Loading screen blurbs

A loading screen blurb is a more or less silly notification on the loading screen (before reaching the world/savefile selection), which is more or less relevant to the game, expansion pack, or stuff pack it belongs to.
Loading screen blurbs should not be confused with The Sims 3's interactive loading screen's messages when loading a savefile.
