π Pre-Update Laundry List -- https://../news/laundry-list-october-27th-2025
β οΈ I will not have internet come October 31st or November 1st. There's gonna be a few days gap between the end of this month and me getting internet next month. There's a high chance that I will not be online on November 4th and I may not be back til November 7th. Shirley you can survive without me for a few days, but when I return, it'll be on my own internet. I'll make a new post explaining what's happening and leave that as the "most recent" post until I'm back.
π I'm off Kitchen Doody and the internet is working today (for the moment), so when we're done here, we'll CAS Filters, yeah?
π I haven't checked any of my notifications since that "BRUNO" ping... uh, what was it, like (4) days ago? I'll see what's up and respond to any comments after we do some CAS Filtering.
πΉ To be quite honest, I did kinda intentionally leave y'all to stew in that one, despite the internet working that day. I know you're not here for that and I know a lot of folks don't want to engage with it, but shit's getting worse every day. Did you know that Trinidad is right next to Venezuela? Did you know that there is a U.S. warship docked in Trinidad [π]? Or that NicolΓ‘s Maduro has threatened retribution against Trinidad [π]? <CACKLES AND SIGHS> ICE International ain't black-bagged me yet, Maduro ain't killed me yet, my government ain't silenced me yet, and Patreon ain't censored me yet, so if you don't mind, I'ma keep talking about "Bruno" until I literally can't.
β// β HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE LAUNDRY LIST:
There's a lot of stuff I don't give no !@#$s about, so if you want the full list, it's linked at the top of this post.
I would like to point out though, that the following was the...
Top 5 Most Voted Fixes:
[EA Forums] Identified and resolved some cases of photos turning black in inventory when taken with the camera. Applies to new saves only.
[EA Forums] Sabotage interaction is no longer available on objects without completing Deviance aspiration.
[EA Forums] When the Mixologist is in conversation with NPCs, they'll break out of it if a drink order is queued up and be more responsive.
[EA Forums] Children should now more clearly inherit some features from their parents. There may still be some variation (a child's nose may be slightly wider than their parent's, for example, but you should be able to see distinct features passed down between generations; if both parents have large ears, the child probably will too.
[EA Forums] Relationship decay after having a baby was too fast and was destroying relationships. It has been slowed.
Shirley there's something here that I give a !@#$ about:
[EA Forums] Sims will stop wearing hats while in their nude outfit.
PRAISE JESUS, HALLELUJAH! Yes, I'm still anti-theist.
[EA Forums] CAS categories (excluding tattoos & pets) will again show all content from their subcategories. A previous update was made to the CAS Menu to support the new tattoo arcs. The change also caught several other categories, causing them to only show one subcategory at a time unlike their usual behavior of showing all categories at once.
PRAISE JESUS, HALLELUJ- <SQUINTS>
Y'know what the sad part is? Even with this, my "SGFX: Fixing CAS" does so much other !@#$ now that I can't just retire it. I'm not giving up those (11) categories I enabled the Filter Panel on, and I ain't giving up the Nude/Bathing Outfit.
I'm curious to see what they changed in the code we have access to - the code that I modified to BAND-AID it from our side. I'm also curious if those other things I've done will still work, or if EAxis has !@#$ed us.
[EA Forums] Temporary Stay Guests will now sleep; even in sleeping bags.
<SQUINTS> Did someone read my Patreon posts? I still haven't released the full BUFIX for this. I think I released the bit that removes the buggy and useless suitcase. I'll adjust the full BUGFIX as necessary after we update and see what they've done.
Other things that caught my eye:
[EA Forums] Fixing CAS applied makeup color swatch selection to be consistent on swapping items with the one that is highlighted. Tattoos are still being worked on to provide the same functionality.
QUE?! Is that English? Is my brain functioning right now? Maybe I should read the report because this entry makes no sense to me.
[EA Forums] Fire Fighters can fit into unroutable errors to better fight fires.
"fit into unroutable errors" ... I'm just nitpicking. I assume they meant "spaces".
