I think both are pretty bland, but the newer one is better because it's less strain on the eyes than the bright white.

I prefer The Sims 2's lot loading screens. It showed loading progress, method of transportation, and, if loading the home lot, our Sims' family, all surrounded by game icons.

For those who can't remember the old loading screens or haven't played the game back then, this is what the loading screens originally looked like:

This is what they look like now:

I think they used to look much better and I have no clue why they changed them. I know it's not a major concern and they have better things to fix right now than the way the loading screens look, but I would really love to get the old ones back (or even better looking loading screens) in a future update.

This was a request I and a few others made because the gray helps tone down the brightness of the white which was triggering migraines. Requesting a different color wasn't going to be filled because I was told marketing picked white as the symbol for TS4 so that couldnt' be changed, and the compromise was to add those gray plumbobs so me and some others didn't get so many migraines. No matter what, I think the white backgrounds have to stay and turning down brightness of display didn't really stop the headaches for some of us. It was to the point we couldn't play the game at all.
