You get ads because selling their products is how businesses make money and advertising generally increases sales. It only takes a moment to close the popup at the Main Menu, if you even get one, and it only takes a moment to click on the flashing shopping cart and then close that popup. As for the shopping cart not shutting up? I must have missed something because mine doesn't make any noise at all.
I do understand how you feel but advertising is just a fact of life. It's not going to go away because you don't like it. The only thing you can control is your reaction and frankly, I think you are overreacting. I'll continue to enjoy my game and just ignore the advertising, which is, after all, very easy to ignore.
How is that easy to ignore. you're forced to open the pop up, then close it. I don't even know what pack was advertised because it make me so angry.
How to get rid of this ??? @EA_Cade are you still there ? Give us a sign please ! Give us hope our game will be playable again.
No, you aren't forced to open the popup, although you are strongly encouraged. I find it easy to ignore a little yellow light on the top bar because I'm not usually even looking at the top bar unless I'm reading messages. The little message underneath the shopping cart (Decorez vos pieces...) is harder to ignore, so I usually open the popup if I get one of those.
When I do choose to open the popup, I usually close it immediately by pressing ESC right after I click on the basket. Takes about 1 second. After that, even the little yellow light is gone. The light doesn't come back until the next time I load the game from the desktop.
As I said, it's very easy for me to ignore. It only takes me a few seconds, at most, each time I start from the desktop. I wish the loading screens were that short.
Even a minor annoyance is to much. I didn't pay hundreds to look at ads but to play, period.
I saw the messages too from the shopping cart. If you play offline the blinking and messages will stop but then you can’t use the gallery. Really frustrating that it still there and we don’t even get a toggle for it! (Maybe because most people would toggle it off. This shopping cart don’t bring any benefit, player still need to restart the game and download it)
Shopping Cart, daily rewards... so when comes the ingame shop which we can access via shopping cart? Can’t wait to get ads for this lovely chair and only need to pay 50 Simpoints for it or this lovely bed which cost only 100 Simpoints!
