Loading Screen Tips are Repetitive

Every time you started your game, travel, or visit an apartment neighbor, I always get the same loading screen tips. I think there is a problem where the latest ones are always used. Ever since new content had been patched in, I never seen any loading screen related to Romantic Garden Stuff, Get Together, etc, and that is quite sad, not on;y because it was repetitive, but also, a variety of tips helps me discover more about the game.

A very good example was in the Get Together expansion pack. There was a tip saying, "Rumor has it that the Von Haunt Estate is hunted", or something like that. I haven't watched any trailers so I got interested in going to Von Haunt Estate. I was surprised when I discovered how beautiful that mansion is, and how well done the ghost are. After that, I always send my sims living Windenburg on that place. That is why we need more variety. I don't want to see the same toddler tips in every loading screen just because they are the latest addition to the game. They need to fix/change this.

    I have always gotten Vampires tips since I installed that one.

    Although I got Get Together, Romantic Garden Stuff and Outdoor Retreat later. So the tips are apparently defined by the newest pack, not the latest installed.

    Therefore the obligatory: There are tips for GT, RG and OR!?


    A bit late(I don't really quite know how to upload a picture at the forums so this is my first try) But here is what I can find for Get Together and Romantic Garden.

    Those are just some. Its quite sad that they never appear anymore in the game. Especially the hook up one, I really think that not all of the simmers know that it exist, unlike the voodoo doll which is always on the screen.


    Fixed :)
  • I think Sims 2 had the best loading screens, I loved seeing the pictures of the family you were playing or the vehicle you were driving in. And it was fun predicting which icon they would highlight. I don't see why Tips are necessary, nobody reads them. It should just be something interesting to look at so waiting for the loading screen isn't so boring.
    A little bit of nostalgia:
