Q: What are CAS poses?
A: CAS poses are used to take pretty screenshots in CAS. They replace the normal animations that play when you select any trait.
This works for all ages of Sims and also pets, but it does not work for occult forms, as you cannot change traits while in occult form.
Which CAS traits use which animations
First I will be listing all CAS traits with the name of their animation from Sims4 Studio. Some traits share the same animation, therefore you can't have animations for all of them.
You can find the Google spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eYwZzo_tBA-vhxFXz4ANd0n075Ls_cEbfiQlaM0QNtU/edit?usp=sharing
How to change which CAS trait poses use
Most pose creators offer 1 or 2 CAS traits for their CAS poses, but if you already have poses installed for those, you can easily change that to any other CAS trait.
Requirements:
S4 Studio
The CAS pose you want
The trait you want to use
1. Download and install S4 Studio
2. Download the poses you want
3. Open up your downloaded pose and go into the warehouse tab.
4. Open a second S4 Studio, select “Override” under “Animation” in the main menu.
5. Select the animation name according to the spreadsheet of which trait you want to replace. I will just use the trait "Proper" for adults, so I select "a_CAS_trait_proper_x"
6. Save the file as whatever, you only need it for values and not the file itself. This is your Source. Then also go into the warehouse tab.
7. Now you need to copy over the values in "ClipName" and "Key-Instance" from the source file to the animation you want to change the traits in. They text after "Key" will change automatically later.
8. Now do that for both Types "Clip" and "Clip Header".
9. The Warehouse should now look exactly the same for both files.
10. Rename the animation files to however you organize your animations. I will add "Proper_" as a prefix for my package (see "How to organize your CAS poses" above).
11. Done!
How to organize your CAS poses
I wrote down the (expansion/game pack +) name of the animation in front to make sure i don't use the same ones multiple times and kept the original name of the CC.
It's also nice to write down which traits you still can use for CAS poses:
i made these to match my earthy cas backgrounds!
new matching cc wrench override - latte!
• two cas organizer color options
• one cc wrench override (optional)
• only put one cas organizer and one cc wrench override in your mods folder at one time or they will not work.

These are the two options I've made. These can be put directly into the regular Sims 4 mods folder, BUT please only use ONE version at a time. These organizers are a marker for when a category ends.
Thank you for reading babies. I hope you enjoy !! ໒꒰՞ ܸ. .ܸ՞꒱ა
I've been looking for a Tidy CAS that fits with the default white UI but couldn't find one so I made my own version that matches with the default UI and still fits with it, credits to @yoruqueenofnightsims for the tutorial, and it also uses her white version as a base.

for when you're drowning in overlays and just want things neat
i originally made these organizers for CAS in russian,
but folks asked for an english version — so here we go
thanks for the idea to @blackpanda-ts4 :)
🤍 what is this
— these are empty slots that help visually separate your custom content
— no textures, no meshes — your sim doesn’t "wear" them, they’re just visual markers
💡 important to know
— to make them transparent, you need a base file — that’s what makes the magic work
— if you're using a CAS UI replacement, the base file must load above it, or it won’t function
— make sure your folder includes one TidyCAS file and one wrench icon file
also, both the base file and the wrench replacement may need updates after game patches
🔧 a matching wrench icon replacement is included — for a cleaner, more cohesive look
👤 works for all ages, genders, and occult types
💡 original concept by sparrowcc
💌 thanks to @yoruqueenofnightsims for tutorial — that’s how i figured all this out back in the day
tools used:

hi i hope it's okay to reach out to you about this, but i don't understand your "tidy cas" tutorial, im autistic so i need things over explained to me.
"What you want to do is look for all "CAS part Thumbnail" entries."
when i open the package file in s4s it just shows two cas part thumbnails, so do i manually add the rest? i understand importing the image, but... if it's supposed to be a template for ease of just importing our own divider then where's the rest of the cas part thumbnails? there's only makeup/face paint listed!
sorry if it's easy to understand and i'm just not getting it and sorry if this isn't the place to ask! i can be slow.
also, i didn't sort by type or anything, when i open it raw it looks like that. your screenshots show something completely different and i'm just uncertain what i'm supposed to do!
thank you in advance ^^" and again im sorry
Hi, very sorry for the late reply.
In this case you opened one of the loose files option.
In order to have all CAS part entries, you can open "YoruQueenOfNight_TidyCAS_2.2_Pink.package" as an example.
Hello! I find your article on the visual CAS organizer very interesting! The only thing I don't understand is how to write my category on the thumbnail (sorry, I don't have photoshop). Is there a free photo editor you recommend? Should I then import that thumbnail to your CAS base file? Thanks
Hi, you can use Photopea: https://www.photopea.com
I've been using CAS organisers for a while now and I find them so useful. Since I like to customise a lot of the UI I thought why not make an organiser too?
This could have not been made without the amazing @yoruqueenofnightsims , all I did was edit the images! You can follow their tutorial to make your own!
✨🐆🌺 gyaru cas organizer 🌺🐆✨

ahh im so excited to share this with you all :3 it's my first official CC and I hope you love it! of course, this wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of @yoruqueenofnightsims. without her wonderful photoshop template and tutorial I wouldn't be able to present you all with this :) as this is my first piece of CC their may be problems with it so feel free to contact me if any occur and I will do my very best to resolve them. they have been tested in-game and are in working order atm so *hopefully* they work well for anyone who would like to use them 🩷 I plan to make more of them soon so stay tuned for that. the gyaru theme was my test run but I ended up liking it more than I thought I would and figured it was good enough to share. enjoy!
important info- there are three download options within the folder. a merged file, a zip file and a separate folder with the individual files. choose only one method to avoid duplicate files and possible issues ☺️🩷
tou: just please don't claim this as your own. be a good person. also, follow the original creator's tou as this wouldn't exist without them :)
