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!
@@BellaDovah I don't think you were being critical at all! I loved your critiques and honestly laughed at some of the ones when you were pointing out the bugs because I still need to figure out how to fix them 😂😂 Anyways DM me on Reddit, I have a really fun idea for you
@@Red-hy2wp omg i really need this mod i just dont know how to do instructions and the clean ui mod also hurts my eyes cos i always play in the night too 😂
There’s not a thing wrong with your English😊 I completely agree! Its super impressive and I think lots of people will prefer it but the Clean UI is still more for me at the moment
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.
Dark mode?? 👀 I actually saw the conversation about this on the discord so I’ll definitely be looking into downloading this! Also the light mode cat meme is me af 😂
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?
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 don’t know what I did but the controls look small is it suppose to be that small? I have 1920x 1080 but every time I change screen size to that the controls get smaller
This is like super old but I have this mod downloaded in my game and I noticed that my loading screen has changed but the main menu is just a black screen.
I installed the clean UI a couple weeks back and can’t figure out how to get the multiple boxes to work in cas. It’s white and pretty but the layout is the same as default no matter which one I change it to. Anyone have any tips?
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.
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!!

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)

@@BellaDovah who knows later, when we use clean ui for a long time, we can change hahaha

Aw thanks so much I’m glad this has helped you find a UI you’re more interested in!😊

I think that the dark UI fits my style better but the other colors are also great
@@Grimonvacation yeah it’ll definitely be perfect for some people!

I get you! It was hard for me to adjust at first too but glad I switched eventually!😊

I love this project so much! I use everything in dark mode as it's the only way I can see it easily! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
Kinda triggered about seasons panel on the life mode. It looks so cut and out of place here.
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.
@@BellaDovah The panel looks great at all, but seasons bar looks bugged, like something went wrong.
I think I prefer the light clean UI personally but this is still cool.
Edit: scratch that, a pink one?? I need it
THE CAT 🐈

Thats weird. There are different files in the download and you only pick the one you want

Omg so cool! Thank you for this video I didn't know that you can change colors of this! ♥
Aw you’re welcome!😄
I just tried installing that but it’s not showing up :( do you think you could help me?
do you have the sims 2 ultimate collection
hey! the discord link is invalid! can people still join?
Yeah sorry about that! The link expires every 7 days, heres a new one: discord.gg/PKbgdvtG
I resisted the Clean UI for so long but I love it.
I did for quite some time too! I could never go back now
Why is your game brighter?
Because I use a light reshade preset, would you like the link?😊
@@BellaDovah idk if that person would want the link but I would!
@@BellaDovah yes
Sure!
So here is the preset I use: www.patreon.com/posts/41527829
