The Sims 4 Dark Mode - Chalk'd V1 [WIP]

The Sims 4 Dark Mode 🌃 - Chalk'd v1 [WIP]

Hey all 👋 happy to share this TS4's UI overhaul project that I've been working on for the past month or so, just in time before the end of the year! I'd also like to thank you for following along the WIP posts of this project 😊

This mod is still in progress as not all UI elements have been recolored, but you'll find the majority of them do. Enjoy! :]

Features

General Info

Most of the important UIs have been recolored, with some texts still blue.

Dialog pop-up windows are still unedited (ones that asks you to input either texts/numbers/ask you for choices).

To install:

Main mod: download and extract the folder within .zip into your Mods folder. Clear any cache files and follow the instructions under Known Conflicts if any is applicable.

Loading screen: download only one loading screen file found in the SFS folder.

Opening screen: file to replace the intro TS4 screen. Choose the file that pertains to your game language.

Remove 00_World Select - Header text.package if you wish to keep the NoMapLotOutlines mod. Will revert the world header info font color back to blue.

Remove 00_Phone icons.package if you wish to use other phone icon overrides. Mods that only rearrange the phone menu are compatible.

The Sims 2 Inspired UI for The Sims 4

After making my own UI override, I've been itching to look back in time and try to recreate The Sims 2 UI in TS4, and here it is!

I tried to capture the look & feel as best as possible, so I hope you can enjoy this mod and reminisce a bit c:
