Maxxis favourites

Hi,

Don't know if this has been asked before but after several pages i never saw the same question as me so i guess its just me or new. anyways...

How do you stop Maxxis favourites from appearing in the home menu/gallery??

Thanks. 🙂

@Adipsycho Hello! Are you talking about the number that pops up on the Gallery button?
This comes from the Online Notifications button which you can uncheck in Game Options. Note this will prevent ALL notifications; at start up and in game. As far as I know, there is no way to block the Maxis faves specifically. So, if you still want notifications from people you have followed, you'll want to leave this box checked and you'll just have to try to ignore the Maxis faves. I leave mine unchecked since I like to check the gallery regularly anyway. When people I've followed share or fave, that still shows up in the newsfeed (along with the Maxis faves unfortunately :-/ )

Hello,
I think you can't delete button maxis favorites from gallery because this gallery will show general.
if you don't want to see maxis curated you can press the button following or another if you want.
If I'm wrong, I'm apologize.
Thank you. 🙂

Hey,
I don't want to delete it just stop it from spamming me everytime i log into Sims on the main page under where it says Start/Load.
An option to opt out of seeing this would be a god send. lol
Thanks for replying. 🙂

@Adi-Caan It sounds like you unchecked the Online Special Features Access. That one gives you access to the online gallery, so you'll only see your library and why the lightbulb changed to a folder icon. The Online Notifications option is the one that brings up those notifications numbers. If you want to access the gallery, you'll want to re-check the Special Features option.
If you want to test the Online Notifications option, then make sure the Online Special Features is checked, then go into the game and save any lot to your library. If the Online Notifications is on, you will see a number pop up on the light bulb in game. You can also go back to the main menu and you will see a number on the light bulb there as well. Then try unchecking Online Notifications in game options again. Go into the game and save another lot. When you go back to the main menu, there should not be any number on the light bulb.
