No Censor Blur Mosaic - All Sims

 

Thought I'd knock this mod together as the three versions out there that I know of (Original on MTS and updated version on Nexus Mods and, of course, Wicked Whims.) have certain outdated or incompatibility problems.

The original on MTS is simply outdated. No coding for pets or the werewolves stuff.

The one on Nexus Mods is fine on its own, but is incompatible with Wicked Whims.

The Wicked Whims version no longer covers (or should that be uncovers? ) all age groups.

So then I scrambled together this version that covers all ages and pets as the original versions (MTS and Nexus Mods) do, while also being compatible with other nudity functions of Wicked Whims.

You do not need to have Wicked Whims installed if you want to use this version of the No Censor Blur Mosaic mod. It's just added into the coding for this mod now if you ever wish to use WW.  However, if you do use Wicked Whims - as I do - then you will need to place this mod into the Overrides Folder, otherwise the Wicked Whims version may take precedence during game load and this mod won't be doing anything.

If you need more info on what an Overrides Folder is and does, see this page - https://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php?/topic/12798-more-nesting-depth-for-folders/

 

Clothing when in Showers/Baths

This mod does not add nor remove underwear or diapers on kids, toddlers or infants. If children wear clothing in shower it is due to other issues. Toddlers and infants wear diapers as per Maxis coding. To fix toddlers wearing diapers and slippers in bath use this mod here - - https://modthesims.info/d/669876/bathtime-fix-for-toddlers.html - Go to comments section of that mod and see a link the modder made for the same diaper removal for infants. Also at bottom of that MTS page is link to LittleMsSam mod for clearing away clothing in shower. Also Sims4Studio has CC batch fix function to remove bathing flag on any CC clothing that has been allowed for shower. You can also use MC Dresser module to copy and paste proper nude outfit from one clothing category to sim in shower wearing clothes so it removes the clothing.  

 

1.96 Infants news - No update required for 1.96. Works fine for 1.96 Infants patch. Even though no new code was added to XML file for infants, there is no censor blur on infants when bathing, nappy changing and breastfeeding while using this mod. More than likely infants are assigned to using the same blur as toddlers in the core files, hence this mod works on infants without Maxis adding any new coding specifically for infants to the XML file this mod uses.

Thank you 😄

Amazing, thanks 🙂

Dommage ça ne fonctionne pas chez moi, peut-être est ce à cause des récentes MAJ.

Autant pour moi, c’est parfait!!

 

Utilisez-vous Wicked Whims? Si oui, placez-vous ce mod dans le "Dossier Overrides?" Vous devez le faire.

Oui et oui ça fonctionne! Ressource téléchargé aussi 😉

Merci pour le Mod

Thank you so much, I thought something was wrong with my game. You are a lifesaver, thanks again😄

thanks!! I was looking like crazy for the update of this mod! I really thank you very much 👌!

 

Edit: 

I already installed it, I did the overrides folder and the resource file, but unfortunately I still see the clothes in the sims children (a white outfit, attached photo) and toddlers, could you help me? Thanks in advance!

Edited February 20, 20233 yr by Viri

It won't let me edit, but I think it works, I remember that on one occasion I installed a mod so that toddlers and children don't wear clothes when bathing, but I think the mod no longer works or it disappeared from my folder because now my sims are they bathe again with clothes, it seems strange to me I had it for more realism but in the end I think it no longer works.

There is a "batch fix" option in S4S (Sims4Studios) to prevent clothing from being worn in showers/baths. It's an age old problem that has nothing to do with the mod here. I'd say the problem stems from using CC clothing, where the creators use Maxis mesh templates to base their work on, and this then causes some odd behaviors with Maxis default clothing thereafter. Such as specific job uniforms going crazy and also wearing clothes in shower/bath. Hence Maxis are in no rush to fix it in eight, nine, ten years of TS4 since it's not directly them that cause it. I dunno, I'd have to go check on the EA Help website to see if non mod users and/or non CC clothing users have ever reported this same clothing glitch. And I hate going to that website. Trying to find anything specific in that vast, sprawling mountain of reports is a pain in the butt.

