While Control Any Sim – Reborn will remain available as the original experience, the future of the project now mainly continues through Better Control.

New behaviour systems, immersion features and long-term updates are being developed there first.

Mod limitations

Changes in this version (v1.2.8)
✛ New autonomy system for Sims controlled via the mod:
- Sims in the household who are made non-playable become autonomous.
- Correct handling of the “is_npc” and “is_selectable” states.
✛ Corrected the internal “inject_field_to()“ behavior used for “SimInfo.is_npc“,
✛ Stability improvements when switching between Sims:
- Forces models to load correctly (LOD ACTIVE) to prevent glitches when changing view.
✛ Version with logging mode HERE (errors / crashes / exceptions).
