I dont use that mini game loading screen on TS3 because I really like all the game tips on normal loading screen plus the scenery looks of the town on the save i'm currently loading such as this one "the graveyard is place of mourning, remembrance and for some, utter terror. but dont worry the stories of apparitions lurking after the sun sets are most likely just children's tales"
I know they're modable, because the awesome Tardis Adventures mod adds Tardis-related quotes to the loading screen. I've considered trying to put inspirational quotes on there instead of the current phrases.
All I want to see is the game loading in some way and nothing else. I hated those Sims 3 screens and turned them off as soon as I could. Unfortunately every time I tried to load Sims 3 it thought it was the first time and loaded them again. Origin doesn't link my old and new EA details, passwords & addresses from 2001, 2004 to the later ones it made us change to.

oh that sounds nice, but finding the burning desire is nice too ya know
as for the game tips sometimes they're so obvious it's like bruh no way
but i'm not very bothered by the loading screens in general i just use my phone or finish some homework until the game loads.
Fun Fact. Every Pack in The Sims 4 adds new loading screen strings into the game. You can even see that on the Developer live streams. I made this threan in 2018 as I noticed that only Recent Strings are being shown by the game and not the old ones.
I have always gotten Vampires tips since I installed that one.
Although I got Get Together, Romantic Garden Stuff and Outdoor Retreat later. So the tips are apparently defined by the newest pack, not the latest installed.
Therefore the obligatory: There are tips for GT, RG and OR!?
A bit late(I don't really quite know how to upload a picture at the forums so this is my first try) But here is what I can find for Get Together and Romantic Garden.
Those are just some. Its quite sad that they never appear anymore in the game. Especially the hook up one, I really think that not all of the simmers know that it exist, unlike the voodoo doll which is always on the screen.
In the Past around that time the loading screen tip shown are from the most recent pack and base game. However Sometime around 2019 they changed that and only Base Game Tips that are repetitive and not helpful any longer are showing in the Game. Even the Strangerville Tips don't show anymore. Kind of Sad actually. This is perhaps the easiest part of The Sims 4 that they can add detail into but they didn't. We even get a rebrand that did not change any of this.
There are 299 loading screen tips overall, none in Get Famous, Moschino, Tiny Living and Nifty Knitting.
Is it even possible to have theme appear in the game by a mod? I am trying to figure that out but sadly I cannot locate the files and I cannot do it enough. I would love if someone would do it.
I don't agree that they're condescending. Just because you know everything about the game doesn't mean everyone does. There's plenty of new players every day.
They never bothered me. The game loads fast anyway.
I agree. They’re poorly written in many instances, and others just aren’t witty/funny in any capacity.
One loading screen tip just says “OK.”
The one that drives me crazy is, “Whims are things your Sim wants to do, but you don’t have to.” Why not write it as, “Whims are optional actions your Sim desires to do”?

One of the first thing I noticed back when I played TS4 for the first time, I'm glad I'm not the only that think that particular tips is poorly worded.

I wish it were that diverse but I always read the same handful lines and you know what your brain does when you see a word or sentence. It reads it. Every single time...
For people like me who play the game for years and know already what these "tips" are talking about, its essentially "water is wet" in a serious tone.
I remember a game where people had the same issue with loading screen tips. Then the devs announced that they make them optional. Everyone was happy with that. It can be so easy sometimes when the devs are reasonable.
I don't mind them that much. But a bit more variety would be nice, or a bit more humour instead of dry tips. Perhaps it would be better if the background was a nice picture instead of plain blue, perhaps one render per pack. That way we would have something to look at.
The only thing I don't want is the interactive game from the sims 3 loading screen because that makes it longer to load.

"the graveyard is place of mourning, remembrance and for some, utter terror. but dont worry the stories of apparitions lurking after the sun sets are most likely just children's tales"
also this. I always forget to blink so when i hit loading screen i often just
the bright loading screens we had before were really awful though so im glad they went for darker blue so i dont see blue even with my eyes closed
also as for ts3 loading screens yes those did make game kinda slower than it needed to be so i do not want that back though
fave loading screens until now would be ts2 probably with like households or mode of transport or something
though sims medieval is kinda vibe too but thats more cause the music
oh or ts1 makin' magic screens just cause it reminds me of better times and it vibes so hard

But I would laugh if a:
"Reticulating Splines" came up!

I mostly ignore the tips, though "OK" amuses me for some reason. Like the game just doesn't care enough to even try.

not for me, but at least seeing the tips or phrases change makes me know the game didn't get stuck

I think one reason for phrasing it that way, is to reach players 'of all ages'.
