Try bypassing the launcher as described here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
This is just for testing purposes to see if the game itself works.
If you bought the base game after September 2012, this method will not work.
The game works fine. It's just annoying when I am playing the Sims 3 game and decide to go into Buy Mode, I start seeing store items that I could purchase in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I have never seen this before. Is there a way to turn off the store from doing this?

You can turn the ingame store off in your game options.

Thank you for letting me know how I can stop the EA store ads from interrupting my game by changing something in Options. I wanted to click on Solved but the tab is missing.

You posted in a thread that's not yours that's why you can't mark it solved.
