Re: Does buying SimCash stop the video advertisements?

Yes, it's like any other android game that has ads.  When you buy something in the game it removes the ads.  Most games the ads are an annoyance. The only problem with that is that in this game the ads are beneficial to earn SimCash over time, so you're actually screwing yourself by buying some.

    Do you at what level they start?

    I have never noticed it starting at a specific level.  I've noticed it more by when it's logged into a facebook acct.  I have only started 2 games though.  1 on my phone that I didn't connect it to facebook until level 10 and never saw any ads before that then on my daughter's phone which was connected to facebook around level 4 or 5.  In both cases, the ads started after it was connected to facebook, although for the life of me I can't understand why EA would tie them to being connected to facebook.

    I still get the ads on an Android device, and I've bought Sim Cash twice on that city before (the 80% off specials - 250 for 1$)

    You are lucky if you are getting ads after you bought SimCash. According to chat support buying SimCash does remove the ads. I wish they wouldn't remove the ads though. They are very helpful.

    This would be just a guess, but so far, you're the only person who has said they paid real money for something in the game and still have ads.  Could it be that you've only paid through a special deal and not at full price?  That could be the difference.  Not saying it is, but it could make logical sense of it since so many have lost their ads when paying.

    That theory sounds reasonable. The second purchase I made was just three days ago, so it's not a legacy code issue (yet), and people should still be able to get away with it.

    I should say, both my cities (iOS and Android ones) were not connected to Facebook for quite some time and yet I got adds on a regular basis. There is something else is hidden there, I guess 🙂

    Real nice. So now my only option is to always but Simcash. I'm not a bank. To get Concern for free once in awhile even with ads would be fine. I'm feeling more and more ripped off.

    Will they be allowing us to get free simcash since we already paid for it and we should not also be penalised the chance of having free simcash? They should create a separate mechanism for us.
