Feedback: Shopping Cart Icon

"This cart emblazoned button has many uses ranging from sharing pack offers and sales information to recommending packs you might be interested in. All accessible without leaving the comfort of your Sims’ homes."

Great! Now get rid of it. No one wants this and it's distracting and annoying.

Hiya @TinyDancer189 

I've moved this to the Bug Report section of the forum. Could you please edit your original post to fill out the bug report template?

If you aren't prompted to do so, please copy/paste the below into your original post and fill it out so we can properly track this.

Thanks!

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:
Which language are you playing the game in?
How often does the bug occur?
What is your current game version number?
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?
What happens when the bug occurs?
What do you expect to see?
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?

At least make the icon static, it pulses continuously until you click on it, and every time you change households or reload the game, you are forced to click on it to stop the pulsing.

EDIT: Okay, the pulsing, I read, you took it off, but you still added that bright golden dot, which is already very annoying on the calendar and social bunny. Personally, if the corporate executives really demand that button at all costs, it must be made static and without bright dots. That being said, it would be much better if it wasn't there at all, because The Sims 4 didn't start out as an f2p online multiplayer game, only in the last year you've decided to make it free to download.

@GiardiniDiMarzo  There's a new bug report for the pulsing:

In fact, maybe you can create your own in case the OP doesn't come back to fill out the template.

Edit:  Never mind, the report has 12 Me Toos already.

Yeah, I clicked by mistake on this stupid button, now it flashes constantly after each loading screen until I restart the game! C’mon, this should be not so annoying designed! Please give us the option to remove it!

How do I turn off the new cart button?

EA has made it clear that this is meant to be a feature not a bug. But it is absolutely horrible! I will not be playing the sims 4 at all until this decision has been reversed. Even players who already own everything have it constantly pulsing in the corner! Worst update EVER!

Worse enough that it's in the game but why does it pulsate? I can't stand blinking things 😭

There you have it. Now they are crying!
