I was watching videos of older sims games where you start the game up and they play an intro video which makes the game exciting and out of all the games in the series, The Sims 4 doesn't have one... do you think they should have one?

I honestly don't mind that there isn't one, but now that you mention it, I kind of miss the Sims 3 opening. It was cute and nostalgic and I think that a short opening before the title screen wouldn't hurt a bit.

That’s why it’s feels weird when I stare the blank screen. But idk, maybe not, I always skipped it

Honestly, I don't particularly care either way. The Sims 1 didn't have an opening video, and I always skipped the videos of past games; after the first time I'd skip TS4's video too.

I'd skip it every time. Or download a mod that makes it not play it.

An animated intro would be nice, of course, but it would slow down the loading process.

Should Sims 4 have an opening video intro?

Even with the floating plumbobs in sims 3 was awesome, give me the feeling "ok lets play this"

I like those in games that have a goal or story or overarching theme, but even then I skip them most of the time after I've seen them a few times. I'm fine without for this game.

If there is an option to turn it on and off, sure.

Overall I don't think it's necessary -- unless it's entertaining and narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart:

It'd be cool to see the first time, but I'd just skip it every time after that. Right now, loading up the game is quick and requires minimal interaction.
