Still 2 CAS Columns in Big 2026?
We have so much content in the game if you have all packs. I think interchangible cas columns would be perfect like we can change colums to 2-3-4-5 to see items in bigger frame. Also hide option wou...

Unfortunately, the left side has a drop down menu that would cover up the sim when opened with your suggestion. I predict they do not want the sim to be covered up by the drop down menu on the left side. I do use the mod that allows for more columns, but it can mess with the UI and doesn't always look great. Btw, I play on both a gaming laptop and desktop and the game looks the same.
The left side isnt about items so it wouldnt really matter if it covers the sim.
Or they could make the sim adjust to which menu is open. Open the left, move the sim to the right. Open the right, move the sim to the left. No good reason to anchor the sim to the center which seems to handcuff the devs by their own doing and then tell players "thats technically not doable" or the current excuse "its by design". Yeah, its bad design.
We shouldnt need mods for something so basic. I figured this out in the first five minutes of using cas for the first time when half the screen was empty while I selected clothing for my sim.
Zasz_Zerg, while I understand your point, the Sim itself was the focus point of this iteration starting in 2014. It is why you start all new games in CAS and not start on the map. So when they say it is "by design." That was the original focus. The only way to change the design is to literally code a new game.
UI layout is modular and patchable. Engine architecture isnt. If the UI were truly immutable, the More Columns mod wouldnt exist
Modders have already proven the CAS UI is not hard‑coded into the engine. If a small modder can expand the columns in an afternoon, the game devs can absolutely do it too.
If EA wanted this feature they could literally adopt the existing mod, integrate it, and maintain it the same way they maintain every other UI element that breaks each patch. The fact that they dont tells you the limitation isnt technical, its a design choice they have decided not to revisit. And that choice directly reflects on their competence in UI design.
More Columns mod isn't perfect though and that's literally coming from the modder themself.
