How to fix the constant thumbnail change?
This bug/feature was added with Apartment Life. Essentially, your Sim will change their thumbnail every time they shower, change clothes and so on. I only have like three mods installed right now, and I've been looking around for a solution in the past 45 minutes to no avail. Any suggestions? I just want them to be static like they used to be (or to change whenever the appearance is changed through the mirror).

Example:


Then he changed to his work outfit, and this happened:


Please, it's so annoying. I've been dealing with this for over a decade now. :/

A few mod variations:
- https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr....rsion-this-file
- https://simnopke.tumblr.com/post/17...static-ui-poses
- http://www.insimenator.org/index.php?topic=98001.0

I think all of them are visual only, I don't think they help with the actual problem, which is when the game starts slowing down with the rapid UI pose changes. There have been a couple variations that help with that issue, but not sure if those are available anywhere.

There's a discussion here - the one by Dizzy requires an edit to the exe file and does apparently fix the issue instead of putting a visual patch over it, but I haven't tried it or any of the links so no idea if those still work or if the mod is still available: https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=452689

The static ones either feel too repetitive or lifeless. I went searching for this Dizzy one, but I'm not familiar with that website's layout, and there's just so many replies. I came across entire threads that had no links or anything, just people talking about it. I came across some links, but they were only for AL or dead. Others are .exe without much context, so that sucks.

I use Dizzy's Thumbnail Hack that Lazy Duchess put up for the Ultimate Collection here. It works perfectly for me.
