🐞 Update 2/25/2025 broke CAS. Update 3/6/2025 didn't fix it. -- ☢️ I finally had a look at the "IDEA" because I'm finally back in CAS.

THEN LOOK AT THIS !@#$ - https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/copying-category-to-other-outfits-not-working-makeupaccessory/11941883
EAxis somehow managed to break CAS categories, sub categories, camera zoom, and apparently the - totes useful - copy function, and probably other !@#$ but I haven't read through the whole "IDEA" yet and I'm only just entering CAS.
WHY WERE THEY EVEN !@#$ING WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TATTOOS?!

Does the Sims Team have like a personal challenge to break as much !@#$ as possible?
Is this them revolting against poor working conditions at Electronic Arts?
If they are... I'm all for it! BREAK ERRTHANG, BABY! 😹
But if this isn't intentional, then <INHALES SHARPLY> may the Machine God have mercy on your souls, because I have no more patience for the litany of !@#$ ups. The worst part of this is that we all have to suffer whether we have Business Half-Arsery or not.
The last time this game was in a playable state for me was under Update 10/1/2024. Even with our broken spines, I had my BUGFIX, CAS was working, and our underwear wasn't !@#$ed because outfit switching wasn't !@#$ed... <HEAVY SIGH>
Rants are starting to bleed into everything. Tis a bad sign.
⋆⋅ CAN WE FIX THIS FROM OUR SIDE:
I don't know yet. The CASMenu Tuning that Crilendar and I modify doesn't actually define any of the !@#$ that's broken. All it does is define which categories and subcategories are available to who - and it lets me make a cute little batty bat category for myself.
All of this crap that's broken is defined Elsweyr. It's either SGFX or the PYTHON scripts squirreled away in the INSTALL FOLDER - most likely the latter.
