Default Main Menu - with No Ads & Overlay Glitch Fix

this works on its own! and iirc you actually CAN'T use it with the main menu overrides, cuz they contain this or something along those lines

Sloane Kay

I just had to restart my game 3 times. I play on a laptop so load time to main is 30 min...I'm tired grandpa

Mistress Tia

do i have to download your main menu overides for this to work ?

Tiffany Hampton

is it functioning now? i remember it wasn't for a bit

Sloane Kay

I think the mod needs an update cause it stopped working for me :(

Sarah Rutkowska

I just found this searching for this stupid problem because it happens to me every. single. time. Thank you so much for this!!

len

Make sure you have the latest version, I thought I was up to date but came across this same issue and turns out my version was outdated and it's working perfectly now!

Fred

Hi! This mod is causing an error in my game - the entire main menu is black. I've tested it with it being the only mod in my game, and it's still doing it. I know it says it's compatible with the latest patch, but is there something I can do to make it work? Thanks so much! This mod was an absolute lifesaver for me, so I'd like to keep it in my game!

Rose Breckenridge

Thank you! I couldn't open my game because of those adds, when I click on x the game freezes. Thanks for updating all your mods! You're my lifesaver!

LuciaSims

Thank you for putting in the work you do to make this game playable

Val S

This is a lifesaver

Miroska

No, as the issue is related to the full screen popups

SimMattically

Is there just a version with the blue overlay glitch fix?

do you have the color sliders mod by thepancake1/mizoreyukii, and is it updated? before the most recent update of the mod but after the recent Sims 4 patch, a lot of people were reporting black screens in main menu!

isa s

I'm sorry but for some reason all of your main menu mod changers are making me have a black screen when I start my game is it because of the new update?

Alicia Thomas

Thank you very much, I can update my main menu mods and still see my custom backgrounds.

Tutoss Sasuke

Reporting here that with the new update on 8/19 this breaks my game an a UI exception, actually the main menu is an unplayable glitched out black screen, haha. Hoping for a fix soon!

Mariella Saunders

You are a GOD SEND!! I haven't been able to get into my game in weeks.

Melody Barber

I can't believe it took me this long to look for a mod like this. THANK YOU

Little_Emo_Mouse

omg after trying to get into my game for over an hour i found this mod and finally im able to play. I stopped playing sims for a while because it just became unplayable it seems like its even worse now i dont even know how that's possible i miss origin. Thanks so much for your mod greatly appreciated

SariaGaming

Thank you

Highlightcw

Thanks I was kind of getting tired of having to restart every time.

Linda Deuville

Thank you very much for the update. ♥

Kim

Iori-Bello

THANK U!!!!!!

imabollo

lifesaver omg, im just trying to play the sims but i keep getting that glitch where u cant do anything after closing the natures calling popup. ive opened my game about 14 times this morning, and this is the only thing that fixed this busted ass game. THANK YOU 🙏

glass jar

This is SO needed! The blue overlay is obnoxious - good riddance. Thank you!

Sim Siili

THIS. I need it to badly work with other main menus since i love em so much...

cozy cat

I’ve been looking for something like this, but it sucks that it’s not compatible with other main menu overrides. Is it possible for the “fix” to be a standalone mod l?

Lady Applejacks

Hello, I was trying this since the last update and it crashed the tasks manager in game (where are the event tasks).

Iori-Bello

THANK YOU THANK YOU

Iori-Bello

Love this mod so much because I always had that stupid issue with the ads popping up right when game opened and then once i exited out id get that stupid overlay glitch and would have to completely exit by doing the task manager thing...so this is so awesome to have!

hot taquitos

it does work...how do you have it installed? Works perfectly as it should

hot taquitos

mod doesn't work

Małgorzata Napiórkowski

Thank you Matt! I called those suckers out for this crap! I appreciate you! xoxo

Simday1

While this mod is a life saver, it would be cool if you could add the option to hide the news the side and get rid of the store red dot marker. Essentially everything you have done with the Refreshed Main Menu mod but just don't change the background or the family at all. ya know? Either way Love your work! you are amazing!

Damien Trust

Thank you so much for this, I REALLY needed it! I have a lot of mods, and it takes ... a while ... for my game to load. It was really disappointing when I was excited to play after work, I'd get the game open, and there was an ad, I'd close it and the blue overlay was there and I had to close my game to get rid of it and I wouldn't be able to play that evening. So, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this!

redbluestar2308

Deng this covers a lot of things that subconsciously bug the ever-loving poop out of me lol

Dace Cross

Hello! Does this work with custom home screens?

xodhya

Any chance you could please make this mod works also if in the game appears that blue screen too?

