I don't know why, but in my game says that is the 1.8.3 version, having supposedly downloaded the last version (1.8.4)
Hi, is this working? :o
El mod esta actualizado ???
i hope it gets update becouse i loved it but it made my sims blackscreen after the initial load up, please <3
Working on it 💕
Amigo el mod esta roto despues de la actualizacion te deja la pantalla negra por favor lo puedes actualizar me gustra mucho en este menu personalizado
Has this been updated recently? if not i hope so i loved it but it made my sims blackscreen after the initial load up
can you add animated backgrounds to this?
Back to playing after another long hiatus and hated the man menu more than ever and this mod is a wish come true! Thank you for your hard work!
Same, I'm coming back after a yearlong hiatus myself and it's nice not to be sold crap as soon as I open the game
can you add animated backgrounds to this?
I appreciate your incredible work, the update, and this creation. Simply thank you. 😌💖
It's beyond beautiful! *__*
Thank you!
hello Is it possible to access the Marketplace from your main menu? I need to go to the Marketplace from the main menu to activate the expansion pack I just bought..
Hello! so sorry for the late reply, in the lastest update (1.7.4) you can access the marketplace again!
I'm using your TartosaFalls better main menu - does this one still work with the newest patch and doesn't need an update?
The spinoffs of Better Main Menu haven't been updated to work with the latest patch, yet
Tysm for the update! And so quickly too. I really love this mod! ^_^
hey! i recently downloaded your newest bettermainmenu version, but it doesnt seem work? it only appears as black homescreen in mine and i cant figured out why, but i have figured out that its not because of conflicted ui mods/ other mods i have (i tried using other main menu mods and works just fine)
It broke with the marketplace update, hopefully I'll get to updating it soon, I'm just too busy irl this period 😭
I just have one question about this main menu. Does it show photos of your Sims or the family you are currently playing with?
It does, when you hover your cursor over the household name 💕
idk if maybe i'm just not... doing something right or understanding right but the D key just randomizes the background for me, and space bar does nothing
I think,from my understanding, that you're trying to randomize the backgrounds while you're on dynamic mode, the frame randomization is disabled while in that mode & only backgrounds tied to that mode are being shown depending on the time irl, once you leave that mode, you can randomize the backgrounds again 💕
The post says v1.7.2 but the download says 1.7.1. Is the download the same version as the post?
hello, i have a black border on the right
Hello, could you provide a screenshot with the issue? Thank you 💕💕
hi, it says "media file not found" when i click on the file
Working on it! Try downloading it in 30 minutes again 💕
hi i just sent you a message!
Hii i love your mods as recommended by misslollypop sims but I'm having a problem with the mod its shows the ea default one how do i fix this
Usually when a main menu doesn't show up is either because the mods are disabled (usually after a big Patch) or there is another override conflicting with this mod..Do you happen to have any other main menu overrides? Maybe those that just disable ads on the original menu?
Oh my gosh. THANK YOU! This looks awesome, like your other wonderful mods!
I wanted to know if a version could be made where it used a small version of the flat white plumbob from the simplified loading screen instead of the animated one here
Can I choose a specific image?
Hi~ may I ask if this new version can be used with 1.116?
Probably not, unfortunately😅
Awesome! Thank you for fixing it so soon! I hope the others don't give you too much trouble to fix either! I love switching between this one, your cherry blossom, your homeview, and your seabreeze one all the time!
Thank you ♥️ I didn't make cherry blossom nor the homeview though 😅
Wow - did not expect it to be fixed so soon. I just found you almost a week ago and I love your menu. Thank you for creating beautiful thingies ❤️😍
thank you!! also thank you for being so quick with updating!
I do my best 💓💓💓
I believe the newest update broke this mod. I had to take it out to fix my main menu.
Yeah, it broke all menu overrides, working on a fix⚙️♥️
Thank you
menu now looks soo much nicer, thank you! here on the screens there is no red dot on the store, but if you dont have all content there is a notif...can you maybe hide it in the future updates?
I was wondering if it is possible to work with Simattically's refreshed main menu at the same time
I could see them working together cause they do the same things with both high quality
I. LOVE. THIS. SO. MUCH.
Thank youu!
Hello! Just want to say first how much I adore this override! However, I might just be confused but the changelog says there are 6 new standalones, however in the STANDALONE zip, there are only 5 packages? Is it because the 6th is the Main Menu base, or was it accidentally left out of the folder? Thanks <3
The standalones are from the 1.0 version when It was still in early access, which it had only 5 backgrounds 💜 I uploaded them as standalones because it was requested 💜 The 6 new backgrounds were added in the 1.0.1 update which I haven't made as standalones but they're only included in the full mod 😁
This looks great! I was avoiding updating because I hate the new menu so much ( and the raining indoors bug etc) but you saved the day! Choosing one would be good too, the one withe the Life&Death statue is amazing
Hi, would you be able to add household sims on the main menu?
Not in this mod, but in a similar menu that I'm working on, you will be able to see the household✨💓
Thank you! Would it be possible to add static versions? I’m a bit too consistent and would love to pick just one of the images, haha. That would be really awesome!
Sure! I could do that ♥♥
