You can however mix & match my UI mods if you want to have different colors for different menus. For example: if you want to have a blue CAS but a pink Build/Buy, delete the "BB" texture files from this mod and replace it w/ the "BB" texture files from my Pastel Pink UI mod.
Better Build Buy by TMEX
There are 2 files in this folder: Standalone and Compatible file. If you use the BetterBuildBuy mod, delete the Standalone file. If you don't delete it, it will cause broken/distorted thought bubbles and the info UI when hovering over sims.

Bring a little more realism to your Sim's kitchen with Functional Aprons! This mod lets your Sims put on cute aprons from the base game apron wall object, making cooking, baking, and storytelling feel more real.
Sims can choose from different apron styles for women, men, and children, then take them off whenever they’re done. They can also add messes to themselves for more storytelling!
✨Kitchen Mess Add-On✨
If your sims do not wear an apron they can end up with visible mess effects like flour, and oil splatter. These effects are great for storytelling, screenshots, family gameplay, bakeries, restaurants, workshops, messy kids, and everyday chaos.
✨Paint Stains✨
There's also a paint stains for storytelling & pictures mainly. I always find myself wanting to go into CAS to add it for my stories but never really being bothered to do it because The Loading.. is annoying. Now just click the apron and add paint! Yippie!

In the 12th May update The Sims 4 introduced a new CAS category dedicated to accessory tops, called Base Layer. This way you no longer have to give up on gloves if your sim wants to wear a CC accessory top. (Originally all my accessory tops and chains were located under the Gloves catalogue so your sim couln't wear them at the same time. Downloading the new updated versions is not a necessity, if you like them located under the gloves section or you haven't updated your game to this patch yet you can ignore this post! ^^ )
After making a poll checking preferences, I decided to make a new, standalone version of my already existing accessory tops and body chains located under this new category. This way you can have the old (gloves) version and new (base layer) version at the same time and I noticed you can even layer two accessories this way hehe but if you no longer need the old gloves category version, you have to manually delete it. The file name changed the following way - I added the BaseLayerUpdate suffix to the original filename. Example:
Trillyke_Superstar_Waist_Chain_Belts.package - old file, located under the Gloves section
Trillyke_Superstar_Waist_Chain_Belts_BaseLayerUpdate.package - new file in this bundle, located under the new base layer catalogue
➤ DOWNLOAD HERE (Patreon, Free)
Accessories like sleeve accessories and arm warmers I didn't touch, I feel they still fit more under the gloves section. Accessory chains however I updated, bodychains will be layered under tops, while waist and belly chains will be layered over clothing, as originally intended. Not on the preview, but I also updated the two male frame accessory tops I made in the past.
The file is a ZIP file containing 38 package files, make sure you unzip it and move everything to your Mods folder! ✨
