Strange CAS Issue.

Hello,

Yesterday, I went into CAS. I could not download a Sim from the Gallery or change the Sim's body type. Additionally, I will show you another issue in the CAS screenshots.

I did get out of the game and saved that. Then I took out all of my mods, went back in, and everything was okay.

Then I did a 50/50 on all of my mods. That did not solve the issue because even without mods, I get the same problem in CAS. This is strange because the first time that I took out all the mods, CAS went back to normal. What is going on here?

Note: I do delete the caches every time I log out of my game. I also did test my game out vanilla. So how do I fix this?:

 

cc or mods removed
create a sim
the gallery
ui (user interface)

    I went to CAS using testingcheats and clicking on the sim. I can only reach managed households in the world, not in live mode. I didn't know that there is a button I could click on the Simology Panel or use the Mirror or Dresser. I did try those; however, my issue is that I cannot change my Sim's body type. This problem is definitely a save issue, because I took out all of my mods to see if that works. But I still get that issue. I did take out all of my saves and created a new save with no problems.  Otherwise, I have a corrupt save issue. But it's with all of my saves on this one (I do backup my saves too). With the plumbob one, that is also a corrupted save file. I couldn't click on that until I was doing a 50/50 and I did screenshot of the save where I can do that. This is what I need help with. As with being unable to get into the gallery in CAS, that was also a save file issue with the plumbob one too.

    SimSeeker​  How did you go to CAS?  Did you go via Manage Households or via a dresser or mirror?  Or did you go using one of the buttons you can click in the sim's simology panel?  I suspect you used one of the Go to CAS buttons in the sim's simology panel because what you got with not being able to download from the Gallery and no body or face button is from going to CAS that way.

    If you didn't know, there is more than one version of CAS in the game that have slightly different options.  Why, idk, but there are.  You get full CAS when you go there via Manage Households or using a dresser or mirror.  You get an abbreviated version of CAS when you go there via one of the two Go to CAS buttons in a sim's simology panel.  IOW, nothing is wrong, that's how the game normally works.  Btw, if you use the cas.fulleditmode cheat prior to hitting a Go to CAS button, you get full CAS instead of the abbreviated version.

    As for the other issue with the stacking aspiration and age panels in the upper left of the screen, I had that too when I went to CAS using one of the Go to CAS buttons in the sim's simology panel.  But it was easily fixed by clicking on the plumbbob button in the upper left corner.  Once I clicked the button, the panels fixed themselves and displayed correctly.  It can be annoying and it's technically a bug but it's not a game breaker.  It didn't happen when I went to CAS via Manage Households.

    Hope this helps.
