Okay so Ive been gone a little bit and unplugged from the sims. I just recently got back to the sims forum and I find out there the whole base game look was revamped and they stole stuff from my packs like WHAT. I can’t be the only one who this it look horrible. I know EA is trying to be hip or what ever but the plumbob is awful, I liked my simple green plumbob not whatever this knew flashy awful thing is. To me, Sims 4 will always be the simple blue lettering and the green diamond. I gonna miss you, OG sims characters, guy with green hat, the trucker and his girlfriend, cranky grandma. What you guys think of the new update? It’s to basic and bland for me.

The white to me was too jarring and hurtful to my eyes all these years - and also I am glad it is gone, and like the idea of new Sims getting a start with a bit of a story. So to me the rebrand is very much a win-win.

Adding to what Writin_Reg just mentioned, I do wish we could use the new Sims options in an ongoing game save. But, alas, we have to open up a brand new game save. Not only that, but I would love to go through the question process with additional Sims in that family. To my surprise, I got the first Sim done, but didn't get the same opportunity for the additional family members I wished to create. :open_mouth: I think that should be an option.

The white was boring. I'm glad for the new update.

I'm somewhere between wanting the old back and not caring all that much. I'm not over keen on the solid blue background/writing and a group of YA sims eating cookies doesn't really represent what I love about The Sims, but it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of playing it. I can adjust.

The should have at least given us an option to continue using the old assests if we wanted to.

When I talked about the people I meant the old cover of sims 4.

I don't really care about the changes. It's just a new look and a few random items from expansions added to the base game. It doesn't affect my game play at all if others have those items without buying the packs.

Every company does a rebrand from time to time, not just game companies. Its nothing out of the ordinary.

And to be honest, the white was more hurtful to my eyes, I'm glad its gone. Will be even better when they change to a darker blue, though. The plumbob? It looks more like the in-game one now, to me anyway. Just more contrast between the colours.

The only thing I don't like is the dev team taking items I paid for separately in an expansion pack and giving it to the base game for free.
