Cas UI Issue

Just to break it down since it’s been a rollercoaster…

Issue: The CAS menu does not show any icons (except the top right ones) upon opening via cheats or mirror [refer to picture attached]. Tested with ‘cas.fulleditmode’ on and off. Cannot edit anything, use any of the icons, or open the menu. Forced to close through task manager. 

Triggers: The only consistency is that it opens when all mods currently installed are present. However… 

  • The lot51 core mod, MCCC mod, Srsly’s Modding Resource mod, Basemental Venue List mod, XML Injector Script mod, UI Cheats Extension mod, and TurboDriver mods DO NOT cause this bug and have been tested numerous times on different saves to verify this. 

  • Doing the 50/50 method did not work as the bug did not come up when the mods were split. 

  • The bug did not come up 100% of the time. It was seemingly at random with no clear identifiable trigger among multiple saves. 

  • The Better Exceptions mod detects an error upon opening the bug but does not display it, instead infinitely loading. 

This bug has persisted for the past 2 weeks, just about, and inhibits any gameplay involving sim customization. Anyone have a fix?

  • Vinhel​ Lot 51 Core Library and XML Injector do not cause anything to break on their own. If you remove them and there's no issue, that can mean any mod that requires them can be an issue. Leave them in while you test. 

    Sorry, I don't know of any particular cause. Do double check multiple times (since it doesn't come up 100% of the time) after renaming the Mods folder and deleting localthumbcache. If there's then no issue, add in your injector/library mods (consider download fresh copies) and then add in mods gradually.
