β// β UNLEASH BOTH FEET IN EAXIS' ARSE:
Did they really break the option to disable and enable DLC or is it hidden somewhere in the Market- It's in the Marketplace tab, because of course it is!

After being reminded of how incompetent EAxis is with their PartFlags and Tags, and seeing they have a Facebook page with 14 million followers... How quickly do you suppose they would ban me if I were to start posting screenshots of myself fixing their !@#$ in their comments on every related post?
I should do videos for every CASO. Like the whole CASO process. Just screen record everything from start to finish to sharing (because why not shamelessly plug myself publicly?).
I can be a bit of !@#$, I know.
Can you blame me though?
Is TEN (10) YEARS and counting, and "somehow" the most recent CAS release is Yet Another PartFlag Disaster!
Paralives apparently has a gender-neutral bodytype (that can be modified to look more masculine or feminine) that all clothes work with, and here we are in The Sims 4, having the in-game options for genderqueer representation, but having to contend with the incompetence of... Who exactly am I supposed to hold responsible for the PartFlag incompetence? Is it Electronic Arts or Maxis?
I feel like now is the best time to go on the offensive with this, because Paralives.
I want to record Scarlet's character creation in Paralives. It would pair well with videos highlighting just how intentionally incompetent EAxis CAS is - it's not that we can't have nice things, it's that they keep !@#$ing it up!
Maybe the sheer shame of it would make them pull their heads out of their arses?
Do you think?
It's not like I didn't dedicate hours of my time to creating bug reports for this !@#$ and explaining what the problems were on AnswersHQ (before it was absorbed into EA Forums), expecting they'd y'know, take the !@#$ing hint.
Yes, I do get progressively more annoyed the longer I talk about improper PartFlags and Tags and Bloatβ’. πΉπΉ

I mentioned this on one of your posts in your absence (can't find where anymore), but I've had an issue in CAS I discovered while patching, so modless. I haven't taken the time to reinstall the game fresh as a test, but I DID repair. I also reached out to Waffle regarding it but I think I went unnoticed everywhere. "I noticed something extra to test once I was fiddling, but as I kept purging, the issue remained. Turns out, with nothing but my Resource file (aka, no mods), swapping the Gender of a Sim........ causes it to pop out of sync with the gender submenu settings. When I swap to female from a generated male, it stays male. And any subsequent flipflop has the opposite gender's "default" settings. Not sure what that's about! Should I report this to the forums? I haven't reported a bug in gods know how long... Prolly since they forced the EA App onto us. Clicking on the Sim randomizer, the resulting Sim would have the logical "defaults" in the submenu. But swapping their gender would yet again throw it out of sync. Now, it doesn't do the actual visible changes, like changing the frame or whatnot. The sim being set to male with out of sync settings would still "look male" as far as the game views it. But... not sure how certain things would react under the hood, like pregnancy, urinating, etc. Since you are the majestic being that has so much experience with the terrible experience that is CAS, I thought I'd let you know and see what you think? Your insight is always super helpful. What do you think? The last time I've had to report issues I believe was with how BROKEN the "stay offline" portion was on EA App (once it was introduced, before that I was complaining that there SHOULD BE THE FUNCTION given the Origin app did that very well). To this day I don't like the functionality still... And I remember someone trying to get into a tiff with me, somehow regarding gender norms I think? I just remember like "nope this guy is going to trigger me I'm out". I'm trans, and go through phases where I'm way more sensitive to people in more open spaces' feedback. So this very specific potential bug is uh... not a great one to open myself up for on the forum. Any suggestions on anything else I can test on my end to see if somehow it's my installation? Or just... a kick in the butt to report it if you think it's a legit bug T__T Sorry for the length. I just respect you as a communicator and I have a hard time not being an over-detailer. Thank you for your time. X'D" Sentiment still applies, and glad you're back! We need you now more than ever!!! I jest, but do I? You're like the backbone of my gaming experience lately. Cheers.
QUE?! ππ Gimme some time to go through this properly and try to replicate what you experienced, 'cause that be some sorcery! πΉ