Blair Grimaldi

Could you please confirm for me if it says ‘Modified by SimMattically’ in the bottom left corner, next to the game’s version in the main menu?

SimMattically

U are amazing 😭

passiberri

I hate to say it but I downloaded this mod, it worked for a day and now it is not working at all

Happy Llama

Is this glitch caused by EA? thank you so much. I was losing my mind.

Miley

Your mod has removed the glitch which was preventing the start process to load a save game. Thanks for this helpful tool. :-D

Michael Hoffmann

Dude! You did a Society Great Favor! Thank you!

Viktor Volk Enterprise

How does this work? I downloaded this mod and still got the ad 😭

mxch3

A mootie of mine shared this mod on Twitter, I bookmarked it and just got around to installing it after work... Let me say, my jaw literally dropped and I had to rave to my husband about how quickly and smoothly my game started up! Keep up the amazing work, you deserve anything and everything you want lol!

aaliyrah

omg thank you so much. was just thinking about this the other day and praying you would rescue us.

Sophia Vandari

my game loaded in 2 seconds instead of 2 minutes. bless your heart!

rainvzart

for some reason i've had no glitches lol but this pop up is annoying and takes 10 seconds to go away after i click on it lol

skye skye

the way i just made the most yummy delicious sim and decided to give him a dog friend from gallery then after adding said dog the glitch occurs and i had to alt f4 and then i open twitter to see a post for this.......... ily thank you for this <3333333

elle

This mod is such a lifesaver, idk how many times I've had to restart because of this glitch. 😭

simmertani

This is the first time in days I've been able to play. There is an issue somewhere in my game, but I couldn't get an exception to show up because the game froze on the ad. I was finally able to get pasts that and MCCC logged an exception. I can finally figure out my issue and play! Thank you, thank you!

Elena

Yeah seen these ads now so many times, I have all packs so ads just annoy the crap outta me. Thanks!

Darksimz

Thank you, those advertisements seem to bug my game practically one-in-five.

Boum

Thank youu, would it be possible to please add a guide so that those familiar with s4pe, (ffdec too if necessart) can apply this fix for main menu mods that are currently incompatible? :') <3

Simmer

tysmmm!! i keep thinking i have a ui mod that was conflicting with the game but nah, it turns out EA doesn't do jack as usual

Alαѕтσя тнε Яαdισ Ðεмσи

Thanks you :)

MOLLORY

Thank you for the explanation!

daluved1

This mod is for those who want to keep the original main menu with no other changes. It’s not compatible with other main menu override mods that alter backgrounds, features, etc. If you're interested in a main menu with extra features, you can check out Refreshed Main Menu 2.2, which is currently available in Early Access.

SimMattically

Greetings! I'm a little confused. Is this mod to be used in conjunction with the Refreshed Main Menu or is this a standalone alternative?

daluved1

I need this!!!!! TY

Elena

EA: *does nothing* SimMattically: Fine, I'll do it myself.

Martin Burne

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSS TY TY TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LeppLass

🫶🏾😔😔

edn_ f

Thank you! You're a lifesaver with this mod! The ads were getting really annoying; what with having an ad appears after I closed the first one. I was hoping that someone would do something about the ads, and here we are. Once again, thank you!

JaytheBluPirate

Thank you for making this, EA is not doing so good on their transparency to fix stuff periodtt! 🙂🙌🏻

Moondwellersimz

The pain of having a poopy PC, waiting like 10 minutes for the game to start up, closing the ad that appears, getting that overlay, then having to force-close with TM and redo it again. Always made me wanna punch the air. 😂 Thank you so much for making this! If only electronic arts had half the commitment and care that you do.

peachmiilk

THANK GOOODNESSSS I’m so tired of having to use the task manager to close sims everytime I close the ad and can’t use the main menu screen

Lavender Lounge Sims

As soon as I get home, this will be placed into my mods folder! Thank you!!

Britney Sillybeebo Stanley

I have been waiting for this. Thanks Matt.

Linda Deuville

Okey, makes sense

Nathan L

Only main menu

SimMattically

Does this just fix the blue overlay bug in the main menu or will it extend to the issue where it appears in game?

Nathan L

this is awesome!!!!

Forest

omg thank you!!

Salt

is the refreshed main menu 2.2 going to be made public at any point?

Ren Whitlock

alex

Ong thank you. Honestly right now, I don’t even care about an aesthetic main menu anymore because this glitched overlay thing is driving me up the walls.

sarahelizasims

Thank you for making this!!! Now I don't have to constantly spam the ESC key when launching!

Windows Power

You’re amazing 😭🥰
