Am I the only one who does not have a trash bin in CAS I went to delete some skin and such and found no trash bin anywhere :angryfir:. Can anyone help me figure this out or is it something Maxis did?

It's something Maxis did.

I want to delete some custom eyes but can't, I've been deleting custom clothes and hair.

Well that was really a stupid thing for them to do. Why would they do something like that ? Maybe if we are lucky they will put it back in with a patch. I can't delete some of my clothes. I wonder why some of us has can delete some of there thing while others can't ?

It is stupid but it's probably just so you don't delete something that is permantly on your sim, like eyes or skintones. :)

But you can only delete Custom content, you've never been able to delete default skins, eyes etc.

These were custom skins, I was having trouble with my bodybuilder skins and clothes since BV and wanted to remove them. I was able to find some but not all of them.

I haven't checked, but I heard that even though you can't delete in CAS, you still can in Bodyshop.

Thank you I will try it in Bodyshop. If it work I will post

I'm also having missing trash bins in the Cas, some but not all and I'm about ready to start yanking my hair off. :angryfir: No one had answered to this thread in a while, so I was wondering if someone has found a solution or a patch for this problem? I really need to delete things and it's so frustrating when I can't. Yes, I know that I can use clean installer but it's not the same. :icon9:

I can delete in body shop on my desk top, when i'm playing the game i use body shop there is always a trash bin. So i am confused, what do you mean Cas ?

'Cas' as a 'Cas Screen', the place that comes up in the game, when you go to create a sim or a family. There are trash bins for everything, like skins, eyes, make up and accessories, clothes, etc. Since Bon Voyage, some of those trash bins are missing and its really annoying. :-(

CAS=Create A Sim

Yeah this is the same with me, can only delete hair and clothes, which is useful, but I do miss the other trash cans. I have just been deleting skins/make-up etc through Sims2Pack Clean Installer. Guessing Maxis didnt want us having them trash cans anymore, cant see why.

technically speaking CAS is "Create A Sim", a part of Body Shop; the corresponding part in-game is "Create A Family" and "Create A Student" (Uni EP only)

I think MAYBE in the unpatched version of The Sims 2 base game only it MAY have said Create A Sim originally (I may be remembering the beta version, so bare with me) -- but for reasons of convenience CAS became the common usage for both Body Shop's Create A Sim and The Sims 2's Create A Family fairly early on.

Another contributing reason is that in the game's core files /casie/ and /cas/ are used for both (you'll need to see these in SimPE to understand).

Anyway, it is a confusing thing for new players to have to learn a wide range of arbitrary acronyms like TXMT and unfamilar terms like "Material Definition" (which are the same thing); I have been at this for 3 years now and even I have to ask what some of these things mean, so I can sympathise with the new players' confusion.

I understand now.Thank you for explaining. And i have been deleting stuff while creating my sim using bodyshop.When i am choosing an outfit for the sim and i see something i know i don't use any more i click on the trash bin and delete. Usually if when i am using the body shop on my desk top. Could that be the difference?

I was having the same issue in game. The little trash can wouldn't come up when I clicked on a CAS item. But I can delete the content in my sims body shop, i didn't have a problem at all until I installed bon voyage, but it turns out cleaning custom content is actually faster in bodyshop. I would suggest trying that if you are still having a problem deleting makeup, eyes, etc.

Well, I can delete all Maxis made bins x3
