You want a modern, clean User Interface for the Sims 2, but Clean UI is too bright for you? Join the dark side and take a close look at what @redandvidya has created!

Very glad I can contribute my knowledge in modifying the UI as well as the Clean UI DIY Kit for this to take shape!

Do you want do make a modification to the user interface on the basis of Clean UI? Then the Clean UI DIY Kit is for you! You have an easy access to all images and uiScripts and there are a lot of helpful resources that will make the whole process faster!

Features:

- All images (edited and untouched, all Maxis originals) in .png format, some of them sorted
- All uiScript files (edited and untouched, all Maxis originals), some of them sorted
- XML import files for the images and uiScripts
- Script that fetches only the required XML files for a more lightweight package
- “ImageParser”: Extracts all images from an uiScript file
- All cursors in .png format
- Photoshop templates for most images & for all cursors
- Photoshop actions
- Photoshop library
- New logo in original size
- Loading screen template
- Various tutorials, ex. for recoloring the UI or finding the right files
- Original Clean UI packages (v1.4) included

Since you have access to the extracted Maxis UI files, you can also alter the original interface. The DIY Kit was created with Clean UI in mind however and I highly recommend that you use that as a basis.

I’m excited what you’ll do with the UI! If you want to publish your modification of Clean UI, feel free to do so, but please credit me and the authors of the included mods if you altered them as well.

- Removed pink background from the ‘learned couples counseling life skill’ memory
- Fixed misaligned bar in the reputation hover
- Removed blue background row color in the ‘Sims available as roommates’ window

Additionally, there’s one fix that was already included in a previous version, but I didn’t mention it in the changelist as I couldn’t verify if it works until now:

-Fixed blank buy outfit window if you’re using the widescreen buy/plan outfit package 

If you use a widescreen CAS option and it has no effect, it’s probably not related to Clean UI. With the help of friendly simmers, it seems that it’s rather due to your graphics card, because CAS always resets to the two column mode that was created for low resolutions. Please try to use Graphic Rules Maker so your game can detect your graphics card or increase the resolution if possible.

► DOWNLOAD v1.4

Thank you for reported feedback in the past! Due to the amount of anonymous messages which are hard to reply to, I had to close my ask inbox. But that made it much easier to interact with you via DM! If you have any problems that are not listed in any of my posts, feel free to contact me. But please keep that I won’t add any new features and only fix bugs.

I also want to remind you of the changes of past versions. Always be sure to have the newest version installed! You can also find it in the original download post.

- Graphical issues in the hobby/business milestones are gone
- Fixed missing Sim portrait in date panel
- Included optional horizontal & vertical cursor for the neighborhood camera (if you use a camera mod that also lets you move the camera vertically) 
- True compatibility with the widescreen family tree
- No more crash when selecting a custom skin with the cas-min-width-1524-additional-200px.package
- ‘Try on’ clothing window no longer has the old blue background
- Picture in picture is clickable again
Optional hidden delete family button
- Summer icon in change seasons panel has a thicker outline
- Fixed a small graphical issue in the senior age panel
- ‘Where would you like to go’ is now in Clean UI style, eg. the taxi cursor
- Included background image for the main menu if you don’t use a Clean UI loading screen (resolves black background issue)

As the weekend starts, yet another Clean UI update is ready for you! Here’s what’s new:

- ✔️ Graphical issues in the hobby/business milestones are gone
- ✔️ Fixed missing Sim portrait in date panel 
- ✔️ Included optional horizontal & vertical cursor for the neighborhood camera (if you use a camera mod that also lets you move the camera vertically)

You can download the update in the original download post.

There will be a further update in the future. Please refer to this post to see what I’m working on.

Note: If you have problems with CAS not using widescreen columns or buy/plan outfit being empty, please try to copy the “gckp-clean-ui” folder located in “to_downloads_folder” to your Downloads folder and then to delete the individual files you don’t need in there.Do not move the files you want to keep to your own folder! Even though I can’t guarantee that will fix your problems, it’s the folder structure I’ve been using since I started Clean UI and I never had these problems.
