#ts4 mods
I finally made a satisfying version of myself, as I am unearthing my identity as genderfluid / non-binary, thanks to two awesome queer mods that I want to shoutout in this post!
PcNerd on LoversLab (making an account is easy and so easy for access to more “sexual” or “graphic” mods) made this slider + overlays that are just perfect to give a flat chest to your femine frame sim! It’s easy to use and is just BEAUTIFUL. It’s so good for a neutral chest aesthetic too!!

NeonOcean on ModTheSims made this mod that lets you assign pronouns beyond the binary to your sims so the game can properly refer to your sim, which also includes binary pronouns that you can give sims with “opposite” frames.
Huge thanks to creators who make queer mods, the sims can be a beautiful outlet to explore identity and deal with dysphoria. As silly as it may seem, I think I’m actually going to show my sim to my therapist and surgeon when the time comes. I shaped it perfectly to my ideals, and it’s allowing me to see my body like in my dreams.
In-Game Camera Replacement
So, if you don’t know I made a camera mod a while ago and it was created because I assumed the issue with my previous camera mod had to do with the new first person camera being added and that some code was missing from the old mod. Come to find out that isn’t correct and I forgot to make a post with the addendum. What was actually happening was that the camera mod was adding another camera to the game and if you moved too fast, which the mod allowed you to do, it would separate the cameras causing the fuck ups.
SO here is what I did instead. I made another .ini file and replaced it with the file in the BIN folder that houses the game. I’m gonna include that here and if you want to use it, go ham. I recommend saving the original camera.ini file in case something goes wrong.
Steps:
- Remove the original mod from your mods folder for the reasons stated above.
- Go to :C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res
- Copy the Camera.ini file to a secure location (I just put it on my desktop)
- Paste the new file into the folder: :C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res
- ????
- Profit
if there is an issue, simply place the original camera file back in the res folder. I am not much of a modder, so there isn’t much to it. Also, you will have to do this every time the game updates or you repair your game.

Edit April 2022: Hi! I do not recommend using this mod for your camera. It will replace the new camera that EA added in an update. The new camera has features that this mod does not. This mod will not break your game, but do keep that in mind when downloading this.

CAS Mod: Presets Selection for Randomized Sims
In my attempt to create more decent looking randomized sims, I went through the various body & facial presets (as well as eyebrows, beards and skintones) and picked those that, at least in my opinion, look decent on most sims, thus, hopefully, making for more decent looking randomized sims on average. In addition to the presets selection, I adjusted some parameters used for adding variation to the body presets. Kids and toddler presets are not included in this mod, and I also didn’t bother with occult specific presets.
You can use this mod simultaneously with the mod “No Make-Up & No Accessories On Randomized Sims”.
Download and more info below the cut.
Some elements I focussed on:
- One thing I was trying to do are stronger and more natural looking facial features. For example, I went for stronger jaws and wider noses, but then also deselected a lot of the eye presets that look somewhat crooked or cartoon-like to me. I also selected the more smooth looking chins, cheeks and foreheads presets.
- Eyebrows and beards also make a huge difference, in my opinion. I only left a few neutral options for both. This, by the way, also makes it more likely for a randomized sim not to have a beard. (Per default, the game just picks randomly from all of the beard options, therefore, almost all randomized male sims show up with a beard.)
- And yep, the skintones. I think the texture of many skintones looks either patchy or is otherwise poorly made (although I’m not sure if this is partly an issue with certain graphic cards/computers). I actually deselected a bunch of the lighter skintones from the neutral and the cold panel, because they look somewhat unnatural to me with the very grey or even purple undertones. As well as a few others. (As you can’t disallow skintones for randomization like you can with other body presets, I used a workaround by reassigning those skintones as vampire skintones, so they won’t show up randomly on normal sims anymore.)
- Besides, a huge frustration factor for me has always been the poor posture on (for the most part) male sims. There are actually only two male body presets with a decent posture. I used them (as well as a third one) but adjusted both to some degree to look more like the average human body. I also only used three of the female body presets and adjusted one of them (the skinny curvy one) to be a bit heavier than the default.
Overall I’m quite happy with the result for female sims and, well, I did my best for the male sims under given circumstances :D At some point I needed to call it a day, so here it is:
DOWNLOAD
I provide the mod as a zip file (you need to unzip it with a free program like WinRAR or 7-Zip) containing the following parts as package files:
- Body Presets Selection & Tuning (Body, Cheeks, Chins, Eyes, HeadShape, Jaws, Mouths, Noses)
- Deselected Eyebrows
- Deselected Beards
- Deselected Skintones
Notes regarding the files:
- The files with the deselected eyebrows, beards and skintones will count as cc and trigger the cc flag. Besides, the deselected eyebrows and beards will be also excluded for genetic randomization (other presets are not affected based on my testing). So I provide those files separately for easy removal (and in case you only wanna use some parts of the mod).
- For more experienced users: You can also unmerge the body presets package file with S4S to receive the sub-files for body, cheeks, chins, eyes, headshape, jaws, mouths and noses as well as the tuning file, if you want to pick only certain parts of the mod here, as well, or adjust the files. (Half of this enterprise was actually looking up the presets and organizing them into categories.) Please note, if you mess around with the files in S4S, don’t save over the tuning file, it’s a certain type of file that needs special handling when saving in S4S (I used a workaround so that the decimals would actually be saved correctly).
Questions, conflicts and TOU:
- For clarification: This mod only disallows certain presets to be picked when a sim is randomized. All presets are still “there” and can be picked manually in CAS.
- Same as for the mod “No Make-Up & No Accessories On Randomized Sims”, this mod might conflict with other mods aiming at manipulating body preset parameters. Let me know if you encounter any conflicting mods or issues.
- Please, also contact me in case you intend to use the mod or parts of the mod for other creations.
