Mod Status for Patch 1.126

Please check it out here.

Hello! It's the second patch this month, and I'm sick again. I hope it's not the flu or something. (July 22, 11:45 AM UTC+8) Color Sliders h

Hey everyone! Please check the new status update for today's patch, 1.126.78.

I took some time off modding recently because I felt my health kept getting worse. I'm trying to get back into things slowly :) I've done so

Support is back to normal

Heya! If you tried getting support for any of my mods and didn't get a reply, feel free to comment again! I got really sick for a while.

Skip Main Menu and World Map - v2a

TL;DR

Download thepancake1_SkipMainMenuAndWorldMap_v2a or thepancake1_SkipMainMenuOnly_v2a from the download links at the bottom of this post, then put it in your Mods folder. Make sure Mods are enabled in your game settings.

Checked for compatibility with Patch 1.126 on July 22, 2026.

Last updated on July 5, 2026.

The main version, Skip Main Menu and World Map also skips the World Map, which is probably what you want. Download this version if in doubt! It functions like Skip Main Menu Only, but also resumes the active household.

Skip Main Menu Only skips the main menu only.

What's fixed

I've updated it for game version 1.125. I've also updated some of the p-code in the gfx file because they weren't consistent with how ea actionscript handles public functions.

Things to keep in mind

Because the main menu is skipped, some dialogs that appear on the main menu such as the CC/mods list gets shown when you quit the game. This is only cosmetic and won't cause any issues. You can always disable that popup by unchecking "Show at Startup" on that dialog.

Conflicts

This mod conflicts with any resource that modifies the gameentrylauncher file.

More Traits in CAS v3a

TL;DR

Download thepancake1_MoreTraitsinCAS_v3a from the bottom of this post, then put it in your Mods folder. Make sure Mods are enabled in your game settings.

Last updated on June 21, 2026 for the base version, and July 5, 2026 for the chingyu version.

More Traits in CAS lets you add more traits to your sims in Create a Sim.

Version 3a works with game version 1.125!

The ages and their new personality trait counts:

Young Adult and older: 5 traits (up from 3 previously)

Teen: 4 traits (up from 2)

Child: 3 traits (up from 1)

Toddler: 2 traits (up from 1)

Infants remain at one trait.

Remember that despite more traits being available, you don't need to fill out all traits! Self discovery (from Growing Together/EP13) still works with this mod installed, so your sim can still unlock even more traits during gameplay.

They'll show as a little hexagon near the second to the last trait.

What's new?

A slightly redesigned trait layout makes it easier to add more variants down the road. The previous version went over the sides because it added more traits while keeping the same size, but this update makes them fit in the original space.

Lot traits are now more similar to the human traits in layout.

What's fixed?

The personality trait panel extending beyond the right corner of the box when aging up or drinking the personality potion is now fixed.

Before

After

Lots of behind the scenes changes were made to make updating More Traits in CAS much easier using python scripts to edit the xml.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is updating from the previous version to this version okay?

Yes.

Can you use CC traits with More Traits in CAS?

Yes.

Where did the chingyu version go?

Vicky Sims/chingyu hasn't posted on their patreon since September 2025, but due to demand, I'm supporting this version again. Remember that the chingyu version is only needed if you have this specific mod of theirs on this page "More CAS Traits Mod + Long-Lived Traits + Add Traits Menu" with the file "chingyu_MoreTraitsMod_Option_" You don't need it if you only have their CC traits.

Can I uninstall the mod?

Yes, but any traits exceeding the default EA maximum will be removed on your sim.

Do pets gain additional traits with this mod?

Right now, no. I'm looking forward to see how feasible it is to add them though!

Conflicts

This modifies the traitsmoleculelibrary gfx file, and also the sims.aging.aging_tuning tuning and simdata files. Any mod that modifies these will conflict with More Traits in CAS.

Special thanks to the devs behind S4Studio, the devs behind JPEXS ffdec, and the devs behind python and lxml.

Please let me know if you have any issues or feedback regarding More Traits in CAS!

If there are any bugs, let me know! I'll try and fix them as quickly as possible.

