Daily Login Rewards are Confusing
I just found out about the daily login rewards from social media and I'm already confused. There's no dedicated, official Sims 4 announcement explaining them on twitter (at least not that I've found)...
Forum Discussion
For those are unaware, The Sims 4 is going to be adding Timed Events in the form of daily logins. Think of it as a Fortnite Battle Pass, where if you don't login, you are unable to obtain that item at all (unlocker mods notwithstanding). Not only is this a bad idea, it punishes players that might not have a good/unstable/no internet connection or are unable to play every day.
When you teased free stuff, this is not what many players likely had in mind. Free items should be free, full stop. Free the daily reward items!
@Leopardfire2012 One of the items is a 1x1 Compact Bar that matches the Base Game countertops seamlessly. The only way to get this item will be this reward & it will require players to
1. Know ahead of time this event exists.
2. Actually log in during this event on the specific week it's available.
There is no other way to get a 1x1 bar that matches any Base Game or DLC pack countertops in the Sims 4 without mods. So this really forces console players to log in excessively just to claim a single item. It's honestly really offensive to make players play the game on the company's schedule not on our own. This is a life sim where we go to get away from the things that stress us out, like deadlines, arbitrary rules & corporate nonsense.
They made the Sleepover Sleepwear Set free for only console players who had EA Play for 9 months. I hope they don't login event lock this stuff for another 9 months just because they wanted to goose the metrics. And the pre-order bonuses have never been made free or even available again at a fee. I think it's just wrong and I don't like this business model at all.

"And this one is for both Desktop and Console players! @loner_cowplant pointed out a brilliant solution to unlock the new Practice Makes Perfect Trait. Simply click the Randomize button on traits in Create A Sim until the reward trait pops out. And for the Build Objects? There’s a solution there too! Use the new “Event Rewards” filter in Build Mode and add any and every color within the filters to have the new Sims 4 Login Rewards show up."
