Enhancing Sims Thumbnails 🖼️🔍👀

So I have received some questions regarding this post and had another look at the ThumbnailConfig.ini file to see if there is anything else worth tweaking to enhance sims thumbnails.

I also decided to share my settings (though not sure if this is a good idea, I'll see how it goes). Disclaimer, that what works well for me/on my screen, might not be the best solution for you and you might be better off with the default settings. Also remember that generating higher resolution thumbnails can slow down your game. I think that visually the settings (only) make a big difference if you play on a larger screen and/or with an upscaled UI (game accessibility settings).

You can try my settings or use the info shared below (I might update it in the future) to experiment with the settings yourself. You can find examples on how to edit the file in my previous posts here and here and you can use any text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ to do so.

Download and details below the cut ⤵️

Below you can see what I changed (marked in green) and for what purpose as well as what resolution settings there are in general. I only looked at sims thumbnails and ignored everything else. I also think some settings should not be messed with, like the ones affecting pictures that are uploaded to the Gallery (exception is if you wanna extract these pictures for editing purposes) and there are a few settings that are not relevant for gameplay. Some settings I'm not sure about (feel free to share any info).

Sim File Share

📒How to install:

This override does NOT go into your mods folder. Instead, you need to replace the original game file with it which you should find somewhere along a path like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res

The path might be slightly different for you and depends on where the game is installed on your computer. You can check the location in the EA app. To do so, select The Sims 4 ->  “Manage” -> “View properties” (there should be a similar option on Steam):

Locate the file ThumbnailConfig.ini as described above.

Save a copy of the original file somewhere on your computer in case you need to go back. (However, you can also run a game repair to restore the settings if needed.)

Replace the original file with the override (either with my file or with your own version).

Delete the file localthumbcache.package (see info here), so that the game can generate new thumbnails, then restart the game.

Note that you will need to repeat the steps/redo the changes whenever this file is overriden or updated or by the game.

Жуткое бинго (@the-usual-stories)

Есть над чем работать. Осталось хлопнуть кого-нибудь метеоритом, и первый ряд готов. Смерти от разбитого сердца и конфет тоже непременно отыграю.

Ни в одной части у мен�� не было такого мора, как в четвёрке. То в праздник моржевания насмерть замерзают (так я узнала, что чародея может спасти волшебный питомец), то соседский вампир под дверь придёт упокоиться, а Мэттью вообще рекордсмен по смертям от гнева. Неужели я его настолько раздражаю? 🤔

Жуткое Бинго к событию "Подарки Смерти"

надокактовозращатьсянатамблер,явсегдаумелавыбиратьтемы

Не знаю, какие задания ждут нас в предстоящем событии, но давайте устроим небольшое бинго. Собрала все смерти в Симс 4 (помогали Darasims.com и sims.fandom.com - можете почитать подробные статьи про каждый вид и не только), отмечайте с какими вы встречались (или устраивали) в своей игре.

На бусти или SFS можете скачать архив с картинками двух форматов для вашего удобства - 1080*1080px и 1080*1920px. Отмечайте меня, чтобы я могла увидеть какое бинго у вас.

!Important Warning!

These Days some Mods containing Malware have been uploaded on various Sites.

The Sims After Dark Discord Server has posted the following Info regarding the Issue:

+++

Malware Update: What We Know Now To recap, here are the mods we know for sure were affected by the recent malware outbreak: "Cult Mod v2" uploaded to ModTheSims by PimpMySims (impostor account) "Social Events - Unlimited Time" uploaded to CurseForge by MySims4 (single-use account) "Weather and Forecast Cheat Menu" uploaded to The Sims Resource by MSQSIMS (hacked, real account) "Seasons Cheats Menu" uploaded to The Sims Resource by MSQSIMS (hacked, real account)

Due to this malware using an exe file, we believe that anyone using a Mac or Linux device is completely unaffected by this.

If the exe file was downloaded and executed on your Windows device, it has likely stolen a vast amount of your data and saved passwords from your operating system, your internet browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, and more all affected), Discord, Steam, Telegram, and certain crypto wallets. Thank you to anadius for decompiling the exe.

To quickly check if you have been compromised, press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run window. Enter %AppData%/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/UserData in the prompt and hit OK. This will open up the folder the malware was using. If there is a file in this folder called Updater.exe, you have unfortunately fallen victim to the malware. We are unware at this time if the malware has any function which would delete the file at a later time to cover its tracks.

To quickly remove the malware from your computer, Overwolf has put together a cleaner program to deal with it. This program should work even if you downloaded the malware outside of CurseForge. Download SimsVirusCleaner.exe from their github page linked here and run it. Once it has finished, it will give you an output about whether any files have been removed.

+++

For more Information please check the Sims After Dark Server News Channel!

CurseForge took actions and added mechanics to prevent such Files to be uploaded, so downloading there should be safe.

In general be careful, where and what you download, and do not download my Mods at any other Places than my own Sites and my CurseForge Page.

Episode 4.

А малыш растет.

Господи, и что с ним делать-то теперь?

шаг 1: замаскировать пришельца.

шаг 2: принять предложение неизвестной странной тётки визита и посидеть с ребенком. Ведь она в этом шарит. Наверное.

повелась.

Элеонор: "Хорошо, что я приехала, не щадите себя. Трудно быть отцом- одиночкой". "Ну, мамка вас бросила, я вам помогу, да, малыш?"

Episode 3. Past 3.

Ладно, папка вернулся. Не боись. Вот полежи, посмотри на чудаковатые игрушки, а папочка пока поищет всякую информацию. О тебе, о городе, и взламывать поучится. Теперь стоооолько дел.

Искал информацию везде, где мог.

(поищу кто автор постройки чууууть позже, честно-честно. из головы вылеетело)

Конспирологи подкинули жучков, и подсказали, что есть бункерное секретное помещение. И после нескольких прослушек, у него появилось еще больше вопросов к военным. И пересилив свою неуверенность, Реваз чаще стал задавать неудобные вопросы.

А дома-то новорожденный! И работу работать тоже надо.

"Щааааастливый родитель". Как все успеть?

А таких чубриков все больше ходит по ночам.

...оно фиолетовое...и такое милое... Такой странный прилив эмоций.. Назвал Аланом.

И только новорожденный задремал...

Видимо, ему там наставления давали.. и вообще объяснили, что к чему.

Этот в плач. Уже попрощалась с этим фиолетовым комочком.

Сначала он не совсем понимал. что происходит. Столько изменений за всю его жизнь не происходило...

А это что еще за....??

Но боли становились всё сильнее, пришлось ехать в больницу

Реваз очень долго ждал помощи. Еще бы - врачи явно недоумевали, что с муж��иной. Но наконец его отвели в операционную..

WELL, I did it. I had to redo the whole page, so it’s not the exact same texture or font, but I tried to respect the pics placement from the original etc.

Now you have a blank page to put your doodles about your classmates and their pics !

Have fun with it ♥♥
