I'm still hoping the Save Game window goes back to the tile view. I got tired of scrolling through the list and ended up just moving some of my saves to a different folder.

I still don't like that the Open and Delete buttons are so close together, although I haven't accidentally deleted any games ... yet. If we're stuck with this list view, it would be nice if the lines could be smaller so more can be seen at once. Or maybe players could have the option to display a list or tiled view.
Thank you for this thread.
Save UI should ideally make it easier for the player to save and make backups, Save As; especially for The Sims games, since there can be a lot of issues only solved by reverting to a previous save. This new UI makes it less flexible.
There is also a thread on Sims Forum about the close proximity and design of the buttons Save and Delete, and how that is bound to make players accidentally make the wrong choice. For a game that, from what I've read, players create long term saves for, stretching over real time years, that is particularly ill-though out design. I wonder if the UI developers have access to any research made on how the players play the game. They should have by any standards, but also considring the way the game and Origin collects information during gameplay.
