September Sale is blocking in game notifications

The September Sale is now on store notification visually blocking the in game notifications and notification wall - have to click it for it to disappear, so I have to open the store every couple of minutes just to be able to see my notification wall. How am I supposed to know if my toddler likes ice cream? Very annoying. Also FYI I have nothing to buy, what  are you trying to advertise to me? Please introduce a way to permanantly disable the store or at least store notifications. This is proper schemer alignment behaviour. 

Sometimes mine won’t even go away! I gotta exit out of the game for it to disappear 

Agreed!! It's ridiculous considering they're advertising it both when you open the EA app AND quite a few times on the menu screen! It's utterly ridiculous, makes me consider downloading those ad-blocker mods just to stop all the pop-ups T^T

I had to switch to a smaller monitor for reasons and also having this issue. Curious if this issue is only affecting me now that I don't have a widescreen. 

Affecting Widescreens too and we shouldn't need the cart anyways, we see the sales when we log in....

This has been a big issue for me. Basically every time I get a notification in game, it give me the September Sale notification along with it. It blocks the in game notifications and I have to manually get rid of it. It is incredibly annoying, especially since we already know the September Sale exists since there is a giant pop up the second you open the game and a notification on the home screen pointing to the buy screen.

Adding my voice to this atrocity. It's not only annoying, it's harassing us for money constantly and I'll be honest here - it has the opposite effect of EA's intentions. It makes me NOT want to spend another dime because EA won't keep it's begging hand out of my face for five minutes. 

I never wanted the shopping cart, it doesn't make sense because it doesn't even work inside the game and I've hated it since it was patched in with no warning. For the love of Sims, please do something. 

This is starting to frustrate me as well. It seems a lot worse since the latest update, and I can't even read the notifications as they come in without having to wave my cursor over the button first. It's impacting my gaming quality-of-life, and making me not want to play at all.

We should not have those notifications in-game! We already get a huge. full screen pop-up when we start the game. If annoying and disruptive. Plus, for me, it makes my speed buttons (1,2, and 3) stop working. EA, just STOP IT! We get it, you have a sale! But you annoying me with it, in-game, is not going to make me buy anything. In fact, it will have the opposite effect.
