Ok

I have no idea what it's referring to and it's been doing that for me for a really long time, I play on a PC.

It shows up on all platforms.

It’s an in-joke and I believe it refers to one of the options you used to be able to choose from via an opportunity pop-up when free earbuds were offered by a company called Be Fit as a Fiddle. Free earbuds come with the My Fitness Stuff pack. The company’s phone call used to give the player two options:

Option 1:

OK

Option 2:

No, I don’t want free earbuds.

The community complained about the constant notification from the company so Maxis ditched the phone call. Now these “options” only exist in your loading screen. The free earbuds are just added to your sim’s inventory, or you can buy them via BB.

I don't see how the 2 can be related since I get both ok and I don't free earbuds message. But I do remember that you were given the choice of getting free earbuds or not. These days, I get free earbuds rather I want them or not.

Perhaps someone else can offer a better explanation. ??‍♂️

Maybe this is not the answer, but I want to believe that OK is the answer to all the questions/suggestions that we have asked the development team to react to. ??

For fun? Gurus try to follow trends all the time.

I say OK when I don't have anything else to say in an argument or hoping someone would stop responding and just say ok.

The one problem with that is that this message board is filled with messages to let players know what they can do in the game. Such as letting players know that they can have their sim adopt an infant by using the computer or live dragging a plate to the trash can to clean the dishes or keep unwanted guess at bay by looking the doors and so on. And I don't see how ok can fit into this without further explanation.

I understand what you are saying because the point of the main screen is supposed to be helpful information but they tried to be cool and funny. There is not much further explanation for it. You will get a similar response from the team if they answer.

I don't know what else to say. And here's where I would normally input ok ? because I have no other response to give you.

That’s all it is. A little joke. For fun. Like Reticulating Splines...
OK.
A simmer either gets the joke or not.
You could @ a simguru and ask about it, but all they’d be doing is trying to explain the joke. There’s nothing else to it.
I believe it takes a certain level of involvement with the game for someone to be able to get it, perhaps? I’m sure many, many people have no clue as to what it means.

It’s like needing to change position to be able to see something that’s impossible to see from the current angle.

OK is an abbreviation, but I can see it being a little bit of fun, too. Glad to have this mystery cleared up. I do prefer things such as Reticulating Splines, though. Okay? ;)

I've been seeing the 'Ok' and 'I don't want free earbuds' messages coming up for as long as I can remember and always wondered what this was about! Now I know, lol.
