September Sale is blocking in game notifications

For the love of GOD please REMOVE the "September sale is on" banner that pops up every second in game. The full page ads at the home screen of the game, the ads in the EA app itself are ENOUGH! I do not want to be bothered with your advertisements while i am ACTIVELY playing my game. It's also annoying for creators who are recording as they play. Its a nuisance, it covers the notification wall, so you always have to move it away to read what's going on with your Sims. Please stop with the incessant advertising during game. 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

    Hey guys, I posted this 11 days ago out of frustration truly and went about my day not even thinking anyone would see it. Or that anyone was having the same issue. I actually only came back to report or look for reports on something else that's annoying me currently and saw all the responses. I've been playing since and I'm just now realizing, like you know what I haven't been seeing that annoying pop-up sale banner. Don't know how long it took them to tune it but clearly it was so quick I didn't realize it. I appreciate EA for the quick response, and I appreciate all of you for sharing your annoyance as well! LOL

    Didn't see this one before I made my report. But I totally agree with you. Theres no need for a cart in game, when I can shop and buy what I want before I even start playing. Which makes way more sense. 

  • A workaround to this is to play offline, FWIW, however, I don't believe we should have to do so to stop being inundated with ads constantly

    Yesterday my game crashed when I x'ed out of the full-screen ad. It was fine after I reloaded it, but disappointing.

    This issue with the September Sale pop-up has been resolved in a previous update.

    If you're still experiencing issues with other pop-ups interfering with your game, please post in the current bug report here: Frozen game/menu after ad
