I noticed his locations are slightly different than yours. Long story short, unfortunately it's not a matter of just making a few files defining a new location, like making a new facial slider. He uses my version of the layout and my other supporting files. Twallan took my core code (with permission, of course) and somehow magically made it non-core, I suspect by finding the methods and objects I had changed and dropping them into his modded UI.

If you're interested in doing that, I can provide more complete instructions. You have to add code defining a new button in the layout and the core, add code defining the instance ID of the tattoo location file, add code linking the button click to the location ID, make an icon for the button, and (if you want to do it right) add code defining how to move the CAS camera when the button is clicked. In order for the new location to show up as a button in CAS and actually do something when you click it, you need a core mod of UI.dll and some modding of the tattoo layout file - S3_025c95b6_00000000_f2d661e40c4a404b_CASTattoo.layout. Use the new location name as a base for a new Instance ID for the location, first of all. If you want a brand-new location, you have a few more steps. If you use the location CASP as is, you will move the game location to your new location. The coordinates map onto the sim the same way as skin textures - you can take any skin texture and find the coordinates, measured from the top left, with a graphics program that will show you the coordinates of your cursor. Look for the first definitions of "Lower Right" and "Upper Left", and change them to the coordinates of your location. Using a hex editor for the CASP and a text editor for the xml, modify them to change the daeFileName and the location name at the end of the xml to your new name.

(I suspect the xml files aren't necessary but I did them anyway.)Ģ.

Tattoo locations are defined in a CAS Part file just like clothing or accessories or the tattoos themselves. I can briefly describe the process I used:ġ.
