CAS Sanity (updated March 3, 2024) (Patreon)

Over 2,500 CAS items re-sorted into more sensible categories, plus a file to override default randomization behavior.

This project may continue to receive updates over time.

--------------------------------

1) CAS Default Replacements:

Example Modifications:

• shorts and tank tops to hot weather, coats to cold weather
• afro-textured hair only allowed for random in dark colors
• age-appropriateness (crop tops and mini skirts disabled for elders...)
• fixing many male items which also showed for females
• garish colors and crazy patterns disabled for random
• enabling clothing for opposite gender when appropriate

Notes:

• These CAS items will show as custom content in your game (and in the Gallery). If you want to upload your Sims without it showing as custom content, remove the overrides from your game temporarily and then upload.
• There may be some compromises to using items on opposite frame/gender Sims, based on some issues with how they implemented these systems. If you notice any major problems with this, let me know!
• This doesn't help with combinations, for instance, the game will still pair sneakers with dresses, and orange with red... but by disabling some of the worst offenders for random use, its a bit more bearable. :P

Files are separated by pack, so download only the ones that you own.

2) Randomization Override (OPTIONAL):

This file is similar to (and conflicts with) SimplyAnjuta's No Make-Up mod to modify what CAS items will be applied to randomly generated Sims (such as NPCs), but it has some differences. Use hers if you don't like the other bits I've added!

• Maximum Fatness and Fitness for randomized Sims is 50% (default is 75%). Please note this is not intended to be fatphobic - the distortion of the meshes at larger sizes (both athletic and curviness) has always seemed unrealistic and bothered me, and I'd rather use those more extreme settings manually. This does not restrict going down to -100% or up to 100% manually!
• Hats, Accessories, Make-up, Tattoos will NOT be used on randomized Sims. It's more extreme than I wish it needed to be, but the game is relentless about applying these items in ridiculous ways.
• Randomized clothing will be full outfits vs. separate tops/bottoms 25% of the time (I find that you see the same few full outfits too often).

This has been a total labor of love over the past months, so I really hope you notice a big difference in your game! Please don't hesitate to leave a comment to let me know you're enjoying it or if you have any constructive feedback.
