Blackout UI - Dark mode for The Sims 3

Okay, it's done. I finished it. :3

After 500 image and xml files manually hand-edited by me, pretty much everything is done! :3 Live Mode, CAS, Buy Mode, Build Mode, Create A Style. For anything I haven't finished, I'll update it later down the line.

There's some special extras in the download, such as a dynamic main menu that changes based on your computer's time of day (thanks Arro!) and a couple of loading screen variations.

Better Simology Panel

The Simology panel is a true nightmare… so I went on a mission to make it at least a bit better and more tolerable. And now, here I am – presenting the Better Simology Panel mod.

Filter Your Sim's Info with New Categories

Right at the bottom of the Simology panel, you'll now find five filter buttons. Each button helps you quickly jump to different aspects of your Sim's life:

👤 Personality: Sim's Traits, Lifestyles, Character Values, Ghost Powers, and Robot Modules.

👍🏻 Preferences: Likes and Dislikes and Relationship Preferences.

🏆 Accomplishments & Growth: Milestones, earned Degrees, and Resolutions.

🌟 Public Standing: Public Image and Faction Reputations (from Batuu...).

☑️ Neighborhood Action Plans: the cursed community NAPs.

Currently available in Early Access. Public release: June 24th.

[WIP] TS3 UI "Krystal"

I figured it would be cool to finally publicly share what I've been working on behind the scenes, as well as some mockups!

A few of you on Patreon or Discord may have already seen sneak peeks/given feedback. I kept things quiet because I wasn’t sure I’d even do it in the first place as a next modding project, and I didn’t want to let anyone down.

Luckily, @lazyduchess’s Monopatcher made the job ten times easier. The biggest hurdle was that I would've had to make a core mod to override UI code (I’m normally anti–core mod), but the patcher solved that and let me push ahead.

(Psst, if you're looking at seeing the mockups bigger, I also posted this post on my site: Simblr.cc 😉)

Creating the Mockups

Fun fact: I actually have a degree in UI/UX design! (for websites) While principles like “How wide should this padding be?” or “Which colors send the right signal to the user?”—game UI is a whole different beast.😬

Main Menu

I started with the main menu:

Cut the SimPoints clutter and the “Buy TS4!” banner—after a decade, we get it exists 😉.

Grouped items into clean blocks

Added a text-free “Create New Family” icon

Swapped lot thumbnails for family shots (still baffled by EA’s original choice).

Dropped an options gear in the bottom-left; might label it if it’s too subtle.

Different backgrounds: one solid blue, one closer to the classic gradient.

A lil' sneek peek of where I'm at:

She's not finished, but it's definitely getting there! 😉

Load Screen

Not much has changed here! It's just less... busy I suppose, lol!

2 Different backgrounds to choose from

Moved the Game Tips to the bottom, so the main focus stays on that loading bar 😉

I also have a third option but I'm strongly leaning towards just having the loading bar as it's the most clear!

Live Mode

The hardest of them all lol. Kudos to EA for figuring that one all out! I really struggled with this one in regards to shape and what to even move around/remove!

I figured, it should be nice to pull really into that glassmorphism I've been using over the Mockups! Now I do realise that it can hamper user experience in the sense of not being able to read anything. But these are pictures! So that should be all fine and dandy.

The active item in the queue will now be more "visible". The queued item however, you'll see look a bit more "unactive" compared to what the current version has.

I also completely overhauled the thumbnails for your sims, showing their moods a bit better, and giving the active sim a tiny plumbob! :D

And now the real deal: The control panel! You might notice it's not the whole thing, but I'm still working on that part.

I removed the camera controls from the panel. However, upon feedback, I did hear that it's better to have them as some people are limited in their hand movements on their keyboard and that those controls are really useful. So I will make sure to share 2 versions :)

I also realised I completely forgot the Build/buy mode buttons 😬 So, err, stay tuned for that? lol.

Notifications I really just tidied up :p

I am aware that the space where the text is and the thumbnail is huge, and normally I'd wrap the surrounding text, but apparently in TS3's UI stuff that's practically impossible. Hence that they got this "2 column" effect to them 😉

About releasing the UI:

I'm hoping to release them all in bits and pieces! So first up is the Main Menu (and possibly the Loading screen given it's simplicity).

