CAS background wont change.
i have a problem, I have no cas background type file in my mods folder but when I load the game (and go into CAS) the background is still there and I would like to change it. I have deleted my old ...

@iSnoopy2001 @amazesimms Have you tried clearing your cache after switching the CAS background mods in your Mods folder? You can do this by deleting the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder. The game will auto-generate a new localthumbcache.package file the next time you launch it. You'll also want to make sure that any mod you are trying to use, background or otherwise, is current and verified to be compatible with the latest game patch.
Maybe give this a try:
1) Remove all background mods from your Mods folder
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder
3) Restart your game to see if the CAS background is back to the default appearance.
If this works, then try adding the new background mod to your Mods folder and see if it is working properly now.
Btw- I delete the localthumbcache.package file from my Mods folder every time I make any changes to my mods folder.
Good luck, I hope this helps :D
I've done all the steps numerous times. I deleted the localthumbcache.package file, cleared the rest of my cache, repaired the game, updated the game, restarted, etc.
This is what my file folder looks like atm:
That is my CAS Background folder in the Mods section. As you can see, there's nothing in it.
While that was going on, this is what my CAS Background looked like in game:
This is the same CAS Background that I have been trying to delete for so long, why can't I get rid of it?😢😢. I would assume that if there was nothing in my Mods: CAS Background folder, there it would revert back to the default background.....?
Meanwhile, I keep all of my extra CAS Backgrounds, outside the Mods folder, in here:
How would I fix this?
@iSnoopy2001 Is it possible you put this background in a different subfolder? Try moving your entire Mods folder to the desktop, as as test. Start a new save to see whether the background is still there.
If it is, please confirm that the Mods folder you moved is the one from the Sims 4 user data folder the game is actually using. This is easy: just check the last modified date on config.log inside the folder. Its time and date should match the last time you launched the game, as in, a few minutes before when you opened TS4 to test.
Thank you so much! I just now realized that this entire time, I did in fact have a copy of the background in a Subfolder.
I will update you guys again once it's all clear.
I love the EA Community!
