Imagine this: You find a huge set of body presets, download it, put into your mod folder, and load the presets into your game. Only to realize they don’t show up for all occult sims in CAS. Unfortunately, a batchfix to add those tags, or an updated version of the presets doesn’t seem to exist. It’s DIY then. There are tutorials on how to add these tags with S4S, but there is an even more convenient tool for Windows computers to add the tags: CymarNYC’s MorphMaker.

Step one: Download and unzip the latest version of MorphMaker No need to run an installer.

Caution! If you’re from a country that uses a comma as decimal marker download version 4.3.1.0 from forum post #404 instead. You may have to scroll up a little. Although the top bar still says Morph Maker 4.3.0.0., this version will work with commas. Morph Maker 4.3.1.0

Step two: Make a backup of the file you want to edit. Better safe than sorry. Open MorphMaker by running TS4MorphMaker(.exe) from its folder. Windows will ask you if you really want to run the program at that point. Agree.

Step three: MorphMaker automatically detects your Sims folder and your mod folder. Check if the paths are correct by clicking on Setup.

Step four: At first glance MorphMaker looks quite intimidating. To edit tags click on the Create/Edit Slider and/or Preset Package tab. Open the file you want to edit by clicking on Select. Depending on how much data the file contains, MorphMaker might need a while to process it and may even become unresponsive. Just wait.

Step five: As soon as MorphMaker is ready, go to the Add/Edit CAS Presets tab. On the left hand you’ll see all presets included in your file. You now need to edit every single one to enable them for your occults in CAS. Select a preset on the left and then check the missing occult types in the Enable for: box. Done. That’s it.

You can save after every single edit by clicking on Save Preset, or save the entire package from time to time.

Can I request some community insight from anyone versed in Blender/MorphMaker?

I’m having problems with either my blender settings or the actual export of the object of faces and bodies for presets because all my attempts have blocky and results that break other parts of the face even when following tutorials to the t. As the two first pictures show on the jaw and ear gets broken despite the preset being a nose preset.

Here’s what my export of a MorphMaker(with nose edits). See the comparison of smoothness and blockyness.

"The base and morph mesh faces do not match!"

Does someone have a male face texture base for blender to make face presets?? Anytime I found one it would put the whole male body/face base on one side of the face when I’m only attempting to make a face preset.

Georgetown University’s peer-reviewed Journal of Communication, Culture & Technology run a podcast. They interviewed me for it.

So if you want to listen to a Brit academic (me) talk about fandom and Glee you should totally go and do that.
