I get that darned ad every time I fire up the game. I have had some computer heating problems lately so crash and start over depressingly often.
The problem is if I miss the little x in the corner, it opens wanting me to buy the expansion. I x that one also and it goes to a screen that is like greyed out and I can't click on squat so have to restart the game and try and be more careful with my clicking.
My post is not, in fact, the same problem. My problem is when I accidentally miss the X to close the pop up I get the ad for Horse Ranch and when I close that my game is frozen. There is nothing I can click on and have to just close down the game, restart and be more careful with hitting the X's. Pic shows screen is greyed out with nothing clickable.
@PatheticaAttempt It shouldn't pop-up every time in the first place.
Are you using mods ? It could in fact be a mod issue if you have issues clicking it away so there's potentially two issues
1. You get the pop-up each time (this thread)
2. You can't close it --> potentially an outdated mod.
Yes. Yes I am. And yes I tried turning them off. And yes that worked. I am off to sit in the corner in shame.
@PatheticaAttempt Did it also stop appearing ?
Moving this to the mods forum so you can be helped finding the culprit.
Do check the stickied thread for what could be broken.
If you still get it all the time without mods/cc, do make sure to me too that other thread :D

I still get the Horse Ranch popup. But now missing the X and getting the Ad doesn't grey out and make everything unclickable.
@PatheticaAttempt THe usual cause of this is mods that change the main menu. You can confirm that the issue is a mod by renaming your Mods folder and deleting the file called localthumbcache.
