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:

General Info

The Wall Guard - Tiled Back splash

I was casually scrolling through Pinterest (as one does) and totally fell in love with the vibe of these pictures.

So naturally, I dove into Sims 4 Studio to hunt down a similar tile texture and whipped up a modular backsplash. Because... why not?

For now, they come in the regular in-game colors - because my attempts at recoloring? Not it. Still on the quest for perfection.

You can grab the Wall Guard – tiled backsplash over on Sim File Share if you want to add it to your game!

This item uses a modified mesh from Love struck and a texture based on For Rent. It has been optimized and made functional for the base game. No packs required to use the object – textures are reworked and do not require original packs.

of all the people, I hoped it'd be you to come and free me, take me away to show me my home where I was born where I belong

Sims 4 - Generic Thumbnail Pose Override

Free, Patreon, No AdFly | MediaFire| SFS

UPDATE 5/05/25: Sorry I accidentally locked the Patreon post by mistake, it’s fixed and now public!

Yes, I know I'm retired, but I have been meaning to edit that goofy smile for AGES, I just could never find the relevant pose to override...and now I finally have! I figured this might be something others might want and I'm not sure if it's been made yet ( apologies if it has been) so here you are. This replaces the generic thumbnail you see at the bottom of the Sim selection bar in Live Mode, the face on the fullbody pose when viewing Sim profiles (the fullbody adult pose is slightly different but still just a basic standing pose), the portrait in Transfer Sims Between Households on the map screen etc.

If you like these try my other free overrides for UI emotions.

NOTES - Two packages for Teen-Elder: Neutral or Smile. You can only put one in your Mods folder. The other is for Child, which is the subtle smile. - Before and after putting this in, or taking it out of, your mods folder, you must go to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 (or equivalent) and delete the localthumbcache.package so that the new thumbnails will generate properly.

If you want to make your own overrides for this portrait pose, go to Sims 4 Studio > Override > The Teen-Elder one is: a_cas_thumbnail_fullbody_female_x. Replace the starting 'a' with 'c' to get the child version, then you can Export them and make your own overrides! i_cas_thumbnail_fullbody_x for Infant, replace 'i' with 'p' for Toddler.

Horse Ranch is a great pack for builders, buuuuutt... I'm still going to make more add-ons, and since Studio's last update added build trims my dreams came true. I've said it before: Stuff. Has. To. Match.

DL -> ZIP on SFS

Did I surprise you?

This set includes only build mode objects that use the wood texture and swatches from Horse Ranch to match that EP. You don't need it to use these, but it looks good together. Finally I can have these wooden roof trims for all my log cabins!

It honestly drove me nuts that they gave us a foundation but no platform. The rest kinda just slippery sloped along later...

Download (Public)

A cute short version of the original platform boots, perfect for stylish everyday looks. Comes in 20 swatches, including a floral design. Great for casual or alternative outfits.
