Thanks for showing what it looks like. I was gonna wait for my mods to be ready before updating. Maybe I will wait longer. This means waiting with the cristal creations stuff pack as well, so the shopping cart will delay me buying the new SP? So be it.

I agree, I was going to grab the new pack on Thursday but I’m waiting for now. I have no desire to have something blinking at me, I have to be careful with games as it is because that can trigger my migraines.

Like other folks, I'll be waiting to update until at a minimum modders have gotten rid of the in-game shopping cart. I'll have some soul-searching to do regarding whether I'm going to pick up any more kits or packs until EA gets rid of it.

Gotta love the thought process that says hey, our fanbase is largely neurodivergent. Let's put a large pulsing button into the UI to try to get them to buy the DLC they've decided they don't want. Like, hey, EA, let me introduce you to my pathologic demand avoidance. I will face God and walk backward, etc. before I buy anything through your shopping cart button.

Leaving entirely aside how amazingly opposed to this "shopping cart" I am, I have a question...

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.
  

OK, so we have a button to buy expansions in the in-game UI, "without leaving the comfort of your Sims’ homes" ... but can one actually download, install and use those expansions without "without leaving the comfort of your Sims’ homes"?

Anyone know? @EA_Cade?

This is a great question and I would like to know this also.

Thanks for tagging me! Looking into this now.

Can anyone help? Since updating, my sim self and his wife cannot click on and interact with any other sims in the worlds. Their child sims can interact with their parents and other sims in the worlds. I've removed MCCC and a CC career mod and they still cannot interact with other sims.

Two threads to share your feedback on the new shopping cart icon.

I'd recommend removing all mods, delete the localthumbecache in your Sims 4 folder, and then do a game repair in the EA app. Then load the game, see if works. If it does, your mods probably need updating and shouldn't be put back into the mods folder. Wait for the creators to update, then add them back one by one to make sure they work okay.
