Family Portrait Main Menu (Remastered) | Backgrounds Pack
🕑 Added 2025-10-06 17:50:00 +0000 UTCYou’ll be greeted by a framed photo of your current Sims family, as if it’s hanging on the wall.
I'm bringing back the Family Portrait Main Menu in a new form, as a Backgrounds Pack for Refreshed Main Menu 3.
I remastered the original images to ensure they are compatible with various screen ratios!
These backgrounds add a cozy, personal touch to your game, and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do!
There are six versions available, and you can use as many of them as you like.
Early Access available now | Public release: October 14th, 2025
IMPORTANT: To fit the family within the picture frame, you’ll need to adjust their size and position. Hover over the family button in the bottom left corner while it’s active, and a slider will appear. Drag the slider to adjust the size. To change the position, simply click and drag the family itself!

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that this is broken with the latest update. It just shows a black screen and I can't click on anything.

I have a question. I use Mod Manager to make my main menu screen, but my characters don't appear(in the middle of the screen). Can you tell me if you made it this way or if there's a problem you have corrected with your collaboration with Mod Manager?

Wonderful mod ! Thank You for all your hard work. Main menu now looks and feels more immersive, personal and cozy. The default EA main menu was hideous and so harsh on the eyes.

Honestly, these are gorgeous. Thankyou so much for this. Honestly the new EA default main menu was beginning to become such a major eyesore for me.

I figured you would know for sure! UGH that's so frustrating, it seems like such a slapped together update they did for that screen. Thanks again for making it at least a bit more bearable in the meantime. 😂

Yes, they did. :( I might look into it and see if there’s anything I can tweak to make it work, but I think it would be a lot of work since the whole new menu is extremely static and non-adaptive.

Question, if you have a moment - no rush at all - does it seem like EA stopped supporting the 21:9 resolution for the main menu after the latest patch? I have a widescreen monitor and the main menu (no matter if I had an override or not) always stretched the whole screen, but now it has those black bars on the sides. :( Opening and loading screens still look great, thankfully.

LOVE this so much better than the new menu thank you :D
