Custom Sliders Galore!

Any detailists out there? Dunno if anyone besides me is gonna want this, but I needed it for my game. Since there’s so many sliders now and I’m very particular about my sims’ eyeshape, sometimes I end up deforming the pupil. So I made 8 sliders, 4 for each eye that move exactly one vertex horizontaly or verticaly. That’s right, I made 8 sliders and 16 preview images just so I could move part of my sims’ eyeball one milimeter to the left. Wtf is wrong with me.

VERY Late-To-The-Party Sliders (Part 2)

Well, like a year ago I said I was putting the finishing touches & previews on these & guess what.  I still have a few in my to-do folder.

Single-Direction Sliders: These only slide in one direction, the right side does nothing.

Alien Nose (from the EAxis Alien face template)

I’ve been using this to create Alien-fied versions of other nose templates.

Elf Ear (from the EAxis Elf face template)

I know there are like a dozen elf ears running around. These match the EAxis ones.

Bi-Directional Sliders: Functions as a normal slider

Upper Eye Apex

Lip Curve Left Up/Down

Lip Curve Right Up/Down

Lip Center Pinch

Doesn’t do a whole heck of a lot on its own, I’ve mostly been using it to adjust other lip sliders.

Chin Rotate

Asymmetrically turns the chin to create an uneven jawline.

Just a bunch of new sliders! I included a brief description of each one so you can choose what to keep and what to delete. They are shown in order in the preview.

Personal sliders

Face depth. Ideal to create sims with flatter faces.

Outer Eye Corner Position. Moves the outer corner of the eye horizontally. May cause deformation of the eye texture.

Inner Eye Corner Position. Moves the inner corner of the eye horizontally. May cause deformation of the eye texture.

Pupil Height. Moves the middle of the eye up and down. I made this one to fix those eyesets with off-centered pupils. Not perfect, but does the job!

Septum Height. Moves the vertex that connects the nose with the face up and down.

Septum Depth. Moves the vertex that connects the nose with the face in and out.

Septum Height V2. Moves the vertex between the nosetip and the face up and down.

Requested sliders

Nosetip Pinch. Makes the nosetip sharper or rounder.

Nosetip Height. Moves the nosetip up and down.

Greek nose. Gives your sims a straight nose with a prominent glabella. The end result will vary depending of which face template you apply the slider to.

Chin Width. Changes the width of the chin without making it rounder.

Ears Height. Moves the ears up and down.

Upper Lip Size. Changes the size of the upper lip by moving its vertices up and down instead of resizing them.

Upper Lip Asymmetry. Makes one side of the upper lip bigger than the other.

Teeth Remover. Teeth are overrated anyway!! 😤😤😤

Lower Lip Size. Changes the size of the lower lip by moving its vertices up and down instead of resizing them.

Lower Lip Asymmetry. Makes one side of the lower lip bigger than the other.

Lower Lip Shape. Gives the lower lip the appearance of an inverted upper lip (it’s hard to explain lol). The end result will vary depending of which face template you apply the slider to.

Here are two sliders that have been very useful lately:

Eyelash Remover Slider. This is the updated version of my No Eyelashes Slider. They use the same package, so you can’t have both in your game. This one moves and resizes the whole eyelash mesh instead of just pushing back the first row of vertices. Same goal, but the new one doesn’t seem to cause glitchy eyelashes.

Teeth Height Slider. Sometimes when you heavily edit your sims faces their mouth and teeth become misaligned. This slider moves the denture up and down so you can relocate it in its right position.

Yeah, the thumbnails aren’t the usual ones. That’s because doing them this way it’s easier for me and tbh these sliders were mostly for personal use, but I just can’t help sharing everything I make lol. Please let me know if you run into any problem with them, especially the teeth one. For some reason it made BS crash at first but then it worked just fine??

Sure, why not lol. Threw another old one in too because yes.

Face Length Slider. Increases or decreases the length of the face. Eyes, mouth, teeth and nose are also affected. Very fun to look at tbh.

