EA please stop locking event aspirations/traits/objects after event is over.

Feel free to add your comment as to why your agree or disagree.  I'd greatly appreciate it if we could all be nice.  This is just the way it's always been but I think we need to voice the need for change.  This is my biggest reason why. The event I'm speaking about.... below  pictures, is why... 

Kindness Ambassador (Reward Trait) – Kindness Ambassadors have stronger friendships and fewer Negative emotions.  and unlock the “Challenge to be Kind” interaction to use on other Sims?

Why?  I did this challenge a loooooong time ago and lost literally everything because the EA HELP people back then said my game, which only had a few CC items in it, was 100% corrupted because of cc and with their guidance and help deleted everything Sims 4 off my tower and reloaded everything just as though I had bought everything that day!  There were both positive and negative consequence's but losing this aspiration and trait was and still is,  the biggest negative one for me.  That was the day I vowed to never ever use CC (I have never used mod's) ever again; I have not!   I hear encouragement to use cc & mod when I hear - "let us help you prevent issues with your mod's and cc before an update and then  say in the same breath - we do not support, endorse or oversee cc or mod.  I have seen changes made to the base game to accommodate the use of cc and mod, or at least that's what I perceived was happening.  

The only viable and the easiest way to avoid this particular issue would be to stop locking up access to these event aspirations/traits/objects.   If it's free... it should be free to everyone, always.  Otherwise, it's not really free is it?

  • I also want to mention this fact.  Every time I have an issue in my game, the very 1st question is - have you removed all your cc and mod's. do that and if the problem is still there let us know.  So I see cc and mod as nothing more than an excuse to blame the player for the issue with the game.  Is that harsh?  Perhaps, but it is my opinion and I am not pointing fingers at anyone and I will always refuse to use cc or mod because of this reason also.   One thing I can say about me through all this - since it has been well over 4 or 5 years since I lost the aspiration/trait/bb, to never get it again because of cc.  Hold a grudge much... apparently I do! 

  • I too would like aspiration to remain available. I have a sim whose goal it is to complete all aspirations. Unfortunately she can not do the kindness aspiration because I started this challenge after the event. Others who do this challenge might never get a chance for the sticky finger aspiration because they missed the blast from the past event.

    Similarly some simmers might run into problems when downloading base game sims that use traits from an event. 

    Traits and aspirations should remain accessible for all simmers after an event ends. 

  • IMHO, after any event all rewards should be given free in an update. Those who participate in the events just get the items/rewards first.
