Height Diversity
Version: 0.2.0
Tested with game version: 1.128.90.1030

Gives your Sims different body heights by age and gender, so a household stops looking like a line of identical clones.

What it does
  • Automatic heights. When a Sim changes age, it receives the height for its age and gender, teens get the teen height, and young adults, adults and elders get the male or female height for their gender. An elder keeps the height of its gender.
  • Children, toddlers and infants are not affected.
  • The same three heights are also available in CAS under the Forehead category, so a Sim can also get its height while you edit it. A preset belongs to one age and gender (teen, female, male) the game offers the one that matches the Sim you are editing, so CAS is not a free height choice.
  • Each height changes the Sim's overall height without deforming the body, and the Sim keeps it through save and reload.
Sims that do not change age keep the height they already have. Applying the height to every Sim on load is planned for a later release.

Requirements
  • DLC required: None (base game only).
  • Script mods allowed in Game Options: Yes.

Installation
  1. Copy "LyzerVice_HeightDiversity.package" and "LyzerVice_HeightDiversity.ts4script" into your "Mods/" folder.
  2. Enable "Custom Content and Mods" and "Script Mods" in Game Options (they are two separate options).
  3. Restart the game. Heights are applied automatically as your Sims change age, in CAS the preset for the Sim's own age and gender is available under the Forehead category.

Compatibility
  • Conflicts: other mods that change how tall Sims are (other height mods) do not combine.
  • Patch sensitivity: the heights rely on game internals that can change with a patch.

Known issues
  • The height is applied when a Sim changes age. A Sim that never changes age keeps its current height, applying the height to every Sim on load is planned for a later release.
  • Changing the previewed age inside CAS does not change the height there. The Sim gets the correct height as soon as it is in the world and changes age.
  • The body presets have no custom icon in CAS, so they are easy to miss there. The automatic height your Sims get when they change age does not depend on them.
  • All Sims share one set of animations, so Sims of very different heights can look slightly off together in some interactions, adapted animations are planned.

Uninstallation
  • Delete "LyzerVice_HeightDiversity.package" and "LyzerVice_HeightDiversity.ts4script" from your "Mods/" folder. The game starts without errors and the Sims return to their default height, the presets disappear from CAS.
