@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.

This is a ridiculous amount of work for players, who expect the game to work without them having to reinvent the wheel every time something does not work as it should. I'm personally too busy in my real life to do all of this. Sad, because I have all other cozy event rewards. But, this is a new character that I just created this evening. I cannot even get the Festive Frame TV yet, because she simply doesn't have the extra cash lying around. She did buy an appliance and made hot cocoa and hot cocoa with marshmellows, drinking both of them. 

The game should be able to recognize this.

Furthermore, I just re-installed my game very late last night. My computer had crashed yesterday and I had to completely reinstall Windows. Then reinstalled this. Then created a new character.

I think those are enough hoops to jump through. It certainly ate up a good 12 hours out of my life already, and shortly before Christmas.

Please either make the game work correctly, or let's just leave these events out.
