Create Your Own Main Menu for The Sims 4 - Tutorial

Hey folks!

This tutorial will walk you through creating your own main menu override for The Sims 4 based on my custom repository.

_________

What is required:

JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler

Sims 4 Studio

Raster graphics editor (e.g. Photoshop, Gimp, Photopea)

Your Own Main Menu repository

_________

Step 1: Download and unzip the Your Own Main Menu repository

It's available on my Patreon page for free.

_________

Step 2: Prepare your custom images

There are two images that you need to customize:

SimMattically_YourOwnMainMenu_MainBG.pngThis is the main background image, where you want to put the desired graphic.Size: 1440px x 1200px

SimMattically_YourOwnMainMenu_BarBG.pngThis is the second background for the navigation bar on the right.Size: 480px x 1200px

Prepare your own images based on these templates. Do not change the size of the images.

Tips: If you're using a more complex background, such as a screenshot from your game, I recommend blurring the Bar_BG with a Gaussian Blur (~60px). Additionally, I suggest adding a white overlay with ~50% opacity and a 5-pixel wide white bar on the left edge with ~10% opacity. This helps improve the readability of the navigation bar buttons and adds an extra layer of detail to your menu design.

The repository also contains the optional file "SimMattically_RefreshedMainMenu_ScenarioButton.package" from my other mod, which replaces the Scenario button icon with a semi-transparent white version. It's up to you whether you want to use it.

_________

Step 3: Import the images to the .GFX file

Firstly, open JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler and then open my SimMattically_YourOwnMainMenu_Template.gfx with it.

Select "No to all" when prompted. 

On the left, choose "images" and scroll to the bottom where you will see the images you just edited in their original form. Right-click on each and select "Replace." Select the custom images you prepared in step 2.

Save the file.

_________

Step 4: Import the .GFX file into the .package file.

Open Sims 4 Studio, then click on "My Projects" and open SimMattically_YourOwnMainMenu.package. Select "Scale Form GFX" (the one with the "gameentrylauncher" description) and click on "Import." Select the modified .GFX file and import it. On Windows OS, you need to switch from .binary to all file types to see the file.

Save the .package file via File -> Save As... Give it a custom name and place it in The Sims 4/Mods folder.

That's it! Enjoy!

_________

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/TERMS OF USE:

Main menu overrides can become outdated with some game updates, causing them to break the game. You will have to remake your custom main menu with a new, updated template in this case. Always make sure you are using the latest available template and that it's not outdated.

Since these mods can break the game, I do not advise sharing your custom main menus with other players. You are free to do so, but be aware that since you're relying on this repository to create your own version, you most likely won't be able to update the mod and resolve issues for other players on your own, so you take responsibility for breaking their game.

If you decide to share your version with other players, please credit my repository and link to my Patreon post.

Do not put your custom main menu based on this repository behind any paywall or early access. I made this repository and tutorial free for everyone, so keep it fair.

I do not take responsibility for people misusing this repository or breaking your game with incorrectly modified files. I do not provide support for custom main menu overrides created by other creators using this repository.

Any advice on drawing dragons? I really wanna ms paintify my boy

Sure! I don't usually draw dragons but I can try :D

LINEART

Here's the design I'm using. It's a character I made for this small tutorial owo

It's essential to use a pixel art brush for the lineart. Usually it's best to leave it black but you can add other colors too if it fits better.

I'd suggest avoiding round edges when possible, and keep the design pointy. This is because mspaint drawings are usually inspired by old anime from the 90-2000s.

I chose a more complex design, but a simpler one works too.

COLOR

As for color, my advice is to use strong colors more than pastel tones. I chose red, grey, black and white mainly because my character is an emo one, but you can use any you want. You can also use plenty of colorful choices to make it vibrant.

Another advice is to choose similar tones as the mspaint colors. Here's a reference:

Something very common in mspaint style is also adding lights to show texture. Choose a lighter tone for it. The brighter it is, the more reflective is the texture (for example in wings). The inside of the wings can have a slight brightness added.

I don't really add shadows but that's an artistic choice so you can add them if it fits your style better :3

BACKGROUND

As for the background, most mspaint styles keep it very simple. This is because there is only one single layer in the program. While I did this drawing in Clip Studio Paint and used several layers, it gives the same vibe.

I added some flame details because it's very common in edgy characters. But you can leave it plain or add patterns like stars or circles.

