TS4 is getting a complete "refresh" in design and look. I guess TS5 isn't happening soon....

Sims team has a bit of an issue with priorities.

This was not done by the gurus. They are still working on things that will actually be in the game.

Only thing I don’t like about the new theme is all the blue and how the EP’s no longer have dedicated colours. Other than that I think it’s alright, I’m not mad, I don’t play sims for the menu and pack art, I play for the game.

I like those new sims their adding with the update.

This is the worst idea that The Sims team ever had.

That's not fair. They've had tons of worse ideas.

The changes to the menu, pack art and loading screen doesn't bother me. It's a non-issue and not worth complaining about. I'm more miffed at the fact that they didn't add new traits with the new story mode, lol.

I'm glad The Sims 5 seems further and further off. I've put so much money into TS4 that I am not even close to wanting to have to start all over again. :)

The current loading screen hurts my eyes if I sit through it at night but the new one is worse, there's nothing to break up the blue background. I can manage the current one because I'd just stare at the progress bar. Hopefully they kept that otherwise travelling in this game is going to be headache inducing during all hours of the day.

I would like to point out that it's only really an issue because the change highlights that issue for me and I can't be the only one instinctively reeling from that loading screen.

Please whoever designed it, make it a darker shade of blue...

I feel like this is a last-ditch effort to make people forget the game came out nearly five years ago. A lot of fans (although I know it's not all of them) want to move on to the next iteration, so I'm thinking that this might have been done to try to distract them with a new coat of paint - especially after the relatively lackluster reception of Island Living. *edited for spelling.

Oh lord, as if the white screen didn’t already bother my eyes, now that blue loading is more hideous. The new main menu screen looks like something a child came up with. Don’t fix what’s not broken.

my eyes hurt, if only they make it a little darker instead of using bright color guess I should resort to mod once again.

Oh well, at least they kept the popular features like the loading screens, eh? :D
