[ARCHIVED] Reaper's Rewards: Quests Not Completing
Hey all,
Spinning up this thread to track a potential issue we're investigating related to quests for the Reaper's Rewards event not completing when they should.
Please use this thread ONLY if...
As the Reaper's Rewards event has now ended, this thread has been archived.
Thank you all so much for sharing the information needed to assist the team. Even though some issues weren't able to be resolved by the conclusion of the Reaper's Rewards event, we were able to use that data provided to improve the experience for future events.
As always, we continue to learn and explore how we can provide the best possible experience for all who play The Sims 4, and will use the information in this thread to make decisions on how we can best move forward for future events.
@CreatorSS97 I have questions about what happens even if I delete that file and make new Sims, my Sims had a Death Flower, an angelfish and a pomegranate, and their greenhouse had snapdragon/lily/Orchid (no orchid yet) flowers. One of them had a Death Flower I was going to have her plant it but I waited in case that wouldn't count for a future quest. I'm not likely to find a Death Flower in a shop again, or the angel fish at the Potion Shop. I'm not wasting another 2 weeks finding that God forsaken fish. My two Sims fished everywhere I was told to fish and had fishing levels 9 and 10. I would have DM'ed you, but I must have hit the spoiler button because everything was blacked out and when I tried to remove the blackout, I hit the Spoiler button again which made it worse.
So I have to rescue my Sims because they have every ingredient, except the Potion of Youth which they both had enough points for but I was waiting until it was officially a quest task - so beyond my attachment to them, I need them because they had all of the necessary ingredients. There is no way I'd have time to get all of the ingredients again. like I said to the EA.(people, who have EA in their screenname) why have an event for ambrosia when you can get it off the Gallery? And everyone does it and they know that.
Just like photos were the fastest way to make another Sim like your Sim and it took 8 years for them to nerf it. It took them 10 years before they cared to put skill books in every library. The hot tub gift, a hot tub, that's how they thank players for being loyal to the franchise?!
We should have seen this coming...they said this would be fun.
I seriously did not know that I had tutorial quests active, because I had dismissed Emily, the tutorial Sim in the beginning of the save), it was also a want which is the only reason I went to the library I wish I made machinima, it's the perfect true crime. "2 Young Adult went to the library in Willow Creek, Sim City (Throwback, thank you Will Wright, we love you) and they were never seen again." I'm a college trained filmmaker, if I can find a producer, I could get a live action version of this Greenlit. If I never find my Sims again, at least I have an idea. In case any EA people care to actually read this: These Sims had everything they might need to finish the event and did not get to do it. I know I gave links to my save files in an earlier post but I wish they would look at them because they are eating a whole through my Google Drive storage.
Disclaimer: I do not and will not use One Drive. It's not for uploading and downloading files, it is merely a mirror of the files on your PC and if you delete a file in One Drive you are actually deleting it from your PC. Even if it is told to stop backup of certain folders and you exit it, it is still alive via the Quick Access folders in File Explorer. Therefore, it is best to remove all files from the Quick Access folders and put them in a new folder under This PC, uninstall OneDrive and delete your Quick Access folders because it will still try to access and take possession of your Documents folder and because of that, your Sims folders are in jeopardy. Please note that I am still on Windows 10 because some of the programs I need/use don't play well with 11. So your folder structure may be different. DM me if you'd like more info on why OneDrive is a pain that Simmers should avoid and how to kill OneDrive for good, because I found out the hard way.

@PurpleSweetTart Hi again, I don’t have my computer with me right now and I’m not an EA responsible, but I’ll try to check your save file when I get home. I understand it can be frustrating to let your save file go, but I don’t think it’s necessary. If nothing works and you find yourself having to delete your save file, you can save your current sims to your library or upload them to the gallery to at least keep their relationship and sentiments/milestones (I don’t know if uploading or saving them deletes the milestones though). For their inventory, it will take time but you can create a room and put all their items there (just like how some people share the collections in a room) and save/upload that room or lot to the gallery. Again I am not sure if this will save your whole progress, but it might at least let you keep your sims and their inventory. I don’t know if we can send a direct message (or how we can send dm’s) to members in this forum, but you can try to contact me through EA app as well. Like I said, I’ll try to look at your save files and try to go through the event (but I’m not sure as my event progress and tasks are now probably different than yours) when I get home.
I can’t complete Week 6 to get the last of the rewards. I don’t even have the quest showing up. I’ve deleted files recommended; I’ve created a new family… nothing. Very frustrating.
@CreatorSS97 You can DM me by clicking on my avatar/username and it will show you my profile and you can message me from there. Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I will try them but the event is almost over and I don't know if I can finish it in time. Whenever I get too attached to my Sims I tend to stop playing for a while because I feel like others in my real life wonder what the big deal is and when I try to explain, they either blank out or look at me like I have six heads. No one in my circles really plays games, except my brother who plays Call of Duty and very ironically FIFA (insert proper year here) I take some comfort that my brother will have more FIFA for a long time because I like to imagine that that is where our money is going after the death of Renee. Because we both follow English Football (soccer) League teams. He follows Tottenham, I follow Wrexham, but other than that I've been told I've been weird for liking games for a very long time. I don't know why it still bothers me. Not one person in my life has ever played Sims or even watched a video to see what it's all about. So I "befriend" Simmers that I don't even know, and as you can tell, even with them I am not very popular because I speak out about issues like this. Part of me knows the end is in sight for the franchise, the other part of me will do anything I can to stop it from dying. I just have not found another game that I enjoy and can play without assistance. And not for lack of trying to find another I can play. I like to watch games I can't play by myself on Twitch until I start feeling sad about my situation.
