Mystify – Resurrections
Resurrections – Recently some UGC creators decided to quit modding forever. Creators who have mods which are not online might be in a worse position.
Mystify is a small mod which allows adding temporary transparency to sims and objects. The modifications are not persisted in a save game.
– Everything between 30 and 100 % is quite safe to apply.
– With 0 to 20 % opacity sims and objects are hard to see for the player and one can’t click on them.
– Sims will still interact with invisible sims and objects.
The normal menu allows to set the opacity to 40, 60, 80 and 100 % (Show).
The ‘more’ menu adds 30, 50, 70 and 70 %.
The ‘risky’ menu supports (Hide) 0, 10 and 20 %.
The ‘reset’ menu allows to reset all sims and/or objects.
To reset the currently played sim select a random sim or object and select Mystify > Reset > Self.
Future
A ‘TheVoid/Nothingness’ class is planned. It should be triggered by transparent objects and make one object after the other within the zone invisible.
Addendum
Game compatibility
This mod has been tested with The Sims 4 1.103.315 (2023-12), TS4-Tools 3.0 (2023-12), TS4Lib 0.1.8 (2023-09).
It is expected to be compatible with many upcoming releases of TS4, TS4-Tools and TS4Lib.
Installation
– Locate the localized The Sims 4 folder which contains the Mods folder.
– Extract the zip file into this The Sims 4 folder.
– It will create the directories/files Mods/_o19_/$mod_name.ts4script`, [i]Mods/_o19_/$mod_name.package`, [i]mod_data/$mod_name/* and/or mod_documentation/$mod_name/*
– mod_logs/$mod_name.txt will be created as soon as data is logged.
Manual Installation
If you don’t want to extract the zip file into The Sims 4 folder you might want to read this.
– The files in ZIP-File/mod_data are usually required and should be extracted to The Sims 4/mod_data.
– The files in ZIP-File/mod_documentation are for you to read it. They are not needed to use this mod.
– The Mods/_o19_/*.ts4script files can be stored in a random folder within Mods or directly in Mods. I highly recommend to store it in _o19_ so you know who created it.
Usage Tracking / Privacy
This mod does not send any data to tracking servers. The code is open source, not obfuscated, and can be reviewed.
Some log entries in the log file (‘mod_logs’ folder) may contain the local username, especially if files are not found (WARN, ERROR).
