Anyone else getting browser ads related to their sims' lives these days?

The other day my sims went on a couple of dates and one of them worked on his university degree.

That evening, some browser ads popped up on my computer for dating sites, and for-profit universities to "help me finish my degree".

Those ads are not for me. I'm in a long-term established relationship and haven't dated new people in several years. And I got all the degrees I was going to get, several more years before that.


Those ads were not for me because they were for.... my sims :o


I have also noticed ads popping up for clothes or furniture similar in style to those my sims are using, even when not similar to the style I use in real life.

Spoiler

I mean, I know we all click on "agree" to these policies that allow use of our in-game actions to determine what gets sent to ad partners... but still is a bit creepy to see in action!


Anyone else getting things like this happening?

  • Not ads like that but have been getting ones for new and sometimes not so new TS4 packs. Also for TSR and game mods. Articles about and guides for TS4 have also been getting more frequent.
