๐น Scarlet's Update Notice -- https://../post/138140221
๐น Y'know, I mentioned something in my last Update Notice that I didn't elaborate on - the functioning CAS Search Bar in Pets CAS. This is me reminding myself about it.
โ// โ THINGS I NEED TO DO:
Kitty is doing better. She got head-pats and now she's snoozing. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฑ
Pfft. My "FOMO Unlocks" always work! Right?โ๏ธ
Update my "SGFX Overrides".โ
Fixing the "Cancel" button requires modifying a Scale Form GFX resource, HOWEVER, I don't think it should affect any of my SGFX mods. We might be able to ignore this. I'll verify.
Update my "SGFX Patches", if necessary.โ
With EAxis mucking around CAS, I need to update all of my "CAS Overrides".โ
Verify my mods for update compatibility and complete the re-release.โ
CAS Filters is compatible in its current state, but I need to finish the big update.โ

โ// โ I'M JUST MUSING:
Is this update really just for the "Cancel" button in the new "Pack Selection" window?
Also, with the announcement of yet another EP, do you suppose EAxis will finally fix our Nude/Bathing Outfit?
Our spines/bodies didn't get fixed until EP18 Businesses & Hobbies, and it only happened because of the new Tattoo features. Is it possible that someone will "finally notice" our busted Nude/Bathing Outfit now that we're getting an EP with more water activities?
This literally appears to be the only way EAxis will ever address some of these major "bugs", that is, if it affects their marketing for new paid content.
โข๏ธ// โ F.Y.I. I'M NOT JUST COMPLAINING:
I've dedicated significant time to tracking down and trying to fix the !@#$ that EAxis can't be bothered to fix, that they themselves broke with their half-arsed game updates.
For the ones that require SGFX modding, if I can fix it with my limited knowledge of SGFX modding, what's EAxis' excuse?
I thought they had a dedicated crackpo- sorry, "crack shot" BUGFIXIN' team? To be fair, they've never been described as such, I just need something to rhyme with "crackpot".

Head Decorations is like the simplest thing on this list.
(5/6) of them are paid content that shipped with the last Expansion Pack and they're still broken. Literally all it is, is changing the item type/category from "Head Decoration" to "Hat" and verifying the "Head Decoration" sub-type is selected. That's it.
What the !@#$?!
This isn't an ego trip, it's a "What the !@#$ is EAxis doing?" trip.
Cranking out new content to sell us, that's what.
Did you see, we're getting archery!
Aren't you excited?!
!@#$ EA, !@#$ EAxis, and !@#$ this game. (โฏ'โก')โฏ๏ธต โปโโป
I swear, if... I forgot the name of the game... oh, right, Paralives!
I swear, if Paralives pulls an inZOI, I will find myself on their Patreon, and insult them.
I don't intend to just give up The Sims 4 whenever Paralives finally finishes baking, but EA needs competition - competent competition, not inZOI's AI buffoonery, which just encourages EA's AI buffoonery. <HUFFS>

โ// โ MY REPORT (IN PROGRESS):
FACEPALM -- 599 MB to fix a "Cancel" button is... the math don't add up. Y'know, the game's EXE and the game version doesn't actually need to change every single time they BUGFIX. There is literally no reason for a new EXE if all you're doing is fixing an SGFX, Tuning, or CAS issue, unless you've divided your resources all over the place...
โ โโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ \\๐// โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โโ โ
โ// โ HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE NOTES:
There's nothing here. Pfft. 599 MB does not equal (1) "Cancel" button!
What else did they do?!
โ// โ TBC...

These people did not add more columns, a way to disable filters for makeup/hair/nails or thought about adding the bathing outfit to the outfits we can edit. When it comes to CAS the design philosophy seems to be "minimal maintenance". Same for patch notes.
Indeed. ๐พ
