Re: Advertisments sims freeplay

Is this Osiris/the Grouch auto finishing/paying for the task you just set?

Osiris will finish the task right away if you watch a video

Grouch will pay the cost of growing/cooking etc if you watch a video

Annoying but somewhat helpful (to me)

I assumed it was part of the teen quest (I have not started that one yet and have no plans on doing it anytime soon) and I have to deal with it until the quest is done. My hubby loathes all those ads. He like to have a choice WHEN to watch them for bonus things.

@EA_Arrenai or @EA_Mai is this normal?

Hi @CavyBella & @minicha-em,

Did this start after the Refined Romance update? There was a change released with this update and a portion of you may notice video ads now appear after completing actions. These video ads will provide rewards upon completion ranging from a free quick complete free item, or bonus Simoleons/XP on an action.

These video ads will only play a limited number of times per day, and we will be keeping a keen eye on this over the coming updates. We aren’t removing ad rewards via the Paper Boy, meaning you’ll be able to view those to receive the same goodies.

If you are VIP level 3+, you can opt-out of this in Settings.

Hope this helps clarify the changes.
Thanks,
-Mai

Yes, that is when it started

it happened to be at the same time as Osiris came back to start the Teen quest in my town

Im split, if it is a good thing or not. Pro: free/bonus stuff, Con: it throws off the timing, if you want all tasks to finish at the same time

+VIP 3, huh, no comment 😉

Hi,
Can you explain exactly how Osiris works?
I’ve gotten him most of the time and it doesn’t seem to quick complete any action.
