First it was too bare. (It did not really feel organized, either, but not really much to organize back then.)
The second was a decent upgrade compared to the first menu, with extras added, but I like the pack icons of the next upgrade and it still feels a little bare.
Third is my favorite, with the needed bare minimum info and the colorful pack icons. There was a lot of white, but nothing was overwhelmingly monotone like the later menus. Plus it still has the pack showcase images.
Fourth took away the color for me. (I know it was a pack decision, too, but it was debuted with the new menu to represent a "refreshed" Sims 4.) Light or dark blue, it was all too monotone for me. The llama and freezer bunny were cute, and it still had the showcase images, but the trade off of color for flavor did not sit well with me. The 4th with more colors would have won me over hands down.
The fifth... Might honestly be my least favorite of them all. I hate it. It is way too busy, the icons are not showcased anymore and you have to go to a second screen to see your packs, and the pack showcase images are gone. I was one of the people wondering why we did not get one with SE, but now we know why: they were getting rid of them. It looks like a website with articles and ads instead of a main menu screen.
At least it theoretically cannot get much worse when they redo it again...
