The Ultimate Sims 4 Sliders Guide: Optimized, Conflict-Free Slider Set

from: Lana Byakko

Why do you need sliders?

Sliders in The Sims 4 are mods that greatly expand your options for customizing characters. They let you:

— Create unique body proportions (from athletic to plus-size)

— Fine-tune facial features (cheekbones, nose, lips, eyes)

— Work around the standard editor’s limitations (for example, glasses placement)

— Add realistic asymmetry and natural curves

✓ No duplicates

Tips for adjusting

1. Editing order:

— Start with overall proportions (shoulders, torso, hips)

— Then move to limbs (legs, arms)

— Finish with facial details

2. Check from multiple angles:

— Rotate the camera 360°

— Look at your sim in both profile and front view

3. Standard proportions:
