It seems interesting. I love the fourth image look, even though I don't really understand what have been done.
You've changed all the files in the package tht you provides ?

I believe in the "Thanks" button and its amazing powers !!!

Thanks for this change! The sims 2 is an old game, and it will make a lot of difference.

Yeah all the files and images were edited by me. In the 4th picture the whole UI was edited with every button that can be seen there. Those buttons should look less pixelated especialy the family story (F4) button. Also in the wants window wants that also give influence points show on the bottom of the want and no longer has a big border around the want. I should probably upload better images for comparison

Why did you take away the blue borders around some of the wants? The blue border lets you know that you get influence points with that want

I did not took away the blue borders. Atleast for me they looked unpleasant to the eye. Thats why they are marked at the bottom of the want and not all around it.

I don't have the Ultimate Collection, but I have all the expansion and stuff packs, all the way up to Mansion and Garden Stuff.
I'll try it and see if it works.

Yeah as far as I know it should work if you got all the DLC cause I doubt they change anything except put them in 1 folder

I feel like the platinum and black bars should've been an optional choice, other than that it looks like a well done mod.

I love this. I will say some of my like interactions with other sims, exapmle like aprecation options, the blue bubble disapears and its a just a cut in half floaty word? Alot of intreractions are that way. BUT BUT I love how smooth everything looks and kind of feels alot better when it comes to the interfaces! Thank you!

Could you like post a screenshot? Idk if you can though. Anyway thats probably one of the gliches that happens when it conflicts with other mods.

Edit: Nevermind I found the problem and fixed it. Im also doing a bit more work on some UI elements and will probably upload it tommorrow.

I don't really see much of a difference in the photos posted. What exactly did you do? *confused*

Actually a lot. I changed over 300 files, A lot (Every) of UI windows were pixelated. You could see that on the sides of the windows, especialy on lower resolutions. Also every UI buttons were pixelated too (Buy mode, Build mode, especialy Family story button) so what I did was bassically smooth them out and remove the borders making it look more uptodate cause the game isnt brand new. I also added a few other features like Needs bar being platinum when full and black when empty. Removed the posing people in town sellect menu. Overal the game now should look smooth. The difference in photos can't really be seen because of the .jpg files compressing and lowering the quality of the photos. The easiest one that cant be seen is Seasons UI.

Naked sims are pixelated, the UI just has a rough texture. I always thought it was intended.

Well I mean it could be but it might seem that they used a conventor or something cause the pixelated sides appear when trying to compress an image to lower the space they take up.

Well I don't know if you even downloaded it. The most easiest way to notice it would be in seasons chooser menu cause the buttons are definitely easy to notice, especially on lower resoliutions. If you still don't see it then the mod probably doesn't work for you or you're just blind :3

Hmmm it seems that you downloaded the file wrong or your antivirus did something to it. I can't really tell which one it is but I just downloaded it myself and it was perfectly working. I'd recomment to turn off your antivirus also are other downloads working fine? If so then this one should be working aswell. Maybe try downloading it again.
