The Sims 3: What about Breast-Sizes?

Edit: Hi Visitor, please imagine that this post was written long time before the Sims 3 was released. The modding-scene is still alive but it takes time. Please use the site search or tags to find more posts about The Sims.

Today i’ve visited a few official and leading inofficial websites to get the latest news about The Sims 3 (Release: February 20, 2009).

There has been the rumor that we could not build our own houses in The Sims 3 due to the new open neighborhood. This point is not totally clear so i wanted to find more info about that.

Another important question is about the customizable breast-size of female Sims. I often read about it the search requests – and i understand that need ;)

Read here what i have found out about Sims 3 breast-sizes and more…

Is there a building mode in Sims 3?

Okay, i didn’t see a screenshot of the Sims 3 house-building mode yet. To be honest, i don’t know for sure if you can create your own houses.

But i simply cannot imagine that Maxis would steal this most-beloved and important feature from the gamers. Creating a mansion stone by stone always has been one of the most important parts of the whole Sims-series.

Luckily, in the latest “Making of…” video, a guy says something like: “…some players want to build houses, some want to do other things, The Sims 3 has it all…”

Additional neighborhood tool!

On the other hand there won’t be another neighborhood than the standard one in the basic game. That’s a sad fact.

But Maxis want to release an additional tool to create own neighborhoods.

In The Sims 2 you always had to go the long and rocky road to create a landscape with streets and lots by using SimCity 4. Since ages i’m waiting for more in-game neighborhood tools but they never appeared.

So a stand-alone “Body Shop for neighborhoods” is better than nothing.

The Create a Sim Menus!

In the same “Making of…” video you can see a number of menus of the new “Create a Sim” editor. It really seems to work a million times better than the old Sims 2 Family Creator.

I deeply hope that there will be all the import/export/actualize functions inside the game’s CAS and we never need Body Shop anymore to create own outfits.

I’ve made a few screenshots of the menus, look carefully, they tell us something about customizable breast-sizes:

On the first page of CAS you give the Sims a name, gender, zodiac and age.

The “Create a Sim” (CAS) Editor looks cool and contains some innovations. But what about the possible body shapes? Let’s see:

Only 2 rulers for the body shape of this guy. And only the belly seems to be affected.

Maxis knows why they show us this most interesting menu only with a male sim :)

But anyway, i don’t think that the female version will have more rulers for the breast sizes. It will be pretty much the same thin/heavy/muscle ruler like in the male window.

Hair can have up to 4 different color zones (Roots, Base, Tips, Highlights)...

In the screenshot above you can see a detail preview screen at the down left corner of CAS. There’s also a navigation button (zoom and turn). And well, this picture also shows clearly how flat standard Sims 3 women are :(

This photo shows the "Facial Details" Designer.

Closely looking at a Sims 3 face gives us an idea of the enlarged number of polygons. The mesh is much smoother than in Sims 2.

"Shape Presets" only shows default thumbnails yet.

Sims 3 women remain to be unnatural!

Though these pictures are no absolute proof i do not think that we can change the breast-sizes of Sims 3 females. Every real woman has a different breast size and shape but not in the Sims 3.

I also was looking very carefully to many in-game screenshots but each and every female character was appearing exactly the same to me – at that most attractive body zone.

I don’t understand Maxis’ reasons which may be mostly political. But the game will be marked as “inappropriate for children” anyway, due to some “nudity” and “violence”, so why don’t they add a button and make numerous fans happy?

A new motivation for modders!

We can discuss this topic until the Sims 3 come out on February 20 but i already know:

If we want our Sims 3 to look sexy, maybe super hot or at least really unique (and not in the one-way Maxis wants them) we have to figure out the file-structures again and start modding The Sims 3.

I guess this will happen anyway, though it will be a very long way to go again.

Thanks for reading. If you know something more about the building mode and breast sizing, please write a comment ;)

   Look at this picture I found of a sim girl, she’s not exactly flat chested: http://lh3.ggpht.com/andreu.rio/SCcI_udN_TI/AAAAAAAAAVo/2setbPHh9bI/sims3%5B7%5D.jpg

   Wow, she’s really hot! But i think i have seen this pic before and it’s not a sims 3 character.

   I can’t remember the link but there is a guy who creates such pics from the sims 2 in Photoshop and Poser (not me *lol*). I must search the internet for him…

   I will write a post about it when i can find some facts…

   Thanks for the link, Carolyn!

   The Sims is a great game but I have always built and designed very large houses and the standard largest lots in the game are not as large as I’d like them to be. Does anyone know if this sims 3 will have larger lots this time for building? also if you look at the new trailer it shows a house being custom built so I am sure there is build mode.

   Breasts will grow along with the fatness slider, making slim girls with large breasts or fat girls with small ones will be impossible. People will have to adjust the mesh. As soon as the game’s released, I’ll be on it, but like you said, it’ll take a while. Better gather up some modders!

    These screenshots are really weird, theyre totally not what my cas looks like. nor is it the same room.
    no there is no adjustment slider for boobs.
    YES you can make houses, though there is a lack of furniture but that will come out in expansion packs :)

    Game is sh!t, I am a maxis fan, but they decided they didnt like fans I guess, making no ability to really mod anything beyond color tweaks.

    I say, stick with sims 2 until Maxis wakes up and understand the only thing that gives their games longevity is for us…US…to mod it, not them and then make us pay for every tiny new little mesh, hairstyle, clothing, etc.

    I guess instead of going for the majority of people on earth, they are now targetting the game for the under 18 crowd…good luck with that, keep in mind your average fan of the series is well over 18.

    Once again, dont buy this POS until maxis either relinquishes tools that allow for modding, or we get some good tool making hackers on the scene.

    yes, you can create houses/lots. Once you click on a house or open lot, a menu pops up with some information and various options. One of those options is build mode. You can also modify pre made houses in the same way.

    Hope that helps some. :)

    i think its ok but should have more diffrences on the create a sim. they dont have close ups of important moments, which i liked. I think they rushed it to much and should make a body creater and stuff so people can evolve it on their own.

    Katy the reason the screenshots are different from the actual CAS is because that was well before the game was released.. That was still a beta progress.

    I’m actually getting bored with this game already. It’s nothng like Sims 2. The best part of Sims 3 was custom content. Downloading custom content by other people and being able to make your own was the reason I played Sims 2 for so long. I mean how could I ever have gotten tired of it when new content was released on Modthesims2 every week! But there’s nothing for Sims 3.

    Oh and also the sims are ugly in here. And they have double chins that’s not easy to get rid of.

    Doorman, There isnt much for the sims 3 at the moment because a lot of people are still working out how to work it. There is a modthesims3.org you know. And modthesims3 are working on how to mod the game and make custom content. Once they reveal to us how they do that, they’ll be sims 3 content all over the place ! :D

    So there is no way to increase the breast size in the current sums 3?… its one size for all?
19. MaXsiM says:

    June 9, 2010 at 8:37 am

    There is no official way to increase boobs, but there is a mod on modthesims.info that adds sliders to the sim creator. I didn’t test it by myself but people say it works great.
