Height, Sliders, and Gradual Growth Mod (29.02.2024)
Most features can be disabled either through the Config (see below) or by deleting the corresponding .package file from the mod!
All sliders should now copy across occult sim transformations!
There are 3 ways to edit Sim heights in the mod: in CAS, via Pie Menu interaction, or precisely via commands (see in spoiler above):
CAS Hotspots:
(For premade sims, these are the only things in the mod that should require 'testingcheats on', followed by 'cas.fulleditmode', then Shift-Click -> CAS Modify, or 'Edit Household in CAS' in MCCC -> CAS)
I've added a remake of CmarNYC's hotspots that I made via TS4 MorphMaker in Height Slider Hotspots.package. It should make it so that dragging a sim's foot in CAS up or down should make their height go in the direction you dragged (via the "height" slider), for any age other than Baby.
I've also added a remake of Wihi's Hand Hotspot - an optional Hotspot for the Hand slider, by dragging vertically on the upper arm/bicep. Should still be compatible with (and complement) Luumia's Hand Sliders.
Height Pie Menu:
The Pie Menu that Tedw promised has been added! It requires XMLInjector, and can be found by Shift+Clicking on any Sim!
Gradual Growth
The Height Slider Growth.package will make your Child and Teen sims grow taller day by day as they age!
- The Gradual Growth update will run however often you configure, or daily at 1am by default
- Will randomize the height of any Sim with a default height (defined as a Sim with no custom slider settings from this mod) *see RandomizeHeights in the Config section to configure this
- Uses a hidden HeightStat to determine the Sim's height relative to the average for their age group
- On the Gradual Growth update, sets Child / Teen sim height (chs/ths) based on their HeightStat and their percentage of progress towards the next Age Up
(In the future I'd love to make this work for Infants and Toddlers as well, but I'll need someone to provide me with versions of the BonePoses found in Height Slider Growth.package for those ages, as I am a Programmer and do not understand such magicks!)
Configuration
I've added configuration via a JSON file named MycroftJr_HeightSliders.cfg . Be careful not to break the validity of the JSON when editing it manually, but the mod should either fix your errors or warn you with a pop-up when a save loads.
The config file should be generated/fixed up when a save is loaded with the mod enabled, and only reloaded (for now) when the game starts.
As before, removing a .package will stop it from running, but prefer these config options over removing Tall.package or Short.package entirely.