I highlighted a similar issue with pleading with Grim. I wonder if it was ever fixed.
[EA Forum] Child Sim's Legs will no longer show a wrinkled texture when wearing "cfBottom_EP20FlutterSkirt".
[EA Forums] Preventing Neighborhood Stories romance actions from happening between incompatible Sims. Previously, it was not taking Sim's Romantic Preferences into account with "Romance Changes". This now verifies that Sims are still romantically interested in each other's genders before considering the action to be successful.
Neighborhood Stories is still trash.
[EA Forums] Mini goats and sheep will no longer be able to use the gate when it is locked.
That's animal abuse. I'M JOKING! ππ
[EA Forums] The Science Fair Judge shows up when expected and stays for the duration of the Science fair Festival event.
Where's the fix for the coppers to actually show up when I call them because Robin Banks is stealing my !@#$?! I don't need incompetent cops in my "Life Sim". We already have them in real life.
[EA Forums] Adjusted event timing to avoid overlaps which will allow the Turtle Hatching event to occur.
I need to find the coding for this. I don't like the changes they made to the Welcome Wagon. I want my Wagon in the morning so that I have all evening to woo Johnny, and still have time to collect frogs.
[EA Forums] Celebrities can now be interacted in a Retail store.
Have they fixed celebrities or are all of the social options still available?
[EA Forums] Admiring ghost and occult Sims will count for a Holiday's spooky spirit.
That doesn't sound at all like objectification.
[EA Forums] Fixed Dogs excessively exploring bush and triggering the Skunk encounter outcome and becoming dirty as a result.
Take this back.
[EA Forums] Sim and Dog will now autonomously exit the 'Go on Walk' interaction before reaching Motive failure.
I should explore the many features of this game sometime. I've never even been to a hidden world. πΉ
[EA Forums] Alien Sims will no longer repeatedly wipe out the memory of their spouse autonomously.
Who wanted this fixed?! πΉ
[EA Forums] Werewolves will not use their phone when rampaging.
No one likes the obsessive phone use.
No mention of them reducing the AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in CAS.
[EA Forum] Fixing CAS unlock display to remove locked thumbnails in "Knit Clothing" even though the items are unlocked.
Again, is this English?
[EA Forums] Monster will no longer be spotted under the bed when monster spray is used.
Hooray, slumber party? I wonder... can I enable the monster for all ages? I'm kinda childish. I like cute things. I have a bunch of plushies. I would like a monster under m- it sounds worse than it did in my head when it's typed out. πΉ
Sooo... our Nude/Bathing Outfit is still !@#$ed, or did they secretly fix it? It's been a !@#$in' year now, bruh. I guess we just have to wait and see.
β// β TBC...

The nude outfit issues could be fixed if they actually unlocked it in CAS already. Next to the convention and job outfits. I have sims who wear permanent hat-like stuff so Im not sure how this change is going to affect them. I would prefer an update to the terrible CAS UI aswell. Move the options, let us add more columns so we dont need mods to have more than two columns which is a nightmare otherwise with lots of expansions. Cant believe they refuse to change these things after all this time. And they did not plan to change the eco footprint which is constantly resetting. But fix 150 things barely anyone cares about. These people will always be incompetent.
i *think* what the "Fixing CAS applied makeup color swatch selection" one means is that when you use the color sliders on makeup and save that new swatch, then select a different piece of makeup, then go back to the first one you picked, it'll still have the swatch you made selected as opposed to the first premade color. like, if you picked "eyeliner 1" in "color 2" and adjust the sliders to make and save "color 2.5", then switch to "eyeliner 2", then go *back* to "eyeliner 1", it'll still be "color 2.5" rather than booting you back to "color 1" if that makes sense
OOOOHHH! Yeah, I've noticed that. Is annoying! I hope you're right! It smelled like an "Elsweyr" thing, so I didn't allocate any time to looking into it when I noticed it. Which reminds me... I have to poke around the texture resources because I wanted to enable the sliders on all of those Tattoos I've been unrestricting in CASO.
