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:
