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 :)

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.
CC
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.

PamIAm Gaming
I cannot express how deeply I appreciate this
torishep
OMG THANK YOU!!!
FurryTrash23
thank you for this. BBB is broken in my game. This works perfectly
Jen
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!!!!!
shalise penn
do you know if this works with color ui replacements?
Emelita Rose
This is very useful because I've removed Better Build Buy because it needs updating. Thank you!
Terry Prothero
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?
SimMattically
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!
MrT
Hey Matt, after todays update the Menu shows a wrong icon for the Optionsmenu.
Kiwi
We can’t thank you enough.
Sandra B-Dom
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.

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.
Alison Smith
This mod came up on my BetterExceptions scan for the July 1 update :( I think it's broken.
SimMattically
It doesn't conflict! :)
Maya Carr
does anyone know if it conflicts with vyxated's UI mods?

THANK YOU THANK YOU TH-

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.
Zoe Ley
love you thank you

Thank you so much :)

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.
Joanna Krześniak
Thank you for fixing it so fast
C Williams
Thank you for the quick update!! This mod is awesome! <3
SimMattically
Hey, yes, the UI mods were affected by today’s patch. I’ll be releasing updates soon.
Sydney K
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.
SimMattically
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.
Phoebe Theimer
Hi! This broke again with the April 29 update 😭Thank you so much for this mod, it's small but essential!
Terry Prothero
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.
HC Craig
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!
Mellyawkward
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!!
Seneca Elaine
I love you so deeply for this. <3
Olivia
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!
Kat C.
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
kristine
now it shows
SimMattically
Sometimes Patreon has issues with updating the uploaded files... it shows for me on two different devices, though. 😩
kristine
i dont see the filer
Ash
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 :)
It's Me!
Needs a new update from the B&H update
JenJenLn
Thank you :)

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

Thank you!!!

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

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

Just updated the mod :) enjoy!
SimMattically
Done :)
Phoebe Theimer
I'll join your patreon if you can update this! I don't know if I can play TS4 without it =(
𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺
It would be wonderful if you did <3 I play without BetterBuildBuy :/
SimMattically
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 :)
𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺
Aw, that sucks :(
SimMattically
Hey! It's very likely it's outdated, I have never updated it since the first release.
𝓓𝒂𝒏𝒊 ✧₊⁺
Hii, I love this mod. It was included in my Better Exceptions UI Exception Report. Could you please look into this? ❤️
Phoebe Theimer
Hi! Is this mod compatible with the November 2024 update?
Simmin' with MsDSweets
Thank the Maker - WE NEEDED THIS!!!
Ri_Ro
Thank you so much! <3
SimMattically
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. :)
Ri_Ro
Will the Lovestruck patch released today break this mod?
SimMattically
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.
Gabriella Conklin
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

Love you

THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ now I can update without seeing that ridiculous button!!!
Rachel88
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.
Nathalie
thank you for being a real one
Star Zoë
Thanks sm my friend!
