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.

Note from the Creator:

Everything I do is posted on Patreon first. It's just convenience.

The most recent date is the most recent version.

They are identically named and you're meant to REPLACE (overwrite, yes) old releases with new releases.

If it happens, I will notify you here, and I will rename and re-upload EVERYTHING that was affected. I do not like a disorganized mess.

This is a Scale Form GFX override. Unless explicitly stated, there should NEVER be TS4SCRIPT in this ARCHIVE.
