REQUIRES THE SIMS 4: BASE GAME

This is my EIGHT standalone neurodiversity-friendly SGFX Override.

This override changes the color of the CAS Transition Screen from that awful blinding white abomination to a scenic and picturesque pure black void - a pure black void that now envelops the Loading Screen and the Lot Construction Screen. Cheers!

Your eyes will thank me. You're welcome.

P.S. This pairs well with my String Overrides that remove the text from the Loading Screen and the Lot Construction Screen, but those aren't available here yet.

CONFLICTS OUT THE WAZOO:

This will conflict with any third-party mod that changes the Loading Screen Background or replaces the Plumbob animation.

Plumbob recolors are fine because they are "external" Resource Overrides.

THESE MODS ARE UPDATED FREQUENTLY:

In fact, my standalone SGFX Overrides are updated with every game update.

If the game updates and within a day or two these mods aren't updated here, it means the internet is worse than usual and I either haven't been able to upload the update at all or I haven't been able to upload the update here. This isn't a gimmick to get you onto my Patreon, but it's there as an option if the delay becomes unbearable. Everyone there already knows about the horrible internet.

I MEAN TO DESTROY ALL ANNOYING UI EFFECTS:

Each standalone SGFX Override affects one or two or a few areas of our UI.

To remove all GODRAYS and GLOWING DOTS, you need to mix and match my standalone SGFX Overrides and/or my SGFX Patches.

I shortened the names of third-party mods in the list below:

"BBB" is Better BuildBuy, "MTiC" is More Traits in CAS, and "UIC" is UI Cheats Extension.

No Glowing Dots in Social Bunny ✔️ COMPATIBLE
