Could we please get a way to turn on or off the new tips feature in options?The new tips feature has become annoying. Is there any way that you could make it so we could turn it of, please? I keep getting the same tips popping up even if I click on the X. I just X'd out of one three times in a row. I have been playing this game for years so I don't need the tips. Please consider this.Thank you.PS. Sorry if this is on the wrong site. It's hard to tell sometimes.

Yeah I turned mine off right away too :)I don't get it, we have a tutorial mode that automatically plays the first time you start the game. Then we have Lessons.Then we have Emily.Now we have Discovery Quests.Advice for newbies is great, but why so many different interfaces for it? Pretty soon they will need a tutorial on how to use all the tutorials :/

@Lenny_Ogg Thank you for that picture. It looks like I didn't look hard enough to find the on off option for it. I'll turn it off in my game as soon as I go back in. I might turn it back on when I start a new save just to try it out, like I did with Emily, then turn it off again.

Thank you for the off option.

I wonder if there even ist any target audience for it. I guess about everything else they might have come up with as a new free feature would have been received way better.I mean they could even just have added another one of the much requested toggles in game options (for abductions, vampire break-ins or whatever).

I think it's just another way to get brand-new players into how the game works.

I think that many people feel like a “tutorial” sounds boring and just want to play. So the discovery quests help with the basics and promise rewards to incentivize newbies to use them.

For us? Sure. But there are still new-to-Sims players, lots of them.

Sure, but the game already has a tutorial. Just seems like they could have spent their time on more pressing issues like the ongoing gardening bug that's been there for years.

It's unlikely to be the same people fixing gardening and researching what new players aren't finding and new ways to help them find them, then developing those.
