New Main Menu Feedback
I'm sorry, but I don't like it at all.... I don't know if the creators wanted to go for the nostalgia effect (the blue color of the background) since we are celebrating 25 years... but I don't know, ...

I'm not sure if this can be classified as a bug, but some elements in the new main menu are either missing or a bit messed up.
Firstly, there's no day or time of day mentioned like in the picture Maxis shared.
Secondly, some buttons are way too small and and there's inconsistent gaps between them.
Thirdly, my young adult Sim looks much smaller than intended. For example, the Goth family adults are taller than the window on their right side, which is not the case with my Sim.
Lastly, the Resume Game button was darker in the blogpost picture which makes the button stand out more, thus look better.
Here's how the main menu looks now:

I believe some changes are needed so that the main menu looks consistent and just better. Thank you a lot for the opportunity to share this here!
The main menu looks good in itself, but you're right about the missing ones. I would also have liked the gallery to be at the top of the “Home” and “Store” tabs (also “Events” tab)
@simminchillinOMG, the first thing I’ve noticed is that the household is much smaller than the concept in the video! It definitely needs to be bigger — too much empty space otherwise. Also, all your notes on the inconsistencies with the concept shown are spot on. The concept looks good, but the shipped version looks baaaaad.
