Looks great. The fewer Sims 4 references in Sims 3 the better.

It should work because it only hides certain elements of the main menu. You can manage login settings through the options menu.

yes! it works! thanks so much for this. feels much more like the old TS3 now haha.

However there is a tiny bug, when you click new game the world descriptions kind of cuts out of the box it's meant to be in!

Thank you for informing me about the bug. MTS is currently returning a 500 error, preventing me from updating the file.

I'm mainly thrilled about this because it fixes the UI being off-center. That was putting me off for so long. Thank you!

Do you know if this is compatible with the Tiny UI Fix?

Oh my god! I have wanted this exact thing and your other one that hides the store button in buy mode forever. I'm completely serious. The latter was easy enough to ignore, but having that big TS4 advertisement plastered on the main menu just made TS3 feel like a free-to-play game or something lol, even if it was just that one thing.

Now it will look just like it did before! Thanks so much, can't state enough how much this is appreciated!

Asking out of curiosity, is there anything else you had in mind to do that's similar to this? I can't think of anything further UI-based, but thought it can't hurt to ask!

Thanks for the kind words! They make my work really worth it. I've recently started posting some of my mods that are not yet on MTS to Tumblr. There's a modular UI project overhaul that already has two modules - minimalistic save and game loading. There's also a sneak peek at the main menu overhaul that I hope to finish in the future.
If you would like to check it out, then here's a link to my Tumblr

Thanks for this. I've always wondered if that Sims 4 thing could be got rid of. It was always nagging away there: sort of saying 'Hey stupid, the game you're playing sucks, you should be playing this instead". And now, oh frabjous day, it is finally gone!
