Deck the Palms Login Items still locked

I'm very confused here. Even though the items should be unlocked for login, I am still showing the slides and phone as being locked to "wait until the week starts".

Between the holidays and new job, I haven't had time/been able to login daily. So if I'm understanding this correctly, even though I can log in the next 2 days, I'm still going to be missing these items even though I've unlocked everything else? I really like that there are some pack specific rewards, but I'm going to be very upset if I can't unlock the slide because for some reason it is still week gated even though it should have unlocked almost 2 weeks ago.

If that is the case, then this is a very mean event for people with actual lives outside of playing video games every day. Especially if there is not a way to unlock them later or catch up. Also what happened to the fun little quests to do?

  • You only get one set of unlocks per day, so if you log in tomorrow you’ll get at least the next set. But unfortunately yes, if today was the first day you logged in since the event started, you won’t have time to unlock everything.

  • To get all the content, I read people needed to log in no later than January 4th. That was a message given via social media by the team. Any later, and not all of the content would be unlocked.

    I do have several days already, so if it unlocks the next set tomorrow, then I may be able to get the slides at least, I don't know if I will be able to get the dino magnet though (don't really care about the phone, but I'd really like the magnet)

    And Prov31Simmer, you seem to be under the impression that everyone wastes their life scrolling social media or has free time to even boot their computer (let alone actually login/play a game). Please understand that not everyone is you, and that everyone's situation is different. Life happens; one's virtual sim life does/should not take priority over living one's real life. Unfortunately, that does mean that many people are not able to spend as much time as you do scrolling social media and playing games.

    I was hardly on social media on a daily basis. I only learned about the exact date for this event when I logged in by chance on January 3rd. I actually learned about the date details after watching a few people on youtube. I play video games to relieve stress, because working in retail makes me severely dislike people IRL. Btw, a majority of the video games I have been playing are not titles by EA. I actually play multiple other games instead like a Story of Seasons title, Little Dragon's Cafe, or retro games like Titanic Adventure Out of Time. The only reason my EA account was active over Christmas break was because my teenagers wanted to play on the EA app. I was just passing the information I learned. I actually stopped playing Sims 4 for most of 2025 due to that rain/snow indoors bug they supposedly fixed. I tried again, but now I actually stopped playing due to the needs not filling while sims are away bug.

    As PipMenance mentioned, it did end up unlocking the slides today, so hopefully there is still some time tomorrow to unlock the dino magnet. Thanks for letting me know it unlocks one set a day.
