Can this morph hair as well? I was thinking I could try creating people from Pokémon Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire, Diamond/Pearl, Black/White and X/Y.

That's an interesting question. Hair is affected by DMap morphs so it certainly could be done. However, in the uv_1 hair is mapped to the same area as the head (and the shoulders etc for long hair) so any hair morph would also affect the head and maybe upper body. And of course it would affect all hairs. It might be usable for characters that wear only one hair, though. I'm not sure why a morph would be better than just making the hair the way you want but I don't know exactly what you're trying to do.

If you want to try, I think you can just convert a hair mesh to OBJ, keep that as the base, make a morph mesh from it, and plug those into the MorphMaker DMap tab. If you're using Blender use the export settings: Write Normals, Include UVs, Keep Vertex Order.

Hi, It's me again with more questons!)
Default head, that we exporting has flat ears, big eyes and uses strange textures. And from previewer we can export only one preset at once. It can be handy if we can export all presets we preview as one "base head". Is it possible? Or can we change this base head we exporting for different one?
And can we export presets from previewer for custom slider (make "personal" slider for specific presets) not only for presets?
Also there were old slider mod, in which you can you console instead of active points, is it possible to do with morphmaker sliders?

Happy to answer the best I can.

The default head MM exports is the game head mesh. It looks a little different from what you see in CAS and the game because it has no morphs. I think the game uses some default morphs besides the sliders we use. If you mean the entire body mesh has strange textures, the texture mapping may look strange because that's the uv1, the second uv that's used to map the body to the DMaps. If you mean the head, I don't know what's strange about it.

I don't really understand what you're asking. The base heads are the base heads, if you use something else the morph won't look like what you expect. You can export a preset as a morph mesh that can be modified and used as a morph mesh. I don't know why you would want to export all the presets as one mesh. If you mean you want to export a whole preset as one mesh MM already does that.

Exporting a slider is kind of meaningless - you'd have to know how much of each morph is being used. If you want a particular combination of morphs, make a preset and add the modifiers you want with the values determining how much of them is used.

Yes, you can make a Sim Modifier that can be used in a script for console commands. MM won't make the script.

Hope that helps!

I tried it and it's amazing. The tutorial is very easy to follow, THANK GOD it included blender Cmar, as always, this was incredibly well done. The baking process of the deformation map doesn't take that much in my case, so it was really easy to retry multiple times to get the perfect shape i wanted. Love the possibility to change the cursor style, that's very handy. Settings are pretty straightforward and self-explanatory, which is great for a tool of this caliber. So many possibilities including pre-set meshing. What else to say, very well done! Can't wait to come up with a slider i really want instead of doing yet another butt slider! What's up with that btw? So many butt sliders! XD

I was worried that the rather complicated process of constructing sliders would be difficult for many people and tried hard to simplify and make it clear, so it means a lot that you and others have said it's easy. So thank you so much! Even though I'm currently working on another butt slider, lol!

Does the Chance For Random have any effect on full body presets? When I was messing with Luumia's ear presets I gave them a percentage chance of 1 and the game will use them when I press the randomise button.
I've done the same with the medium-short height preset, again by Luumia, and set the percent to 100 and disabled it for all ages but Teens, yet the game will never choose it, ever, when randomising a Teen in CAS.

At this point your guess is as good as mine. Could be worthwhile asking about on the EA forums.

Clever idea for shorter teens, btw!

Edit: After poking around I found that the Chance for Random doesn't seem to work the way you'd expect. (Surprise surprise!) There are game presets with values of 1 that don't get picked every time or even very often. So I tried higher numbers, which did have an effect. My guess is that the actual chance percentage is about 10 times the number you enter. I also found the game won't pick the same preset twice in a row. By setting two body presets with a chance of 10 I got it to alternate between them, and got only 1 other preset out of 20 or 30 clicks.

Edit2: Saw your post on EA forums. I was testing with clones of EA presets - if you got different results with Luumia's presets I wonder if they're being treated differently for some reason? Should be interesting to see what they say.

After reading your edit here, after I had already posted on the forums, I went back to Luumia's file and made no alterations other than setting the random percent to 10 and the game is now actually picking them when I randomise a Sims' frame.
It seems I have to get things wrong and post about it before I can actually get anything working in my game.
Now I'm going to disable them for all ages except Teens and see if they still work. I think making alterations to the file in stages is probably best.

I have a habit of figuring out problems 10 minutes after posting to ask for help, so I know what you mean.

If you figure out what change was preventing them from randomizing, please let me know!

It *appears* to be setting them for only Teens that is stopping the game from using them.
I set them to only YA and the game was still randomly picking them although it was still able to pick them for ANY age Teen and up even if the preset only showed up in the YA section of CAS and the change was applied to all ages once selected. So shrinking a YA and then switching to Elder meant the Elder was still short, for example.
It appears as though my plan for shorter Teens isn't going to work out using this method. Ah well.

Before I start extracting sims files again and dive into getting things set up. Would the tool be able to create morphs for the two empty slots on the kids body? Since they presumably don't have any scripts linked to them.

According to EA there's only one empty slot, in micro mode. A lot of the toddler/child body regions don't have any morphs associated with them so you could clone those HotSpotControls and add morphs to them.

All presets and sliders are working correctly in my game and I haven't seen any other complaints, so you'll have to be more specific about what's going wrong and link me to where everyone is having issues. Did you re-enable mods and cc in your game after the patch?

I always play with cc so i know how enable mods scripts cc etc, and ive made a few of these sliders as well, but mine are currently not working in game.
I will check again for whatever reason it may be before i come back.

also, if you check the SimsVIP post of incompatible mods list after every major patch they have listed of mods that have been reported as broken and a few of the sliders (were) listed yesterday, here is the link:
https://simsvip.com/2018/06/19/brok...tch-seasons-ep/
I dont think many people who use the sliders, (mostly tumblr users) know where the actual resource is from far as the morpher program so they probably didnt know how they'd tell you besides the creators themselves but today it has been updated as working!

The sliders and presets on the list were reported as working when I checked this morning. Zerbu's presets were not made with MorphMaker. If you have an example of a slider/preset that's not working you can upload it so I can take a look.

Yes, I just have to load up the meshes and figure out what the map dimensions are and what the new animal regions are. Probably next version.

There's already a few height sliders, and there's a shorter teens mod but I don't know if it still works.
