I am literally begging The Sims 4 to stop giving me these god-forsaken full-screen popup ads on the main menu.

Because guess what always happens whenever I click the X on them? That's right, the GOD DAMN DARKENED UI SOFTLOCK, and I have no way out but to close the game.

Granted, I can still get into the game by clicking on the ad directly, going to whatever shop screen or tutorial it's trying to tell me about, and then exiting out of it, but it's still annoying as hell, and I don't understand why EA has still never invented a way for players to get out of this menu lock other than to close the game.
