Hi everyone!

So, I want to do a little catch-up on where things are from my perspective and get some dialogue and feedback. This might be a lengthy post, but I want to make sure I touch on all of the things I'm thinking about and invite discussion.

I'm writing this on the fly, so I'm just gonna dive right in to the things I want to discuss.

  • 2.0 Releases: My 2.0 penis, breasts and chests upgrades have been launched. The only major (cisgender) anatomy set that isn't complete right now is a 2.0 vagina, which I've begun work on. I'd really like to expand on what I made before and create a set that matches the 2.0 penis in terms of quality and options. I know animated orifices are something people are interested in, but I'm not looking at those until after I've completed the vaginas.

  • 2.0 Unique Conversions: I haven't completed as many of the 2.0 unique design conversions as I would like yet. The biggest question for me is how much people want me to focus on these. Do you want me to push to get most/all of them done so that they're out of the way, and do you mind if doing that means putting some other work on hold? Do you prefer having them spaced out and updated one-by-one? I'd love to hear some thoughts on this.

  • Supernatural Anatomy: Werewolf penises are finally complete! I'd like to convert breasts and chests, and when the 2.0 vagina is complete I'll bring that across too. I'm thinking about ideas for other unique anatomy for the TS4 lifestates, but I haven't received a lot of feedback asking for these so they're not necessarily my highest priority. I'd probably be most interested in alien options. I don't know that I would make specific vampire or spellcaster anatomy, because they just feel like humans to me, but I can think of some fun vampire content that isn't full-blown anatomy options. Mermaids aren't a "no", but I haven't done any research into how they work, how easy it would be to make anatomy, or what I would want those to be like, so they're currently at the bottom of the list.

  • Better Bulges: I've been trying to push doing these because, to be honest, I kind of hate how the project has dragged on. I know that's been sort of unavoidable due to me needing to take some mental health breaks, but I'd really love for it to be in a place where BB is done and only needs to be updated when new DLC packs come out. I'm going to keep pushing to try and get these "complete", so expect to see several updates a month for these until all packs are done.

  • SimMotion: I re-launched this with the best of intentions, because I think it has potential (even though it will never be the project I envisioned). But I'm not happy with how many updates I've been able to do since re-launching. This is a big thing for me, because I'd love SimMotion to include so many more animations - they're just a time-consuming process that is made tougher by all of the other kinds of content I make. Maybe there will be a month where I warn people ahead of time - hey, next month, all I'm doing is SimMotion updates. I should have thought of that before the very last day of August lol. Well, it probably won't be September, but it might happen at some point.

  • Body Hair: I've got some designs in the works and I'd really like to add more to this category, for both men and women.

  • Piercings: I've been looking at solutions to the piercings issue, because I'm not happy with the project as it was (piercings not always showing up). I thought I had a neat idea on how to implement them differently that would fix the problem, but I hit a technical wall that I don't think I can get around. The biggest question for me is - how would you like me to approach the piercing mod right now? I could re-launch the mod, accepting that sometimes piercings just don't show up on your sim, and just keep providing new piercings or swatches; OR I could go back to the first piercing system I used, where pierced anatomy are a separate standalone version that gets added to CAS & the WW Body Selector.

I also definitely want to talk about trans options, unique anatomy, and other content for sims who aren't covered by the base cisgender content that I have now. But it's a big topic that I'd like to do justice, so I'm going to give it a separate post so I can really talk about my thoughts and the options that are there. I'll post that soon!

So that's a look at where I'm at and what I'm thinking about right now. I'm super open to feedback and appreciate any thoughts you want to share, whether that's here on this post or privately through DM/email.

Thank you!

hey, first of all fan of your amazing work especially on the men part and yeah I would like a complete update on Exclusive designs maybe add some unique vein texture so they stand out more compared to standard design also would love some more unique forskin/retracted skin versions in the exculsive category.