After that, I hope in my second "update" to release a big portion of Live mode, but that's a bigger task on it's own of course 😉

Any feedback at this point is also completely welcome by the way!

New Font for Sims 3 ✨

overrides the font used in game with the font "The Sims Sans"

Compatible: with every UI mod I could find, I tested it

How to create your own font replacement:

1. Find your font somewhere online

2. Download your font as a ".ttf" file

3. Download my mod

4. Open my mod with S3PE 5. Right click on the "HelveticaNeueLTStd-Md" entry > Replace > choose your font in .tff format

6. Right click on the "TextStyles" entry > notepad > a new window with CSS Code opens (this really easy to read, believe me)

7. CTRL + H (to replace text within the file) > replace all occurences of The Sims Sans with the name of your font (do not remove anything else, only replace the name with your font name)

8. Check if all got replaced right. Each quote symbol has to be present, just like before. Then Save the file and close the text editor.

Hey yall! So I thought to myself, "What if I want my UI to match my Too much cream loading screen and splash screen?" I started researching how to make it happen and got the shit to work!

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A WIP.

What you see now may change with updates. For example, I may change the manage worlds background back to white but the banner at the bottom will stay brown (unless yall like it like that. yall better tell me cause I'll change it in a heartbeat LMAOOO)

The only things not done are the gallery, CAS, live mode, and build buy and I also haven't made it compatible with the UI Cheats mod or BetterBuildBuy. Please keep this in mind when downloading as it may cause conflict with those mods.

S/N: Photo may look different as I am using G-shade in my game.

My eyesight is a bit...meh, let's just say I'm very nearsighted, so I'm looking for an UI that doesn't tire my eyes. I tried all the UI that exists and the Clean UI by @justmiha97 is the only one that allows me to read the text well but the white hurts my eyes.

For now I'm trying the Tropical Sea UI by @house-of-mous . I love soft colors but I have a bit of trouble reading text.

I tried a Black UI from MTS but that UI had some problem and wouldn't let me use the CAS

And so yeah, I'm desperately hoping that @simstate gets back to work on its Dark UI, my eyes are pleading.

Also, at the moment I'm trying various Lighting Mods because I don't feel like staying in my "comfort zone", this is Cotton Candy Mint Swirl with Gelina Tweaks. The Lighting Mod was created by @brntwaffles , the Gelina Tweaks are from @gelinagelina and they were put together by @rainyunknownllama

The Sims 2 Geometric Plumbob Loading UI Mod! Hello, it's been a long hiatus since i have posted in this account; due to obvious reasons that i stopped playing sims 2 for a while and obviously, i couldn't really make a mod for it at those times. But i am back and for a warmup in a long time, i have decided to make just a tiny modification for those people who are already using Starship UI or Clean UI in that matter. Here's the Preview for two of the UI Loading mod you can choose from!

There is one for Clean UI, though i'm not sure how it will look like yet because i haven't tested it on the Clean UI version of the mod (Please Clean UI users, let me know if i need to improve upon the graphics.)

DOWNLOAD HERE! (simfileshare)

NOTE: THE LIGHT ONE IS FOR CLEAN UI and THE DARK ONE IS FOR STARSHIP UI!

Minimalist CC Wrench Mod by RheallSim (2 Versions)

*WORKS WITH 03/06/2024 PATCH*

Hi there! This mod was originally created by @rheallsim, so all my thanks and gratitude go to them. I know they posted about maybe not being able to update their mods as quickly, so I took it upon myself to update this one. (If they read this, I hope they're doing well, and I'm happy to take this mod down if they'd like me to!) Click the read more to get more details and download!

This is my first published mod, so please let me know if you run into any oddities/problems. I created 2 versions of this mod. Both versions work in both CAS and BuildBuy.

Version 1: An update of RheallSim's original wrench mod. The wrench icon is replaced by subtle white text that says "CC".

Version 2: A very discrete version that replaces the wrench with a small white dot (originally only used to indicate custom skintones). This is very subtle, and probably not for everyone, but what I use in my personal game. I wanted to still be able to indicate that an item is CC, but be as unnoticeable as possible.

Again, thank you to @rheallsim!! Their tutorials and CC have inspired and taught me so much. Really can't recommend their other CC enough, so please check them out. LINKS: Download Version 1 (SFS, no ads)