And... I think that's all ^^

Hope it helps!

if youre comfortable sharing, whats your rendering process? what are some ways you learned? your art is very yummy

HSHSHHSHS hello!!!!!!!!!! first off omg,,,, thank you so much,,,,🤭🤭

secondly!!!! heres my attempt at a rendering process explanation. uhm. warning ive never really been asked to explain it before please bare with me

BUT. here goes. this'll probably be ungodly long apologies

so when i render my biggest rule is basically Do Not Blend Ever. what i do is do my sketch, then flats, then basic placement of blush/shadows+darkest parts/etc and then i go in and just colourpick the inbetweens+place them between colours in small strokes until the changes in colour don't look too sharp/jarring

here's some examples of the process;;;

(still a wip but HSHSHHS) so i work on 3 layers primarily (sometimes i do the hair+items that cover the face on another layer, too, though they might end up getting merged):

^ with just the sketch layer n flats / and then with the render layer added

i go in with a bigger brush to block in colour variation on the face on the flats layer and then paint over that, as well as over the sketch, with smaller strokes on a render layer- i never do lineart lol, and any "lineart" thats visible is just the sketch peeking through. I try to rely on colour and shadow to create shapes and boundaries instead of lines though this isn’t a hard and fast rule.

i also try to stick to the same pallette the entire drawing- once the flats and shadows are first roughly blocked in all the other tones/midshades/colours are basically just inbetweens picked directly from the drawing. Just me zooming in real close till I can see the pixels and colour picking where they sort of mix. (any smaller shifts in hue/tones are just colours with saturation slightly turned up or down, usually) im also not sure if this helps but i use the Sol brush from the clip studio assets store for literally everything from sketch to render, which is basically just a slightly soft opacity brush which ive deluded myself into thinking helps give my art a softer look. idfk if it does or not.:)

I like to use really saturated blush and for shadows I usually use two base colours; a warmer one and a colder one- a warmer one for smaller shadows and shadows near light and then colder ones for planes more in darkness. Also, usually, at the very end of the drawing I’ll add a layer that’s just fully yellow with colour burn or linear burn or multiply turned on and the opacity turned low just to make everything warmer. (a little thing I like doing for shadows sometimes is never making them reach the edge of the plane; the actual edge is usually a slightly lighter shade and it sort of looks like stylised bounce light that would probably not be there but anyhoo)

but yeah,,,, Never Blend But Make It Look Almost Blended. I’ve been doing it forever,,,,,, and I really like the almost shiny feeling it gives things:)))

And where did I learn. Ough. A lot of what I do I figured out through trial and error and just drawing a bunch (IM SORRY THATS REALLY NOT HELPFUL) but some sources I looked towards were sinix design and bluebiscuits on YouTube!!!!! Sinix has a really good video on rendering skin which is where I sort of took my principles from and ran. And bluebiscuits was a huge inspiration for me when I started trying to render things beyond flats!!!!!!! They’re also where I found the sol brush, lol. Also just,,, the impressionist movement as a whole is a massive inspiration. The use of light and shapes to create form is just,,, omg. Especially Claude Monet in particular. (and for the basics of drawing I learnt from my aunt!)

and honestly, just observing people. A lot of the time when I’m watching a movie or on a walk or even just talking with someone I tend to start looking at their face, and the different planes, how light hits it and how shadow interacts with it, where the shadows are harsher/softer……….people are wild man

I really hope that made sense!!!!!! I’ve never tried explaining it before and honestly, I’m not even really sure how I do it. I just sorta. Switch off and start drawing, yk? BUT I HOPE IT HELPED!!!!🫶🫶💞💖

in case that was all utter nonsense here’s a speedpaint that’ll hopefully demonstrate my process;;

I also have straight up screen recordings of me drawing but. I don’t think anyone wants to sit though that

thank you for the ask!!!!!have a nice day/night and SORRY THAT ENDED UP THAT LONG

Developer Research Part 2: Dynamic Pixels

This studio is the one behind Hello Neighbor, an infamous horror (?) puzzle game from the golden age of mascot horror. (Mascot horror is a relatively new genre, referring to derivative walking simulators that focus more on recognizable characters than horror). While the game has been rightfully savaged, it would be fair to say that throughout its long development cycle, it retained a very interesting aesthetic. In the first few Alpha builds, the game looked vaguely realistic, though it retained an edge of wackiness to it.

As you can see, even in Alpha 1, a point in development people point to as being more grounded, the house has multiple decks, balconies and floors essentially stacked on top of each other. I jokingly referred to this crooked architectural style as the 2fort-Yharnam Spectrum, and the vibrant colours definitely make it stand out. Beyond that, though, there's another angle to the strangeness of it. The windows are slightly crooked, and there's a train going through the house.

Beyond being there just to add to the nonsensical architecture, the train immediately acts as a sort of lure for players - not only is it something to strive for, getting to the top floors of the house and riding the train (albeit something you can't do in this build), it is a moving component and makes the level more interesting. Of course, on a primal level, the human eye is designed to lock onto movement, but moving components, at least in my opinion, make a level seem so much more alive and real. Even looking back to my early research with Kingpin and Half Life 2, there's always some flickering screen or rusty wind turbine adding a tiny bit of motion to an otherwise still screen. But, back to Hello Neighbor. As Alphas evolved into Betas, the art style essentially extrapolated, shedding the more realistic elements and leaning harder into the surreal.

