Hello.
This is by design. 🙂
I thought Maxis was having a laugh when I first saw "I don't want free earbuds" on the loading screen, but seeing just the word "No" made me think it was a mistake. Maybe my sense of humor is lacking. 🤔

Hi!
First things first: This has nothing to do with Strangerville. I am familiar with the creepy loading screen texts that came with it.
The "problem" I'm having is that the texts in loading screens are sometimes very weird and random. This started about a month ago. I have no mods or custom content. I own almost every pack and the game is up to date. Otherwise the game works as it should. But about half of the loading screen texts I get are not what I think they're supposed to be? I mean I'm used to the gameplay tips and quirky comments, but recently I've started getting very out of the ordinary texts. Just a few examples:
Yesterday as I loaded up the game it just said "Paikat hajalle" (my game is in finnish), which means like "Wreck everything up." A couple of days ago the screen said "I don't want to wear ear buds." ("En halua käyttää nappikuulokkeita" in finnish). And sometimes it just says "OK."
Sooo... Is this something that's supposed to happen? I got Strangerville when it released and like I said, I know with it came a lot of weird messages, but the ones I mentioned started appearing just a couple of weeks ago. This doesn't bother me per se, I just find it weird.
@dr0pdeadappleb0y, this is by design. 🙂 The SimGurus mentioned in the Livestream that they put this in the June 3rd patch. These weird messages are supposed to be funny. 😉 The earbuds is a joke because the same patch that put these funny messages on the loading screens also removed the phone call that you would get if you had the Fitness Stuff Pack that would ask you if you wanted free earbuds. You then had a choice of saying yes, or saying "No, I don't want free earbuds".
I don't know about the "Wreck everything up" message... either it is different in English, or I just haven't noticed it yet. 🤔
As for the "OK" message, this is funny just because it is so unexpected. I laughed so hard when I first read "OK" , that I startled my dog! 😃
