Hi everyone!

Celebrate 25 years of The Sims! 🎉

This is a set of new loading screens in @microscotch's style!

They are made with a neon effect and compatible with Starship UI by @simstate!

The archive contains 12 variations: 6 without glare and 6 with glare.


Also, I made a new Splash-file!

Music: Steve Jablonsky - The Sims 3 Main Theme (Vector Squad Remix), original HERE.

You may listen it in video:

As a bonus, I created a new icon for "Legacy Collection"!

1. Use Loading Randomizer so that every time you enter the game, the loading screen and music will change.

You can download the program and read the instructions HERE.

2. For completeness of stylistic design, it is recommended to download and install:
- Starship UI by @simstate;

or, if you want:

- Clean UI by @greatcheesecakepersona;

To avoid incorrect display in "Neighborhood Menu Background", you need the following files:
Starship UI: simstate-starshipUI-menu-background-only.package
Clean UI: gckp-clean-ui-menu-background-only.package

Or any other "Neighborhood Menu Background" you can find until I create my own version.

INSTRUCTION:
1. If you choose NOT TO USE Loading Randomizer:
- Put Loading Screen into the “UI” folder of the BASE GAME, for example: C:/Program files/EA Games/The Sims 2/TSData/Res

Attention!
Choose ONLY ONE of 12 variations of Loading Screens!

The loading screen must be placed exactly in the “UI” folder of the BASE GAME!

! NO EXPANSION PACKS or STUFF PACKS !

- Put Splash file into the “Sound” folder of the LATEST EP, for example: Apartment Life.

2. If you choose TO USE Loading Randomizer:
- Install the program according to the instructions. You can use the VIDEO TUTORIAL from Pleasant Sims.
- Put 6 OR ALL 12 Loading Screens into the /custom_loading_screens folder;
- Put Splash file into the /custom_splash_music folder.

ENJOY!
