The Sims 4 is officially rebranding! (New Plumbob, Render, Box Arts and MORE)

What’s that extra free pack logo about?

I hope they make the whole UI blue

What is the new free pack logo???

Yikes. I do not like the new look

Plumbob is great, loading screen is good, but whatever the f happened to main menu they better undo it NOW

My god it looks horrendous! Such a step back.

That looks so much worse than before. Why would they do this?

OMG! However will we cope?

It’s okay but I like the original one more

LOVE THE MAIN MENU SCREEN!! So much better! I love the lack of WHITE! So many haters still pissed it’s not University.
Thank you for all THE FREE updates you provide.

If EA and the content creators spent as much time making the game great as they did doing stupid bullshit like this, there would no zero complaints from Sims fans.

I guess they ran out of colours to use for the expansion packs.

idk how i feel about this, this new look is okay i guess and i like the new base game box art, but the other box arts and the new main menu are kinda ugly.

So, console players won’t get the option to ‘build a bundle’?? That’s bs. The console expansions & packs are way overpriced.

I like it :)I like it a lot tbh

I think this will make The Sims 4 a bit more worse… I really don’t like for example that every pack looks same and the Plumbob sooner looked better…

Soooo just new wrapping, no real substantial changes?? Well at least newcomers will have a neat new box…..

Major step back

You don’t rebrand because of success. You do a massive rebranding when you’re falling behind and need to grab attention again.

But also, seriously, you don’t celebrate success by creating the least user-friendly main menu experience to date. Half the screen is taken up showing you what packs you have or don’t have, the build-a-bundle advertisement is larger than the Play button, there’s videos to show off packs, and even social media icons, which makes this feel like a poorly designed advertising home page for a game’s website than a game’s main menu screen. Especially compounded by the fact they removed two of the buttons related to gameplay and you have to click on the smallest element on the screen in order to open up the menu. On the main menu screen.

That’s such an astounding level of UI design incompetence that it’d be given a poor grade even in a junior level design course, and professional companies would reject the work of whatever intern designed this and tell them to try again and remember they’re not designing an advertisement but rather a game’s main menu screen.

I think it’s different, i actually dont mind changing the game a little bit specially after 5 years! Even if it’s small things like this

wow that looks bad

You could always do build a bundle, in Origin, that’s not new whatsoever.

Are there going to be any new hair styles??

I don’t like it.

This looks awful… It was much better before. This is the kind of branding I feared when I heard the mobile devs were coming to TS4

Ugh I hate the new plumbob 🙁

Is Xbox getting CC?!

I loved the different colors of the expansion packs because it would be the main way that I use to find which expansion pack I’d wanna choose to use the items of in cas, buy mode or build mode. It was just easier that way. Plus it was sooo exciting wondering what color the next one would be! Maybe y’all ran out of colors and that’s why but still. You can’t fix something that isn’t broken.

Are you guys gonna fix the start up loading time yet?

It was fine for me when I first bought it but it’s gotten longer and longer ever since this year started.

Plus an even bigger question is why have cars that they can’t use? I promise you with every unnecessary change I start to not wanna play it and lean more towards playing sims 3 instead…:(

Where are the “Load Game” and “New Game” options on the home screen? Is there a second option screen once the Play icon is clicked? Seems an odd choice to leave those buttons off the new menu design…

Maybe the sims team should focus more on…idk the bugs and the disappointing lack of content their packs still continue to give us.

Hmmm, I’m of a mixed opinion on this… On one hand, the logo looks sweet and the pack icons make sense. On the other hand, I’m not sure I like the renders of the main menu animations…

Thanks! I hate it!

I like the color scheme and the new plumbob. But I want my main menu and load screen to stay the same

When will the sims ever get a modern graphics overhaul? It’s one of the most expensive games I have yet the graphics are stuck in the past. Even sports games have it beat by a long shot. I’d love to see something like gta or red dead graphics. Even Detroit become human looks great. It’s my biggest problem with the game.

The rebranding screams “graphic design is my passion”

I was wondering if they were going to change up the color system for expansion packs since I noticed they were slowing running out of color options! I’m not sure how I feel about the use of so much blue in the menu and loading screen though, it’s a lot less sleek than the all-white background and the intense vibrancy hurts my eyes a little.

Pls EA dont change the old UI and layout design of SIm4. I prefer the modern and eye-friendly color scheme. The New LoGo and RGB BLUE is so horrible . and it look like a kid game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m fine with the plumbob and the new base game box art, but the expansion/game/stuff packs look hideous

I’m sorry, but I’m Maxis Monthly, they said they were getting a lot of players and the Sims 4 was a big deal right now. So why change it? Maxis, you are going to lose money because of this decision. No one wanted this. No one asked for this. Hardly anyone likes it. Can you please change it back to the way that everyone knows and loves?

EA should work on making good and exciting content for this lacklustre game instead of waste time and money on something that ultimately doesn’t matter. I think the Sims 4 is still totally lacking as a Sims game and it’s been out for 5 years. It shows this company doesn’t care about you.

Noooo, change it all back. The loading screen looks horrible.

I was hoping for a cas upgrade. The create a pet is so gooood! Why can I have ombre dogs but not ombre hair? D:

Wait I don’t have to re buy my game do I ? I just got it last week!!

Nope, don’t like the new look at all.

I might have missed it but does this update include for all of us console players? EA and Maxis has come a long way with sims! So happy be a Simstar!

what’s going to happen to all my custom content?

Its not fair that pc is getting way cooler and more stuff then on console but i guess it’s hard to do both.

This shit looks horrible nothing is wrong with the current game like it looks like we’re playing in the 1980’s

of course of COURSE the build a bundle feature is only avalible on pc/mac of COURSE

I wish the rebranding parts were free packs, so you had the choice whether or not to download it. I’m personally not a fan of it and I’m not sure if I want to update this into my game.

I miss the days where you could go in and customize anyting in the color that you want it in the game I miss being able to remake an outfit the way I wanted it.

Well dang. Here I was hoping for the extensive color/pattern create a sim and build mode options. I miss making everything match.

I like the original so much more.

ew. i want sims 5 rn

Please add mods and cc on sims ps4

Could you add magic into the game like witches who can do magic? Or an expansion pack with witches?

Try optimizing the game’s performance first before you do these pointless changes.

I wish we can get 2 player mode back on console

Ugh my eyes. I hate it, it’s oversatured and the contrast is excesive. I hope they give us the option to keep the old look or that modders find a way to revert it…

Thanks i hate it

i think it looks very nice although i hope the bugs got fixed

I’m okay with most of this but I really liked having the packs be different colours so it looks much more plain.

And just the main menu in general…. how about no thanks, the whole ‘build your bundle’ advertising/getting you to buy stuff is really in your face aside from anything else

I really love the new plumbob! But this new image is kind of Sims Mobile

The simplistic look literally every company is redesigning their look to is so ugly. The Sims branding and look was fine before. No one was complaining about it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I feel as console players don’t get a lot of what PC players get. For example; PC players like me, get CC, Xbox and PS4 players don’t. PC sometimes get updates console players don’t like the freelancing job. I just don’t think it’s unfair for them.

wow it’s so.. blue.. I dunno if I like it, plus it’s going to be difficult getting used to everything being in a different place

I just miss open world 🙁
