WAY to many pop-ups in game

They really need a "never show this again" for the one that tells you where to find your screenshots. I have taken hundreds of them, I know how it works by now.

Yeah, they seriously need a "never show this again" option. Thank god I discovered I could take screenshots with Reshade. The screenshot notification was driving me insane.

This started to annoy me in Sims 3, but it got really bad in Sims 4. It always breaks my immersion really badly as well. Add the phone calls in, and OMG - it's quitting time again. I really can't take all that.

For example, I really don't need to know every time a fish lands in my inventory. I already know I told my character to fish, and I know where to see what lands in my inventory. The play-by-play really explains the obvious, there's no need for that. This goes for any activity or endeavor, not just fishing.

I do, however, find the popups for work and school, etc. helpful when I'm playing multiple sims, or focused away from the sim that I'm playing at the moment for one reason or another. Those I don't mind as much.

I've always wished we could get a panel where we could toggle on or off which notifications we would like to get, because a blanket policy either way might affect needed function in one way or another.

Another game I play has a log that you can open and check whenever you want to see any notifications. That would work too, as long as there's no darn popups all of the dang time. It really is super frustrating.

Why is still a thing? It drives me nuts. It's like the game is permanently in tutorial mode.

I like the notifications. They keep me informed on things I miss sometimes.

I never mind notifications, maybe they could have an option to make them not show so those that want them can and those that don't wont have them. Wish they'd done that for invites too, bc I miss those, and don't want notifications to just go away too

I think we get the screenshot notification so that you know that you have taken a screenshot, the text in it is irrelevant. Not that I know myself that I have taken a screenshot because I intentionally lined up my camera and pressed c. *sigh

This is just like those annoying messages that you get when you click "quit game" from the main menu in most games and the game asks you "are you sure?" Why else would I be selecting that?

I do like the ones that keep me informed also. However they tend to get lost in the notification spam. I would give a kidney or have the option of “never show this again.” If you’re having a day of “let’s all up our skills” for example the pop-ups make me crazy ?

Don't forget the phone notifications too! Even if you silence your phone, the pops up for jobs never stop when you have great reputation (because you got friends with your spouse and kids ?) also you get constantly asked for blind dates even you're married, the game needs to evolve..

Oh gawd the phone thing is ridiculous. If you silence your phone it shouldn’t wake you up 3:00 am! I do that with my real life phone
. It’s set to “do not disturb” from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am
