REQUIRES THE SIMS 4: BASE GAME
DO NOT USE THIS WITH UI CHEATS EXTENSION.
THERE'S A PATCH FOR THAT - https://modthesims.info/d/689689
UPDATE 2/25/2025
This is my FOURTH standalone neurodiversity-focused SGFX Override.

There are THREE (3) standalone variants to choose from and they OVERRIDE (not OVERWRITE) each other by alphanumerical load priority (load order):
  • "NoGodraysOnQuests" removes GODRAYS.
  • "NoEventButton" removes GODRAYS and the Live Event Button.
  • "NoEventButtonBackground" removes GODRAYS and the fugly Live Event Button background, leaving just the little event icon.

COMPATIBILITY WARNING FOR THIRD-PARTY SCALE FORM GFX MODS:
This is incompatible with anything that modifies the following Scale Form GFX resource(s):
  • SituationDisplay

MY STANDALONE SGFX OVERRIDES AND PATCHES ALWAYS WORK:
If you download one and it ain't workin', it means you have a conflicting mod, or maybe you're using the wrong patch for the version of the mod you've got. If you've got a mod I haven't patched, you are welcomed to request a patch in the comments here or on Patreon - the Patreon post for this project is linked on the Download tab.

MY STANDALONE SGFX OVERRIDES ARE UPDATED FREQUENTLY:
In fact, they are updated every time the game updates, whether or not they're throwing errors. "Scale Form GFX" resources are modified by EAxis almost every time the game is updated. I do not fully understand SGFX resources, so I am not comfortable with my SGFX Overrides not being 100% compatible with whatever the current version of the game is. This isn't a flex at other SGFX mod creators, it's a me thing.

I AM ON A MISSION TO DESTROY ALL GODRAYS AND GLOWING DOTS:
Each standalone SGFX Override affects one or two or a few areas of our UI. I will likely never merge these standalone overrides together or do an "All-in-One" release due to third-party conflict concerns. To remove all GODRAYS and GLOWING DOTS, you need to mix and match patches and/or standalone overrides.


THERE ARE MORE OF THESE, AS SEEN IN THE LIST ABOVE:
In fact, I have removed most GODRAYS and GLOWING DOTS from Live Mode and CAS. There are likely a few hiding in dark corners, but I will find them eventually. This one is posted out of order because I finally figured out how to get rid of the Live Mode Button.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE CAUSED:
... by initially releasing the SGFX Patch for UI Cheats Extension in this standalone SGFX Override post. I wasn't thinking. I can't release SGFX Patches like that because some of them incorporate modifications from more than one standalone override.
