Master Controller Settings

Post by jazzy_miint » January 19th, 2019, 9:42 am

So, I have been googling a solution for days and nothing has seemed to come up, so I decided to see if anyone had a solution to my problem on here instead.

Recently, I have been downloading lots of custom content and store content, and to try and make my CAS run smoother, I decided to click my sim, NRaas, Master Controller, Settings, CAS, and changed the settings below to true from false:
1. Multiple Accessories Per Location - True
2. Multiple Makeup Per Location - True
3. Show In Compact Form: Accessories - True
4. Show In Compact Form: Clothing - True
Previously, all these were false, however, I changed them and went on to my CAS and none of the items were in compact form and I could not place more than one accessory in the same place. (Like two different bracelets or rings)
So my problem: Is that all you have to do, or do you have to do something else like reset your game or something like that...? I just want them to work, so if anyone has a solution please let me know.

Hi there, and welcome to NRaas. In the future, I would suggest stopping by here for support earlier on (with NRaas mods I mean, not general google inquires) as it is kind of what we are all here for. You would be amazed at the amount of "bad" game advice there is floating around out there. :)

There are two versions of CAS and its subsets like Change Appearance. The MC version is the one that will respond to the MC settings changes you have made. The EA version will not as it doesn't know anything about these things. To get into the MC version of CAS or its subsets, an actual MC command must be used (NRaas > MC > ... > Stylist or Edit in CAS). If you use testingcheatsenabled or some other in-game method, then you get EA's version. To tell which version of CAS you are actually in, right-click on the "..." button in the lower left corner of the CAS screen that usually leads to game options, save, quit, etc. If you are in the MC version of CAS, an MC options panel will pop up. If you are in the EA version, nothing will happen on a right-click.

The way to extend the MC version of CAS that honors these settings changes across the entire game is to also have the MC Integration add-on module in place. Then testingcheats, Change Appearance (mirrors), Plan Outfit (dressers), the Ambitions stylist makeovers, etc. will all utilize the MC version. The one exception is when you first load the game up, if you jump into Create A Household (CAH) before an active household is selected and the game clock starts moving forward smoothly, then the mods will not have fully loaded yet and you will be back in EA's version again. This is the one that takes many players by surprise.

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful and for future reference I will most certainly come here first, this really helped me and I also understand as well which is what I was afraid I wasn’t because I’m not quite as good with mods as experts are, hence the question, so I will definitely recommend my other sims 3 players/friends with NRaas mods to come here for a quick response and resolution if they have any problems. Thanks again!
