If you don't use his mod(s), you can keep the Standalone files and only remove the TMEX_Compatible files to avoid duplicates ^^
If you want to use his mods, remove the conflicting Standalone files.
You can find out more in the README text found in the folder.

Hi, I know this is weird to put here. I was hoping you’d consider at some point would you consider making a Chalk’d themed PlumbBuddy Dark Mode for the app?
Just wanted to report a bug that I found out to be from this mod <3 When my pregnant sim was giving birth, she would just freeze just about when the naming pop up should show, and the UI would not let me open any tabs save for the needs tab, so I'd have to end up force quitting the game. Same thing happened with a science baby and adopting.
i just re downloaded this it stops my game from opening and says a file is corrupted
Works fine for me? You may want to delete old versions first then reinstall the mod. Try deleting caches as well and resetting the resource.cfg file?
Hey i dont know if someone said this already but im having issues with color of the pie menu? Every time I click on my sims It keeps showing up as the default white instead of Black like the rest of the UI. Can you help what am I doing wrong? Thanks 😊
thanks for the update ♥
On Mac here. Since the latest update I've been having UI issues when going into build mode in penthouses. Build/Buy never appears and the button to go back to Live mode is glitched.
Hi yes, it's a bug I'm aware of and currently fixing it :) you can temporarily remove the BB - Lot Info - Text file in the GFX folder to use the build mode while I work on the file ^^
Thank you so much for the quick update, I also noticed that if build mode is glitched on penthouses with vacation rentals. I encounted the error when I tried to change the lot into a nightclub.
Thank you so much for the update!! I did want to point out that clicking on the "open profile" on any sims will not show the new lovestruck stuff and prevent the UI from opening again cueing random music. I've reinstalled multiple times to no avail. I will check to see if more cas traits is conflicting.
Hello, thanks for letting me know! I did able to reproduce the problem and will be working on fixing it asap. I'll update the main mod later and upload the updated file on this post so you don't have to reinstall the whole thing :)
THANK YOU so much for the update!!!
Hello! I love this UI mod but I'm having one problem with my additional phone app icons. I added all of the icons for the mods I have, for example the Wonderful Whims phone icon, but the icons don't seem to change when I go into game. Is this a known problem or did I install something wrong? Any help is appreciated!
I just installed this mod in my game, and it looks amazing, but the tooltip background remains white. I've already eliminated all the mods known to conflict. Does anyone know of any other mods that might cause a conflict? Thanks.
The game updated yesterday, will you update the mod for this version? When should the update be released?
Give them time. Stop rushing creators.
UI Cheats Extension has been updated to v1.40, will a new version be available to be compatible with that? Thanks so much for creating such a cool mod!
Hi! Yes, I'll be updating my mod to fully work w/ v1.40, though from the brief test I did, there doesn't seem to be any issues if you update the UI Cheats mod. You just won't have access to the new scenario goal cheat added to that mod.
ahhhh I've been checking back every week for an update im so excited!! (ik im late lol) incredible as always, thank you <3
I just wish there were phone icons for basemental and healthcare redux's phone app too ;-; its an eyesore on my phone now that i have all these cool icons!
This is the best, thank you SO much. My eyes also thank you from the blinding brightness of the default UI 😂
WOOHOO! I feel like today is my birthday and you gave me a BIG present! You were a little quiet there for a while and then you dropped this awesome update on us! FANTASTIC WORK AS ALWAYS! Thank you so much! I did not experience any of the issues mentioned by T Kai. I only had one issue with TOOL (which I never learned how to properly use) so I removed it and everything functions as expected. The included readme tells you what to do if you use any conflicting mods. The only thing I could wish for is that when you choose to "start" a new game; the screen would turn BLACK instead of white when loading CAS for the first time. I certainly hope that is something achievable. This is an amazing achievement on your part, vyxated and I hope this draws in more supporters for you.
hehe thank you so much 😄 and yeah, if you use TOOL you'll need to remove the Dialog standalone packages in the tool folder since they override the same files that the TOOL mod have. Unfortunately I've no idea where the files responsible for the new game transition are located at x) I'd love to edit that as well since it's the most blinding lol
sorry, just tested the new version (deleted old version + cache) and for some reason: • the main menu now is back in Light Mode with the new update (tested the old version again & it makes it dark just fine) • the audio controls are almost invisible, because they got so dark (tested old version and controls are still visible there) • in the environment and pack settings, all pop-ups are bright green (don’t know if it was meant to stay like this) • all pie menus are back to white • the sim profiles are back to white again • in the buildbuy mode, the lot type line shows up as light blue • in the split from household and move, the transfer funds section is back to light blue tested again with old version and all of these points are showing up as they should, so i wonder if there are just files missing in the new version?
heyo :] file wise, no resources (dst images & scaleform gfx files) have been removed, just separated into 2 packages. From what I can tell, some of the points you mentioned are caused by removing the files in the 00_Additional Files folder (particularly the More Traits in CAS & Smarter Pie Menu folders). Can I ask if you removed any files/folder in the folder I mentioned? As well as other mods you currently use that I listed in the Known Conflicts mod list.
Thank you so much! This is amazing! 💜 🖤
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, thank you so much!!