If using the batch fix method with S4S, it fixes things in general, preventing future mishaps of new sims wearing clothing in showers/baths, but you may find that sims already "infected" with wearing clothing in showers still persists. One of my workarounds for these stubborn cases, is to take sim into Cas and give them a temporary nude outfit in a category like swimwear, then next time they take shower with clothing on, is to pause game, use MC to copy nude swimwear and paste it onto them when in shower, so that the sim is now properly back to being nude in shower/bath. Then of course remove nude outfit from swimwear, to prevent any embarrassing moments next time they're down at the public beach having a swim in the sea.

I also use this same method to fix things like hairstyles in showers, even if sim does get properly naked. Their hairstyle could be one with ribbons, headscarfs and so on, that look daft in showers. So I do same thing to make sure they have proper shower hairstyles with no accouterments.  

Thank you very much for the suggestions, I don't know how to put my child sims in nude clothes from the CAS, is there a mod for that? Thanks for the help.
The strange thing is that these clothes are directly from the game 😕

Hi! I'm going to let you know that the new version of WW is specifically this one: V176.1 (02.15.2023) is the one that causes the problem 😕 . I hope turbo notices and can correct it otherwise I'll have to stick with this version: V175.4 (09.01.2023).

And thanks again for your great help! 🤝

Hello again! Well, I come to comment that the ww continues to show me an error, specifically with the girls' swimwear and for now I will try another older version. I must also say that the method you recommended worked excellently but I have a question, when I fart the outfit in the shower and I send it back to me, it resets me, that is, it puts the white garment that the game comes with by default, I attach screenshots. My question is then, should I paste the outfit every time the sim goes to bathe? Really thanks for the help, and sorry for so much post, it won't let me edit.

Edit: I have tried three previous versions of ww and the problem persists 😕 . The only way to fix it is by removing the ww, I can't find any other way.

 

 

Thank you so much!!!

Bro you are LEGIT! Thanks alot😎

Thank you for this! Just started playing for the first time since 2019 and was disappointed that breastfeeding was censored 😐

The infants update broke it just a heads up.

Would be awesome to get this updated for infants patch!

Dang guys, it's been a day. Give the man a break! Also, don't bug our creators. 😄

Didn't realise I was harassing the guy :F Would be nice to see the mod updated though, really hate the blocky pixel effect.

 

I love Red Dwarf btw!

It would be nice. Hopefully it won't be a huge task for him. So many mods broke with this patch.

It would be fantastic to have this mod compatible with the infant patch:D

you're a life saver for this!! will you be updating for infants? ❤️

I will say in my experience of being a member since this site started, that CoolSpears is fantastic about updating his mods.  Give him a little bit of time.  Those asking if he will update this mod, might want to check out the rules again.  While to you may think you're simply asking out of curiosity, it definitely comes across as bugging when I haven't been able to be as active here as I once was and I come to this thread and literally the last 4 of the most current 6 comments is asking/hinting for a fix, and the patch JUST came out.  I'm just saying. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the mod, for me it works correctly with the last patch and with the new expasion without problems. So it is compatible with version 1.96.

It works for me after the latest patch but it causes major lag issues for some reason. My sims take ages to do things! They're just standing doing nothing. As soon as I remove it from my overrides folder and out of the game my sims can move again.

It might be compatible with your game, but I wouldn't trust it. At least not until you hear from Coolspear. It's never good to use mods until they are cleared. And just because it works in your game, doesn't mean it will work in mine, or anyone else's. I would advise anyone with this mod in their game to remove it until you hear from Coolspear.

@hellogreeny, I would leave it out for the time being. It's not really working if you have to remove it for your sims to move.

 

Also, please check out the the rules. We ask that you refrain from telling people that things work in your game. As I stated, it might break mine or someone else's. There are a lot of handy things in the rules. 

I would add that as the highly revered and respected retired script modder Twallan from NRAAS warned many, many times in his modding era (and other modders such as TFM, Blue, JASF also warn)- just because a mod appears to be working correctly in game there's a LOT that goes on in the background that may be affected by using an outdated mod which doesn't always make itself known in forefront.

Like Kimi advised, I would not use ANY mod on an updated patched game until the modder specifically says they've tested it and it's working, or has updated it.

