Would it be possible to script inject into an ASM?
Tagging @TURBODRIVER cause I know you have some experience with script injections. Figure if anyone in the modding community knows, it might be you.
Basically, what I'm looking at is... there's a centralized "CAS" ASM file, (ID/name is 02D5DF13!00000000!D8D5C1186BA97FDC.CAS.AnimationStateMachine if you use Sims Studio to extract it). In theory, with the file as it is right now, I'm pretty confident I could override it and put in some new CAS trait idles (I already have some custom trait idles put together that work in-game, but not in CAS yet, since that's a separate animation reference).
But assuming that's a thing I could do, the forward-compatibility would be poor. I'd probably be looking at updating the file every single time Maxis adds content that adds additional CAS-based animations.
So I'm wondering if there's any possibility I could inject somehow. I'd need to inject parts like:
Within this, I think:
And I'd need the names under this:
Possibly this as well (not sure if I strictly need the IK Configuration):
So it's pretty involved, I'd assume. Maybe way too involved for a script injection, but I figured I'd ask and see what people know. Would be really cool if it could be done, as it'd open the door to some neat possibilities.
