🚧 [BG] CC CAS Overrides for Sifix (Creator) -- I decided to kick this off with a retired creator who doesn't clutch their pearls. -- [4/30] RELEASE PENDING!

🔄 YES! Notify me via DM, Comments, or Community Chat if it ain't workin'.

⚙️ These are ZIP archives containing overrides for custom content. Open or extract them with Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Place the extracted folder containing the overrides into your Mods folder, then ensure GAME OPTIONS » OTHER » "Enable Custom Content and Mods" is enabled and "Apply Changes" and restart the game if it wasn't.

⚠️ Sifix's filter is not available in the "INITIAL RELEASE" of "CAS Filters". When I'm finished with this, I will finish the first update for "CAS Filters".

These are overrides for custom content. They need to load BEFORE the custom content for them to work. The easiest way to do this is with sub-folders and load priority (load order).

The overrides go into a folder with a name that is alphanumerically higher than the folder that the custom content is in, e.g.:

  • OVERRIDE - "sej_CCCOvrd_Sifix_ArendelleDress.package" stays in my "#Sej" folder.

  • ORIGINAL - "Sifix_ArendelleDress.package" goes in a folder named "CCCAS_Sifix".

My overrides will work as long as my "#Sej" folder has load priority - no file renaming or "Resource.cfg" editing required.

⋆⋅ DON'T NOTICE ME YET, SENPAI:

⋆⋅ YOU NEED THE ORIGINAL CONTENT:

Items marked with a caution exclamation "⚠️" contain critical issues - long skirts weren't made with the proper base mesh, resulting in severe clipping with some tall boots.

⋆⋅ SIFIX HAS RETIRED FROM MODDING:

Per their TSR profile - https://www.thesimsresource.com/members/Sifix2

I've permanently retired from CC creation as of October 2023. That means my CC is effectively unsupported. There's no reason to think it won't keep working, but if it breaks due to future patches, I won't be able to fix it.

Thanks for all the love and support over the years.

DO feel free to edit my CC however you want. Recolors, retextures, mesh edits, frankenmeshes, whatever you want to do, it's all good. Have fun!

DO upload and share any edits of my CC if you want to (but I'd appreciate you not including the original mesh unless it's necessary for your creation to work).

DO NOT reupload my unedited CC anywhere.

DO NOT monetize my CC in any way.

Sifix has (745) creations on The Sims Resource. We're breaking ground with (15) overrides.

I can't guarantee that I will override every single one of their items, but I will override everything I like and maybe one day in the distant future, we'll have (745) overrides. (745) overrides ain't actually that much. TSR's download barriers will be the real test of my patience.

⋆⋅ SIFIX'S CONTENT - PARTFLAGS, TAGS, ETC.:

  • File names use underscores "_" and no other special characters!

  • No "Restrict Opposite Gender" flags.

  • "Restrict Opposite Frame" flags on TOPS, BOTTOMS, and FULL BODY items.

  • Custom "DisplayIndex" places custom content in the middle of EAxis' mess.

  • "DefaultThumbnailPart" duplicated on multiple Swatches.

  • Various "ExcludePartFlags" are missing.

  • ⚠️ Meshes for certain long skirts weren't made with the proper base mesh. This isn't something I can fix properly without learning more Blender and maybe rebuilding the skirt mesh completely.

⋆⋅ OVERRIDES - OG FIXES, CHANGES, ADDITIONS:

This is a condensed list of every fix or change contained in my override. Sifix's items are mostly "fine", but improvements can be made.

FIXES FOR THE ISSUES HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE:

  • "Restrict Opposite Frame" flags removed from TOPS, BOTTOMS, and FULL BODY items.

  • Replaced the inefficient custom "DisplayIndex" with the 7-digit variant of my unique "TagValueNumber". My unique "TVN" can be used as a unique "DisplayIndex", but you must remove the second (2nd) and third (3rd) numbers, e.g. "719434900" is "7434900".

  • Removed all "DefaultThumbnailPart" flags.

  • Added missing "ExcludePartFlags" for NECKLACES and WRISTS where needed to avoid clipping. These flags HIDE the corresponding items, allowing them to be worn but not seen. These are probably the most difficult flags for creators, because it's some weird-arse math sorcery.

CHANGES FOR OTHER MINOR THINGS:

  • "Age Appropriate" fine-tuned on all items.

  • "Occult" fine-tuned on all items.

  • "Outfit Type" fine-tuned on all items.

  • "Color Palette" removed from all items.

  • "Fabric" set to "Synthetic" on all items.

  • "Style" removed from all items.

ADDITIONS:

  • Added my new "#CASFilter" TAG.