BA

Thank you for all your hard work. Don't worry about things getting delayed, life happens and you're doing this all on your own 😊 Thanks to the Expanded Mermaids mod, mermaids are now my favorite lifestyle to play with. I'd love some more options for them. Your body hair options are my favorite. I'd love to see curly and kinky textured options.

omglaserspewpew

An idea for alien anatomy might be to lean on skin details, baked into the texture files of the alien skin tones. The bonus is that it affects all aliens, not just your own in CAS. I’ve used this before to make all aliens look scaly. Could be used to eg extend the vulva much higher than normal or having interesting textures on the penis without needing new body parts. Whatever your imagination comes up with. :)

awolfingeeksclothin9

First off, thanks for your content so far. I use your content the most in my game. I was thinking about your piercing mod recently ( I have an OC sim with many piercings lol) and would agree that maybe making them standalone CAS/WW options would probably be easiest. Like another member suggested, I’d also like to see some more curly and kinky textured body hair. I also like the exclusives just because they add variety. I think your plans so far are great, and the pace you’re working at is fine, sometimes real life takes priority so it’s understandable if some things are delayed. Take care and thanks for your amazing content :)

omglaserspewpew

You mentioned mermaids; I actually have a private, NSFW mod of my own that I made by making parts of the mermaid tail textures transparent. I guess I’m probably the only person to think it’s a good idea. The male and female textures are separate so I was able to have different transparent parts for each. I also thought of adding gills to the mermaid tail textures, but I struggled to find something that worked for all skin tones. (https://imgbox.com/yZArbNTw), (https://imgbox.com/pNW8mTvc)

Blue Nerd

I would very much like Frank+ converted to 2.0, I honestly use the Exclusive sizes more than the base set. Frank, Frank+, Shaun & Wes are my favs. The bulges are only noticeable on tight fitting clothing, like undies & swimwear. That's why I'm excited you started making a larger set! Maybe either make a priority list, or a poll to see what your fans would most like you to focus on?

Ashton Hens

absolutely love your work as a trans guy who likes seein' other trans guys in my games. i was wondering if there could ever be a possibility of a higher set male vagina (closer to where the female sim's vagina sits, a bit unrealistically high up between the legs) to allow for the mesh not to warp while taking on certain sex positions? or if there's a way to keep the vaginas from bulging outwards/taking the shape of a crotch bulge when the sim bends certain directions? tysm for the representation and your revolutionary stuff both for WW and just for the sake of having pretty and diverse sims!

Some Body

I'm very excited to see more penises and chests for men released, as well as more sim motions! However you choose to release them - as you're inspired to do! - I'd be very happy with all of it!

True AI

I also use the Exclusives and the added colors that accompany them the most. Your work is amazing, so I'm good with any timeline that allows you to do what you feel passionate about. That's the most important thing!

Myrjuno

For the piercings I’d love for them to be selectable in CAS and/or the WW body selector. It’s hard to find piercings that fit with your amazing chests/breasts so to have ones made by you accessible in any capacity would be great.

maks

thanks for the detailed update, it’s cool to see everything you’re working on laid out! i am not personally interested in piercings, more body hair unless it’s 3D like BTTB (i feel like your existing options are already excellent), or werewolf breasts. i am also satisfied with the number of better bulges updates you’ve already done - i mostly use cc clothing in my game, including your cc underwear (would love to see more of that!) i am most interested in simmotion updates, the 2.0 version of lorenzo & jean, 2.0 conversions for female sims, & future trans anatomy/overlays (i will wait patiently for a future post 🙂) i also want to celebrate the werewolf penises one more time - im absolutely thrilled with them!

maks
>>148160360

oh - this wasn’t mentioned, but i would be ecstatic to see the 2.0 penises + exclusives available as strapons for both male/female sims. i almost exclusively use the v1 straps in my game!

Kiera Goodridge

I absolutely love the content you make and simmotion brings so much quality of life to my game. It makes these parts feel like genuine anatomy instead of some plastered on accessory. It really brings a new kind of quality of life to the game I haven't found anywhere else. It gives the body parts the respect they deserve by treating them like any other normal thing instead of some nsfw accessory. I'm so excited to see you add more to it! I always find a lot of Penis add ons in particular tend to be huge and distasteful but yours feel like just a real human being which I really appreciate.

Johsua Widanka

I frankly still like the piercing mod you made. It works for me since I use your anatomy in the selectors anyway. I would love to see new swatches added to it in the future. SimMotion is also an awesome concept and if you need to have large chunks of time set aside for I think we’d all understand. I just want to say whatever is decided please do what you can live with and what’s healthy for you. ❤️

