    OH. MY. GOD?!?! This is so unexpected and amazing!! Hi all! I'm simstate on Tumblr and I created the Starship UI mod!
    I played a lot of the game at night, and I needed to make a UI that was healthy for my eyes- but I NEVER EXPECTED SOMEONE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT? Haha omg..
    I'm so happy you enjoyed the mod and I hope to get it ready so I can release it soon! -simstate
    Edit: Also who's gonna tell yall I also made the blue version haha I just scrapped it due to some development issues- might revisit it soon!

      Omg Hi!!! Thanks so much for commenting, Im honoured you even saw my video🥰 You’ve done an amazing job, its sooo so impressive! I hope you don’t think I’m being too critical, I’m just not a dark mode person but I think this is going to be many many people’s choice of UI mod from now on!

    Even though I like Clean UI better, I admit that the dark mode in the Sims 2 is impressive! (Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand hahah)

    I was always a bit put off by the clean ui bc it was too light, which is funny bc the sims 4 is similar and it doesn’t bother me, my brain is like eh??? So this dark mode UI looks amazing , it is definitely a preference thing though, fab video 💖

    I personally wasn't a huge fan of the clean UI mainly in part to how bright the greens that are used for the wants and other parts of the UI, so seeing someone come up with a clean UI concept that is similar to the original game's UI feels perfect to someone like me. I personally love dark mode for everything, but it feels somewhat odd to me in the Sims 2. I definitely would keep a look out for the green though, it's one of the few color options that doesn't feel too overwhelming to the eye and would match a lot of the environment in game.

    I literally have everything in dark move but for some reason, I can't bring myself to get either one of the clean UI's. The blue is neither too dark nor too light. I guess I just hold on too tight to nostalgia, lol.

    I'd be interested in downloading the Green version (which has since released in Alpha version, along with a Cream and Blue versions), but I have no idea how incomplete it is. Would you be interested in making a video reviewing it?

    @suzimarima Před 3 lety +1

    I still haven't installed clean UI for the game itself, though I've been meaning to. I was considering the dark, but I think I'd prefer the white for the simple fact that everything may be easier to see since thumbnails in buy and build modes are so small now. And it's funny you brought up the clean UI for Body Shop because I have that up in another tab right now. I meant to install that yesterday but went to bed instead. :) Thanks for the video! I'm really enjoying your channel!

      Aw thanks so much, I'm glad you like my content :) Yeah I think the Clean UI is a good choice and it'll be nice to have that consistency with the Body Shop mod too. Everything is super clear with the Clean UI, I love it!

    For me black version is the best, mainly cause I use shaders for glowing effects in gameplay, I had it all turned off till the final version was release, but now is just perfect to enable bloom and lens effects.

      Ah damn I didn't notice that but now I see what you mean! Its in the same place as it is on the Clean UI I think but since that interface follows the same curves instead of having the round buttons under it I guess it fits better.

    I’ve been waiting for a dark ui forever now and I’ve loved using this! The loading screen for loading into the neighborhood hood is a bit plain to me but I don’t mind that much (also I’ll be looking out for that green one as well or maybe a blue one👀)

      Sure!
      So here is the preset I use: www.patreon.com/posts/41527829
      And heres some information about how to install reshade (it took me a few attempts and some methods didn't work for me but I believe eventually it was the DVXK method or at least some form of it that did work): modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=640856
      My preset looks very subtle in game and doesn't have a high performance impact, with only the brightness/vibrancy being noticeable because I turn off a lot of the settings such as MXAO, SMAA, DOF, Vignette, Bloom, etc. The only settings I have ticked in the in-game menu are: DELC_Sharpen, Technicolor2, Tonemap, Tint, Vibrance, HDR, Levels, UI Detect. Everything else is off, I turn some things on for screenshots sometimes but thats it. Hope that helps!!
