XCAS probably won't work with Baxim's mod, which is based on EGC.

MasterController ExpandedTattoo should work with another core mod - did you try in the MasterController/Basic/Tattoo or in regular CAS? MC won't affect regular CAS unless you also get the CAS Integration extension.

If you still have problems with MC, you should ask Twallan. He's very helpful.

T.T
It's not working for me for some reason. I have other CC but 99% of it is just hair and clothes. The only other game mods/Non clothing or hair mods that i have is:
- No mosaic
- Mini flatscreen tv/apple mac book
- Lots from MTS

I have the base game, version 1.19.44 and no expansions or stuff packs. Also I have to store my CC in program files not my doc since it doesn't work. When I install the files and load the game, the game just shuts off after the intro stops. I Also tried S3Z's slider hack and the same thing happened. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since according to instructions I've installed the content correctly :/

Sonygurl0000: Using any core mod (like XCAS or S3Z's hack) in the Program Files location without having d3dx9_31.dll installed will result in crashing on startup like you describe.

Go to http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...ge_Files_Manual and under "Prerequisites" go to step 3. Download d3dx9_31.dll as described. Then go to step 5 for instructions on where to put it. Since you have no expansions you should only need to put it in your "The Sims 3\Game\Bin\" folder.

Hopefully this will work - if not, or even if it does, you really should try again to get your custom content working in the Documents location. It's easier to manage there and you don't need a special dll for core mods. Chances are you simply didn't set it up right.

Good luck!

Love the mod, and I'm actually so spoiled that to play my game without it is lunancy, I've looked through the thread and the most obvious question is this.... I want to use the CORE version of this mod, because it allows me to put tat's on my teens. However, I NEED Master Controller to make my game run smoothly. I know he has the tattoo extension mod, problem is, it doesn't allow you to put tat's on your teens. So is it possible for me to keep your core and use MC also without CAS integration or Tattoo extension mods?

Absolutely. I use XCAS core with basic MC in my own game.

First off, awesome! Downloaded Nrass extension and everything is great!

I never, EVER, make requests..........but there is a first time for everything....

I recently uploaded something to the adult sister site that would work like a charm with this, if only there was a location just a few sim inches lower than the "lowerbelly". I could use a larger image, and therefore increase detail in rendering, the player could control size and transparency, the possibilities are many!

Anyway, think about it.

Thanks for all your hard work!

You're not the first to suggest this, and I'm considering working on it for when the next patch comes out next week. I assume locations for 'upstairs' would be useful too? The trick will be to have a way to hide the locations for those who don't want them.

#90 Old 24th May 2011 at 11:31 PM
I have not attempted it yet, as it did not occur to me until today, but I might be able to do the "upstairs" with what is already available (upper chest). I get more coverage with a 1024 image which is now possible thanks to you. It would require a lot of in and out game testing, so it might take me a couple of days to get back to you on that.

As for the other, a simpler solution (of course, what do I know?) might be a separate override that moves "lower belly" even lower....

Could you upload it for The Sims 3 Generations? Because it doesn't work with it.

The Generations patch isn't even out yet, and you're nagging me? Sorry, but you'll have to wait a few days until I can patch my system, update the mod, and (probably) add a couple of new locations I'm working on.

Everything works fine for me, but Teens can't have tattoos...
I haven't tried applying them in CAS, but they can't have tattoos done on game.

I have these installed:
cmar_XCAS_TattoosForTeens_Ambitions
cmar_XCAS_TattoosForTeens_Basegame

And the core, and other files of course
And I have the Ambitions expansion.

Sorry if they are only to add tattoos on CAS

I bought TS3 Generations in Poland 1 day ago so I thought that you have it;]
Don't be angry. I will wait for sure! no problem

@Galarzaa: I haven't tested with the Tattoo Artist, so I can't give a definite answer. Do you mean that the teens don't have an option to be tattooed in-game? If so, that's probably a restriction in code that's not affected by this mod. I suggest you try in CAS and/or take the sim into CAS or the tattoo screen using Master Controller. That should definitely work.

@tekk: Sorry, I didn't mean to sound mad! I think it's funny how people are asking for an update 5 minutes after a new version is released, but you were two days early! (From my POV in the US and waiting for the official release, anyway.) It would be MUCH easier if it came out over the weekend instead of on a workday when it'll take me at least a couple of days to have time to update, so I'm a little mad at EA because of that!

My apologies for this, I hadn't read that someone had already asked about Generations

Will this be updated for Generations?

Having got every expansion pack to date now, inc Gen, this mod doesn't seem to work for me It gets to the loading screen, and the text at the bottom stays with the "copyright" message, it doesn't begin to load.

I am using the newer method of adding CC, the "my docs" method, does the dx.dll still need to be present in the game directory as well or...

I am not fantastic when it comes to these sort of things If I have missed something obvious, please let me know.

In the mean time, I have gone back to using the extended game core, http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=381046 which despite flashing the 6 weeks have passed warning, seems to work fine with Gen.

@FifthAce2007: No problem. Yes, I'll update sometime this week or next weekend at the latest. Meanwhile it won't work with Generations.

Did this mod work before? No, you don't need the .dll if you're using the new 'Documents' location. Are you using any other core mod? ECG WILL conflict, although some people are able to use both.

Please test after XCAS is updated for Generations and let me know. You can also try using the Master Controller version which is not a core mod and can coexist with EGC, once it's updated for Generations and for the new version of my tattoo expansions.

Cheers, at the moment I am using the extended game core mod, but once you have updated this one, I will remove that and use this instead.

I prefer to use only the minimum of hacks, as if anything starts going wrong, it is easier to diagnose. TS3 isn't the quickest of games for loading, and going in and out trying to test different configs takes up too much time, and as I found with TS2, I ended up spending more time troubleshooting etc than actually playing

I look forward to the update. I only really want a core mod for the body sliders, but the alternate tatoo positions is intrieging me
