Loading screens are apparently going to be updated soon, according to this Sims Community article. And it looks like they might start advertising packs on them in a similar way to Sims 3 loading screens (although those were interactive and you could opt out of them).
I’m tired of this, but not surprised. It just seems inevitable now that they’re going to use every opportunity in the game to try and make us spend more money. What do you all think?
Honestly, I can't say I mind that much. I'll take it over that awful shade of blue any day.
I guess that's also why my custom loading screen was broken in the latest patch update, which has never happened before.
To be honest, I'm surprised they never used their high resolution renders as main menu and loading screen backgrounds sooner. All the work that must go in to editing them, it would be a shame not to display them. I think they should just do away with displaying the DLC pack names, game tips, and just opt for a slideshow of their renders, accompanied by a small spinning Plumbob in the corner. Keep it clean and simple.
Heck, while they're at it, they could do the same for the main menu. It's the only reason why I use the Refreshed Main Menu mod. I'd much rather look at pretty scenery than advertisements. My main menu now looks like this:
Please don't.
The Sims 3 at least turned it into a mini-game. It seems like The Sims 4 simply shows the pictures...
Hope that won't be the case because there are quite a lot more loading screens in TS4 than there were in TS3.
