Please let us disable annoying notifications

Especially since the calendar is base game. Just put the events into the calendar SILENTLY unless we choose to activate a reminder for a particular event.

I started getting them in CAS yesterday and they were popping up over the clothing options. I particularly dislike the big notifications that expand when you catch them with the cursor and yesterday they were changing one after the other as I was trying to edit my Sims outfit. In CAS I can't click to clear them. I've had problems for a while with getting notifications for previous Households which I've mentioned on the appropriate thread, but that means I get quite a few extra ones in the mix as well.

When you add them to the constant phonecalls and text messages it's a bit of an annoyance. Added to that, the new console controls have given the game speed function to the triggers, so that when you clear notifications it speeds up the game.

I also get the same one's popping up again hours later and in the wrong order. I get calendar notifications when there's nothing going on too.

So I'd personally like a setting to filter out non essential ones or maybe a notification light instead of the notification popping up in full. The worst ones are the death notifications for CoL animals not in household if you have the bug with animals still dying with ageing turned off. Those dead bunny notices are awful!

So, yeah I'd like to see a few improvements here if possible.

The first thing I do in a new save, is edit the Calendar to increase the weeks and to add my own events. Though it bugs me to no end, that I cannot delete the useless, annoying events that EA forces upon me. Especially if I'm playing a themed hood, like Hogwarts or a Medieval hood, those prompts totally ruin the roleplaying and the gaming immersion for me. Let us at least edit them out of our custom Calendars. I doesn't even help to ignore them, because the prompts stay there until you actively acknowledge them and click them away or use a custom mod like UI Cheat Extension to "fulfil" the requirements. It's just shoddy game design and a sign of them not understanding their customers at all.

Exactly, poor design. Still a problem after over a year. Do better PLEASE.

If making notifications a bit smarter (why SCREAM that there’s a cheerleading/football event in a household that never had any teens in it???) is too much to ask, then by all means, allow us to deactivate notifications in a configuration menu.
