1.29 Patch Triggers In-Game Advertising/Purchasing

Since Ambitions, there has always been the chance that future patches and updates could trigger in game advertising. The latest 1.29 patch has turned on an advertising feature for Sims 3 Store. If there is anything you do not have installed, the game will auto-generate a “featured” item for your to purchase.

These featured items come from the newest folder added into the game file: Featured Items
 

❗ This in game option will not appear if you untick “Enable Shop Mode”
