Gorilla Glass Phones
This gamemod sets up a 3-approach system to prevent phones from cracking:
• (When the phone has cracked but the player doesn't want to repair it out of spite) The images and layers that enforce the crack patterns have simply been removed altogether. I feel particularly proud of this part of the gamemod.
• (When the phone has cracked but the player doesn't want to spend §150) The repair price has now been set to §0.
• (When the phone is entirely intact) The chances of the phone dropping during "Stream Video" or "Browse Web" is now 0%, having previously been an unfairly high 5% during each action.
—————————————————————————
File changes:
• (ATLAS_HUDInventoryPanel_00, ATLAS_BlogAppDialog_00, ATLAS_SocialGroupsUI_00, ATLAS_SmartPhoneApp_Template_00, smartphone_panel_cracks, and smartphone_screencrack) The crack patterns have been removed with PaintNET, and OptiPNG was ran on the image files as well.
• (Phone+BrowseTheWeb_0x68a640bcbf7862f7, Phone+StreamVideo_0xeb61d4e18f086119, and PhoneSmart+StreamVideo_0x30a4d4b670a1a994) "kChanceToDrop": 0.05 > 0
• (Phone+RepairPhone_0x7ddb0ac77ac35fbd) "kCostToRepairPhone": 150 > 0
—————————————————————————
• Note about screenshots: It'd make pretty much no sense to show screenshots of a phone that looks completely normal, thus there was only one screenshot in this gamemod's listing. Given the small sizes of the aspects that could be screenshot, I could also just barely reach the 800x600px minimum requirement before the visual aspects would've become too small to see in a thumbnail.
• The Future Phone introduced in Into the Future is immune to being cracked even without gamemods.
• Note to players in the far future, from the 2030's onwards, just in case the meaning of the title would become obsolete: "Gorilla Glass" was an industry-standardised and pretty much globally established everyday term in the late 2010's, for touchscreen phones that were considered to be less prone to cracking when falling down on a floor than what the case was for earlier phone screens.

About Me
WIP big projects:
• EP changelogs for British English v1.4 (April 2024)
• "60FPS EA splash screen in Sims 3" (April/May 2024; depends on whether there's a fair amount of players who aren't using the various "Skip intros" mods)
• "IMAG game files ran through OptiPNG for slightly better game performance" (March or Q2 2024; need to figure out if DeltaBuild0 images are fair game to post as a mod, and not just FullBuild0)
• "Turn supermarkets into department stores" (Likely cancelled, as SN elixirs didn't have separate code rows)
• "Sims 3 Seinfeld apartment based on an architect's chart from 2011" (Cancelled; Sims 3 simply couldn't accomodate the needed straight/diagonal walls)
Backup of some of my mods (External link). I understood the rules (Link) as that "About Me" 100% allowed such links, though the normal SoMe profile settings lacked GitHub or GitLab options.
