๐ [BG] SGFX: No Glowing Dots in Social Bunny
โ๏ธ TS4: BASE GAME โ ๐ 12/1/24 ๐ NIL โ๏ธ 2/4/26
๐ Rebuilt for almost every game update [๐] whether or not it's broken [๐].
โ๏ธ These are ZIP archives. See "BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS" for more info.
๐ 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 (6th) standalone neurodiversity-friendly "SGFX Override".
This obliterates all "Glowing Dots" seen in "Social Bunny".
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.

โ// โ SPECIAL THANKS:
To the Patreon member who mention the "Glowing Dots" in "Social Bunny" and informed me about the existence of the "Social Bunny NotifDot Override Mod" [๐] by "BlackMoon Workshop" [๐]. You know who you are!
I avoid "Social Bunny" like the plague because it was a broken mess on release, causing sims to gain romance with everyone, including family members, and their dogs, so I completely forgot there were "Glowing Dots" in it.
Unfortunately, it appears that "BlackMoon Workshop" has retired. ๐ฟ
This standalone "SGFX Override" is not an "XMODTko" of "BlackMoon Workshop's" mod.
Theirs was a "Tuning" override.
Mine is a "Scale Form GFX" override.

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.
