Game guide:Mosaic-blur removal

Mosaic-Blur Removal is the general term covering mods which remove the censoring blur in Sims games.

The Sims
Removing pixels in the first game was relatively simple. This can be done by enabling the move_objects on cheat and move a Sim away from a bathtub or a shower. The censor will be left behind and the Sim will be nude.

The Sims 2
At first you could only get rid of it by using SimPE and changing the BCON and BHAV files (which is a messy business), but later on a mod was released in .package format.


 * If you have the base game or University installed without the patch, you can remove the blur by using the cheat intProp censorGridSize 0
 * If you have the University patch installed or any later expansion packs, you need to use one of the mods below.

The Sims 3
Early attempts at removing the mosaic blur effect that obscures Sims when they have a shower or bathe, woohoo or use a toilet involved a hack which replaced core game files for The Sims 3. Now, several mods have been developed that non-destructively remove the mosaic blur effect.

By default the texture for a Sim's naked body contains no genital detail and removing the pixel effect does not reveal any explicit or graphic detail. Also, when sitting on the toilet, Sims do not remove their underwear. It is possible to apply mods that create more realistic skins in order to give Sims bodies with anatomical correctness, and corresponding meshes also exist; including raised nipples for females and penis meshes for males.

Due to the nature of the blur-removal mod, it will have to be updated for each new patch, expansion and stuff pack if new effects are added.
