Pop ups to me are in the middle of the screen and game play does not continue unless I choose something. Jungle adventures added a lot.
The most annoying are the job ones from EL. The toddlers even get them. I can handle notifications over on the side. I delete those every time my auto saves pops on. These EL messages go to all household members who are not even in that Eco career. With a household of 8 I have to respond 8 times twice a day. This has to be a bug or a mod but have not figured it out yet.
Then the parenthood pop ups. I have no use for these and it should be in game options to tick off like fame. I usually do not play with kids or teens because of parenthood pop ups.
To be honest with everyone I almost ready to stop playing TS4. I get so down every time I come to the forum because I am reminded about how much is wrong with this game. I like helping players and love the information/creative side of the forum but most of it drags me down. It's no ones fault. I feel that I have lost my passion for the Sims when I am on here. I either have to give up the forum and just play the game or quit both. I have not made up my mind yet. I have played TS4 almost 6000 hours and it just gets worse. They changed the new expansion pack for political reasons. (basically I feel EA was bullied) I fear for what is coming and what my money for packs is supporting!
