π§π [SP81] CASO: Prairie Dreams Kit -- [12/13-2] β‘ MOAR NITPICKING: Thigh-high Stockings are Socks, not Tights!
βοΈ SP81: PRAIRIE DREAMS KIT β π PINGWINGβ’ β π NIL β βοΈ NIL
π Always compatible [π], unless EAxis modifies resources post-release [π].
πΈ This is a Creator Kit. I've added Miiko's "CAS Filter" to all items.
πΏ For a hot minute I thought this was EAxis' first "CAS Perfection" content release.
π I'm almost done. Then we SGFX Patch and Batty Batβ’.
β// β I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THIS:
I need to reformat this list or do it differently. I do not like how this looks:
βοΈ SWATCH ORDER -- Reordered most items by color but starting with Yellow.
βοΈ RANDOMIZATION -- Disabled on all items with "weird" meshes and disabled on all Accessories and Makeup as a fallback in case you're not using my "Goodbye Clownies" mod [π] or a comparable third-party mod, or if that mod breaks. Is been TEN (10) YEARS, EAxis! The community is over randomly generated clownies.
βοΈ OCCULT RANDOMIZATION -- Removed Merfolk and Fairy tags from all items. I personally don't want "regular clothes" randomizing onto my fantasy Sims.
β FASHION RARITY -- EAxis tags everything as "Common" nowadays - the majority of CAS is tagged as "Common". I might fine-tune this in a future update.
βοΈ DISPLAY INDEX -- Adjusted to match the Pack ID. In case you missed it, EAxis skipped (6) Stuff Pack/Kit identifiers.
βοΈ CASO PERFECTION -- All Tops and Bottoms for TEEN+ are now unrestricted for all "Gender" and "Physical Frame" combinations. You will find Feminine Frame items under the Feminine Fashion Choice filter and Masculine Frame items under the Masculine Fashion Choice filter. Is all player choice and inclusiveness with me, baby!
βοΈ CAS FILTERS SUPPORT -- Miiko is already included in my "CAS Filters" mod [π]. All items from this Kit now include their custom filter along with my totes ego-driven custom "C.A.S.O.β’" filter.
βοΈ THE CATDAMN LACE STOCKINGS -- Re-categorized into the Socks category where it belongs! When worn with Leggings/Tights, it will be worn underneath them. Reordered the swatches by color, and swapped the swatch colors for two Brown swatches. EAxis used a slightly lighter shade of brown for the darker variant and... it irritated me, so I adjusted it.
βοΈ UNLOCKED/UNRESTRICTED -- Makeup unlocked for all age groups.

πΉ 12/13/2025 #2 -- MOAR NITPICKING:
I did a Poll about this [π] to explain myself. Thigh-high Stockings do not belong in the Leggings/Tights category. They belong in Socks! No one (I'm generalizing) wears Socks and thigh-high Stockings together, EAxis! Please stahp making a catdamn mess of CAS! Just put the knee-length and thigh-high stuff in the Socks category with the other knee-length and thigh-high stuff that y'all already put in the Socks category! <HUFFS AND PUFFS>
Can- As a community, can we be better than EAxis and stop giving each other unnecessary work? Please, for the love of whomever you hold dear (even if is just thyself), stop using special characters in your custom content filenames! NO EMOJIS EITHER! I know this is off-topic, but someone told me emojis are now finding their way into filenames! NO! STOP! πΉ
πΉ 12/13/2025 #1 -- NITPICKING:
It really, really, really irritates me when we get two or more items that share the same design and could be considered as part of a "set", but then we don't get matching swatches/colors.
Why are there additional shades of Brown on "TightsSP81CK011LaceStockings" and no additional shades of Pink to match the additional shades of Pink on "NecklaceSP81CK011LaceChoker"?
One of these fine days I'll dedicate some time to learning how to recolor things "properly".
Screw it, I'm reordering these things by color. I like matching the swatches, but this is irritating me.
πΉ 12/12/2025 #3 -- SOME OF THESE MESHES LOOK WEIRD:
And I just noticed that this is a Creator Kit! πΉ
I don't sugarcoat my "CAS Reviews" for anyone.
Back in the day, IIRC, the first Collaboration Kits were... the creator would pitch an idea and EAxis would fulfill it? I don't think we've ever been given a step by step. Anyway, I assume things still work like that to some extent and that's why we get !@#$ like Bloatβ’ and half-arsed pixelated textures in Creator Kits sometimes.
Which reminds me... I tigress! We can get to that later. π―
These meshes though, I don't really know where they came from.
Is not something I've seen from EAxis before, though that does not mean that it ain't EAxis. They did give us a kinda weird Bottom mesh the other day, which looks real good on that one new pre-made Sim in-game, but looks horrible Elsweyr. πΉ
I'll point it out soon enough. The meshes in this Kit, not the pre-made Sim.
πΉ 12/12/2025 #2-- PATREON IS IRKING ME:
I need to nag Patreon to give us back the ability to publish new posts without notifying members. I like posting things ahead of schedule, but there's absolutely no reason for me to notify you about this post yet.
Also, we now have a big button that we can put a link on, so why don't we have a built-in divider that auto-adjusts itself to the text area yet?!
πΏ 12/12/2025 #1 -- PRELIMINARY CAS REVIEW:
Be still my beating heart.
I thought Senpai finally noticed me, but no! Maybe? I'm confused.
All of the Tops are "CAS Perfection" (meaning proper "Gender" FLAGS and "Fashion Choice" TAGS, and no "Restrict Opposite" FLAGS) and all of the Bottoms are "Restrict Opposite Frame".
Look, "Restrict Opposite Frame" is only an issue when EAxis doesn't make a Feminine and Masculine variant of a clothing item.
If there are two variants of every clothing item, then there's no need to remove "Restrict Opposite Frame" like I do, because you'd already have the option to wear the item for your chosen Physical Frame - improper "Restrict Opposite Gender" would then be the only issue we have to content with.
But EAxis doesn't always make two variants of every item, and sometimes you might want to wear an item that only exists for the opposite Physical Frame, which isn't possible if "Restrict Opposite Frame" is present.