Trenton Reinhardt

Hey Hey! Thank you so much Simdulgence for you content for the TS4 community. It was mostly of the modding community that I change my perspective on TS4. Notably it was both you and Turbo that made me take the leap from TS3 to TS4. Originally I wasn't going to get it and was happy with the content I had with vanilla TS3. Imma keep 100. As TS4 and its expansion continued. It was giving: segmented and disjointed vanilla content. However, its because of the modding community that made me ENJOY TS4 despite how...controversial the DLCs were. So thank you so much for giving me a reason to enjoy Sims 4 beyond the vanilla content. Feedback 2.0 I love everything about 2.0. It gives more realism to my sims. With the Unique "Exclusive" designs. IMO you can space them out one by one. PERSONALLY, I really wanna see Jean and Nick next. Take your time with them so they look great. Even though I usually tend to focus on the male sims, I can't wait to see what you do with Vaginas and I hope they have their own unique conversions. Occult I mean its kind of obvious by my icon, Imma furry. I loved what you did with the werewolf and I was very surprised at the options. Like I get it the other occults are MOSTLY humans with special powers, but there is some room for Imagination. You already touched upon Mermaids, but here me out...Aliens, PlantSims, and Servos. Depending on it you wanna sculpt difference types of genitalia they options could be wild. It's wishful thinking but i think it should be put on the back shelf for now compared to your other projects post Werewolves. Come back to it later. Better Bulges Take your time with this. I like when they come out, but in honesty, I like your own CC underwear and clothing more with bulges. Its lets you be more creative and not be limited by what Maxis as already created. Don't get me wrong, I like BB, but its not something you should break your back over. Though I do understand the feeling of completion. SimMotion SimMotion is one of the reason I exclusively use Simdulgence Anatomy. The fact you took the time to actually do this is wild. Its why I've could careless for other anatomy outside maybe LavaManaMade's penises. If you are gonna focus a month or two strictly on SimMotion, I'm here for it. Body Hair You've been one of the few people I've seen that has fully committed to implementing their CC into the Body Hair system from Maxis and work in tandem with it. And I appreciate that. My biggest hope is that either A) More POC oriented body hair. I would love for my black and brown sims to have body hair similar to me and other POCs. It adds that touch of realism and representation that seem to forgot when it comes to hair in general. B) 3D Body Hair!!! If you could pull it off, amazing. I would love to see it. But that is EXTREMELY wishful thinking. Piercings Piercings were another reason why I exclusively used Simdulgence anatomy. At the time (and probably see are) one of the few CC creators that does body piercings. WW Body selector would be a bad idea honestly. Khlas has something similar with his Hugo penis mesh that has a piercing on it. Don't get me wrong purchasing it in the Build/Buy was great and clicking the item was fun to put it on. THAT BEING SAID, if WW Body selector makes piercing options obtainable again, I'd sacrifice the live object. You can still have the object has clutter for those who want it on the dressers or in their bathrooms. Be even more daring and add genitalia jewerly/accessories like cock rings or ball stretchers. Those are my thoughts. Most of it is feedback, some of its is a wishlist/wishful thoughts. I kinda started yapping cause I'm love your content and super excited for what's to come. I'm also psyched to see what you have cooked up for Trans Sims. I'm all about LGBTQIA+ representation in my game. My mind would be blown if you collab with Lumpinou and their LGBTQIA+ Mod as well. Thank you so much for what you do for the modding community. I understand you've been through a lot. We understand. We also understand you don't really owe us anything and you are doing this to be creative and share your creativity with others. Again I thank you for that. Cheers Simdulgence!!!! 💋✨

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like my work so much. I probably won't add veins to the existing exclusives because I want to keep consistency between the 1.0 version and the 2.0 version as much as possible. However, I have had some ideas for new unique designs, including some with more veins, that I'm excited to work on. And I'm happy to add more foreskin/retracted unique designs too!

simdulgence
>>148132333

Thank you! I'll try to keep that in mind, although I know I'll get stressed anyway lol. When you say "more options" for mermaids, do you mean body parts like penises etc?

simdulgence
>>148134005

Thanks for the ideas! I do have some thoughts on parts that I *could* make, if they turn out well, but using skin details as a way to differentiate or add to the aliens is an interesting concept (that I actually hadn't thought of for some reason)!

simdulgence
>>148132333

Forgot to say, yes to both of your body hair suggestions - I had a very tightly curled style in my old body hair designs, but want to introduce more with the newer art style I use, and expand to more options than what I provided.

simdulgence
>>148134337

Thank you very much, I'm so glad you like what I make! Re: piercings, thanks for the feedback. Standalone versions would definitely add a *lot* of parts to the WW body selector list, which would only grow as I added more piercings/swatches. How do you feel about that? Requests for curly/kinky hair are noted - I would like to add more of these as well. And more unique conversions and brand-new designs are on the way :)

simdulgence
>>148137467

Gills are an interesting idea! I can see that your semi-transparent tails allow for seeing hair and the texture of the female genitals, but texture alone wouldn't be enough for male mermaids obviously lol. But I think it looks cool :)

simdulgence
>>148142563

Frank+ is probably a conversion I'll work on sooner, I know that's a popular one. I personally find the bulges noticeable on almost all of the clothing I've edited, but I know it doesn't show as much on higher weight/muscle values and that some people might just want bigger ones in general. I'm not 100% committing to this, but if the Large don't do enough for showing the bulge I'm open to making an XL version. But if I do make that, I won't do that before I finish the base size/Large size.

