Since custom visual effects (VFX) requires editing a single file in order to work in-game and only one can be installed at a time, I've put together a community resource to avoid conflicts.
Mod Users:
This is just a mod resource, similar to XML Injector or Venue lists, so download and install like normal for the mods that may require it. It is recommended you place it directly in your main mods folder (or the Overrides folder if using one) in case of conflicts. Creators will let you know if this mod is required in the mod description or mark it as required on CurseForge.
Conflicts:
If you have these installed you will need to remove them, especially as almost all of these are horribly outdated.
- Sims3Effect
- necrodog_sp46_pizzaoven_cook_flame_merged
- ServoScaredNoTears
- channel4sims - harry potter - weasley's fireplace portal set
- channel4sims - harry potter - weasley's fireplace portal set base game
If you use Andrew's VFX Player and would like to play some of the VFX, check the "CustomVFXList" text file. Note that for the majority of VFX you must have the related mod installed to see the VFX play, though most converted TS3/TSM files are included.
Modders:
If you are wanting to make and use custom VFX in a mod and to avoid conflicts, please send me the files on any platform (recommended) or see the GitHub for submission instructions so that it can be included in the resource. If you need help with your mod or VFX, or CC or poses/animations, join the Creator Musings Discord server. It's an active creator community for all levels with help channels, resources, and tutorials.
