    I hate the new colour scheme, the loading screen looks flat and the blue isn't the best .. at all I mean I'm all for a bit of change but this is not a good one!!

    do they have a reason for this ugliness? or are they just bored and wanted to paint

    After 5 years, they want to renew the design as if The Sims 4 was a new game in order to boost the sales. It's a restart.
    A restart only EA benefits from. Not the players.

    I feel like simply going darker would have been a better choice. ^mine

    I prefer even brighter blue :)

    I don't understand how this could be "too bright". The first loading we had was literally pure white. It's not like TS4 supports HDR and outputs 1000+ nits to your eyes.

    Not to offend, but that's much worse actually. That makes EA's look good. Too bright.

    Well we have 2 Plumbobs in the same game, because the ones above the sims head, and the logo doesn't match.

    I don't mind the color so much, but I wish there was some framing to it.

    Avenida Sims has it right.


    This looks great to me.

    I did. I used TS4 until now barely just to build. I know someday they would impressed me or give me a reason to get out of this. As expected the second became real. I don't care at this point. I still playing The Sims 2 frequently and the day they announced the rebranding I felt that was like a call to me to get out definitively. I uninstalled the game. I have no desire to get back to it ever again! I installed The Sims 3 again and for now I will only play the old three games everytime I want and waiting for the supposed competitor to be real, at the point that I will just pretend TS4 doesn't exist!

    Why change it? Because hidden gifs and subliminal messages are easily hidden on a blue screen rather than a white one.

    This is probably an unpopular opinion but that loading screen in my opinion is pushing the seemingly-minimalist art style approach sims 4 developers have adapted since its release a bit step too far. It's lazy, unexciting and lack of feeling/depth and just makes me want to get past this horrid screen as soon as possible because the blue is simply too bright for my eyes and makes me uncomfortable.

    Let's take a trip down the memory lane and look at a previous sims game's loading screen:

    jon-wofford-4.gif?1553141446

    This is the loading screen of the sims 3: Pets for Xbox 360. I'm no expert when it comes to colour palette theory but notice how the cold-dark blue background of the loading screen contrasts the warm screenshot placed in the middle? It wouldn't take much effort to divert the viewer's attention to the picture automatically upon seeing this loading screen because it brings out a sense of cosiness and excitement towards the gameplay in such a lovely town that is shown in the photograph.

    Oh and notice that the tiny plumbob in the top left corner rotating as well. Is this a simple loading screen? Yes, it is. But is it a design that makes you feel uncomfortable? No, it isn't.

    I would love that type of loading screen for the PC. :)

    Maybe black would of been a better choice for the S4 rebranding.

    All the talk of migraines has seriously gotten me thinking -- I suffer from migraines but have been mostly migraine-free for over a year after some lifestyle and diet changes. Yet yesterday, after perusing this board and looking at these images, I have a killer headache for the first time in months and months. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

    That's good to know, thanks, but they need to show the UI as it looks when we are playing, not just on a fresh install.

    Actually, I remember a tweet that a guru said (I can't remember which guru) that design and game mechanics are two different departments, so no resources that go into the actual game were used for this.

    You do know that we can‘t play new packs if we don‘t update the game?

    This rebranding is terrible

    I'm honestly most upset about the packs, they look so cheap and childish and I'd much rather have the current ones :(

    That‘s my biggest concern! They look really bad and you can‘t distinguish them anymore that easily.

    1. Punctuation is a beautiful thing.

    2. If The Sims 5 is anything like TS4 I will not buy it. At this point I think the franchise is a goner, with the direction that Maxis & EA have taken. There will be other games from other companies that will be better and will earn my gaming dollars.
