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
Having the daily rewards time-locked to specific real-life dates is a really, really bad idea.
Here's why;
Firstly, it basically locks what is supposed to be FREE content from new players, should they unfortunately pick up the game a few months from now, and those items are already way gone on the roster of new items.
Secondly, and what is specifically really important to me, is how it's going to alienate disabled simmers like myself. Due to various medical conditions, I do NOT have the energy to hop on the Sims every single day to hit a quota. Which sucks! Because I love the game, and I love when new content comes out, but I have more important things to handle in my day-to-day life than collecting Sims content from time-restricted events. This also applies to Simmers who have jobs, or families, or other real world obligations. We can't all live on the game full-time.
Instead of having it locked to real dates, make it something that is available permanently for people to slowly build up their logins to collect.
The real world is already inaccessible enough for disabled people. We don't need to add videogames to that.
I just learned about the upcoming locked content and I am truly disappointed and angry. I completely agree with your comment and I hope more of the community can come together to make sure this doesn't become a regular thing. The locked content from previous releases is infuriating enough, now they are basically putting pop-up ads on a game I've invested so much money into. There are accessibility challenges and a general feeling from the community that this model is just adding stress to something that is suppose to be fun and stress free. Please EA listen to the people that are playing your game. Do not do this! In the last 24 hours it's clear how the community feels about time sensitive locked content and it's not good.
This, the whole reason I play asynchronous games like Sims 4 and Stardew Valley is that I can play whenever I feel like it, without having to stress about logging in every day. I've spent a lot of money on this game, but if they really do decide to move forward with these time-sensitive features, I'm gonna have to drop it.

Exactly. This kind of thing is why I can’t enjoy mobile games.
Give me some offline, solo game. - @bunnyziebowicz I quit fallout 76 for that exact reason. I hated the idea of missing out on one or two items, so I quit yhe game and never went back.
Really hope sims don't put me in the same position seeing as they have had so much money from me over the years.