I'm not a massive fan of the new Seussian look everything has; some of it looks good, but most of it is garish, over-the-top, and does not inspire an atmosphere of horror in the slightest. What I do think is interesting, however, is the look of the machinery around the neighbor's house.

Everything appears wacky and cobbled together, covered in levers and gears and valves and gauges and rivets. There's an interesting focus on brass, giving the whole thing a pseudo-steampunk vibe. It is definitely in line with my aesthetic for Sinister Workshop. However, it's clear through watching various video essays that people didn't like the overly vibrant later Betas. That's fine, since I planned for my game to be considerably gloomier, while retaining the strange machinery aspect I have borrowed from Hello Neighbor.

Edit: Dynamic Pixels' other work is on tamagochi-esque mobile games, such as the MewSim series. It's not too relevant, just vector art-esque designs, very simplistic and not too interesting either. It's not like HawkSandwich where there's a definite vibe in all their work, Hello Neighbor seems like a one-off.

Advantages of small-pitch LED background wall

What is a small pitch LED background wall?

Small-pitch LED display screens refer to screens with pixel spacing ≤2.5mm, suitable for indoor scenes that are viewed close-up, such as conference rooms, command centers, studios, etc. Its ultra-high resolution and delicate display effect subvert traditional large-screen technology.

Five core advantages

Seamless splicing, complete picture

The traditional LCD splicing walls are split due to gaps. Small-pitch LEDs are seamlessly spliced ​​through precision design, presenting a picture as smooth as a whole piece of glass, which is especially suitable for displaying fine content such as maps and data. What is a fine pitch LED display?

Ultra HD display, clear details

The small-pitch LED pixel density is high. Taking P1.5 as an example, it exceeds 440,000 pixels per square meter and supports 4K/8K display. Even if you watch it up close, the picture is still delicate and grainy, suitable for high-demand scenes such as command centers and studios.

High-brightness and high-gray to adapt to multiple scenarios

The brightness of the small-pitch LED can be automatically adjusted to adapt to bright environments, while maintaining excellent grayscale at low brightness, bright colors and rich layers. Through point-by-point correction technology, the screen is still stable for a long time, which is better than the dark edge problem of LCD. Which screen is better for your eyes: LED or LCD?

High refresh rate, smooth and flicker-free

The refresh rate is as high as 3840Hz or above, the dynamic video has no flickering, no ripple, and clear edges. Whether it is a stage performance or a live broadcast, it can bring a smooth visual experience, making the audience's eyes more comfortable.

Energy saving and longevity, economic and environmental protection

The LED screen has a lifespan of over 100,000 hours, low energy consumption and more cost-effective operation. Market research shows that the global LED display market is expected to reach US$23.3 billion in 2030, and energy-saving characteristics are the key to its popularity (data source: Market Research Report). Are LED billboards expensive? How high is the operating cost?

Application scenarios

Command Center: High resolution supports multi-signal access to meet power, military, transportation and other needs.

Meetings and education: Improve communication efficiency, suitable for corporate conference rooms and classrooms.

Commercial entertainment: Shopping malls, cinemas, etc. use gorgeous pictures to attract attention. There are price ranges for commercial LED displays here.

Radio and Television Show: Supports XR virtual show and naked-eye 3D to create an immersive experience.

Future trends

The global LED display market size in 2022 will reach 51.436 billion yuan, and is expected to increase to 75.905 billion yuan in 2028, with an annual compound growth rate of 6.57% (data source: industry report). Small-pitch LEDs are expanding from professional fields to commercial and civilian markets. COB packaging technology improves stability and protection, and combined with VR/AR will create a more immersive experience. COB LED display: Explore novel display technologies.

Purchase suggestions

The Silent Struggle Behind Android OS: Freedom, and the Code That Binds Us

In the glittering world of mobile technology, about android OS -Android OS stands as a paradox—both a symbol of liberation and a battlefield of complexity. Behind its colorful interface and seemingly effortless usability lies a storm of fragmentation, security debates, development dilemmas, and user fatigue. This is not just an operating system—it is a philosophy, an ecosystem, and at times, a technological suffering masked by sleek design.

The Birth of an Open Dream

Android OS was born from idealism. Created by Android Inc. and acquired by Google in 2005, it aimed to provide a free, open-source operating system for mobile devices. On paper, it was freedom. In reality, freedom comes at a cost. The open nature of Android, though revolutionary, led to fragmentation—a term that developers dread and users don’t even realize they're victims of.

Unlike Apple’s iOS, which is tightly controlled, Android OS lives in chaos. Every manufacturer, from Samsung to Xiaomi, adds its own layer of customization. What should be a unified experience becomes a maze of interfaces, settings, and updates. The suffering begins not with bugs, but with inconsistency.

