At the moment, I'm having issues with the invite 3 people over to current lot task. I've done it through the phone as a group and the relationship panel individually. Cleared some files, now I'm going to try a few other things if that didn't help. *sigh* I even waited until they all showed up to make sure it didn't require them actually coming.

Same. The reason is wasn't working was the 'invite sims over' task was named incorrectly. You need to have sims dancing at the same time!Someone should introduce EA to concept of testing before churning out rubbish for money.

I’ve been having the same issue and the only difference is is that I’m on Xbox so I don’t really know what to do to properly fix my issue other than possibly making a new save and trying it there. I am also the same way with the hedges~ I think they are super cute and I want the new trait. I just had my sim try and do it again And it still didn’t work. I tried it with another Sim and it still isn’t workingi’m going to try a new save next.UPDATE: I tried a new save but nada , nothing changed BUT on the bright side I got 24 achievements I didn’t ever get to get til now because I used cheats~ so I guess something good came out of it!

In my game, the "Invite Sims Over" goal changes to "Have Sims Dance at the Same Time" when I renamed my mods folder.

@boopish To my knowledge it should work as it did for me. I followed Crinrict suggestions to prepare for this event. I would advise doing this to help ensure your events are as successful as possible.

https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2024/11/cozy-celebrations-event/

In following Crinrict’s suggestions, I made a whole new game by saving my original game (Saves folder, Mods folder, and even my Tray folder) to one folder location on my desktop for safe keeping and making it easier to find later or you can save them onto an external drive for temporary keeping and not taking up more space on your computer.

Then make sure you remove your localthumbcache.package file in your Documents> EA Folder> Sims 4. This will ensure any memories retained of mods or cc is removed.

The exceptions I made from what Crinrict suggested, for one… is I didn't rename files for the new saves, as all event unlocked items are saved directly to your account itself. The second exception is not taking a Sim from the Galary to use, as I created my own to ensure I meet the requirements for this game to work successfully and more easily to build up the necessary skills you will need to get these goodies. I made sure my sim had traits of being a cook, was creative and loved music and is a foodie. For likes I made sure they had a love for music, cooking, baking, mixology, etc. *** It is wisely recommended by Crinrict not to add infants/toddlers, pets, or occults as they can muck your game up as well.

I know it may seem like a pain to have to build up your new sim's cooking, music, and mixology skills which will be needed for these rewards. But I have done this already and it doesn't take long at all to do. Plus, EA is making sure everyone will have enough time to complete this event because it is the holiday season and they realize we all have busy lives this time of year and… to ensure everyone has fun doing these events instead of it feeling like a chore.

I hope this will be of help to you.

@boopish I merged this with the collection for tasks not competing.

Did you delete the localthumbcache as well as accountDataDB.package ?

~~I deleted both these and its still not completing the task :/~~

Nevermind, it took 3 attempts at deleting for it to work, not sure what was going wrong but 3rd times lucky!

I wanted to complete another point of the event today (Discovering Traditions - Part 1 - Looking into the Clouds or Stars) but it's not working. I have also deleted all the cache files and it still hasn't helped. I wanted to ask if you could help me. The task cannot be completed although I have done exactly as it says.

I hope I'm posting this in the right thread. My issues isn't with the cloud gazing (though that took a kid in the treehouse to finally complete), it's with watching TV.

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100%
What is your current game version number? 1.111.102.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? More then likely do what others do & play the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Doing said objective of the quest will not complete the quest
What do you expect to see? For the quest to be completed once done
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No. Removed before I loaded the Sims 4 to do the Cozy Celebrations (as learned in the Reaper Rewards)
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I suppose so? It started after Cozy Celebrations started.
Please describe the patch or change you made.
My specific issue with Quest 3 not completing. It will complete the drink task, the cookie task, but get stuck on watching tv quest. I have had multiple sims over to watch tv. I've watched tv by myself. I've gone to other lots - residential and other types with and without other sims coming along. It will be on 1/2 then the tv show is over and it will go to 0/2.

I have deleted all files recommended. I have started a new game. I've repaired my game. I've made it so only the basic Sims 4 game was playable. I have even went back & added my mods back to see if it helped for some odd reason. Doesn't matter what save I play it in, I get stuck at watching TV.

@crochetjessica Did you watch a movie or TV (just to be sure) ? For me it fulfilled after the show.

I created a group and then choose watch together. Did you do that too ?

This message has been completely updated and changed. The event was not originally popping up but now it is again, but on the bright side is that it’s (the event) has restarted. I still have the progress for getting the stuff in the event. So I’m hoping by doing the steps that I’ve already done for the first week and I won’t have any more problems.

And after playing for a couple of minutes and trying it out and getting all of the other steps done, the cloud gaze is still not working ;-; i’ve given it time, i’ve moved the mat. I’ve made sure that all of my sims needs were met and I’m just really at a loss for it.. idk what to say other than it just isn’t working ;-;
