Hello.
This is by design. 🙂
@PugLove888 I've been personally logging every bug, glitch, and game-crashing event that I encounter each time I play (and reached roughly 90-100 issues so far). The earbuds prompt on loading is in fact one of those many issues, as it only occurred in the patches AFTER earbuds were introduced, not WHEN they were introduced.
It is annoying to see phone prompts on loading "like in Sims 1" when we are talking about Sims 4. The FOURTH installment of the franchise that is SUPPOSED to be an IMROVEMENT of the previous three. 😠
The fact that the prompt was put onto the loading screen after initial introduction, is the only phone message prompt put onto the loading screen, and a mod was created to get rid of it- all point to the fact that it IS a problem. 😮
It is one of the MANY problems with TS4 (again, logged 90-100 with a base console version and all have repeated on PC in the past, meaning that it isn't just a one-time goof or device-specific, and that ALL have been ignored) 😬
As for the Gurus, those ARE employees, specifically tasked with working on some aspect of The Sims franchise. Maxis works under EA after all.
So I again hope this gets the attention of the Gurus, because I will gladly share my error log 😞
@EmoKawaiiChibi , I never said that Gurus weren't EA employees. They are just a specific kind of employee. You were specifying that specific type of employee and I merely stated that other employees frequent this forum.
Yes there are bugs in the game, but this specific issue is not one of them. This prompt was intentional since the original prompt would happen in Live Mode for every new household , and that got tedious after a while because it would actually interrupt your game to do so, requiring you to reply. This is the solution that the developers decided on, and as a little joke they put the prompts in the loading messages so as not to disrupt the flow of the game. I burst out laughing when I first read them, and they still give me a smile! 😎 The Gurus had stated when they change was made that they were doing this, therefore it is intentional!
You don't like it and want it removed, but some people do like it! The rest don't care one way or another! 😆 Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean that it is a bug. I don't like that we can't play as our pets , but since that was intended by the developers that means it isn't a bug, just a feature that I don't like. However some players do like that we can't play as dogs and cats because it is more realistic. Those people are happy over the situation even if I am not . 😉 Usually with an actual bug, nobody is happy! 🤨
Loading screen jokes have always been a part of the Sims. Just because this is the 4th version of the Sims doesn't mean that they should stop loading screen jokes. You are not required to sit and read each one if you don't like them. 😉 Unlike an actual bug in the game (such as children getting stuck at school, or gardens not growing, or the game crashing when certain animations are done by a Sim in CAS) this does not affect gameplay. I think better time would be spent fixing actual bugs in the game and not "fixing" things that are working as intended. 🙂
