Remove the Cart Button [AUGUST 20th 2025 UPDATE]

Comments

It says at the top of the description that it conflicts with better build as it should have the same function,you might want to remove this mod in that case. Hope that helps :)

Olya_1004

Hey! I love this mod but its conflicting with better build buy i think. i kept getter a incorrect better buildbuy install message but when i remove the remove the cart button it doesn't pop up. i did the 50/50 method.

Kibby

I used to just mouse over the shop once per game session and be good, but now it's popping up every 5 minutes. This is now a necessity for me to play without flipping my lid.

CC

this button has become so much more unbearable recently omg this mod is a godsent. thank you truly

S. C.

I cannot express how deeply I appreciate this

PamIAm Gaming

OMG THANK YOU!!!

torishep

thank you for this. BBB is broken in my game. This works perfectly

FurryTrash23

Thank you thank you thank you for this mod! I like to keep my mods and CC simple, so this one little mod that simply removes the cart button is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!!!!!

Jen

do you know if this works with color ui replacements?

shalise penn

This is very useful because I've removed Better Build Buy because it needs updating. Thank you!

Emelita Rose

Some of my mods were broken from the update. But I went through them systematically, found the troublemakers, and updated as needed. Including this latest version of your no cart mod. The no ad default menu version I had was seriously broken, but I don't know if that's true of your current versions. I removed that one for now but might want to try one of the others for a different look. That home view one looks slick. Has it been updated?

Terry Prothero

Hey! Thank you for letting me know about this! I will be updating my mods starting tomorrow and this one is first on the list!

SimMattically

Hey Matt, after todays update the Menu shows a wrong icon for the Optionsmenu.

MrT

We can’t thank you enough.

Kiwi

Omg it will be less anxious to play. Thank youuuu ! Do you consider to extend this “hide the upselling” mod to the pushy behavior of ea in game ? For example, if a user did not have some specific packs, the worlds and the events related are still displayed with an option “buy this pack to access on it” in game.

Sandra B-Dom

Hey. I tested it and haven’t encountered any issues. Please be aware that BetterExceptions flags multiple UI mods in an exception report when it can’t pinpoint the exact source of the problem. It simply lists all of the UI mods as a precaution. This doesn't necessarily indicate an actual issue. If you're not experiencing any real problems with my mod in your game, you're most likely in the clear. To be certain, try running your game with only my mod installed. If that resolves the issue, you'll know to investigate your other mods.

SimMattically

This mod came up on my BetterExceptions scan for the July 1 update :( I think it's broken.

Alison Smith

It doesn't conflict! :)

SimMattically

does anyone know if it conflicts with vyxated's UI mods?

Maya Carr

THANK YOU THANK YOU TH-

H. Wolfe

I can't thank you enough for this mod and constantly keeping it up to date. I know there will always be those who think I'm exaggerating, but I really am not; I could not play this game without your mod. I know it because I've tried. I originally played it on PlayStation and I couldn't play at all for several months because console versions don't have mod support and console players are entirely at EA's mercy, which there is none. I still don't like playing on PC, but at least I can tolerate it. It still beats the heck out of not being able to play at all.

Isra Kitikoses

love you thank you

Zoe Ley

Thank you so much :)

JenJenLn

Thank you for making these mods that make the experience better, even though I only play The Sims 4 sometimes these days! They actually allow me to play the game as is and minimize my frustration.

Windows Power

Thank you for fixing it so fast

Joanna Krześniak

Thank you for the quick update!! This mod is awesome! <3

C Williams

Hey, yes, the UI mods were affected by today’s patch. I’ll be releasing updates soon.

SimMattically

Hi hi! Sorry if this is the wrong place to send a message. I was surprisingly ahead of the curb with today's latest TS4 update, and it broke this wonderful mod! I think it's due to the new "toggleable on-screen guide" and with the next in-game event coming. Ahh so it goes.

Sydney K

Hey! I tested the mod and everything seems to be working fine. The cart button is gone, and I didn’t encounter any errors or glitches. It’s possible you have a conflict with another mod. Run your game with no other mods but this one and see if it works.

SimMattically

Hi! This broke again with the April 29 update 😭Thank you so much for this mod, it's small but essential!

Phoebe Theimer

I just installed your February 26, 2025 version. It seems to be working well. The first version got a little glitched from one of the recent game updates.

Terry Prothero

If I want pulsating members in my game, I'll get the Wicked Whims mod.

