Same. I have noticed their CAS VFX is gone. Was wondering if it was just a one time thing in my game. Thankfully I'm not alone.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.305.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Some
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into CAS and attempt to create a Spellcaster.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Spellcasters I try to create always attempt to display the magic animation in CAS, but the Vfx animation is missing. So, it just looks like they’re moving their arms around and pointing to the side.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the Vfx animation (i.e. the spellcaster orb) to display properly in CAS.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This issue started appear after the Horse Ranch (1.99.264.1030) I believe. I haven’t checked to see if anything has changed in a while. I haven’t upgraded the SDX from 8/22 or 9/5 update patch yet.
I was actually just inquiring as to whether or not this has been fixed yet with either the latest SDX or the September 5th patch update. It doesn’t mention so in the notes, so I’m asking here. Again, I haven’t checked myself. I’m away from my laptop.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll probably check on my end later this weekend, but you’re probably right. They need to fix this. Broken presentation is just as game breaking as anything else or it ruins the fantasy at least. ![]()

Does anybody know of a mod I can use to fix this. I know I labeled my report as “Never used” but that’s because this was tested on a brand new save file without mods. I usually use mods and I am not opposed to it.
