🎁 [BG] SGFX: Event Button Variants for "No Godrays on Quests, etc." -- ⿻ (2) variants available!

⚔️ TS4: BASE GAME ⋆ 🚀 2/10/25 🌠 6/29/25 ☄️ 2/4/26
🔄 Rebuilt for almost every game update [🌐] whether or not it's broken [🌐].

⚠️ DO NOT use this with "UI Cheats Extension". There's an "SGFX Patch" for that.

⚙️ These are ZIP archives. See "BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS" for more info.

🆘 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.

☆// ⋆ TOTES "SIMPLE" SGFX DESCRIPTION:

This post contains the (2) "Event Button" variants for "No Godrays on Quests, etc.".

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

1. NoGodraysOnQuestsEA✔️

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

2. NoEventButtonBackground✔️

   • 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. NoEventButton✔️

   • 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. 😸

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.

☆// ⋆ 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:

• 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.

☆// ⋆ SPECIAL THANKS:

To the Mod The Sims denizens who inquired about this and gave me the nudge to revisit it.

I've been refining the way I remove GODRAYS and GLOWING DOTS since the inception of these overrides and polishing these two variants refined my method a little more. Cheers!

☆// ⋆ 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.

⚡ 6/29/2025 #3 -- "NO EVENT BUTTON" CONFIRMATION!

I confirmed that the "Event Quest Button" disappears after completing the available quests!

Also, we can access the "Event UI" from the "REWARD UNLOCKED" notification in our "Notification Wall" after completing enough quests to unlock a new reward, which means I don't need to fuss over the '?' info button! Huzzah!

⚡ 6/29/2025 #2 -- I NEED TO FIND...

The coding for the question mark "?" info button on the "Event Quest" popup. I've wanted to change the that "?" button to open the "Event UI" for some time now. I thought I found it earlier, but whatever I found, wasn't it.

The "Event Quest Button" should disappear completely after completing the quests.

I wonder if I can re-code the whole "Event Button" area to disappear after available quests are completed, and reappear when a new quest is available. The functionality is already there, because that's what the "Event Quest Button" does. Why EAxis didn't code the whole area to disappear and reappear is... the same reason they shove new Pie Menu Interactions in our faces instead of giving them proper "priority".

⚡ 6/29/2025 #1 -- THESE VARIANTS ARE A-CHANGING!

Both variants will continue to exist, but I'm changing what "NoEventButtonBackground" does.

Also, I'm wondering if to remove the "Event Quest Button" along with the"Event Button".
