    It's taken awhile, but I am very glad to see this. Personally, I think the main menu also needs changes. I also think that Maxis should give an option for a UI redesign in live/build mode with a blue color, similar to the original UI of The Sims 4. Now that they've gone with this new theme, it would be better to keep things consistent IMHO.

      I'm going to miss the white with diamond patterns, but that's a soothing blue. Feels much classier than the current nightmare.

      EDIT:
      The diamond pattern looks so good.

      Someone should make a mod where the loading screen comes in a variety of colors and you can pick and choose which one you want, kinda like CAS backgrounds.

      ETA: Found the mod!

      That's also better than the current one (I mean the one with the plumbobs the first is also too bright), it doesn't have as much contrast and saturation, but it reminds me a bit of TS3 ahaha That was TS3's blue.

      The darker loading screen will be a big improvement, even over the one we had before the patch.

      Darker colors match the logo which we all see on top of this forum page.

      The community won't agree on one color, but EA has chosen a dark blue as the logo of The Sims. This also matches The Sims 1. While I think the whole color transition was a frivolous update, I think that it's important for EA/Maxis to be consistent in their choice now that they've made it.

      And, as I said in my OP, in-game UI should be the next thing to receive a dark blue coat of paint to maintain consistency.

      Hopefully, when TS5 comes around, all of this color mess won't be a thing.

      Personally I wouldn't mind if they made the UI dark blue (keeping the layout and icons as they are) like in that early version screenshot with Ollie. But I know a lot of people would probably not like that change though.

      well I for one am finally able to live with the update. Still don't think the rebrand is the best work the team could have done but at least in august I'll be able to play again :)<3 I'm so glad that they listened to the community about the loading screen. makes my day. I can't wait to try the new quiz/story thing in CAS in August :D

      Even as someone who wasn’t really bothered by the bright blue eye and headache wise this is a much nicer color of blue.

      It still looks a bit boring to me, they should add a shine effect to make it more interesting to look at

      There's quite a few things wrong with the current one. It's not about a dark color background vs a light color background but rather the value and saturation of the colors.

      The white words has almost a similar value to the light blue. It's terrible for people to read something like that as there is not much contrast. It can be eye straining as well. Same with the plumbob, there's not much contrast against the light blue bg. The light blue is too saturated.

      Oh thank god! I have to avoid really "loud" colours, like the hot pink hair swatch for example because I'm sensitive to bright light and colours and too much of either gives me a headache.

      Glad they fixed it for those light sensitive. The only colour I fear nowadays is black, Windows 10 updates taking minutes or more when restarting my computer. You never know if it is the one step too far! :/

      The new darker color looks to me very... depressing. And I certainly don't want any Sims 1, Sims 2 or Sims 3 UI replication, nether original mobile look UI of the Sims 4 (also in blue color). I bought a game with silver/grey modern design UI, I paid for it, and personally I want to see it that way back.

      I also liked the plumbob pattern in the background, it made the loading screen less bland without being too much in your face. Toning down the colour saturation in the current loading screen will make it easier on the eyes, but it will still look boring. I wish they made it like in the right picture.

      I wish we still had the old white loading screen, but at least I'm glad they listen to us! The current loading screen is giving me migraines :/
