Since the last patch I have had continual popups show up on the shopping cart icon, promoting the, Grange Mud Room kit. I used to get a popup every now and again advertising this and that, but now it...
Ideas
I agree the shopping cart is much more aggressive since the latest patch. Before patch I just ignored it being there (it thankfully didn't blink at me) and played my game. Now, well now the cart is constantly trying to get me to buy something, that I already own. Unless of course I open the store of DLC, that I already own and close it, once it actually loads.
Before the patch on 8/19, do you know what happened when I clicked on the cart by accident? It simply gave me a quick message that I already owned everything and that was it. I then went on with what I was actually doing with my sims. Now, well I hope I don't accidentally click on that stupid cart again because it takes forever to load the store window.
The full screen ads when we load the game are bad enough, but this shopping cart change is interrupting my playing. I don't like that at all. It makes me not want to play and not playing means I will just walk away from this game. With all the hours I have spent playing, I've gotten my moneys worth out of it, so yes if/when I feel like EAxis has crossed the line, I will walk away. I'm not saying that as a threat, just a fact.
I shouldn't have to get a mod (that I don't want) to get rid of the shopping cart (that I also never wanted).
I’m on XBox and have the exact same issue. I already own the pack they’re advertising. The ads pop up constantly whether or not I have clicked the cart (and I shouldn’t have to click the cart to stop it). The ads cover notifications.
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t feel like I enjoy the game, and I’ve been a big defender of it. I hate that the ads and the events are taking over the game even when I complete them in terms of the events. I have very little free time to play. I want to enjoy that time. I haven’t bought any large packs because of this. I don’t have time to explore new features and constantly having to click ads to get them to go away ruins this experience.
