๐ŸŽ [BG] SGFX: No Godrays on Quests, etc. -- โฟป (3) variants available!

โš”๏ธ TS4: BASE GAME โ‹† ๐Ÿš€ 11/10/24 ๐ŸŒ  NIL โ˜„๏ธ 2/4/26
๐Ÿ”„ Rebuilt for almost every game update [๐ŸŒ] whether or not it's broken [๐ŸŒ].

โš ๏ธ DO NOT use this with "UI Cheats Extension". There's an "SGFX Patch" for that.

โš™๏ธ These are ZIP archives. See "BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS" for more info.

๐Ÿ†˜ You can request assistance or inform me of issues in a new comment on this post, in a new post in the Troubleshooting Community Chat, or via DM (Discord). I don't bite, unless biting is the necessary response.

โ˜†// โ‹† TOTES "SIMPLE" SGFX DESCRIPTION:

This is my (4th) standalone neurodiversity-friendly "SGFX Override".

There are (3) variants to choose from, but only (1) is available from this post.

These variants have unique filenames, so you can "install" all of them, however "NoEventButton" has "load priority" and will override all others:

  1. NoGodraysOnQuestsEAโœ”๏ธ

    • Removes "Godrays" from the top left corner of the Live Mode UI.

  2. NoEventButtonBackgroundโœ”๏ธ

    • Removes "Godrays" from the top left corner of the Live Mode UI.

    • Changes the color of the "Button Background" to match the other buttons in the area.

    • EAxis revamped this area in Update 5/27/2025. Removing the "Button Background" no longer looks good, so I changed the color instead.

  3. NoEventButtonโœ”๏ธ

    • Removes "Godrays" from the top left corner of the Live Mode UI.

    • Changes the color of the "Button Background" to match the other buttons in the area.

    • Removes the "Event Button", but retains the "Event Quest Button".

    • The "Event Quest Button" will disappear if you complete the available quest.

If in doubt, download "NoEventButtonBackground". It's the one I use. ๐Ÿ˜ธ

You can access the "Event UI" via the "Go to Event UI" button in the "REWARD UNLOCKED" notification in the "Notification Wall" after completing enough quests and earning enough "Event Points" to claim a reward. You get a "REWARD UNLOCKED" notification every time you earn enough points to claim a reward.

P.S. "SGFX Overrides" are usually updated every time the game updates.

โ˜†// โ‹† 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.

THESE SGFX PROJECTS ARE COMPATIBLE:

โ˜†// โ‹† COMPATIBILITY NOTES FOR THIRD-PARTY MODS:

This modifies the following "Scale Form GFX" resources:

  • SituationDisplay -- Defines UI elements in the top left corner of Live Mode.

This conflicts with the following third-party mods:

  • UI Cheats Extension -- There's an "SGFX Patch" for this.

A standalone "SGFX Override" cannot be used as a patch because it is a modification of the original EAxis resource and lacks the modifications from the third-party mod.

An "SGFX Patch" cannot be used as a standalone override because it is dependent on the modifications in the third-party mod it was created for.

โ˜„๏ธ 7/2/2025 -- FILENAMES HAVE CHANGED!

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

๐Ÿ’€ 2/10/2025 -- NOW I AM BECOME DEATH! THE DESTROYER OF BUTTONS!

The topic of the Live Event Button arose again, this time over on Mod The Sims, so I took another look, and lo and behold, I ATE THEM GIBLETS, BABY! BAHAHAHA!

Achieving this also helped refine my method for destroying UI effects!

The following options must be enabled for this mod to work properly:

  • โœ…๏ธ GAME OPTIONS ยป OTHER ยป "Enable Custom Content and Mods"

โ€”

These are ZIP archives. They can be opened or extracted with:

I personally use 7-Zip for all of my zipping needs. It's free and it's open-source:

โ€”

This ZIP archive contains a "#Sej" folder and sub-folder for better mod organization.

  • 1๏ธโƒฃ EXIT the game.

  • 2๏ธโƒฃ DOWNLOAD the ZIP archive.

  • 3๏ธโƒฃ OPEN or EXTRACT the ZIP archive.

  • 4๏ธโƒฃ DRAG 'N DROP or MOVE the "#Sej" folder into the following folder:

    • Documents ยป Electronic Arts ยป The Sims 4 ยป "Mods"

  • 5๏ธโƒฃ Choose "Replace the file in the destination" if prompted to "Replace or Skip Files":

  • 6๏ธโƒฃ LAUNCH the game.

โ˜†// โ‹† PROJECT MIRRORS:

โ˜†// โ‹† ZIP CONTAINS (0) TS4SCRIPT + (1) PACKAGE:

This is a simple "Scale Form GFX" override.

This should NEVER contain TS4SCRIPT files, BATCH files, EXE files, or anything other than PACKAGE files, my "#Sej" folder, and a sub-folder.

This section exists as a reminder that we are in someone's crosshairs.

Rogue TS4SCRIPT files, BATCH files, EXE files, etc., encountered where they don't belong could contain malicious PYTHON script or other !@#$ that will attempt to infect your device and steal your personal information when executed by you or the game. Malware can ruin lives. Don't !@#$ around.

That is AMAZING! I hate all these rays, glowing dots and extra buttons. I hope you will mantain all of the variants. Thank you!
