Description
What does this mod do?
The new generation of Sims 4 Pie Menu! Liven up those boring original pie menus with bright new colors and organization! Now version without its own script, but with support for the Lot51 Core Library.
This mod creates a better overview in the pie menu structure for some objects in the game, e.g. sim, computer, TV, stereo, fridge, stove, mirror etc... The main goal is to make the search faster with suitable icons. In addition, the priority of unimportant folders has been decreased and the priority of the important folder has been increased instead. A few new overcategories were also created and the sub-folders reorganized.
This mod only overwrites the so-called Pie Menu Category Tuning of some menu categories. Not a single interaction tuning was overwritten! The restructuring is done via a script, so you need to allow scripting in your game settings. Conflicts can only arise with the same mods that also modify the category tuning of the pie menu or also arrange interactions differently through scripts.
In the archive you will find several modules:
- Better Pie Menu: Computer
- Better Pie Menu: Stereo
- Better Pie Menu: TV
- Better Pie Menu: Cooking Menus
- Better Pie Menu: Mobile Phone
- Better Pie Menu: Cheat & Debug Menus
- Better Pie Menu: More Pie Menus
If you don't want something, you can delete the corresponding module.
Problems with BPM
Problem: Since I got the mod, I can't do anything with the computer (or on other objects) anymore. The menu has disappeared. If I click on the object, then everything hangs and then nothing happens.
Answer: The problem can occur when my mod conflicts with another one. This can only be the mods that change the EA Pie menus. Let me know which mod it conflicts with (or at least which objects the menu disappears on) and I'll try to find and resolve the conflict! The conflicts are unpredictable, but many are fixable!
Compatibility
There shouldn't be any compatibility problems because the mod doesn't overwrite anything. In the previous version, some game resources were overwritten. In this version there are no more overrides!
The following mods have been tested with BPM and have no compatibility issues:
- Smarter Pie Menu by TwistedMexi
The following mods are completely incompatible with BPM:
- Less Main Pie Clutter by Lumpinou
- Massage Socials Fix by Vicky Sims
The following mods are problematic:
- Conversation Tweaks by Bienchen
This mod overrides dozens of game interactions. At the very least, some things may no longer look the way BPM intended. I do not guarantee compatibility here. - Move, Sort & Hide Interactions
The author has neglected his mod and no longer updates it. As a result, there are a number of pie menus that no longer make sense or are broken after the social menu patch. You can still use this mod together with BPM, but you should enter the cheat to disable the mod's default sorting: "cLineLy.enable_default_sortings False". This will disable any new categories introduced in the mod.
The following mods don't have any compatibility issues with BPM (at least not yet), but may cause the menus to look slightly different than intended:
- Ask Category & Menu Cleanup by Kuttoe (on social interactions);
- Better Meal Time Menu by LittleMsSam (on the kitchen appliances);
- Carl's Sims 4 Gameplay Overhaul by Carl (cheat motive, give gift, social interactions);
- Complete Cooking Overhaul by Srslysims (on the kitchen appliances);
- Meaningful Stories by roBurky (on computers and refrigerator);
- Plumfruit by Arnie (on computers and tablets);
- Realistic Cooking Mod by Somik and Severinka (on fridge).
These minor conflicts do not cause game crashes, freezes, or LE errors. The result of these conflicts is that some menu optimizations may be messed up. You will then see an unpredictable salad of what my mod and what the mentioned mods should do. However, larger conflicts are possible in the future if the authors change something so much in the updates that a conflict arises. If the interactions disappear or LE errors are reported, it could be a conflict. Than let me know.
Required Terms
The Lot51 Core Library is required for full functionality (separate download).
