Glowing icons

First the occult picker and now this... As an autistic person I find this very distracting in CAS and now also in build mode. Please stop adding this glowing effect to different icons or at least make it so that it stops glowing (forever) after we click on it! I cannot focus...

  • I agree! With my OCD and epilepsy, this can be quite triggering (and very very annoying). We're not that dumb, EA! We know what those icons mean. You don't have to remind us of them or actually force us to use it! And PLEASE, get rid of the annoying icon of the left as well! We do NOT have to reminded of going to the park to find Emmett!! EA really think of us as silly toddlers with big fat purses, don't they?

  • I agree! This is so distracting. I hate flickering, maybe because I have astigmatism and after all the feedback about glowing notification dots and flickering shopping trolley icons I'm surprised we have something even bigger and more distracting like this. I'd really appreciate it if it stopped doing that constantly while I'm in CAS.

  • I agree. It is very distracting and honestly not necessary. It would be great if these could at least be optional, so that those who want this can keep it, but those who don't want this don't have to. Please consider this. It's a small thing, but it will definitely be a helpful QOL change in terms of accessibility.

  • Those flickering lights trigger my migraine headaches! Its why I can't play 99% of the video games. I love the Sims because they don't! But this is so bothering I rarely go into CAS and just download Sims from the gallery to avoid it.  

    My 38 year old son is autistic and I know this has always been an issue for him too. He NEVER plays video games due to it.
