Though its purpose is to enable better sales process, PTC Velocity’s bad UI and poor content organization were not tailored to fit the needs of our daily users, the sales reps and partners reps.  

We knew the website refresh needed to start from home. The old homepage did not serve much of its purpose. Randomly placed announcement banners and unclear buttons on top made the homepage to look confusing.

To learn more about our users’ experience with the current site, we conducted user interviews and usability testing. Based on the feedbacks we collected, we were able to identify 3 major user behavior using this platform.


Searchers
know what they are looking for, use the search bar to look for the contents.

Navigators
know what type of content to look for. So they start navigating through pages to find them, often getting frustrated for getting lost in the navigation.

Receivers
are not comfortable using the system for its confusing UI. They want contents to be delivered  directly to them.

User Stories

“When I go into Velocity, I care more about information design than pretty looking UI. As long as I can find contents as quickly as possible, the better.”

Many users struggled navigating through pages to find the right content. We needed to find the best way to make their discovery experience easy and seamless.

If you only play once a month and rely on the Gallery (online features), stick to the EA App. The Updater does not sync your cloud saves or your Gallery downloads. You will need to log into the official launcher eventually anyway. Stay safe out there, Simmers. Always scan third-party tools with Windows Defender or Malwarebytes before running them. And remember: A broken mod is always the real villain, not the updater.

Here is everything you need to know about how to use it, why it works, and the legal fine print you cannot ignore. The Sims 4 Updater (often shortened to TS4 Updater ) is a standalone, third-party downloading tool. Unlike the EA App, which manages your entire library and online presence, this updater does one thing only: It downloads and installs the latest patch for The Sims 4. sims-4-updater-

Whether you are a custom content creator who needs to test the latest patch instantly, or a player who simply wants a one-click solution to update your game without the bloatware, this tool has become a legendary fix in the community. If you only play once a month and

There is never a perfect design! We had a lot of positive feedbacks from our users with the redesign. Users were satisfied with cleaner UI and improved navigational experience.

However, even the new design could not satisfy our users 100%. As they continued using the tool, they faced with new sets of problems. I learned how important it is to never get fully satisfied with the design decisions and the continue the effort of iteration, which should not be an option but a habitual routine.