Fragmentation: The Curse of Freedom

One of the most persistent issues with Android OS is version fragmentation. While Google may release Android 14 with cutting-edge features, most users are stuck on Android 11 or 12. Device manufacturers delay updates, carriers restrict rollouts, and budget phones are left behind.

This fragmentation results in:

Security vulnerabilities

Developer nightmares

Inconsistent user experiences

Imagine a developer trying to build an app that works flawlessly on every Android version, screen size, and device manufacturer’s skin. It’s not development—it’s a warzone. The same code behaves differently on a Samsung Galaxy than it does on a OnePlus or a Pixel. The Android SDK is rich, but its implementation suffers from ambiguity.

The Custom ROM Renaissance: Hope or Despair?

For many power users, the answer to Android OS's inconsistency lies in custom ROMs. These community-built versions of Android, like LineageOS, Pixel Experience, and crDroid, promise a cleaner, bloat-free, and frequently updated OS.

But flashing a ROM isn’t easy. It demands:

Unlocking bootloaders

Wiping data

Navigating XDA threads filled with jargon

And often, it ends in a bricked device or a half-functional phone. Custom ROMs represent the hacker’s hope, but they are also a reminder of the suffering required for perfection in an imperfect world.

Security: Open Doors and Broken Locks

Security on Android OS is a double-edged sword. On one hand, Google Play Protect and monthly security patches offer decent protection. On the other, the Play Store is still occasionally flooded with malware-laced apps, spyware, and data mining tools disguised as innocent utilities.

And for users who venture outside the Play Store to sideload apps, the risks amplify. Malware like Joker and Triada exploit the very openness that defines Android.

This is the cruel irony of the Android OS: the freedom to install anything becomes the freedom to compromise everything. Security becomes a matter of personal responsibility, which most average users are ill-equipped to handle.

Developer’s Despair: Code Once, Debug Forever

Developing for Android isn’t just a career—it’s a trial by fire. The platform encourages innovation but demands constant adaptation. An app that works on Android 9 may crash on Android 13 due to deprecated APIs, new permissions models, or background process restrictions.

Tools like Android Studio, Jetpack Compose, and Kotlin try to make development smoother. But the underlying OS complexity turns every build into a gamble.

Developers often suffer from:

Endless compatibility testing

UI bugs due to device-specific issues

Battery optimization conflicts

Strict Play Store policies

Each update feels like treading on landmines. The suffering isn’t in writing code—it’s in making it work across the chaotic universe Android OS inhabits.

The OEM War: Bloatware, Ads, and Manipulation

Most Android users never experience “pure Android.” Instead, they get heavily modified skins like MIUI, One UI, ColorOS, or FuntouchOS—each trying to differentiate but often adding bloatware, unnecessary features, or even ads in system apps.

This user exploitation represents a deep philosophical corruption. Android was meant to liberate. Instead, OEMs have commercialized the user experience, embedding trackers, replacing default apps with affiliate versions, and prioritizing revenue over usability.

The user suffers unknowingly, tapping on what seems like a game only to be bombarded by ads, privacy invasions, and battery drain.

Digital Balance or Digital Burnout?

With the Android OS powering billions of devices, it shapes how people live, work, and think. The Digital Wellbeing initiative by Google was supposed to address this. But the irony remains: the same OS that tries to reduce screen time is designed to keep users engaged with infinite scrolling, constant notifications, and addictive app loops.

Behind the OS's logic is a battlefield of attention economy algorithms. The freedom of Android becomes a prison of choice—thousands of apps, endless customization, infinite distractions. For the mindful user, this is mental suffering cloaked in pixels.

Conclusion: The Beautiful Struggle of Android OS

Android OS is not just an operating system—it’s a canvas for creativity, a playground for hackers, and a minefield for developers and users alike. Its open-source roots inspire innovation but breed chaos. It offers freedom, but at the cost of control and consistency.

In a world obsessed with clean design and minimalism, Android OS remains a messy masterpiece—glorious in its imperfection, suffering from its success, and yet, still evolving.

As users, developers, and dreamers, we continue to engage with it—not because it's perfect, but because it's alive, raw, and real.

Meta Description (SEO): Explore the chaotic beauty of Android OS. From fragmentation to freedom, uncover the hidden struggles behind the world's most popular mobile operating system.

Motion design - Studio Feixen

-the two alternating posters falls of the screen on after the other creating a play on words as this flowing effect looks like a water fall

- because the edges of the poster are not organic it makes the “water fall” look a bit robotic in a way as water usually flows in one motion but these rectangular poster fall individually

- the overlaying dark images are a lovely touch as they create visual interest as these shapes connect over the two posters so when they fall these shapes look like they are being stretched without being distorted

-these images also add to the robotic look as they look like pixels or tabs on a computer screen
