Question about the big pop-ups in Refreshed Main Menu.

Hey guys!

As you’ve probably noticed, sometimes when you launch the game, you get these HUGE full-screen pop-ups with info about events, sales, and DLCs.

My question is – should I try to disable all of them in Refreshed Main Menu, or leave them as is?

It might also be possible to turn off just some of the pop-ups (like the ads), but I haven’t fully looked into this yet, so it’s pure speculation for now.

The thing is, it’s not just ads; they also include details about current events, like the Grim Reaper thing, so that info would be gone too. Keep in mind, this only affects the information about what’s happening, not the actual functionality, which you can still access via the tabs in the upper-left corner of the menu.

Please let me know what you think!

Events? Sure. Ads for packs and sales? No. The full-screen ads are often for something I already own. Not being annoyed by those would be a blessing.

Honestly I would make a separate mod for the people who like to be notified.

Please no. I love the pop ups for the grim rewards, for example. If anything at least an optional file for it so people who want them can still have them?

Turn 'em off. The ads are infuriating.

I def wouldn't mind if these went away they are such a nuisance! If it's possible to somehow get rid of the Reaper Rewards pop up in the actual game that would be great too. I have no interest in participating in this event and the damn thing takes up like half of my screen every time I open a household or lot, haha!

I don't mind the event pop-ups but the ads are ridiculous. We already get adds shoved in our face every time we load the EA app, then they went and added the shop button. At least in the Sims 3 we could toggle off the shop.

Yes, please turn off ads only. I absolutely hate all the ad garbage EA keeps throwing at us.

I hate them so much, I've looked everywhere for a way to disable them, but to no avail.
