Been messing around with the dials on Victoria 4.2, but so far this one (in red) doesn't do anything

It reduces the strength of the Joint Controlled Magnets effect. Zero gives full strength, minus 1 gives zero strength.

What's that? You don't know what JCMs are? Basically, they are built-in magnets that operate when you move a joint away from its zero position. For example, lift an arm, and V4's breast lifts up and stretches. It's a JCM doing that.

*I'm sorry to say but that's not completely correct. JCM is short for joined controlled morph.
JCM's are used for a long time, Victoria 3 and other models had it already. Joint controlled magnets or deformers is pretty new, and is used with the new G2 models and V4/A4.
JCM and Deformers do practically the same Job,  they deform the body in a natural way when you bend, twist or rotate a bodypart. Using magnets deformers has an advantage that you can  translate them in the clothing, (magnetise clothing) so that the clothing follows the body contours when you pose the model, and you don't have to made special morphs in the clothing.
Unfortunately V4 still has some JCM morphs, so you still have to add these morphs in the conforming clothing.

Thanks, bopper, but to be honest I'm fed up with hearing different versions / corrections of what JCM actually stands for.  No doubt you are right, but what the hell, it does the same thing.
:O)

Okay, sorry don't want to be a wise-crack. You're right: it does the same thing... Let's keep it by that. 🆒

OooOOOoooooo that's what "magnetise clothing" means........

Handy, handy - nice one.
