Rant - The ADs are super annoying

Since Sims 1 I've purchased almost every add-on. Sometimes not right away because I want to enjoy one at a time.  I just had ChatGPT total the transactions I have directly with EA starting from 2008 and that was $950, and that doesn't include the packs I've picked up at stores. 

I stopped playing for 7 months and just came back again. This is the first time I just don't want to play or buy anything anymore and it's all thanks to your incredibly annoying ads. I've spend so much money on this game and it pisses me off to no end that after all of that it doesn't matter.. we're given this s**ty experience. I should be given an option to turn off these ads. I don't want whatever event you are using to advertize this pack in game. I just want the games i've purchased so far. When it's time for me to add that expansion I will.  

I know the base game is free, but you are now treating the people who have literally given you thousands dollars like we're the ones who are playing the free base game.

Honestly, I think this has annoyed me enough to not buy another product until something changes.  I'm done. I might play the older games for nostagia. Sims 2 was the best out of all of them tbh.. (the animations have just gotten lazy over the years you don't even have cars pick up your Sims anymore.. whats with that?). 

Anyway, I'm putting this out there incase there are others like me who are just feed up with paying for content and getting ADs & a terrible experience in return.

    Yeah, pretty much stopped playing and buying stuff because of that. Cart button was the last straw. Want me to buy stuff, make the game fun to play, stop annoying me with pop ups and notification. It don’t make me want to buy stuff, it made me drop the game. Now waiting for paralive see if it can do.   

  • ChatGPT isn't a calculator, it's a text predictor with excessive publicity. :/

    That said, agreed- absolutely nobody wants in-game ads. I avoid letting the game connect to the internet unless I really need to use the Gallery so I don't have to see them, but even then I need a mod just to remove the stupid shopping cart button.
