Some feedback/suggestions from just popping in for a few minutes:
I have the Ultimate Collection if that makes any difference. Let me know if you want any pictures and I can try to get some. I can't use print screen as my computer thinks I want the image of what would be on the screen if I minimized the game. So it's a bit more complicated to get pictures if you can get what I'm saying with text only.
I did test in an environment where this was the only mod installed just to make sure I didn't have any possible conflicts.
But overall, I like it. And even with the bugs I'm experiencing, I don't think I'll remove it. My favorite thing about it at the moment is that you have the preview of the item you're buying in buy mode as partially see through and enough so that I can put the item I'm thinking about putting over the walls and floors and other items in the room to see if the recolor chosen works or doesn't work. Without having to drag it out into the open.
As for the action wheel, I'm torn. I like the black background and green highlighted for what your mouse is over appearance wise by itself, but your current pictures looks like it matches the rest of the UI more. Since the former is more subjective than not, I'd go with what you're planning on changing it to, because it fits the theme more.
- Contrast on the Content Modified, the do you want to save before exiting/going to neighborhood, and unattached subhoods pop ups is too low. Those who are color blind or bad lighting due to environment or monitor may have trouble reading the prompts. This is more of an issue for new players than old players. The contrast is also hard to read on the game tips for the "Step # of #" text.
- The bright white on the do you want to play a particular neighborhood or a specific neighborhood's subhood on the main menu is a bit bright as others have mentioned.
- Don't forget about the Family Mementos, Family Tree, Story Mode, and Lifetime Aspiration Benefits sections. They appeared to be unmodified.
- Some panels were partially see through (needs) while others are more opaque (wants/fears, simbology). Both look good, but it's a bit odd to have both. I suggest picking one.
- On the Rewards panel, there is a black bar across the right side that ends just as the delete from inventory button pops up. I did remove all of my mods just in case I had a conflict and it still showed up in a version of the game that only had the iSimplified mod. My resolution is 1440x900 in game if that makes a difference. I'd show a print screen but my lovely print screen feature seems to not want to print screen the game, but instead the windows I have behind the game.
- The options menu while in a house has the left 20% as partially see through and the right 80% as opaque. The division point is basically the right edge of the picture of the camera. While in neighborhood view the left 20% is invisible and the right 80% is partially see through.
