danieeel - you cannot create your new cas with seasons, you must use the base game starter and make it without seasons

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say Thank you so so much Vashti, and wanted to show you what I did with my CAS screens.

Awesome tute too, easy to understand, ta!

I did my YACAS screens using this tutorial too.

I've been having a problem getting mine to load as a CAS screen, but I didn't follow all the intructions 100% accurately, so I'm not complaining.

I was wondering if there is a workaround for Seasons that does not include the base game starter program. Has anyone tried:

a) adding a roof to the house... or would that keep the sim from being placed properly? If lighting is an issue, could you use a greenhouse roof or a custom floor tile that is transparent/translucent?

b) Create the new neighborhood and change winter to spring or summer? Or does the CAS automatically pick up the season from the other community lots in town, no matter what town you are in?
There would be the problem of rain, but it seems like there would be a lower chance of freezing/overheating.

Edit
This didn't work! oops.
However when I re-followed the instructions, the CAS worked fine for me. Thanks for the great tutorial!

LMAO... I read the instructions very carefully and followed them with one exception, fully expecting to accept the consequences... I have Seasons and didn't use the basegame starter... I've read all the frustrated posts in here, and not to laugh at anyone else's frustrations, I've been LMAO watching my Simmies drop like flies. Now, I'm going back and do it correctly. Thanks for the tutorial. It is very well done and VERY easy to follow.

before I start this I was just wonderin, will making a custom cas make u lose the defualt CAS? Just wanted to know before I make too many changes. Thanks <3

Fall_Out_Boy_Rocks - Not permanently, no. You will have your custom CAS in when you have the CAS!.package in your Downloads folder. If/when you take that file out, you'll get back the original, or can then choose a different CAS screen to use. It's just a temporary override, not a permanent overwrite.

Thanks :D

cant you just use moveobjects on? another thing, all i have in my tsdata folder is sys(i have all expansions and stuff paks up to bon voyage)
can somebody help me???

i have tried this aswell, all i have in my disc's tsdata folder is a folder named control, in there a program named control0. what is wrong with my game!!!??

nevermind i found it, turns out i was looking in my documents not C drive

silly question time. I am trying to do my cas screen and yes one must not use seasons's. lol. I am going to try what windkeeper suggested and place my cas screen directly into my downloads folder as I am having no luck. I am using the basegame starter up to OFB.

Just one question though, is it possible to clone then recolour the curtain backdrop in the family screen?

never mind. I will just download a cas screen cos no matter how much I work on this, its still the same old cas screen.

Ah, dude, thanks 298368922062483 bunches.

Edit: God im dumb XP Forgot to ask:

Should BV work fine?

Maybe you should update this thing a little more often.....

yahhhhhhh! I have worked it out. lol. thanks to Numenor's base game starter, I can now do my own CAS screens. thanks also to windkeeper for her editions to the cas screen. cheers and thanks again for the tut.

p.s. I use the base game starter with just Bon Voyage and it work great. next time will try with all packs except for seasons and pets .

cheers

I'm so sorry if this question have been answered one or several times before but; Can you remove the BaseGameStarter once you've created the CAS! ?
I don't understand it and I'm trying to keep mods and hacks at a low level.

Thanks for this great tutorial!

the house isn't turning up!!!

mira_moone - yes you can remove the base game starter once the cas house is complete (and moved out of the base game). Although having base game starter on your system should not effect your regular game

kopple - you're going to need to start over and follow the directions carefully. There's no way for us to glance at your computer and see which step was missed/misunderstood.

Ok, thank you! I tryed it and it worked great!

Hurrah! Thank you. Now i'm off to find CC so I can do what only cat-vampires can do!

Thank you so so so much for this tutorial! Look at the one I just made, along with the family screen:





Thanks again!

help i need to delete the cas screen, it didn't work anyway for me, and i want to download teen stuff, but i cant cuz the game starter is not updated to that yet, so how do i delete it?

it's an easy guide, but i still can't make a CAS, i used basegamestarter to start pets, but then i only get a neighborhood called 'mini-game' and i can't find the CAS house.

PS, maybe isn't my english so good, that's because I'm dutch

I tried making a custom CAS with Seasons, and yes the sims started freezing! However, if I select toddler, this seems to stop the sims from freezing! Has anyone else found this?

rubberduck3y6 - that's probably because you can't kill toddlers :P

Uhm, the beginning of this has info for seasons, you must follow it. We do not know of another way to make a working CAS for seasons except for excluding it while you build your CAS)