I've extracted the xml this mod uses and no new coding has been added in 1.96 patch. I've not yet been able to load up the game since patching, too many mods to check first. So I have yet to see with my own eyes if infants have the mosaic blur or not with this mod installed. I've seen mixed reports both here and on MTS that say there is no blur on infants with this mod, others say there is. If infants do have mosaic blur then it will be due to a new xml Maxis have created for 1.96. Not the xml in this mod as Maxis have not altered it. Again, this mod is not broken as is. But I've yet to confirm if it needs a new xml added that I've yet to find in game files. Once I get in game and see infants for myself, while using this mod that is not broken, then I'll know for myself if I have to now look for a new Maxis xml to add to this mod.

Everyone please be patient until I have time to confirm this, because finding a new XML - if that is indeed the case - can be like finding a needle in a haystack, especially when Maxis don't even give the xmls a proper, relevant name to help with the search. Like the original xml for this mod is just called "default." (So are many others called "default.") Very lazy and very unhelpful. Forget helping modders, how can that even help themselves ffs?!

For those reporting lag with this mod. That sounds very much like the Simulation Lag the game has long suffered from. See my simulation lag mods for more details. There is very little data on the xml for this mosaic blur mod and could not possibly effect the game so much as to cause such lag.

Also reports here and on MTS about sims being forced into clothing (underwear) once blur is removed. Once again, the small amount of data on this xml is related only to the size and body position of each pixel of blur. It has absolutely no coding whatsoever to do with adding clothing to sims if the censor blur is removed. In fact, as far as the game is concerned, is "aware," it is still causing the mosaic blur effect to happen, only the pixel size reduced to zero so that it blocks nothing visually.

This mod cannot be responsible for any other game issues other than the mosaic blur as the original XML used has no coding for anything else other than the mosaic blur. That's it. That's all. Just size and body position of blur. The fact that Maxis have called many files the same name, "default," and expect the game to not have conniptions over that is the real worry. But that's a whole other matter. I know, I know, all XMLs have their own, unique number, so the name is not really important. But so what, it's still lazy and unhelpful (to modders) to not name a game file anywhere near close to the relevance of its function.  Like "Censor_Blur," or "Mosaic," for the name of this xml would be okay. Calling it default? Again? Like twenty others? Not okay! Very frikken lazy and unhelpful.

I bow before your greatness.thank you. 

@coolspear, thank you so much for checking in on this particular thread/mod. We all love this one!

Like @Kimi said, this one is an essential mod for me, so thank you very much for checking first. I have disabled it for the meantime and I prefer to wait until you have the opportunity to see for yourself how it works.

Thank you!

Thank you CoolSpear

Thanks,CoolSpear for the fast replay!
I prefer to wait until you have the opportunity to see for yourself how it works,too

Well, I simply had to risk jumping into the game for a quick check, knowing full well I'll probably be hit with LEs from mods I've yet to check, some mine, some from other creators. And indeed, got a few LEs as expected. But I won't let that bother me too much until after I've checked and updated all mods. But I wanted to see if two mods were working, this mod and the unhidden traits mod.

So, as I suspected, this mod is working fine, seeing Maxis did not change any of the code. Played that new family from the EP video and tested infants in the bath, nappy change on table and breastfeeding and there is no censor blur for any of it. Repeat, no censor blur at any stage when anyone in the family used bath, showers and also whatever stuff they did with infants. Mod is working as it should. I suspect Maxis have coded infants in the core files to use the same blur that is for toddlers, hence mod works on infants even though Maxis made no new code for infants on the XML this mod uses. So I'm happy with it, seen it with my own eyes, confirmed all works fine. Case closed.

But I do have a lot of other LEs to go get sorted out. Grrrr. Bloody biggest patches ever!!! Akkk!

Thank you for checking! You're the very best. 

Sorry about the rest of the stuff!

I am soooo sorry about this. But I have a completely illogical hunch that EA is going to drop TS4 sooner rather than in the next few years. I just wish they left it in its best functional form.

I cannot figure out, for the life of me, how to download this. I'm new to this site and feel so lost. Lol. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can install this, if it's not too inconvenient? Thank you!

- Nevermind. I think I got it. 🙂

@Theglowworm2008 

Thank you😍

 

Although yes, the blur remover works fine, what do you think about for example bathing infants, they still wear a diaper?

As like all other age groups, you will need a CC nude clothing mod to remove diapers from infants. This censor blur mod cannot do anything like that. I am not aware of any website where there is such a CC nude clothing item for infants.

Am I missing something? I cant get this mod to work for me.

 

Update: I didn't realize I needed WW. I got it to work now
