I actually like the loading screens. Sure the open world of 3 was nice and all. But I've been playing the sims since the first game came out like 20 years ago and I like them. Because they have funny and useful text scrolling by. The Sims 1 & 2 had funny texts and The Sims 4 have really useful tips and ideas and even though I've had the game for a long time, I still sometimes learn something new. And the load screen in the sims 4 is waaaay faster than The Sims 2. At least for me because I have a way better computer to play it on.
Everyone likes different things, it would be pretty boring if everyone thought and felt the same thing.
