So the new one has more diversity in race and lifestyles....but eliminated age diversity. That's... Yeah. :(

...Sorry, it was right there...

It made sense to feature Andre, Babs, Ollie, June and the others on the cover, since they were there from the beginning in the marketing trailers. I suppose they wanted some sims to show of all the content that they have added over the years, and they will probably feature them in future trailers as well.

But I also think literally no one really looked and the cover and thought "oh, who are those basegame sims? gosh they look so...basegame, eugh." Well, except their PR team, I really can't imagine anyone else really thought the cover needed a redesign.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the new cover?

I like this, I hope these sims get uploaded to the Gallery the way the originals were. Where is the hair that the pink haired woman at the bottom left is wearing from? Never seen it before.
I'm not really a fan of how the home screen layout is changing, though.

What does the new home screen look like?

I just noticed that there is a new icon under the free stuff section.

Nope. Those are all in the game right now.

One is for holidays, one is for that ghastly guitar, idk what the third one is.

The family portrait frame that came with a Mobile crossover event.

Kind of weird that it looks like all of the sims in the new render are young adults.

Yea, another thing I don't like. I don't see how this new design appeals to anyone who is not a teen/young adult.

I agree there and am sad that all they appear to be concerned about is younger players and certain stereotypes but in the end it truly will be their loss as older players of past generations simply give up and continue to play older iterations of the game instead of buying the new versions at all.

I cracked up at your post and found it hilarious while disagreeing with EA's new targeting of only taking care of certain age groups demographic hahha :)

You're welcome, I like dark humor sometimes. :D

And yeah, I wish we had more to do with elders, they could be so much more fun to play.

RIP Gladys.

The rebrand doesn't mean much if the game isn't going to change with it. "Story mode" (which is barely a story mode) and a few new outfits is par for the course, in terms of the sort of things we get all the time. So far, everything looks like meaningless (and ugly) fluff, but overall it's completely harmless, so whatever.

So far it seems very '90sesque. Kind of reminiscent of Angelfire days. I do kind of like that plumbob though. Guess I'll see when it rolls out.
