Main Menu Background Override Base Files
Main Menu Background Override Base Files
These files allow the main menu background to show when an event is active, and they removes both the ads and the moola box on the main menu. You can still buy moola from the Marketplace tab.
There are two options:
With Family

No Family

Thanks to meg, who I spent a few hours working with on this while we tried to figure out what changed in the last patch.
How To Install
- Install either amethyst-Main Menu Base-No Household.package OR amethyst-Main Menu Base-With Household.package (or another base file by someone else, but make sure it's compatible with the current game version).
- Install the background of your choice. You can only have one at a time.
Find main menu overrides and matching loading screens here.
Edit: Since people are having trouble understanding this: my TOU, in the about section, says very clearly "Don't reupload my mods/cc." You can ask if you can share the base files, and I'll probably give permission, as long as you understand that it'll break pretty soon again. But I don't have an open TOU.
