Lol, it took me a while but i FINALLY Finished my CAS!!! The pictures are to large to put as attachments, but i am going to make it donwlaodable, just search for it when you get the time.

Now I'll give up! I've tryed almost everyday but the CAS wont show up in the lot catalog! Help :P

I have a question...if i will delete my seasons, then create the CAS and install seasons again, the sims will still freeze like that?
great tutorial =] i already made a cas long time ago but i deleted some of the custom objects, and now it looks kinda ugly now so i want to remake it X_X

You dont need to Uninstall Seasons for the CAS! Screen! just get base game starter pro (here), and start with any game other than seasons, then do the steps in Vashti's tutorial...

i don't have the CAS!.package in my computer!...wat do i do now??

rocknroll13 -- you must not be looking in the correct directory, because the CAS comes with the game.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We need more gothic CAS!-screens!!

The Tutorial Was Reelii Good, But My Sims Keep Freezing!
Then After About 2 Mins The Aplication Crashes!
Can Someone Tell Me Why This Is?

I could not find the CAS! and YACAS! thing.

Did you go to your game installation files?

YourLadyOfSorrows

Yes, read the part about not being able to make a custom CAS using Seasons. You must go learn how to use base game installer and make a configuration of your game w/o seasons to build your CAS in.

Broomy, look carefully at the directory headers in the example, and follow all the instructions - you will be looking for a lot in your new blank neighborhood, doing some renaming and so on. If you miss a detail, you will have a difficult time finding your files.

Thank you so much for this easy to follow tut! I was able to get it first try and I made a simple CAS with up to Nightlife installed and no custom content.

My sims will freeze, if i put roof on CAS?

Your sims will freeze if you try and make a custom CAS and own Seasons. To make them not freeze, you must use the base game starter and not include Seasons EP when you _make_ your new CAS. Then you can bring your new CAS into your regular game.

Is there anything I can do to help fix the Seasons with out the Basegamestarter? I don't like frozen sims!!!

animagic - you must build your CAS house using the basegame starter (and any combo of eps before seasons, although many folks also exclude pets)

Then you CAS will work with any version of the game with all those eps (and any extras). SO you must use basegame starter to begin the project if you have seasons installed.

Em... guys.... exuse me please... coz I am disturbing you with stupid questions! I always understood everything with SIMS 2, but now... this CAS - freezing - I cannot understand anything.... 1. I got Seasons - that`s why my sims freeze..... mmm..... so... I dont want to delete my sims because of freezing in the CAS house.... but - I wonna ask... Why they are freezing in Seasons? And I must switch this Base Game Starter before everytime I use Sims2? Or only when I create the CAS house? Can u tell about it again for me? 100 exuses... but i want new CAS, but... missunderstoodd........ exuse me again!

This is an awesome tutorial! It's quick and simple. Thanks so much!

RomanceXGirl - uhm, if you read the thread, you'd have the answer - that was JUST answered right above your post.

MAKE your new CAS using the base game starter and exclude Seasons in your 'base' game. Then it will work in all games.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I have always been so hesitant to alter anything with my Sims 2 Files since my pc usually crashes in the past.

And now that I have a Macbook Pro, I was even more scared that the same thing might happen . . .

But what the heck!

I followed it step by step & PRESTO!!!

It worked like MAGIC!

So for all those Mac users, this tutorial is very helpfull just in case you want to spruce up your CAS!

Tiggerypum, i salute you for this tutorial!!! I have always been so intimidated with all this tutorials but since you assured that it was easy, I gave it a shot! And now my CAS screen is just the way I like it!

My deepest gratitude goes to you!

SALUTE!

Thanks a lot. I will try. So, If I will install Bon Voyage in September( New realese) - will it wirk correctly?

RomanceXGirl - uhm how are we supposed to know - do you think Maxis gives us test copies of the game? Whatever happens then happens then, that's how it always is.

tiggerypum: you have the patience of a saint, my dear.

Thank you for this tutorial! I was always very curious. I am a bit disappointed I have to go through the trouble of the base game starter, but I suppose that's life.

Can someone PLEASE HELP ME!! I ACCIDENTALLY CHANGED THE FILE TYPE OF MY CAS! AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS!

My sims face be greay and it frozen and fall!!