Hey everyone! Still sick but am making progress on the More Traits in CAS update. Please check it out!

More Traits in CAS status update #2 by thepancake1 on Patreon. Join thepancake1's community for exclusive content and updates.

#thepancake1 #ts4 #mods

Hey everyone! More Traits in CAS will come a little later than expected because I feel a little under the weather recently. I've been working on a new workflow to make updating it a lot easier so that future updates won't take this long.

Oh and btw, if you're experiencing issues with the Sims4Studio eyebrows batch fix, have you tried deleting the localthumbcache in your Documents folder?

That should hopefully fix any issues with thumbnails still not working.

Hi! I'm still having issues with the mod. For some reason, More columns won't load even though I have both it and the color sliders UI files in the same folder.

Hi! What column variant of More Columns in CAS are you using?

Have you tried the trick of renaming the !! at the start of the eyebrow package to be __ instead?

Hey everyone! Sims4Studio released some eyebrow fixes! This includes a fix for eyebrows not working with Color Sliders, along with a batch fix so players can automatically fix existing CC eyebrows in their mods folder.

To batch fix your CC, you must have version of 3.2.6.3 or higher for S4S, then follow the steps in this image to batch fix them. The Mods shown above include:

Color Sliders now has alternative download links on Proton Drive!

There's a second place to get Color Sliders now! Proton Drive tends to be much more reliable (for me at least) and doesn't split the files into smaller zips.

it's not listed on the Patreon page because I suspect that the download links lead to my account tripping the spam filter causing the page to get suspended.

Please check the main page for more info!

hii

am having a slight issue. all ive got downloaded is the sliders, no textures and for some reason whenever i go into CAS it will just show the sim with no options to change clothes, name or anything. it seems to only happen when ive got colour slider downloaded so no idea whats up. it also doesn't let me leave CAS or close the game. cant even alt+f4 have to use task manager to close it.

What game version are you on?

Color Sliders v4c has been released!

The new update for Color Sliders fixes compatibility with More CAS Columns!

No need to redownload the textures. Please redownload the UI files though!

Thanks for the bug reports everyone. If you ever see anything odd with the mods, let me know and I'll try to fix it!

Hey! Sorry just coming back to report after my message yesterday (And prematurely getting excited haha) - sadly adding the eyebrow slider back in even after deleting the underscores, More Columns still only loads as 2 columns. I personally don't really use it for eyebrows so it's not an issue for me, I'll just keep that file out, but sorry I couldn't be more help - I thought I'd figured it out by some fluke! 😂

Thanks for the bug report still! The more information I get about the mods, the more I can try and identify what parts are buggy. What's really strange is that this was working for me pre-release, but I must have changed something that broke it at some point. I'll have to look at this today.

Hey everyone!! My new patreon page has been restored! The download links on it are still outdated though. I was falling asleep when they emailed me an hour ago

I'm still super hesitant to edit the post because the past two times I edited the post, patreon banned me. I have no idea why and appealing takes so much time 😭

I'll update the links when I wake up tomorrow. I just don't want to be banned for a third time. 😭😭

For those wondering if I'm immediately leaving Tumblr, nope! I'll be hosting the public releases of mods on Google Drive and linking them here still.

I'll answer the questions I got today soon! There was just a lot to answer.

hello! Could you please add your mod to curseforge? Many of my hairs need it and I can't link outside courseforge. Or could you give me permission to share it? For free, of course.

Yeah sure! I have never uploaded a mod to curseforge though, so I'm not even sure if I even have an account there. It might take some time for it to get approved or something.

Probably only the UI files though! I don't think curseforge would support that many texture packages on thier site.

HIIII ^_^ bug report (?) perhaps

when using color slider with more cas columns, it seems that the files for having 5 columns and 6 columns are not compatible with the slider. i had to work my way down to 4 columns before both mods worked together. this is with using the fix using the '!!'. :D

That's a pretty huge discovery! I'll need to test it myself before i can definitively say it causes the issue though. Thanks for the report!

I only use 4 columns so I never caught this bug
