Pause Overlay Replacement
x 11
Did you see it? Did you notice that the game was paused?
One of the things I have done since I first began playing the game is pausing it before I save and quit. It is my belief that if animations aren't running when the lot loads it will load faster. Maybe I'm crazy but I still do it until this day. With that being said, I like knowing my game is paused but at the same time the red lines just ruin pictures taken with image capture software such as Fraps.
This is my solution:
For those who don't want any lines at all there is the "No Red Pause Lines", but now dear Simmers you have another option and like all great mods it's a simple find it and delete it and it's gone, no changing important files that might cause the game to crash. We all know what that is like

This is my solution:
- Minimal UI change that is noticable, yet not blaringly obvious.
- White is as neutral a hue as any, I like to think of it as time is frozen.
- Lose the total border, but instead focus on the corners and lose the rounded corners.
- Two new icons are used, which are found here -> Mono Icons - Tutorial 9

Now THIS is a good idea! I never installed the "No Red Pause Lines" mod because I objected to the idea of having no visible indication of a paused game. Maybe this indicator is still a bit too small for my taste, but now I will at least TRY it 
Thanks, Xander!

Hmm it is a tad small but I was thinking of the screenshot taking aspect, when you do try it and if it is still too small I'll make an alternate version that is a bit bigger of an icon ok?
@Lee - That is why you are the site fish! I didn't realize that mod was here lol.
