Suggestion for improving the aesthetics of the loading/startup screen in TS2
Hello, I’m writing this post to suggest something that, in my opinion, would make the aesthetics of the opening of The Sims 2 Legacy more pleasant and coherent, especially since it is a definitive version of the game.
My first suggestion would be to change the game's opening logo from its horizontal version to the vertical version. Personally, I was never a fan of the horizontal The Sims 2 logo. I remember it being used in Stuff Pack logos for the game's opening/loading screens, while Expansion Pack openings/loading screens always featured the vertical logo.
To me, using the vertical logo would make much more sense, as it is far more visually appealing than the horizontal one. Aesthetically speaking, it would look more pleasant and coherent.
I also think you should use the updated The Sims 2 logo for the Legacy version in the opening/loading screen, as it aligns more closely with the current universal aesthetic of the franchise's logos.
Another suggestion would be to update The Sims 2 logo in the neighborhood selector to the newer version, keeping only the dynamic plumbob. I'm not sure how viable this change would be, considering there are also other neighborhood selection screens related to expansion pack neighborhoods, but it would be an interesting improvement.
I also think you should re-enable the original Sims from The Sims 2 base game in the menu or make it possible for all Sims created for the main menu to appear randomly.
My last suggestion is related to the background music. The one currently used comes from The Sims 2: Apartment Life expansion. My suggestion is to change it to the original The Sims 2 base game version from 2004. In my opinion, this would be more coherent for The Sims 2 Legacy.

I know that what I’m suggesting here isn’t bug fixes or technical issues, and I understand that there may be other more urgent issues at the moment than the ones I’ve pointed out here.
That being said, I truly believe that any suggestion that can further improve this new version of the game and make it more polished is welcome.
My suggestions are made with all my heart.
Thank you very much!
