Clean CAS with improved lighting for content creators.
FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR CURRENT CAS PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS FILE.
Here is an improved CAS/family screen for skinners (and anyone who may want a clean, uncluttered look). The CAS is in a medium-dark grey with warm undertones, and the family screen is in a medium cool grey.
Advantages of this CAS:
* Improved screenshots with better lighting and no distracting backgrounds.
* Neutral colors make for better color decisions - the old background creates an optical illusion where red hair files and orange pets do not appear as intense as they really are. (The "orange" areas on the pictured cat have actually been toned down with a lot of yellow).
* Dark colors no longer "disappear" into the background of the family screen.
* Two different shades of grey allows for different screenshot backgrounds, in the event one of the greys causes a "dissapearing" effect with a new item.
You can see examples of these points in the attached images.
YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING CUSTOM CONTENT IN ORDER FOR YOUR CAS TO DISPLAY PROPERLY
Windkeeper's Empty CAS Screen: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1244249
* wind_CASinvisibleroundpodium.package
* wind_CASinvisibleobjects.package
* wind_CASinvisibleobjects_familypart.package
The rest of the content is Maxis. I'm not entirely sure which expansions they came from, so I ticked every box I thought would be a possibility.
ETA: I am now pretty sure that this CAS only works with the same setup I had when I made this (Uni, NL, OFB, Pets and GLS). Sorry.

About Me
ToU: Please see individual posts for my creation policies. IN GENERAL, I have fairly liberal policies, but there are a few items that are subject to other creators' policies. Therefore, I don't have a blanket ToU.
Future expansion packs: due to the headaches I have experienced from SecurROM - including damage to my computer, a complete reinstall of my computer, and the need to buy a brand new antivirus program, and eventually the need to fully replace my computer due to unremovable rootkits that took advantage of the security loopholes caused by SecruROM - I will not purchase or install/reinstall any EA or Sony products. There are conditions that may cause me to change my mind, but I don't consider them likely. This means that if any of my CC is broken by an expansion or stuff pack, I won't know and I won't be able to work on fixing any potential problems. I grant anyone permission to patch my CC for compatibility with any Sims 2 expansion or stuff pack, as long as the patched items are 100% free.
Beyond that, I'm not interested in pirating securom-infested eps, and I would never help EA advertise malware-infested products by creating content for them, so please stop e-mailing me with 'helpful' information.
Which brings me to... Take the SecuROM-free pledge!
