Version 3.1 Changes

- fixed issue with some icons being too big to fit in the wish panel (again cause I discovered new ones)
Version 3.0 Changes
- fixed issue with some icons being too big to fit in the wish panel (here's here's picture of the issue that's now fixed)
- upscaled lifetime wishes
- scaled down trait icons that show up when you praise/scold pet so they fit the UI panel
- enhanced trait icons that show up when you scold/praise a pet
Version 2.2 Changes
- enhanced another 691 moodlets from EPs which weren't previously covered by this mod (the total number of enhanced images is over 2000 now)
- small fixes and removal of unnecessary files
- added "No Moodlets" version for people who want to use "High Quality Headline Effects" with other mod that also replaces moodlets
- enhanced favorites icons on the UI panel (from 24x24 to 54x54)
- enhanced favorites icons from stuff packs and expansion packs that weren't previously enhanced
- replaced all previously enhanced icons with higher quality ones (256x256 downscaled to 128x128, the originals were 64x64 or 30x30)
- increased number of remastered icons from 800+ to 1200+ (now all thought bubble icons should have remastered icons, if you encounter some that look low res contact me via comments)
- sidenote - favorite things like food, color, music icons weren't significantly enhanced because they wouldn't fit in the CAS window otherwise but there's still slight improvement over the originals
This mod enhances
- speech and thought bubbles icons
- relationship gain/lose
- memory icon
- musical notes coming from radios, guitar, piano...
- sleep effect - ZZZs (sim), VVVs (vampires), 0101s (simbots)
- favorites (music, food, color) on the UI panel
- trait icons that show up when you scold/praise a pet

It affects speech/thought bubbles from all expansion packs (but you don't need all expansion packs for this mod to work)