simdulgence
>>148142563

Meant to say, a poll is something I might do after this - I just wanted to hear some other ideas vs just getting votes on my ideas. :)

simdulgence
>>148142627

I'll admit I haven't used the male vagina that I released much in my own gameplay, so I'm not aware of the bending/bulging issues off the top of my head. But I put a lot of effort into improving bending and movement with the 2.0 penis, and I'll try to make sure that same effort is made with the 2.0 male vagina when I create that. The existing vagina was placed where it is to match the bottom of the pelvis on a male sim, but that doesn't mean a version that sits where the female version sits is impossible. I'll just have to look at how high it needs to come and the weighting/bending for the legs and groin. I'll definitely keep it in mind when I make the male vagina :)

simdulgence
>>148153868

I'd definitely love to have more piercing options (and to have fewer issues with the options that do exist). Thank you for the feedback!

simdulgence
>>148160360

Yeah, between some of the updates and the werewolf anatomy, I haven't created an original piece of clothing in a little while. Sometimes when I come to the drawing board to think about what underwear I would make I come up blank on inspiration. I need to do some research and get some new references and ideas I think lol. Thank you for the kind words - I'm glad you like the werewolf options so much! I'm pleased with how they turned out. Your feedback about SimMotion, Jean/Lorenzo, and female penises are noted and appreciated. Thank you!

simdulgence
>>148160360

When you say available as strap-ons, do you mean the way that my optional add-on for the 1.0 female penises works where the strap-on looks like a flesh-and-blood penis? Or versions of those penises turned into strap-ons with straps?

simdulgence
>>148160804

Thank you so much for saying that! I definitely have my eye on realism because that's my preference, so it's always nice to know that other people also appreciate more of a realistic leaning when it comes to size and style. I think SimMotion has a lot of potential, like I said in the post, and I'd love to be able to flesh it out so it covers so much more movement. I'm really glad that you find it brings the anatomy to life in your game and adds to your experience. Thank you! ❤️

simdulgence
>>148163948

Do you ever experience the issue with the piercings not showing up sometimes when undressing/changing outfits? This is the primary issue with the existing mod and it's been a real challenge to try and find a way to fix it. I definitely want to add more piercing styles and swatches for sure. Thank you so much for the kind words - I appreciate them! ❤️

maks
>>148160360

like the optional add on sans straps :) it would be excellent to be able to use them for masculine frame trans man sims!

Dazza

Firstly, have to say thanks for all you do. Love SimMotion, naked jogging is so good to watch, and your penis meshes is one of the two i use frequently. Only issue i seem to have is with simple chests 2 making nipples appear white/grey - still looking into that to see what's causing the conflict

simdulgence
>>148164573

Hey! Thank you for the detailed feedback, it's very helpful! And I'm very honored that my work is part of what helped you decide to make the leap into playing TS4 - yes, the game has some issues for sure, but to hear my content is part of the reason you decided to give it a chance really means a lot. Thank you! Re: uniques, Jean is definitely a popular design. I've made a note of the ones you want to see most! Re: occults, I'm really glad you like the werewolf options so much! I don't know exactly what I would do for plant sims, but I have a few thoughts on alien options. And servos could be fun and I can already see some stuff I could do with them. I've never played with servos in TS4 so I don't know much about them but there's potential. Re: BB, you're right, as an ongoing project I would love very much for it to be "complete". I do want to create more of my own clothing, I just need to find the right inspiration for what to make. Re: body hair, I definitely want to add more POC options for sure. 3D body hair is an idea I've played around with, but I haven't found a solution I'm happy with yet so I can't say for sure whether it will ever happen. But it's on my mind. Re: piercings, having the list of parts in the WW selector expanded with all of the piercing options is definitely not my preference. I wish that the method I had explored recently worked, but I don't think the technical hurdles I found are something I can overcome - but I'm still looking at it. I appreciate your feedback about enjoying the B/B method and having the props around the world, though! Adding other jewelry or options is definitely an interesting idea, but the issue with something like cock rings/ball stretchers is that those kinds of accessories should affect the genitals - there's no point in a ball stretcher if the balls just stay exactly where they are and don't get stretched downwards - but that would mean having to make a version of each penis with the accessory. So a large uncut stretcher, a large cut stretcher, etc. And then you need soft and hard versions. Those options quickly clog up CAS and the WW selector and there's really no way around that (that I know of). So it's a tricky thing to do, although not impossible. I'll make note of your ideas for sure. Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to write all of this out! I'm very thankful to have such amazing patrons and appreciate that you enjoy my work enough to go so in-depth on your thoughts! ❤️

