๐ SGFX Patch: Better BuildBuy v4.5
โ๏ธ BETTER BUILDBUY v4.5 โ๐ 11/24/24 โ๐ NIL โโ๏ธ 6/10/26
๐ธ Patches are version-specific. Do Not "mix and match" patch and mod.
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.
๐๏ธ Put them together, they're a work of art! -- Y'know, I make a point of being polite. I always try to be polite except when I don't believe being polite is the warranted response. "Please bear with me." and "Have some patience." can mean the same thing in context, but one comes with the connotation that you're being an impatient arse, and I see no reason to indirectly imply that anyone is ever being an impatient arse, unless you were being an impatient arse, in which case I'd probably let you know, directly. See the difference there? Just saying.
โ// โ TOTES "SIMPLE" PATCH DESCRIPTION:
This patch removes GODRAYS and GLOWING DOTS from the top right corner of the Live Mode UI while using "Better BuildBuy".
Place this patch next to "Better BuildBuy" in your Mods folder.
If you do not use "Better BuildBuy", then download my "SGFX Overrides" instead.
P.S. "SGFX Patches" are only updated when the third-party mods are updated.

โ// โ OLDER PATCHES EXIST IN THE GRAVEYARD:
๐ชฆ GDrive Folder -- https://../drive/Graveyard_SGFXPatches
You're welcomed to request a patch for an older version of the game if it isn't already available. I'm not here to police your game version when EAxis is literally "bugging" down the game with every official update.
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".
If using this "SGFX Patch" with any of the other "SGFX Patches", be sure to remove the incompatible standalone "SGFX Overrides" for those "SGFX Patches".
I know this is a little complicated, but merging these overrides is a recipe for disaster.

โ// โ COMPATIBILITY NOTES FOR THIRD-PARTY MODS:
This modifies the following "Scale Form GFX" resources:
GameTray -- Defines UI elements in the top right of the Live Mode UI.
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// โ BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
The following options must be enabled for this mod to work properly:
โ ๏ธ GAME OPTIONS ยป OTHER ยป "Enable Custom Content and Mods"

These are ZIP archives. They can be opened or extracted with:
Windows Explorer on Windows -- https://../windows/zip-and-unzip-files

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

โ
"SGFX Patch" ZIP archives do not contain a "#Sej" folder.
These ZIP archives are tailored to match the ZIP archive of the third-party mod the patch was made for. In other words, if the third-party ZIP archive has folders, then the "SGFX Patch" ZIP archive will have the same folders.
1๏ธโฃ EXIT the game.
2๏ธโฃ DOWNLOAD the ZIP archive.
3๏ธโฃ OPEN or EXTRACT the ZIP archive.
4๏ธโฃ DRAG 'N DROP or MOVE the "#Sej" folder into the following folder:
Documents ยป Electronic Arts ยป The Sims 4 ยป "Mods"
5๏ธโฃ Choose "Replace the file in the destination" if prompted to "Replace or Skip Files":
6๏ธโฃ LAUNCH the game.

โ// โ ZIP CONTAINS (0) TS4SCRIPT + (1x6) PACKAGE:
This is a simple Scale Form GFX override.
The mod this patch is made for contains TS4SCRIPT, but this archive should never contain TS4SCRIPT files, BATCH files, or EXE files, etc.
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.

ok, here goes nothing, i just found you today and i am trying to make heads or tails of your offerings .. the lengthy titles of each mod, plus the long but humorous description boxes make for a very confuddling initiation into your community. i have been trying to go through everything you have one by one to get to know the content you offer, however, it's proving to be quite the challenge. honestly, it's probably my brain, unable to understand basic shit..lol. i saw this mod and i was like hmmmm, they create bug fixes for other peoples mods?! so cool! i thought to myself..and then it hit me like a car crashing into a building..and i am typing it here because i've done some testing and i believe (don't quote me on this) one of tmex's mods that's causing the issue, and the issue is in CAS - when you click the "apply everything" box, it is visually just fucked .. and it's been that way since the feature came in an update. honestly, just wish he would address the issue. but then i'm like, maybe it's not fixed because it's not his mod doing it. but then i am at a loss..i only have a few mods that do anything in cas and i took them out one by one to see what's causing the issue..and it's either tool or bbb causing it. instead of there being normal checkboxes in the menu, it literally looks like there are 2 boxes split in half for each option (everyday, formal, sleep, etc) ..you would think it was weebersu's mods that cause the issue but the boxes go back to single boxes when tmex's mods are taken out of the game. are you following me here? i barely am following me - here's a link for an image of the issue (https://imgur.com/a/kcFktz8) the only reason an actual check mark is showing along with the full box is because i had my mouse hovering over "athletic"...just tell me fuck off if i am off base here and/or reaching out to the wrong person - either way, so happy i found your content
Hi! So sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been M.I.A. to varying degrees for a while. Gimme a hot minute to read through your comment and respond.
now if you could only update better build buy entirely < / 3 all mods should belong to you from here on out imo
๐น From what I read, it's supposed to be compatible with the current game version, but I understand the sentiment.
Goodest of mornings, my dear Sej! I came back to re-read this post, because I have been wondering what happened to my options button. It turns out that I completely missed this warning: "โ ๏ธ The v4.0 "Options Menu" icon is incorrect because BBB hasn't been rebuilt for Update 8/19/2025 and Update 8/19/2025 altered a number of "Scale Form GFX" resources..." I have re-learned an important lesson today: Reading is FUN-damental. ๐๐พ
I'm - I hate trash internet - I'm only just seeing this comment. I... didn't pay attention to whether or not TMEX fixed it in 4.2. ๐น
Sej, I've finally reached the end of my rope with this darn game. Your SGFX Patches may just be my savior. Hoping this plus thepancake1-MoreTraitsInADDON_Neurodiversity and UI_Cheats_ADDON_Neurodiversity will help me play this game without wanting to rip my eyes out. Thank you for sharing!
