Replacement PC Screens
Updated Version please re-download and delete previous version. It is now renamed "Replacement Screens FT" so it won't auto overwrite!
You can now choose to download a "lite version" of these replacement screens. All images sizes were cut in half and are based off of optimized jpegs instead of pngs. Really it's just a smaller file size for your game to deal with. In-game images are only slightly more blurry than the non-light version.
It has completely took over my free time and I even required some outside help to get on the right track but I have finally completed something that has been bugging me since I could remember; Replacement PC Screens for the Sims 2. Now with brighter screens and new boot screens! Thanks Nix
Special thanks to: NixNivis for discovering why exactly the FreeTime screens were brighter than the base game. It doesn't make sense how the solution works all I know is that I just finished testing it and it does in fact work!
Special thanks to: The Ninth Wave for showing me how to even start this project
Special thanks to: DJS Sims for the compressorizer which has saved 20 MB of space from this package!
If it is too big and it might be I guess I'll have to make a more lighter yet hopefully not too pixelated version of the screens. I'll update this post again should that time come.

I think its great that you used the light theme - is it ready to go live?

@leefish: Well if the in game screen shots weren't so low res you could clearly see that you were clearly logged in lol. I hope you don't mind I used the Light theme for the in game screen shot of Leefish.
@Michelle: Thank you! Please let me know if you run into any problems, suggestions, or things I may have missed.
@BO: Because knowledge is power!
