How do I turn off - - -

I believe you can not do this. It is freaking annoying and it offends me as a customer.

Glad I didn't have this pop-up. Can't imagine I have to see occult packs that I don't like such as GTW, Vampire, Strangerville, ROM popping up all the time.

Some said the pop up only appear in certain places, maybe only in US.

It probably is regional and depends what your country allows for this type of advertising. I don't have it happening in my game, I'm in the UK. Sounds like Canadians don't seem to have it either.

It is annoying that people can't turn it off though. Some packs I don't have on purpose. That's supposed to be the beauty of this game, being able to customize it how I want it.

Try playing offline that should end all ads.

I'm seeing the pop-up ad every time I load up the game now when I used to only see it maybe once every 24 hours.

I hope EA/Maxis revert this "feature" of the main menu. The more the ad tries to sell me packs I don't want, the less inclined I am to buy anything from EA/Maxis.

So am I and I have never seen one! This difference alone, clearly they have something going on, turning it on for some but not all. I don't have all the packs either so you would think they would want to turn that on for me? I am by no means saying I want it, I am quite glad to not be included in this, but it makes me wonder why, when it's clearly able to be turned on and off on their end, why we can't have a button on our end to turn it off?

Unless it's because I turned on in-game surveys or something, because of the community stuff pack. Yet every time I have still encountered the survey on the forums before I ever saw it in game.

I have my in-game surveys turned on too, so that's not it. How bizarre!

I really am curious though, why some of us and not others. It really should be optional though, like the surveys. It's a little shady how they just updated it too and snuck it in with a patch.

I also don't have those pop ups people talk about... not that i want it (ha i don't!) but why does some players see it and others don't?

No, also in Danmark where I live. And I don't know why some players don't have it. Does it depend on the settings in Origin?
