So it was figured out that due to Blender 4.3.2, presets were breaking hairs and making things look weird. Since all my existing presets were made with that version, I've decided to make some new ones with Blender 2.79 instead. These ones shouldn't break any hairs in-game. ALSO, the crotch has not been moved, since that seems to make CC react wildly in other presets I've tried.
Anyway, I hope you like them π

I figured, since everyone uses a UI mod or two, it'd be nice to do a compilation of their respective glitches (if or when they happen) and hopefully makes it easier for you to identify which mods need updating :9 but before that, some context about them! (disclaimer: all info based on my own experience w/ making UI recolors.)
// about UI mods
They usually edit one of these two UI files, or both:
GFX files:Β often edited to add/modify the functionality of a UI.
Examples: More Traits in CAS, Searchable menus/UIs, UI Cheats Extension, TOOL, etc.
Texture (DDS) files:Β often edited to change the texture of a UI.
Examples: CC wrench icons, main menu/loading screen override, and world map replacements.
Both:Β UI recolors often edit both files above as text colors are handled by GFX files and the textures are edited separately. Some main menu and loading screen overrides also edit both if there's a new functionality added to them.
// GFX and texture file(s) comes as a set for the UIs they're made for
For example, the main Calendar UI comes with one GFX fileΒ (calendar.gfx) and one Texture file (instance # 999522802c8b1c5c). Meanwhile, the Edit Holiday & Plan Event UIs have their own set of GFX & Texture files. This can be further confirmed by checking the GFX file and see which external image it's referencing to in the file.
because of this, it makes it easy to pinpoint which UI mod is causing a glitch, hence the creation of this guide :p
// cause of a UI glitch
Whenever there's a new game update, the GFX and texture set are updated together if a new functionality is added to a UI. With that in mind, when you have a UI mod from the previous patch laying around, you now have one half outdated/modded UI file (i.e. GFX) and one half up-to-date/unmodded UI file (i.e. UI texture) loaded up by the game (or vice versa), and that discrepancy in version is how you get the UI visual glitch!
Here's an example of a UI known to break (guicomponentlibrary.gfx):
There are instances where only the GFX file gets updated and not the textures, causing little to no visual bugs, or in another case, having 2 outdated UI mods from the same set (i.e. custom wrench icon & more traits in cas mod).
So even if there seems to be no visual bugs, some UIs may still not function as it's supposed to (mainly after big game updates). Always a good idea to check all of your UI mods.

I want to let you know that this CC is a bit heavy! ( I THINK... )
I've done everything I can to reduce it with everything I know!
