Hi, I am the original Dummybump who created and released "dummybump_modded_player_creation.zip" on some other site, and I'll be releasing the updated version officially once I get the images and readme files in order, but first, a warning:
Volition does not want characters tweaked like this uploaded to their station (web site). So, please honor that and don't go uploading your super beefy mutant to Volitions site.
And now, the files and image examples:
level 0-beta.zip - The base
Muscle and Fat Body Slider Extension (No breast slider expansion)
level 1-beta.zip -
Muscle and Fat Body Slider Extension with Level 1 Breast Expansion
level 2-beta.zip -
Muscle and Fat Body Slider Extension with Level 2 Breast Expansion
images.zip - Images of the default female (with sliders changed as indicated in the image name) with each level and vanilla to compare against.
INFO
To clear up what seems to be a misconception of this mod, its primary purpose was to expand the muscle and fat sides of the body triangle to give female characters a much more burlier physique than what was allowed in the vanilla game.
The breast expansion functionality was a secondary feature (and truthfully, I usually play with the "level 0" mod). As far as I can tell, how this mod does the breast expansion morph is the only way to do it in SR3. SR4 has some parameters that do a better job of breast expansion without the side effects of this mod.
The mod extends the body triangle by multiplying the morph effects of the muscle and body sides by 5 times and by multiplying the muscle normal mapping by 4 times. The skinny side is left unaffected.
What I'm calling "Level 0" is basically no changes to the breast morph by the Sex Appeal slider. Level 1 basically does a "negative skinny" on top of the normal breast sizing, and Level 2 applies the "negative skinny" twice. It was discovered early on that doing applying a negative skinny morph with the sex appeal slider had the effect of enlarging the breast with a few side effects (see ISSUES section below), and that's how this particular mod achieved that. Please note that there may be better mods available now that do not have the issues of this method.
IMAGES
I can tell you what it does, you can setup the mod to see what it does, or I can put up a few comparison images so you can see what it does!
First, comparisons of the strength slider at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%

Note that I would recommend not exceeding 60% on either the Strength or Fat sides, and I find 40% to be sufficient for my own wants. For some examples along the Strength - Fat edge:

As I mentioned above, the Strength and Fat sides' morph effect has been essentially multiplied by five times; this would mean that the vanilla 100% is approximately this mod's 20%:

For comparison of the Breast Expansion levels (vanilla and Level 0 are basically the same):

And now a collection with the sliders set to the following: Strength 40, Fat 14, Sex Appeal 100:

ISSUES
Some clothes clip or fit oddly with the beyond certain muscle, fat and breast sliders. If this affects certain must-wear clothes for you, you will have to experiment and reduce the numbers until those clothes fit. Feel free to share which clothes are affected, which version of the mod you used, and the body slider and sex appeal slider numbers that work best with those clothes.
The level 1 and level 2 breast expansion sliders have other side effects (that get worse on level 2), such as odd humps on the
trapezius muscles, some added "lumpiness" around the elbows, the hips gets a bit wider as if the
illiac crest is trying to push itself outward against the waist, the lips get... puffier?, and other more minor morphing side effects.
This mod was used by me (specifically, the level 0 without breast slider expansion as the boobs are big enough for my tastes) exclusively on female characters. I supposed with males, you can make some hyper-muscled and really fat characters. The breast expansion slider probably does not make your "junk" bigger, but it will probably have other side effects on male characters. Basically, level 1 and level 2 do not make any sense for male characters, but feel free to experiment.

PERMISSIONS:
I give explicit permission (as in, don't need to ask me beforehand) to modify and release your own version of this mod and to include it in whatever compilation you're building. Credit to me would be nice but not necessary.
Also, after I get this one done, I'll be creating and releasing the SR4 version too.
