@LadyAofPineappleThis just came in from the broken mods website Scarlet's Realm. The solution regarding BetterBuildBuy might interest many with planting issues.
The suggestion regarding not pausing via MCCC's setting or in any way at all might solve many of the GUI issues.
I guess I have to eat some of my words 🙂 The problems with the Event aren't entirely game code (though I would argue NOT pausing at all to do anything is.)
From Scarlete's Realm:
There are several mods that are conflicting with the new Grim Reaper Rewards Event.
See the info below (thanks to amethyst lilac) for the list of mods that are causing issues
For the Reaper’s Rewards Event:
• TOOL: blocks the rewards
• No Discovery Quests by Frankk: blocks the rewards
• Refreshed Main Menu by Simmatically, maybe other main menu overrides: blocks the rewards
• BetterBuildBuy: turn off Organized Debug and restart the game to complete the planting objectives. It is NOT enough to remove the mod. You must disable Organized Debug or repair the game.
• NPCO by Bosselady: breaks Expedite the Mail Delivery
While the challenge is active (you have or are supposed to have tasks to complete):
• MCCC or any other mod that pauses the game on loading: do not use pause on zone. It will break the rewards UI.
• Do not pause, save, and close the game. It will break the rewards UI.
• Do not pause and go into CAS. It will break the rewards UI.
• Do not pause and do anything else that involves going through a loading screen. It will break the rewards UI.
If your rewards UI is open but blank, do not save. If you have saved, or if you don’t save but it remains blank after re-opening anyway, delete accountDataDB.package from your The Sims 4 folder. You will have to repeat some tasks if you’ve already completed some, but they should be functional (unless something causes them to break again). This will affect your Happy Home Login rewards, which is fixable using other workarounds.
Once you’ve completed this week’s tasks and everything is functioning, it’s recommended to back up your accountDataDB.package file, so that if something happens to the rewards UI between now and when the next set of rewards are available, you’ll have this week’s completed. That is where the live data (what you’re doing now) is stored. The actual rewards (any that aren’t one-time things, like potions or books) are unlocked with your account
