Heh , I was thinking about you at the moment I saw the notes.

I just went in "clean" and everything loaded up fine. Mods next.

There's a new thing - a Discovery Quest for skills. UGH. The game's been around for 10 years and I've been playing for over 4 years...don't appreciate the Discovery Quests, much too late for most of us. So I have to remember to opt out or I spend half my time closing them up, then getting yelled at by EA prompts for doing so!

I am hoping someone will make a mod to get rid of it altogether. ?

A shopping cart to buy expansions in the in-game UI? Seriously. I am offended. I am extremely offended.

Yeaaaah. I saw that in the patch notes and immediately filled with dread. I cannot stand in-game shopping carts or purchase marketing in my face all the time. This is one of the things that bothered me immensely about Sims 3.

Does the cart button show up consistently while you play the game or is it only on certain screens?

Strange that the hello doesn't include all languages in which the game is available.

What’s New?
In this update you might see a new button in the top right corner of your screen.

This cart emblazoned button has many uses ranging from sharing pack offers and sales information to recommending packs you might be interested in. All accessible without leaving the comfort of your Sims’ homes.

...

Does anyone have a screenshot of this new icon? Is this the start of adds for packs in the game itself?

Welp, I’ll be skipping this update for the time being. I think the shopping cart will annoy me more than the holiday bug, and I have to wait for mod updates anyway. And a new mod to get rid of the pulsating shopping cart, apparently.

Ugh... Yeah... And it starts repulsing after a while even if you clicked it already. Very annoying.

What has me concerned is that the "cart" button could be a precursor to microtransactions in the game.
