Sims 4 is full of loading screens, if you're unlucky your loading screen can last longer than 10 seconds.

Lucky you :) I think its sad personally that i have payed so much for everything sims 4 have (adultier adult here, i pay everything out of my own pocket) and now i cant open the game without being afraid to get ill. My previous migrane gave me a 3day trip to the ER and i really dont have time for that now. Have to keep my job so i can pay for stupid pc games, ya know? :P (trying to keep a light spirit here)
I honestly dont give a crap about the design.. I think its ugly but i dont care.. its a loading screen, not like something that affects the gameplay per say. But.. If i at least could get a option to pop the loading screens and menu on a grayscale or even full on b/w i wouldnt care.. but if i now have to edit my setup and screen colors to open up the game each time.. only for this game.. thats just not ok IMO.
I am open to design changes. Most of the time when it comes to The Sims I like the changes. However, this redesign is confusing. The pack colors contrast with the deep blue. The teal EP color is too close to the blue GP color. Considering their reasoning was to make it easier to tell the packs apart that’s an odd choice of color. Honestly, i’m Sorry someone spent time deigning it by it’s confusing and hurts my eyes.
I agree. I actually don't mind the new designs they did for the packs, but the background of the site shouldn't have the same color scheme. It's indeed harder to tell the packs apart this way because they don't stand out individually.
I also don't really understand why Get Famous doesn't get the same logo they put on the rest of the packs?
Wow I hadn't even noticed that. Why is it that everything EA does is half baked?
This isn't just about resistance to change. This is just bad design. I'm usually pretty neutral over stuff like this, but oh my, those colors are so intense and bright. I really think the original design is so much prettier and cleaner. Good design should not be noticeable.
Who knows, maybe they'll change it like they changed the loading screens. I actually forget what they used to be, but I remember people complaining that the screens gave them headaches.
They are killing what they actually want to display - the background and graphics takes away attention from the game icons. I'm pretty sure that is not what they wanted. Hey - crazy combinations of blue and green is more important than what game we sell! Yay!
Just... don't touch this site, okay? If it looked like that, I wouldn't be able to come here anymore and I really like coming here. It hurts my graphic designer's soul...
I actually love all the re branding. Here is my story ... I have a progressive eye disease and my doctor wants me to protect my eyes when I am using any device. Anyone that uses any screen should either use protection or limit activity. I have a tinted screen that hangs over my monitor at work and it helps a lot and I still have the brightness on my monitor at 50%. Are others aware that they can change settings on their devices? Also, my doctor told me that glare on the screen from reflective light is more damaging to my eyes and that was the light causing my headaches. I either have to hang the tinted non glare screen or turn off all the lights. My home monitor is set to 45% brightness and I always use computer glasses. They are tinted and have a wider bifocal so I do not have to squint. I still have to zoom web pages like this forum to 175%. The problem I have is white backgrounds. Hip hip hooray twitter got a dark mode. lol Any color is darker than than white! White is bright and blue is a cool color. Not saying anything about the green. lol Got to go Sim now!
Not to get off topic with nerd speak but HTML is actually only the structure of a web page has nothing to do with the color choices on a site and little to do with the design. These days many designers don't even write HTML themselves (though I do ). However I do agree the stuff and game pack pages have way too bright background colors. I do like the various shapes they've incorporated in the background but the colors just make it too hard to read.
Wow!! That green on the Stuff Pack page made my eyes water...
The overall page design isn’t horrendous, but they really need to lighten those background colors some. It’s currently a bit of an assault on the eyes at their current state!
I also don't like it. Too flashy, no style at all. It feels like EA is only trying to attract young teens and doesn't care about adult fans of the franchise. I suppose that is why they only put young hip pretty people on the new box art and left out all other ages. As a long term sims player (since sims 1) I no longer fit EA's profile.
does the sims team really not care about the players? because from the looks it most people are complaining about the change yet they sit there thinking this is the cutest ish ever...

Thank you kindly for sharing this!
Hope it helps some of the simmers that have been struggling to play

Plum, I've seen better designed MySpace pages!
