sims 4 dark GUI

.darkColour{ background-color: #141414; color: #bfbfbf; } Dark GUI for the Sims 4? I'm a software engineer, and I stare full days to my screen. Luckily, most IDEs come with a dark interface ...

White writing on black background really hurts my eyes and for a few minutes after looking at it all I can see is black lines in my vision. I have to invert the screen to read it comfortably. We're not all the same 🙂

    It's actually dark grey background with light grey writing. Black and white indeed has too much contrast and hurts the eyes too. It's generally really loved with programmers, because we stare hours to our screen every day. But if you after a day programming start the sims, that really hurts the eyes too xD.

    There is a reason windows 10, office, 9gag, vlc, and many others are having dark modes lately. Many sites like YouTube have plug-ins to make them this colours, and any proper programming program comes with a dark grey option too. Scientifically, it's been proven to be less tiring for human eyes, but I would really want to see it as optional. The white version should stay for those who prefer it. The image is favorite my programming program (IDE) for example.

      I should have been more specific - any light writing on a dark background affects me. Just reading your opening post for a few seconds hurts my eyes 🙂  When I'm using Terminal it is always black writing on a white background. There are mods available which can alter the lighting in the game, have you looked into them or even written one yourself? That's probably the closest you'll get at the moment.

        Yeah but in-game I have no problems. It's more menus and stuff that's horribly bright. I have found a mod for loading screens, but I cant find any for the full gui. I hope I won't have to do it myself as the menus change every once in a while with updates and expansions and it would keep me working on patches. That and it's a horrible lot of work to edit every image in a gui.