Terry Prothero

I had the old version of this. Suddenly, my build mode was a shopping cart. I despise EA for this! Remember when they inserted a huge, pulsating member in our game last year??? As if paying them between 800-1000€ (if not more) was not enough!!!! "Pay us more!!!" it screamed. Thank you!! This update fixed the issue, so that the "buy, buy, buy" being shoved in our faces is once again gone. I wish I could mod my PS5(PS4) game!

HC Craig

Hi hi! This worked before but it's not working anymore :(. I downloaded the updated one, restarted my computer, etc. but the shop button is still there. Thanks for your hard work!!

Mellyawkward

I love you so deeply for this. <3

Seneca Elaine

This is def one of my most essential mods. I already gave EA too much money they need to stop shoving more packs in my face!

Olivia

Thank you! BBB hasn't been updated yet but I'm already sick of EA's stupid advertising. I'll buy packs when I feel like it, thank you very much. Super stoked to get rid of it

Kat C.

now it shows

kristine

Sometimes Patreon has issues with updating the uploaded files... it shows for me on two different devices, though. 😩

SimMattically

i dont see the filer

kristine

I’ve had BBB for ages and didn’t even realize this button existed in the base game, omg lol. But thank you for being so quick with mod updates (even though I don’t use this one)! Really appreciate your hard work :)

Ash

Needs a new update from the B&H update

It's Me!

Thank you :)

JenJenLn

thank you!! but the gallery is my everything. I just want the tab in live mode gone, tbh, without sacrificing the gallery

˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ VvVeronika ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖

iirc you can turn off the tab in the options by unchecking the online features (check far_monk comment): https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/1foj493/is_there_a_way_to_turn_off_the_grim_reaper_rewards/?rdt=43495

Shiho Ran

Thank you!!!

Phoebe Theimer

Hi! Thank you so much for removing this absolutely bonkers thing! I was wondering - if you take suggestions or have interest in it, could you please remove the event panel from the live mode? The one that's in the left corner, where challenges and ongoing holidays are? I apologize for my english :( This popup thing in the corner is even more distracting, honestly. I hate the events, and don't play them at all. EA don't seem to plan to make an option to toggle this tab off, unfortunately. It's just very, very distracting

Thank you

Omisimmt

Bless you.

daluved1

Thank you sooo much! You're the best :D

𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺

Just updated the mod :) enjoy!

SimMattically

Done :)

SimMattically

I'll join your patreon if you can update this! I don't know if I can play TS4 without it =(

Phoebe Theimer

It would be wonderful if you did <3 I play without BetterBuildBuy :/

𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺

I know that BetterBuildBuy has the same feature, if you need the button gone! I might update my mod soon for the people who play without BetterBuildBuy tho :)

SimMattically

Aw, that sucks :(

𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺

Hey! It's very likely it's outdated, I have never updated it since the first release.

SimMattically

Hii, I love this mod. It was included in my Better Exceptions UI Exception Report. Could you please look into this? ❤️

𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺

Hi! Is this mod compatible with the November 2024 update?

Phoebe Theimer

Thank the Maker - WE NEEDED THIS!!!

Simmin' with MsDSweets

Thank you so much! <3

Ri_Ro

I played the game a bit with the update and the mod installed and didn't get any errors! I think it should be fine. :)

SimMattically

Will the Lovestruck patch released today break this mod?

Ri_Ro

What kind of error are you getting? I tested my mod myself and also scanned my mod with BE and no problems were found. Please run your game with only my mod installed and also without any mods installed and see if the problem occurs to make sure it is my mod.

SimMattically

hiii I just downloaded this but it seems to be incompatible with the current version, I get an error when I try to run the game. I don't think I have any other mods that modify the gametray

Gabriella Conklin

Love you

Nicola

Thank you so Much, You definetly an Angel fighting evil!

Astraylah Spicy

BetterBuildBuy has this feature as well, so you don't need my mod for it :)

Roxanne Stuart

Thanks!

Sejian

OMG I LOVE U

Althea

You're a godsend! Thank you

Ashlee P

THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ now I can update without seeing that ridiculous button!!!

sofia

Thankyou so much for removing this as someone who suffers from epilepsy and also motion sickness I have a feeling this would have triggered one or both of those things to happen either a seizure or just feeling sick, I don't know what EA were thinking adding something like this in. They should leave it upto the players if they want to purchase something not have it literally right up in your face. It's just crazy.

Rachel88

thank you for being a real one

Nathalie

Thanks sm my friend!

Star Zoë

you are iconic and so real for this

claudia caputo
