Does anyone use AD Block to play the Sims? Do you recommend?

I use ad block but even with it I still avoid downloading from adfly. Most of the creators have a none adfly option to download their items. Personally I don't like to risk it so if they don't have an alternative option then I probably just live without the items.

Thank you Sharonia. I think I'm taking your advice! :)

I use adblock but find I have to pause on the adfly site. I have not been going crazy with cc because of this.

Ad blockers are great. BUT! I've heard adfly is not the place you want to get your CC from.

AdBlock is a browser-based application. It doesn't interfere with installed games on your computer.

Creators of CC should stop to use Adbly
Malwarebytes block it as malware site

Get a good Internet security program instead. ? That way it can remove any bad downloads or even prevent any.

Adblock is safe to use, but you should deactivate it on sites where you want to support the creator like on youtube because it blocks ad revenue.
You should never download CC from creators who use adfly. Those sites are very unsafe and most creators are aware of that.

Ublock Origin is better, in my opinion, than Adblock. I used to use Adblock but switched in the last couple of years.

Adfly is awful, it has one ad that locks up your computer claiming you have a virus and then puts up an 800 number that is supposed to connect you to Microsoft techs who can “fix” it. It’s a phishing scam of course for credit card numbers. PCMatic claims they block that ad so I bought it. They don’t block that ad FYI. So I had to ctrl+alt+del my way out of it again. So, long story short, if a creator is using adfly, you don’t need their stuff that badly because it could cost you way more than you’re prepared to pay.

When I first started on Tumblr almost everyone had adfly, now I scarcely see it. I’m happy to give on Patreon to those whose stuff I use the most, and donate to others when I can. But adfly is a no go for me.
