I'm looking for a few brave souls to help me out with testing my piercings. I need to know if you find any issues with various facial structures, or any issues in general. If you do have problems, please let me know what version of the game you're running, whether or not you've got either patches, if you're using Awesomemod, Indie Stone, or both, if you use facial slider hacks, and if so, at what setting. Feel free to comment here or send me a PM either here on DreamWidth or on GoS if you'd rather. Screencaps of the problems are greatly appreciated.

THESE ARE NOT THE FINAL UPLOAD! Put these somewhere you can find them so when I do release the final version, you won't have any conflicts.


Other Important Information:
These currently overwrite the LEFT HAND single earring for males; the final version will not. They're only for males, ages teen through elder. Yes, I will eventually be making them for teen-elder females. They're not multi-layerable, and are only available as this complete set. Some day I would love to create a full set of mult-layerable piercings, but that hasn't been worked out quite yet. They DO animate with a sim's facial expression.

Known dealies that need resolving:

-Teen version doesn't actually work quite right
-Lower ear piercings don't work quite right on extreme ear shapes
-There may be clippage with the brow piercings
-If you're using Rick & Delphy's slider hacks, you may run into distortion on the lip ring. If you find this in your game, please let me know what facial slider hacks you're using and what they're set to.


TESTING DONE, THANK YOU!

Hellooo :) I'll give these a try for you; using 1.3 patched version, AM, IS and one of my fave aliens, so will see how he takes to them :)

*crosses fingers that patch will work for her* :S

Okay, I've tried them out in CAS - Pistachio was already wearing the l/h earring which saved me a job ;)

But, yeah - methinks the lip ring needs work:

The rest of it looks great so far, even though I've not played with him properly yet.

Oops! I probably should have added the information about the lipring on the main post! Let me just copy and paste what was discovered about that:

"I opened up the sim from my previous "piercing28," who was made when I used Rick & Delphy's slider hack, and fidgeted with his lower lip sliders. Lower Lip Shape was maxed (to the right); as soon as a decreased it, the stretching reverted into a neat little circle. I re-maxed the same slider, and it the piercing remained unwarped;and the sim's mouth-shape was different (a lot less full) than the original Rick & Delphy slider hack results. (However, increasing the Lower Lip Thickness created a near-identical version of his previous appearance, without the distorted lower lip ring.)"

(Gobs of love to Juushika on GoS for figuring all of that out!)

Because of the way facial slider hacks seem to work, coupled with how I've done the bone assignments on the lip piercing so it moves with facial anims, this is something that's just going to have to have a warning slapped up on it. XD

So now I need to ask what facial slider hacks you're using, and what they're set to. So far I think you're only the second person to come across this! Thank you so much for reporting it and getting me the screencaps!

You're welcome :)

I used AM's slider hack set to 3x, but not sure if I had to take advantage of the whole range to get his mouth right. Mind you, I've noticed a sim that was pilfered from the EA Store had that problem too - make of that what you will o_O
