CAS Glitch - Zooms out the window.

[SarahKOM]

This isn't a problem on my game, but my friend's game. He has unpatched games up to Seasons. I don't know what mods and hacks he has.
Oddly, this seems to be a species specific glitch, and happens mostly in Veronaville.

The problem is most evident in CAS. When creating a sim, the sim is shot up against the back wall, all tiny and the lighting on it goes black and white.
When creating a cat, the camera rushes out to the left (Facing the screen), passing the photoshoot area and out to the very edge of the 'CAS Lot'.
When creating a dog, it does the opposite and goes right, straight out the window.

Neighbourhodwise, he says that the plumbobs shoot away from the sims and huddle together in a corner, still spinning. Some lots go black, as in all colours are gone and while the building and such are still there, it's all completely black. Normal sims are not able to move, while zombies are.
These things only happen with CC on, and we've just removed a big chunk of items.
As far as I can tell, it is nearly is, or just plain is a BFBVFS.

However, if there is a way to fix it, please tell so it can be fixed up.
Thanks.

If it only happens with CC on, then he's got a bad mesh or a hack that's not compatible with Seasons, or conflicting hacks.  First thing he can do is get Paladin's Hack Conflict Detection Utility from www.simwardrobe.com, and run it to see if he has hack conflicts.  If he does, and removing the conflicting hacks doesn't solve the problem, he'll then have to do a 'binary sort' on his downloads folder to try and narrow down the problem.

Why am I reminded of this?

It's really a list of the things they set up to happen if the Safe Disk protection was improperly removed by a nocd crack, same thing happened when the original came out and you couldn't save or build walls while you had the nocd installed.
