Yay! Exactly the thin I needed. Much obliged.

Hey could someone please help me when I try to make a cas screen it doesen't appear in my lots and house bin anyone know why?

i have always wondered how to do that! thanks for the information xx :D

Wow i've always wanted to do something like this i madeone and it's a success!Thanks sooo much!

Great tutorial... I've had fun with this tonight as you can see by my avatar (my new CAS screen)...

At least.... that part was a success... I think I forgot to add a few lights to my 2nd screen, hehe... but I'll get it done properly tomorrow.

Anywhooo, just wanted to say to everyone - thanks for the tutorial and hints and tips anyways =o)

:confused: [SIZE=5]I am having the same problem[/SIZE] :confused:

You could try doing what I prefer doing when I change something - I also do it because with all my downloads, the game takes FOREVER to load when all I want to do is check something.

ONLY do this if you really know what you're doing!!!!

I just name my The Sims 2 main folder like eeeThe Sims 2, then let the game load and make a fresh The Sims 2 folder. Then I just name back and forth depending on which version I want to use....

But anyways, with the fresh copy, you'll be able to find the lot to change really simply.. and it won't mess with your "real" game.

Then just follow the instructions and put your new Cas one in the "real" game Downloads folder, rename it back to The Sims 2 and make your fresh copy to dddThe Sims 2... etc.... so that it doesn't load... and anytime you want to check stuff in the game, just swap folders again...

Errr.. hope that makes sense to someone, lol!

Hey i have wanted this help also and so far i was doing pretty good until I got to step 4 now. Number 13 is no where to be found in my thing that i know of if u can help thanks.

Thanks for the tip, the rest of my fam plays on my computer and I have quite a few things they don't and if the game crashed because I did something...well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.

I've followed the instructions on this thread and created these two.

and my YACAS.

But these are before I got my copy of Nightlife. I'm planning to change it again.

Do I have to paste my custom lots to all three global lots (Sims2 Base, Uni, Nightlife) folder in order for the custom CAS to show in Nightlife?

Thanks. :wave:

I've made a ton of CAS screens, and they all work fine, so I decided to make a YACAS screen and when I got in game, and wanted to see how it turned out, there were no objects in it.. just the different wallpaper/floors.. the podium and everything was moved to where I put it, but none of the items I placed were there.

Anyone have a clue for me?

Also: I placed it in my C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\GlobalLots, and when that didn't work, I tried putting it in the dowloads folder.. still nothing.

tanderines :D

look at that me 1st modified cas that actually working thanks :banana:

will this take the place of the original CAS?

<3

Ok. i just got through this.now i'm looking at other peoples CAS screens and their's don't have the pictures hanging on the wall
. HOW??? :insane:

I just finished one! That was fun A bit tricky though. The only object I could delete and replace was the window.

thanks too useful

Just wanted to say "thanks alot" for the tutorial. After alot of back and forth tweaking, I have my first CAS screen and I like it alot.

I place walls on if front of the back painting in order to hide them and deleted the window. Everything else was just deco. I'll definately be doing more in the future when I get bored with this one.

One big question, for anyone who may have the answer...

Would it cause game conflicts if I kept a copy of CAS! in the Lot catalog so that I could make a new screen whenever I wanted, without have to cut and paste the CAS! file? ( I have it placed in my downloads folder).

Just wondering... since in the lot catalog it has a different name, I wondered if it could stay there as long as there was a CAS! file in downloads or the original location.

I'm including a pic of my CAS just to show off... hehe. If people like it, maybe I'll upload it here. (if I get permission from a couple of cc creators) :wavegbye:

Leonnese I like your cas alot...when are you going upl it?

Thanks booba. The main wallpaper in the CAS was made by me, but not the recolors, the flower vase and a wallpaper that is on a wall behind the window. I think I should ask the artists for their permission before I upload a CAS screen with their CC in it.

I wouldn't mind someone using mine (credit is always nice but let's face it... it's a game). Some artists however, are exclusive about their stuff and the last thing I want to do is piss someone off at me... hehe

Something is really wrong with my Create-a-sim background of my game. I downloaded somebody's CAS screen and it showed up alright, which is great and all, but is now stuck there for ever. it was The "Garden Theme w/ waterfall created by x Tiana A x. When I wanted to replace it with someone else's CAS screen, it just continued to stay Tiana's Garden background. What's happening? Is there a way you can help me? I'd appreciate it very much

when i put the copy in the uni folder do i leave the name of my modified CAS screen "CAS!.package", and change the name of the one presantly in the folder?

thanx soo much! it was sooo much easier than i thought!! Thank you!!! :D

i got so far as to get the wierd house, and redecorate it, but when i replaced the old cas, it didn't work! :disagree: Could someone help me?

:cdance: Yay! I figured it out! Instead of putting it in downloads, or where the old CAS was, I had to put it in both!! Now it works, and my CAS is no longer boring!!
