Hello all,

I had difficulties with my sims game when the Origin to EA Migratrion happened and i've just recently gotten it fixed:

However, once in my game i've noticed things like Nrass not working the way it should

A prime example which is the biggest pain for me is the NRass Cas mods.. The 'Show in Compact' setting was a saving grace for me as i have quite a collection of CC as my main focus of the game is purely sim related, not casual gameplay. However now it doesn't seem to work, despite having it set to 'True' for all 3 functions it doesn't collapse/compact the clothing, accessories etc.. I've tried switching it to 'False' then back to True but that doesn't seem to fix it.

What could be the cause for this? I've not added any new mods because as i said i just got it back up and running again. What can i do/try to resolve this?

Many thanks.

Maybe, you simply lost your settings? The default setting is the normal behavior (show every item separately).
Sometimes, if the game is working on lots of different things at once during the start and your computer isn't the best, the CAS setting won't be applied. In that case, it should be better on next restart. Of course, you can always go into MC's CAS settings and toggle the setting off and on again, which should fix it immediately.

Can you also confirm for us that you are actually in MC's version of CAS and its subsets when this happens and not EA's version? The way to tell for sure while there is to right-click on the "..." button in the lower left corner that usually leads to Save, Quit, etc. If in the EA version of CAS or a subset, then nothing will happen. If in the MC version, then you will get an MC options setting panel appearing the middle of your screen.

The EA version of CAS is still there even if the player doesn't intend to use it. The MC version should get called up by way of a specific MC command (Advanced > Edit in CAS) or by way of the other in-game commands only if MC Integration is present. The EA version will also load, as a surprise to many players, if the game session has just started up and the game clock has not yet had a chance to move forward smoothly (meaning the mods haven't fully loaded yet either).

The EA version of CAS and its subsets knows nothing about the MC version and its options like Compact View and Max Sliders among other important things, so it's pretty crucial to check for sure which one has loaded when it's not behaving as expected.

Yes i'm in MC's version oc cas when u click on MC > Cas > Edit in CAS. Yes the MC panel opens when i right click on the ... symbol.

As i said i've tried toggling the True to False for the show in compact form but it didn't work.

Would it at all help if i redownload all NRass mods and reinstall them to see if that fix's it? As not having MC's settings work as they should do is a huge hinderance to my games performance.

It's worth a try

And you don't use the Smoothpatch? Which is known for breaking MC Integration compact form and other things.

Hmm, I'm using the Smooth Patch, and it seems to work fine? Aside from very strenuous situations for my system, like when a new world is set up.

Not to abuse this thread, but do you know where I can find what is supposed to be broken?
Edit: Oh, it's the 2.0 beta. I use an older version that doesn't do much if anything with CAS.

Nope, don't have smoothpatch so its not the issue.. If u want i could link u a google drive folder with all my Core Game mods? I'm bad at catgeorising my mods folder but one thing i keep under control is mods that alter with my games performance and its core systems if thats something that could be looked through to see if something there could of altered it.. but then again i've not added anything to break it. Its just since the dreaded forced migration from Origin to EA..

Which i thought i fixed but since restarting my pc it doesn't seem like it working again... keep getting the same "Your game failed to launch" so will have to try and refix that and then proceed to trying to fix this NRass error.

Oh, that. The EA App sometimes reacts well to this old computer advice: "Have you tried switching it off and then on again?"
At least that's working for me. If it doesn't want the game to launch, I end the App (completely, not just in the tray) and start it again (via the Sims3 launcher).

My games not the issue as i can keep refixing it however my nrass is still a bother... idk what to do

As a test, remove everything but the base mastercontroller package from your mods folder. Does it work now?
