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

The game wouldn't have a budget at all if it weren't for marketing. Seriously.

That is, If our hard spent money even goes to The Sims studio or if it does, do they even spend it on the game?

I've just been watching TV this morning and these colour blues shades are everywhere, all over the adverts and even on BBC Parliament intermissions! In my opinion EA/Maxis are keeping up to date and on trend.

I hope EA/Maxis stops reading Twitter and Forum comments as the view of everybody. I've counted about a dozen who post the most on Feedback, usually anti Sims 4. That's ok but us, who like the game have given up on Feedback as it is so toxic in there and tend to read Supposition and Rumor for new ideas and the Creator and story links to really enjoy what we are playing.

PS: I recently did a test on how good my colour recognition is and scored about 98%. It was interesting how many people didn't do half as well as that and didn't know their colour recognition was lacking in any way. This was not the usual green/red colour blindness test.

I feel like the only one who likes the changes, it gives a nostalgic vibe of The Sims, it reminds me of the Sims 2 cover art. I’m very happy with this. I know it seems like a waste of time but it’s refreshing, besides the old design was bland and boring, this gives it more color, it’s more inviting. <3

I found your post refreshing as well! :)

I like the main screen but that loading screen... :s

Yeah I agree. If they plan on keeping this game going for several more years I'd prefer they focus on keeping it working probably. I don't really care about these redesigns but it seems really pointless?

Why would they make expansion and game backs both blue? You can barely tell the difference, I have good vision and can tell the game pack is one shade darker but for others they might be not be able to. Looking at from a far you would think they're the same colors.

I'm so confused. Who decided putting blues (of which the EP and GP should not both be) on a blue background was a smart idea. Both as the pack art and icons it looks dreadful. The blues don't even share a tone so they clash. I have a whole lot of opinions about everything else but at the very least I want to know who decided on the blues. Also, if they were insisting on these colors, the Cyan color should probably have been for GP since it's more the middling color between the 'purer' blue and green.

Maybe the art designer quit and now they got to downgrade the artwork on each pack to make it look it's a "refreshed look".

I personally don't like having to pop a pill just to keep playing the game migraine-free. Rebranding is normal, I don't care, but what I do care about is Customer Care and I don't even work for EA/Maxis; they have clearly not done a Sample Study to see if the colours chosen instil any negative reactions in people with light/colour sensitivity issues. I have my PC set down to reduce blue-light, and that loading screen still manages to give me a major headache. Regardless of if you like the rebrands overall design or not, we have a real issue here. It might not be an issue to "you" but there are other people who play this game that do have conditions like mine, and some people have far worse ones. It doesn't matter if it's a minority of the player base, to those who aren't effected you're just getting a redesign, but to those who are effected are (right now) just getting a slap in the face.
