Great Launcher. But got a issue with a mod i want to install https://modthesims.info/d/681624/tiny-ui-fix-for-the-sims-3.html (Tiny UI Fix for The Sims 3)

It confilcts with Mods form the patches, but the mod is meant to confict because it has compatibility patches for them.

Hey! Unfortunately I never used the mentioned mod... :/

Do you know if there is anything in particular that could perhaps be done to reduce or prevent these incompatibilities?

You might consider adding an "Ignore" option to your custom installation mod screen to accommodate users who are familiar with the setup process. Currently, the menu does not allow users to bypass this step. Perhaps the button could be labeled "Ignore - For Experienced Users." This change could streamline the installation for those who know what they are doing and wish to proceed without guidance and allow me to install the .package file. as you can see the patchsets will confict with Nraas mods on purpose.

"Hi Dj Omega!

Thanks for a great mod, couldn't do without it! have a question - I noticed conflicts being reported in this handy little tool but I am unsure if this is intended, since I checked the compatibility checkboxes for NRAAS and Smooth patch while running the script.

Are these conflicts intended, are you just passing the values from those mods into yours to resolve any issue? "

Thanks :)

As for the conflicts - yes, those are intended, the script creates a modified copy of each DLL in the patched mods, and those copies are stored in the "tiny-ui-fix.package".

Hey! I apologize for the late response. I've been very busy these days. If your problem is that Dream Launcher is giving you a mod conflict warning when trying to install, there is something you can do to bypass the Custom Mods installer.

The Custom Mods installer does not allow the installation of mods that have the same feature as an existing mod in your installed mod library by design, to prevent problems. But in the case of this specific mod, given its characteristics, I don't see any problems with it being installed, so here's what you can do...

  1. Close Dream Launcher if it is open.
  2. Copy the "package" file you want to install to the "/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages/DL3-Custom" directory.
  3. Rename the "package" file to the following "OTHERS --- ModName.package". For example: "OTHERS --- My Amazing Mod.package".
  4. Open Dream Launcher and you will see your mod being listed on the Launcher's "Mods" page!

Please let me know if this helped you! :)

This workaround has resolved my issue, and it no longer deletes the file in my mod folder. Thank you.

Therefore, it is just an easily resolvable incompatibility.