kJude

I love your mods and use them a lot in my game. I've only one or two sims with the named penis mods (Frank mostly) but I use the others. And I liked that I was able to make one of the small soft ones into a flaccid one that shows up under the "hard" options (so my femboi is how they like to be.) Re: trans... I like your male vagina, it seems to work fine for my sims. I still hope for a penis for a sim with an orchiectomy, to allow for a mid-transition kind of experience. For transmen, a lengthened clitoris (perhaps a modification of a small futa penis with vagina) might be possible. I love the ideas talked about with body hair. While not overly fond of piercing myself, I use them for some of my sims (and they seem to like them!) so improvements there are very welcome. But your work is great. Take the time you need. I'll be very happy to use your CC when any shows up.

Ashton Hens
>>148142627

Bless up, you're such a king :D. Can't stress how appreciated you are by trans simmers.

BA
>>148132333

Yes, maybe body parts unique to mermaids or skin details like scales or something likat.

shayno

whatever mod is specifically making the penises move is what I would love to be completed in full. SimMotion & penis 2.0 updates please. always appreciate your hard work and dedication!

awolfingeeksclothin9
>>148134337

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand that the standalones are not ideal but it does feel like it’s the only option :( personally I’d probably use a few designs at a time in game but I know this might not be practical for other players.

simdulgence
>>148134337

Finding that balance is the hardest part. Of course, if I did resort to using that kind of standalone system, I could maybe minimize the impact by making them modular - aka you get the base penis file, then you have one addon for a Prince Albert, a second addon for a guiche, etc. I'll give it some thought!

simdulgence
>>148178258

Hey! I just released an update to the chests yesterday that should fix the grey nipple situation, so make sure to grab that version and see if it corrects the problem for you. Thank you for the kind words - I'm glad you like my work!

simdulgence
>>148218970

I like all of your ideas, and they're things that I've had some requests for before from several players. I'd love to get a broader range of genital options into the game! There are a couple of issues to consider, but I'm hoping to get some more specific feedback about those issues in my upcoming post for trans/unique anatomy options. Thank you very much for the feedback!

simdulgence
>>148280703

Thank you very much! I'd love to get more SimMotion updates complete to cover a wider range of activities in the game, and it's a big help to hear from players who want these updates too. :)

Fener Bazzarini

Maybe is late, maybe not. but... Starting with the 2.0 I like the new work, and i'm waiting for the vaginas, even the exclusives, i don't want to made a preference if release those all in one or one by one, i think all the people here have make their decisions XD I'm not a big fan of supernatural and werewolves, so i don't talk about it. Simmotion: i think the work on that should have justice, so i appreciate you would take the time for made that good. Bodyhairs: YES i like both ideas, but i'm not in good vibes with the 3d hairs... obviously for problems with the dresses. Piercing: not a fan, but i tried some through the years... I don't like it: expecially the nipple piercing are always bad to see. But maybe this would change... so i think you can made that another time.

simdulgence
>>148469578

No, it's not too late to share your thoughts! Re: the body hair, the biggest problem with having 3D hair is that it needs to be compatible with clothing. Having a 3D accessory or 3D body hair won't be compatible with clothing because then the hair will be clipping or sitting in front of the clothing, so I'll never make one that causes that kind of problem. But I have been brainstorming other ways to achieve this, so I'll see how it goes and if I can make something work. Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate you sharing it! :)

Lho'a

Thank you for your amazing work! Your penis exclusives has really added so much variety and diversity to my sim world that i still stubbornly hold on to each variant you've made, whether that's good or bad thing. I do look forward to each new iteration of better bulges and simmotion but it does rank on a slightly lower scale of excitement for me. I'd be curious to see where you'd go with alien or mermaid penises tho.

RichardKing

Don't know if its too late to share my 2 cents, but I'd love to see the 2.0 unique conversions! (specifically, Craig, Stu, and Nick!) or just new unique meshes in general!

Johsua Widanka
>>148163948

Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying to this. No, I did not have issues once I decided to just use your tops when my sims are all natural. I still very much like using the mod.
