😾 [BG] CAS Review for Base Game - 💀 Improper PartFlags are a plague upon us all. -- [1/21] ⚡ Deadlines™

2025 is the year I finally start my CAS Override for Base Game.

⋆⋅ PRELIMINARY REVIEW & MINI-RANT:

Preliminary reviews are usually only done with my Male/Feminine Frame sim, but for the Base Game review, I felt the need to bring in Mizu to highlight how the improper use of PartFlags aren't just a transframe issue, and how these PartFlags have also affected cisframe sims since release, TEN (10) YEARS AGO! (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

Bloat™ wasn't as prevalent on release, or in the SDX we've gotten for Base Game, but it's creeping into the more recent FOMO !@#$%^&*. I wish EAxis would just stop.

PartFlags is where the real party is at! Restrict Opposite Gender is all over the place. Various Masc-Frame pants - pants made for male sims - are flagged for Feminine Fashion and unrestricted for female sims, and Allow For Random is enabled on all of it.

Mismatched Physical Frame and clothing results in body deformities. Before Update 7/23/2024 and the broken Deformer Maps that EAxis refuses to fix, it was mainly just neck and crotch deformities, now it's your whole !@#$in' spine. <INHALES SHARPLY> I stand by my decision to unrestrict clothing in my CAS Overrides. The difference between me and EAxis is, they don't tell us what they're doing, or why, nor do they ever explain how what they're doing affects us. Answers HQ has had numerous Bug Reports over the years concerning the deformities this improper use of PartFlags causes, and EAxis is only now changing the way they PartFlag... That's 12x10÷3=40! FORTY (40) SUCCESSIVE THREE MONTH PERIODS OF EAXIS "NOT BEING AWARE" OF THE PROBLEMS THEY'RE CREATING! (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

⋆⋅ DEADLINES™ & DISAPPOINTMENT:

This list might get populated while I work on standalone CAS projects before starting my CAS Overrides.
