A handful of main menu background overrides. Unedited (no reshade) in game nature screenshots.

Picnic (last one for real, made for a tutorial)

Sidenote: Sixam is too dark to make a good background, in my opinion, until someone makes a lighting mod for the main menu so that the sims aren't so bright.

You can only have one main menu background.

New - March 19, 2026 - Main Menu Bases

Main menu bases are now uploaded. This allows the main menu background to show when an event is active, and it 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 @toastie-sim, who I spent a few hours working with on this while we tried to figure out what changed in the last patch.

Updates:

Update: two more have been added, Henford 1 & 2

Update 2: added 10 more, gradients this time. There were more, but they didn't turn out well. That's the end. Any more will have to be a commission.

Update 3: added Picnic, made for a tutorial, and that is for real the end.

Update 4: for real for real, the absolute end now. These two (Dark Heart and Dark Romance) are meg's fault. One is one of the backgrounds for my PlumbBuddy theme and the other is one I considered and rejected for that because it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Jan 28, 2025: With today's patch, EA has introduced live menu updates for events. Meaning that they override these overrides. Lunar Britney's 2025 Main Menu Readjusted has been updated to fix that, so if you don't want to see an inflatable couch on the original background, grab the update of that.

March 19, 2026: Added base files, which are required for main menu overrides to work most of the time. Pick one.

Thank you so much to meat-ice-creammm for finding and sharing the background images, so that we don't have to live with what EA gave us.

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.

Edit: Since people are having trouble understanding this: my TOU 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.