Lids Depth Slider. Good for creating heavy eyelids or monolids.

Yep, what an original name lol. I have another set of sliders in the making and then I’m done for a good while. Enjoy these?

Ten more sliders because you can never have enough sliders, amirite??? If your suggestion didn’t make it to this set don’t worry because I plan to release another one very soon! Also I know some thumbnails look the same but trust me, the sliders do different stuff lol.

I hate it when I find the perfect eyeshadow for my sims but it gets distorted because of their eyelid shape. Well, that shit’s over! I made these sliders to fine-tune the lids. Hopefully you’ll find them useful too!

As promised yesterday: Two new simple custom sliders for the nose (as modelled by Randomly Generated Geoff)!

On the right, we have the nose bridge angle slider, useful for making pointier nose bridges in profile view. 

On the left, we have the nose bridge curve slider. There’s one of these in-game already, but the maxis one’s curve starts lower down the nose in profile view. The curve on mine starts higher up, which for some noses produces smoother results when making noses that curve outwards, particularly on those with higher bridges (click here to see more previews and the difference between mine and maxis). Play around with both this one and maxis’ to see which offers better results.

Note: I’d designed both of these sliders to only really be used with the function on the left, but kept both two-directional just in case someone could get some use out of them that way, although they don’t work as well sliding to the right.

Not sure how useful these will be to anyone else, and they work better in some cases than others (could be said for a lot of even the Maxis sliders though) but hey, might as well share! And of course, if I messed up somewhere and these sliders are broken or cause conflicts I didn’t notice, give me a shout and I’ll fix the problem as soon as possible.

Quick upload! Two sliders I made mostly for personal use, but I’m sure they’ll be useful for more people. Sorry for the half-assed previews lmao.

No Eyelashes Slider: Eyelashes in TS2 are ugly, let’s be honest. With the base game slider you can make them smaller but they never quite disappear and sometimes they will deform. Well, no more! Now you can get rid of them for good.

Upper Face Width: There’s another base game slider with the same name and similar function, but mine doesn’t affect the cheekbones. I also find it to be smoother and less bumpy.

More sliders, plus my previous ear point slider, now with less bork!

New slider breakdown: there’s now a slider for a ear point for the side of the ear, rather than the top. Now you can make all sorts of elf ears! I also added two “smirk” sliders, one for each side of the mouth. Finally, there’s a slider for tooth size. Not sure if it’ll be super helpful for everyone, but if someone wants to, I don’t know, take out the Maxis teeth completely and add in new teeth accessories, they can now do that. IDK, mostly this slider was just made to see if teeth sliders could be made (yes, yes they can). Teeth and ears are available for all ages and genders, while the smirk is all ages except toddlers.

I also fixed the top ear slider. Now the icons look better, the most extreme right slided ear looks better, and kids and toddlers can now use the sliders. Woo!

So, here’s the first (late) part of that promised ten-years-of-KS-and-also-101-followers gift! I decided to get in on the custom slider action and make something I’ve been wanting for a long, long time: asymmetrical elf ears!

Why? Because I can. Maybe one of my sims is a half-elf. :P

Thanks to @withlovefromsimtown, I managed to make them one way only - so you don’t have weird forked ears. If you like weird forked ears, I’m happy to make some, though.

I mentioned working on a little silly experiment some time ago, and it is finally here! This should have been finished a lot sooner but I couldn’t get my impatient ass to focus on a single project…

There are a few ear plugs for TS2 but they all come in a similar size and in the larger ones the lobe is part of the accessory, which is kinda inconvenient (you have to make recolors to match every skintone you plan to use with them).

This is the best solution I could came up with now that sliders are a reality. It’s not perfect either: depending on the base face you start with, you will need to modify the ears with other sliders besides the one included to avoid clipping. Unfortunately some ears won’t work with these no matter what.

Teen to elder, both male and female. 12 recolors, mostly abstract marble-like textures. I forgot to include emo shit like the typical checkerboard pattern lmao.

On topic of sliders since I didn’t see anyone mention these on tumblr yet:
