"There will be no impact to receiving it a bit later as all players will have the full 5 weeks to claim the rewards."
Well 5 weeks is not really a lot of time if you cant access a pc all of the time. What about people who are in the Hospital or somewhere they cant take their pc because they dont own a laptop during this time? What about people wo already booked a Vacation and cant access a pc there ? Its not like we got the information about this event so early that peole who really want the items could have planed around it.
I really dont like this event also.
First of all, Sims 4 was always a cozy game to me. I could play when i wanted. Now this event is forcing me to be at home and use my computer when EA wants not when i want. Thats really not something i want in my life.
Next is, because of my health issues i will go go the Hospital in the next weeks.
So its most likely i wont be able to collect all items anyway.
Since i am an collector and love to use the gallery but hate if i cant download builds because i dont have certain objects, i always buy all packs. And also buy stuff early to get the pre order items. The situation now is really going on my nerves, first because i will not be able to claim the items when in the hospital but i will also always need to Look if these items are used in builds i want to download.
Even througt i always was fair and ordert Packs from EA directly and not in sale because i thougt their work should be paid and i could afford it they are now kicking my Butt by saying : not able to log in during this time ? Well unlucky you. Buy a Laptop then or change what ever keeps you away from this game because we need you to be online when we want it ! Not when it suits you.
The path that has recently been taken with the sims really makes me regret all the time and money i put into the game and that i always tried to support the people that keep making my favorite game.
Because obviously they only think about how they can put us under better pressure and squeeze more money out of us, and at the same time the quality of the game seems to be becoming less and less interesting.
Also i dont get why the items are tied to the computer and not the account.
The game has so much problems recently that i had to reinstall it several Times since last year (whats also often recommendet from Support if you have bigger issues)
So the items would be gone anyway if i have to reinstall and delete everything or get a new pc.
