Yes, you can turn it off somewhere in the options. I did it. And then I saw the “brand-new cool feature OMG!!11!” to share your experiences on twitter and facebook. That and the fact that they made the Store Mode default, sealed the deal. (That and the features why I orgiginally gave up Sims 3) I only installed the Base Game(!!!) and still got the “cool” online features of Showtime. You know, the Sims 2 store/exchange/whatever was atleast decent!
