I know I didn't officially clear the majority of my mods for the last Update. It will not become a regular thing. Also, I still intend to finish these projects as soon as possible - there's only so much I can get done while fighting the internet and now the electricity:

  • The first update for "CAS Filters".

  • The release of my "Limited CAS Overrides" for BASE GAME.

  • Maybe a few more Add-Ons for BASE GAME.

  • Maybe a few more De-Bloating™ for BASE GAME.

  • My XMODTko for "Reset Bathing Outfit".

  • My "PartMapping" BAND-AID for our busted underwear.

I still need to do more work on "EnterBathing", so that's not coming yet, but "PartMapping" and my XMODTko for "Reset Bathing" successfully BAND-AIDs the problem.

⋆⋅ MY PERSONAL REPORT:

Is it at all possible for us to get updated without EAxis breaking even more !@#$? Seriously, every time?! Something needs to be done, bruh. Is it too much to ask that no one buy the new Kits? We don't need more clutter! WE NEED THIS BROKEN-ARSE GAME FIXED!

CAS IS EVEN MORE BROKEN THAN BEFORE - ACCESSORIES categories remain broken, TOPS, BOTTOMS and FULL BODY categories remain wonky, but also, all sub-categories under BODY (except SKIN TONES and BODIES) now lock us into "Tutorial Mode" if the TATTOOS sub-category has not been opened and the TATTOOS "Tutorial" viewed. The only way to get out of "Tutorial Mode" if you get stuck in it is to exit and re-enter CAS.

  • Because this issue only happens if you haven't opened the TATTOOS sub-category and viewed the "Tutorial" for TATTOOS, it means this ain't getting fixed anytime soon.

  • On the bright side, it means that you can avoid this nonsense by opening the TATTOOS sub-category and viewing the "Tutorial" message.

  • This is ridiculous. This has to be new because I delete my TS4 USER FOLDER every update and do the same things in CAS, and I've never experienced this before.

I GIVE UP - Which one of y'all complained that the corners of the CHEAT CONSOLE were too sharp, and somehow convinced EAxis to do whatever it is that they did there? I didn't even notice while I was complaining about "Tutorial Mode". It looks so bad. WHY?!

TBC...

⋆⋅ HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE UPDATE NOTES:

[EA Forums] Gold rays will only appear for the Occult picker in the Create a Sim UI the first time it is opened/viewed.

Would you like to thank me for this one too? After all, I did create an SGFX Override specifically for this, and I did butt heads with the creators of that third-party mod to release my SGFX Patch for it, and I made sure to mention it in my big "ape !@#$" rant the other day. Coincidence? Oh, totes! If dragging everyone kicking and screaming into the light is what it takes to get anything done, I will gladly do so.

What does this mean for my SGFX Override and my SGFX Patch? Nothing, because those two things don't only remove SWIRLING GODRAYS from the "Pick an Occult!" button. I will rename the mod-posts and adjust the descriptions as necessary.

[EA Forums] Child Sims with Vampire Eyes will now stay instead of reverting to normal Sim eyes.

My anonymous friend will love this one. This issue, along with our "earring" Hearing Aids and our inability to have different hair color on different outfits, gave birth to my Wearables™ Collection.

Trashley Reelpearson has been reprimanded for littering and has promised to stop leaving their cotton candy on the floor all over Iverstad.

TAKE THIS BACK! I WANT FREE CANDY!

Addressed pixelation that was occurring on the green variation of the dress (yfBody_SP59Dress).

This ain't the only new piece of EAxis content with abysmal low-quality textures.

I have to admit I had a laugh when I saw Godrays was on the list and knew you'd have something to say! Keeping them honest!!! ❤

😹 How could I not when they finally just "realized there's a problem".
