. Adjusted by dragging pecs up-down in front view.
2) Pectoral Depth. Adjusted by dragging pecs side-side in right profile view.*
3) Love Handles. Adjusted by dragging stomach up-down in front view.
4) Iliac Crest. Adjusted by dragging hips up-down in front view.
5) Abdominal Muscles. Adjusted by dragging stomach up-down in profile view.
6) Inner Thigh Size. Adjusted by dragging thighs up-down in front or back view.
*Right profile view means the side of the sim that is on your right while looking at them face-forward.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The game's limitations mean we can't add endless morphs to the sim body; there are only so many camera angles and parts of the body we can change. That means these sliders are overrides and will alter the function of default body sliders.
I've only changed sliders where either a) no body morph existed previously or b) the existing morph can be adjusted in multiple angles/ways. Any part of the sim body you could previously adjust can still be adjusted.
New Default Body Morph Locations:
1) Dragging pecs up-down in front view, or dragging pecs side-side in right profile view, previously adjusted back curvature. This is now done in the left profile view only.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
You can add or remove the slider packages from your game at any time. Saved sims who were using the slider will look the same as they were, but without the effects of any sliders used.
CHANGELOG:
2025-05-31: Added an inner thigh size slider. I found the default thigh size slider too big for all of my sims, especially because it adds volume all over the thigh, and I wanted something for sims who are carrying more weight but whose legs aren't as large and I've noticed in my anatomical research that some people gain weight on their upper inner thighs without adding weight to the entire thigh.
This slider increases the outsides/front/back of the thighs minimally, but brings the upper inner thigh area together quite a bit, and can be used either in combination with the default side-side Maxis thigh slider or on its own to add weight to the upper inner thigh region.
My thigh slider does NOT replace any default slider functions - previous dragging up and down did nothing, where dragging up and down now adjusts inner thigh size.
I've added a preview of the slider to the pictures in the post.
Also combined existing Torso sliders and the new Thigh slider into one zip file (but still separate package files within the zip).
2024-07-12: Added five torso sliders.

I have thought about it! There are things I might be interested in being able to do for my female sims that you can't with default sliders, but I've just been letting it sort of linger in the back of my mind until I have firmer ideas of what I would want to add in. Whether I end up making them would depend on whether I can get enough ideas that I like and execute them in a way I'm happy with.

Do the titles “male body sliders” and “male torso slider” imply that female torso sliders are being considered?
