Hi, I want to remove the zoom in on hands when you select rings and bracelets in CAS. I have lots of cc in those categories that are not actually bracelets or rings, and because of this feature I've been having a hard time using CAS. I've looked throughout every single CAS tuning file, modified and tested quite a few of those files but to no luck.

Then I started digging into Scaleform GFX files and in those I have found a line that definitely looks like what I should be modifying but to no luck again.

The line I modified is "widgets.CAS.constants > MenuState > ShouldZoomHands function"

This is what it looked like before editing:


And this is after:


I found "widgets.CAS.constants > MenuState" in 6 different GFX files; "cascustomizer" , "caslibrary" , "caspaintingpanel" , "casgeneticspane" , "cassimcontextmenu" , "casfeaturedlooks" Edited the same line in all of them, tested the edited files in game (with all other mods removed to not risk conflicts) Did absolutely nothing in game.

I have no prior experience editing Scaleform GFX files so I could very well be doing something wrong, if anyone has any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or what I should do I would really appreciate it. You can also check out the edited Scaleform GFX files I uploaded in a package.

Your over looking things lol. Did you look at the camera tuning files.

This will make the full body viewable when selecting the ring or bracelet category.

Create a empty package with Sims 4 Studio.

Extract auCASPart_RingFingerRight, auCASPart_WristRight and auCASPart_FullBody.
Not sure if you need the left ones as well in my test with the ring the other hand did not get zoomed in on,
if the camera switches to the left hand just do the same to the left files.

Copy This from auCASPart_FullBody and replace the code in the other two CASPart_* xml's


Now replace the CameraPosition and TargetPosition in SimData with this from the SimData from auCASPart_FullBody.


Once done delete auCASPart_FullBody xml's from the package.

Hope this helps you

This just changes the catalog thumbnail camera not the actual camera state and pose the sim makes.

You asked how to remove the zoom in, which is what i done.

It changes the camera zoom in. The camera stays on full body when selecting rings. It does not change any thumbnail.

Maybe what your looking for you have to use Game File Cruiser to find it.

I did as your instructions but it only changes the generated thumbnails for my game, I really don't get it.

Edit:
I realized that you don't have the new "skin effects" category. I think you're just on an older version where the zoom didn't exist yet.

Haha yeah i did test it on 1.109.207.1020, but i do have the latest 1.118.242.1030, the older version is my main game.

Your right it no longer works with the latest game version. That's why it's better to keep an old version, no one is forcing anyone to update.

These are all the new camera xml's but there is no camera xml for the accessories when it's clicked on and no camera xml for SkinSpecularity

This one is the only modified one no other xml has been modified.
auCASPart_TattooArmLowerLeft.xml

I used a program that can search inside files for any given text string, auCASPart_* are not listed inside any xml that Scumbumbo XML Extractor extracts.

You may need to poke around in files with Game File Cruiser until you get lucky and find what you need, but i think the way the camera is in the newer version you might
need to create a python script mod.

I haven't tried this but you could try changing the clips (animations) with the full body one, you can either extract the clips and just
rename them or edit the ASM file, but the only issue you might face is the FOV of the camera.

Good luck with it

Ok i have worked it lol

Test the file i have uploaded.

The sim will still turn to the side when clicking on accessories but at least the hand zoom is gone.

Edit: Upload a version with a better FOV.
Still can't find what controls the sim to turn to the side as when going to clothing and back to accessories the sim will randomly face the opposite direction.
