☆// ⋆ TOTES "SIMPLE" SGFX DESCRIPTION:

This is my (1st) standalone neurodiversity-friendly "SGFX Override".

• The "Pin Button" now "Dismisses" on Left-Click and "Pins" on Right-Click.

• Removes the unnecessary "Mouse-Over" effect on Wants.

• If used with "UI Cheats Extension", this will disable that mod's "Right-Click Popup Actions" on Wants. The rest of "UI Cheats Extension" works as intended.

☆// ⋆ COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SGFX PROJECTS:

I mean to destroy all annoying UI effects.

To that end, I have created a collection of standalone "SGFX Overrides" and "SGFX Patches". To remove all annoying UI effects from your game, you must mix and match my standalone "SGFX Overrides" and my "SGFX Patches".

I know this is a little complicated, but merging these overrides is a recipe for disaster.

☆// ⋆ COMPATIBILITY NOTES FOR THIRD-PARTY MODS:

This modifies the following "Scale Form GFX" resources:

• SimHub -- Defines some UI elements in the bottom left corner of Live Mode, including Wants, active Buffs, SimBust, etc.

I have no idea what third-party mod this might conflict with. Let me know if you find one!

☆// ⋆ THE FLUFF IS NIGH:

I currently lack the skill required to fully realize my dream of resurrecting the "Dismiss" button alongside the "Pin" button, so like a true villai- uh... ROCKET SCIENTIST, I've retrofitted the pointless "Pin" button for ULTIMATE POWAH!

You can now "Dismiss" Wants via Left-Click and "Pin" them via Right-Click!

I also removed the pointless "Mouse-Over" effect.

Compatibility with "UI Cheats Extension" is achieved by sabotaging "UI Cheats Extension's" Right-Click function on Wants, allowing my Right-Click function can take over the world! The rest of "UI Cheats Extension" works as intended in order to maintain the charade.

<CACKLES MANIACALLY> THEY WILL ALL BE MINE, IN THE END!

Just so we're clear, weerbesu, the selfsame creator of UwU Cheetahs, told me how to sabotage their mod. I'm just having a bit of fun making it weird.

☆// ⋆ "SOLIDIFYING [X] AS A FORM OF PROTEST":

This concerns Electronic Arts' obnoxious obsession with "ALWAYS (PIRACY) ONLINE", much to the detriment of their legitimate customers who are sometimes forced to piracy in order to play their legitimately owned games.

I've had to resort to piracy on multiple occasions because I'm on !@#$ internet and EA App lacks a proper functioning Offline Mode. Not because I want to, but because Electronic Arts refuses to make a proper !@#$ing app!

SPORE didn't become the most pirated game of it's time because no one wanted to buy it. It was because Electronic Arts snuck in obnoxiously restrictive DRM and told no one, which resulted in not ONE (1), but TWO (2) class action lawsuits against the company.

Electronic Arts has a documented history of !@#$ing up intentionally, lying about it, and then hand-waving it away while gushing about how great their "loyal fanbase" is.

Would you like to know more? [🌐]

☆// ⋆ PROGRESSION - THIS IS NOT A CHANGE-LOG:

☄️ 7/2/2025 -- FILENAMES HAVE CHANGED!

Please remember to manually delete the older "SGFXOvrd" releases of this mod.

⚡ 9/26/2024 #3 -- FUTURE PLANS...

I'd love to convert the Reactionary Want Bubble into a regular Want Bubble and enable Dismiss/Pin on it but that's a next week type thing. I still have outstanding mods and updates to publish and older mods to update.

Dismiss/Pin is currently in a state I didn't expect it to be in so soon after Initial Release. Apart from compatibility updates, I can ignore it for a while. Cheers!

🌠 9/26/2024 #2 -- SAY HELLO TO THE UI CHEATS COMPATIBILITY UPDATE!

The changes to DISMISS/PIN disables UI Cheats' RClick Want Popup so it won't interfere with my RClick Pin while the rest of UI Cheats is unaffected and functions as intended. 😺

🌸 9/26/2024 #1 -- I HAD A TÊTE-À-TÊTE WITH WEERBESU! <SQUEALS EXCITEDLY>

After the "One Button Two Commands Update" I went whining to weerbesu that we weren't compatible and they gave me compatibility!

⚡ 9/25/2024 -- UI CHEATS IS CRAMPING MY STYLE! <GRUMBLES IRRITABLY>

UI Cheats' RClick Want DISMISS/COMPLETE feature uses all the real estate.

I could potentially change my Pin function to use MClick instead of RClick so it doesn't conflict with UI Cheats but does everyone have a mouse with an MClick button? I assume not.

UI Cheats has a lot of features I don't really use, which is why I don't keep it in my game. The one feature I wanted from it was the Want Dismiss but it's implemented as an RClick popup that gives you the option to DISMISS or COMPLETE the Want AKA it's TOO MUCH CLICKING for my liking. This is the same reason I don't use Refresh Wants and Fears; TS4 is as point-and-click as point-and-click gets, I don't want extra monotonous pointing or clicking.

I could potentially make a patch that disables UI Cheats' RClick Want feature but I think it requires me learning TS4SCRIPT PYTHON modding and I'm not ready to commit to that yet.

I could also release an alternate version of this that restores Pin to LClick and tosses Dismiss on RClick but then you still won't be able to one-click Dismiss. (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻
