Yes, I can add translations.

OK: French translation is included.

Hi there is a "small" problem with a single female hairstyle. I think it is an EA hairstyle, but I am not sure.



The hair is not moved. If I am adjusting the head length only a small amount, the problem is not really visible. But even within the normal range -without getting a Sims-Monster: the hair is floating above the head or the skin is shining through the hair respectively.

Nonetheless, many thanks for this mod (and all your other slider hacks)!

I can't thank you enough for making this! It always annoyed me that sims had longer faces and big foreheads. Simply amazing, once again thanks for making this it was much needed.

Oh, right. Stupid EA. If some mesher could fix this by assigning the vertices to "HeadNew" instead of "Head", this problem could be solved. But I'm horrible at using Milkshape and the Blender importer/exporter doesn't support bones yet, so I can't do anything about it.

I will update the known issues at the front page.

Of course you can alternatively also use the slider hack on the 10 sliders download site to remove the limit.

This slider is of course in Head->General, maybe you missed it because it is not necessarily at the bottom and it could be somewhere between the other sliders.
Thank you. I am blind. I found the slider and the slider hack. Every thing works now! :lovestruc

Note: I think I can fix the hair problem. Looking at the file format for geoms it's probably even easier to hexedit them, instead of having to change the bone assignments manually. A complete fix should be available soon.

Winterhart, the slider is under the Head size slider in the head section.

Thank you!! :D
This pretty much completes my collection of desperately-needed sliders.

Tyber - if you wanted to make their faces slimmer/thinner there is a slider for that. I can't quite remember, but it's either a default Head Width slider, or more likely one of Jonha's Facial Sliders.

The width from left to right can already be adjusted with a basegame slider. If you want something else please explain. I would be happy to make another useful slider.

You can use this slider and putt the eyes up again, it will look pretty much the same. But I can provide a forehead slider, too, if you need it.

Woo and might I had hoo! I've been sooooooo waiting for this slider, I'm sick of fiveheaded Sims. I never understood Maxis obsession with large foreheads.

This is what I have been waiting for! Thank you so much! I have always hated having the weird shaped, high-foreheads!

WOW!
Thx so much for that one, jonah!! x333 This slider will definitly be useful. But now there is another problem... the ears. XD For they move up and down with the forehead... it looks pretty strange, when you decrease the range of the forehead, and the ears move down with it... now I have ears on lawer jaw hight. XDD It really REALLY would be great, if you could add an ear slider, so you can move them up and down seperate from the rest of the head... also, the headshape. could you maybe make a slider, that changes the headshape, but without making the whole head thin/broad?
I attached a picture, to make my intentions clearer. XD

Not possible, as they have no proper bone assignment. You would have to create something as the elf ear slider, that means creating a real morph. And I don't think I can or want to do that at this time.

I think I could instead make a slider that adjusts the width of the lower head area. Not sure if it will look acceptable, but I will try.

Hmm, okay. I get it. XD So then... would it be possible to move the upper head (forehead, hair, etc...) but without moving the ears with it? So that you decrease the hight of the forehead, but the ears stay at their primal position...?

Well, yeah. That would be fine, too. But then you would have to include the ears to that area as well, wouldn't you? For the upper head would really be too broad then, without the ears included... ôo But I'm curious about the result of your idea. XD

Thank you so much for this and your other sliders because my sims look less fugly. :D

I'm curious if anything can ever been done about the fatness/width of sims' necks. If you take away some of the "huge head syndrome" by removing some of the width and size from the head, then you're left with a big neck that doesn't quite fit and some strange looking joints poking at the sides.

No. Roughly speaking, the ears are attached to the hair and forehead area. They all have the same bone assignment and can't be moved separately.

Well, as I said, the ears can't be moved. I can move mouth, eyes, nose etc. as they all have bone assignments, but not the ears. The ears can only be moved together with the hair area. As I said, I will try to put something together, but i don't know if it will be usable.

I can't thank you nearly enough for this slider. It makes my Sims look less freakish.
