nice!!!

Updated for 1.3 (still compatible with 1.2)

Added support for all Vanilla TV's and Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Spacer UltraScreen TV (Thanks to Jellypowered)

*Note* Dont use both the Rimflix dependencies. Choose ONLY 1! Rimflix standard for vanilla TV's and Rimflix Modded for Vanilla and UltraScreen TV.

Thanks Jellypowered! I am in the process of updating the mod to 1.3 and adding support for the other telivisions. I was super exctied to see you had worked out Rimflix for Ultrascreen TV's. Cant wait to test it out.

To everyone my sincere apolagies about my silence. Though its no excuse for nearly a year away, I did have a beautiful baby daughter in August and have been adjusting a bit to the new dynamic (this is #3 for us and a 10 year gap between the last one). It has majorly shaken things up but in a good way.

I am glad to see there is still some interest in the mod. After everything has been updated I will be looking into several things: optimizing video frame rate (for quality), Re-cutting videos, and of course adding more videos / channels.

If you have any suggestions or questions please feel free to ask. I will be coming around daily to check things out and test.

Greetings!
I'm the current volunteer maintainer of Rimflix, I just wanted to let you know if you'd like to add support for the Ultrascreen TV whenever you get around to updating your mod, it's a one line addition to your <televisionDefs>

<li MayRequire="VanillaExpanded.VFESpacer">UltrascreenTV</li>
Is all you'll have to add for it to be compatible with any version of Rimflix and thus the UltrascreenTV.

Please 1.3

Are there plans to update this mod to 1.3?
Kalter Stahl 20 Apr, 2021 @ 5:56pm 
I just noticed they added muffled noises at some point, huh...
Kalter Stahl 18 Apr, 2021 @ 11:09am 
I really like this idea but rarely use the larger tvs. It would be great to have any kind of screen showin up on the smaller tvs, possibly with some quiet muffled audio or something?

this is one of the best mods, i appreciate it a lot
