Custom CAS, Seasons and you

Didn't Pes say custom CAS screens are a VBT because they don't get various controllers stripped properly (for instance, stray animals coming in to visit, and so forth)?
Actually it's more like, custom CAS screens made with Pets installed might in theory be a VBT for that reason. There's been no documented cases of a Pets-built CAS causing a game to explode, as far as I know; I checked my own neighborhood files after I started having strays wander through and saw no signs of junk memories or other borked files. Which is not to say it can't happen; it just hasn't been confirmed at this time. Fencing off the lot and/or manually stripping out those extra controllers also seems to reduce or eliminate the stray problem.
Anyway, AFAIK there have been no problems with CAS's built sans Pets or Seasons, and Numenor's base game starter does seem to be an acceptable workaround for those who have them installed.

Yup, because I scared everyone with the possibility that your sims might meet one of these visitors and then, if the sim is discarded instead of saved to the neighborhood, the visitor's memories would be corrupted.
Pescado said it was "possible" but not worth the time it would take to test.
I don't use custom CAS lots myself... never saw the point of them.

Same here, I just felt like asking. Because knowing is half the battle.

Blah. I hate complications, I was hoping someone would just say 'here is a hack you couldn't find because you are not awesome' and then I'd go along my merry way. I suppose if it isn't worth investigating I'll just have to install the Numenor thing and deal with it.
The point of a custom CAS for me is that I spend a lot of time taking screenshots and stuff in there, and I hate the maxis plain brick fugly thing. That's about the only reason, really.
