Dynamic Loading Screen (1.6) - Mod Configuration Guide (Patreon)

The Dynamic Loading Screen mod allows to manually configure some functions through an XML file.
Unfortunately The Sims 4 Mods do not allow direct files other than those archived in .package and .ts4script, so the settings file resides directly in the .package file.

So, to do this, you need to open the NISANE.DynamicLoadingScreen.CORE.package file with any The Sims 4 .package file editor (better to use Sims 4 Studio) and make some changes in XML file (Font Configuration - 2B0029A7AE1CEF77)

Do not touch the .gfx (Scale Form GFX) file or try to edit/export it, it may break both the mod and the game...

In the XML file you will find the following parameters:

- Frames_Count [line 2]:
<Frames_Count>60</Frames_Count>
Number of frames allocated to one image. A frame is a time slice, so if your FPS is set to 60 fps, the script will be focused (executed) on one frame for 1/60 of a second (16 ms).
This is only theoretical, in reality the frame rate will directly depend on the speed of the processors and can constantly change, just adjust this variable to your taste.
Currently, it is allowed to set from 1 to 500 frames.

- Switch_Image_On_Click [line 4]
<Switch_Image_On_Click>true</Switch_Image_On_Click>
A variable that allows to switch the image forward and backward with a mouse click.
Change the value "true" to "false" to disable this feature (or "false" to "true" to enable)

- Pause_On_Click [line 5]
<Pause_On_Click>true</Pause_On_Click>
A function variable to pause the transition on a mouse click.
Change the value "true" to "false" to disable this feature (or "false" to "true" to enable)

- Randomize_Images [line 7]
<Randomize_Images>true</Randomize_Images>
A variable to randomize images in transitions.
Change the value "true" to "false" to disable this feature (or "false" to "true" to enable)

- Randomize_Images_Flip [line 8]
<Randomize_Images_Flip>true</Randomize_Images_Flip>
A variable to randomize the horizontal flip of the image.
Change the value "true" to "false" to disable this feature (or "false" to "true" to enable)

- <Background_Color>000000</Background_Color>
Background fill color instead of the default blue screen in the RRGGBB hex format.
Valid values: 000000 - FFFFFF**

- <Plumbob_X_Offset>0</Plumbob_X_Offset> [line 10]

Valid values: -∞, +∞.*

- <Plumbob_Scale>0.5</Plumbob_Scale> [line 12]
Multiplication value for the plumbob scale.
If the standard size of plumbob is 1, then 0.5 is halved, 0.33 is tripled, and so on.
Valid values: 0.000001, +∞ (but I think there is no need for more than 2.0).

* - You can change the value for the Y-axis of the plumbob or loading screen tips so high or low that it just it just goes off the screen, thus removing it from view without using additional mods, like Loading Screen Tips Remover.

** - 000000 - default game color. (To apply black color - enter 0 or 000001).
