v3.10 is a jump in version to represent another major feature update. This one has been requested quite a bit since BE's release - a conflict detector. As some of you might know, my team and myself have historically been against these types of reports as they're usually inaccurate and/or misleading. I'm only bringing this report to BE now because I've come up with solutions to ensure only conflicts that are actually detrimental are shown on the report.
As an early access player, please...

Just a quick teaser, not a confirmation that this is definitely coming, but if everything works out well BE will have a new optional conflict scan that can be ran.
If implemented, I would recommend running this when you feel like there's two mods conflicting but can't figure out what, or perhaps running it once a month just to do some clean up.
Currently the report is laid out to show the two files in a table with an expandable list of the resources responsible for the...

Certain aspects of Werewolves and Scenarios were not working properly with buildcam, so I've updated it to correct this.
If you're using BuildCam, please re-download asap to fix that issue.
If you're using Better BuildBuy, do not install this mod. It's included with BBB.
If you're not familiar, this mod adds the free-roaming camera mode to buildbuy mode, so you can just press Tab to enter it.
Usage is extremely simple - while i...

IF there is a choice, would you prefer the objects in the VFX Editor mode be:
1. A single object with a custom ui for picking the vfx.
2. Unique objects in the buildbuy catalog for each vfx type (similar to the lighting editor catalog)

Hey guys, I have some updates for you for the sake of transparency. Just a heads up on some changes and improvements to the Patreon tiers. Allow me a quick explanation and then we'll get to the details! If you're short on time, I won't fault you for skipping to the bottom this time. ๐

Hey everyone, quick poll to decide whether I should make the light editor's new design without the white background - in other words, how it appeared in this video or if I should add the white background sections back in, like how EA's light color picker is by default.
Keep in mind this is only for the background, not the placement of the UI elements inside. That's still a work in pro...

The sims team appears to have added an animation to walking where your sim will pull out their cellphone. While that's a nice modern touch, it doesn't do wonders for those doing era or historical gameplays.
This is a low profile mod that stops all sims from pulling their phone out mid-walk.
Install Instructions
1. OPEN the zip, do not use any extract options.
2. Inside will be a .package file. Drag it to your Mods folder.

This mod will replace your main menu wi...

Fixed a strange incompatibility that could arise only when TOOL, NSV, and UI Cheats were all installed together, without my AllCheats mod present. There was no technical conflict but it seems something about how the Stories Viewer widget was being added was causing UI Cheat's Needs widget to get ignored, preventing the clickable needs cheat from functioning. This is now fixed, though I unfortunately still don't understand how it was causing an issue in t...
