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?

    simsplayer818​   The cheat was different than the one I had in my notebook from years ago; I have changed it.  There was no _ between the last 2 words.  I have also noticed that some cheats have actually changed and somehow it depends on ???  as to which work.  I also tried to do it offline.  Tho we have fiber internet - there are 5 of us using the same internet wi-fi for so many things 🤯 now!  My game actually plays better offline vs online.  Thank you for sharing the cheat you know about. It did work! 

    Still would like the aspiration!

    rujuta4me​ You're welcome. I checked it a couple of times because the cheat that comes up in a web search is different. I went back to the cheats list I use to look again.

    Agreed. Especially since they're too lazy to code the collections page differently for those who do or don't have the reward collections, so instead the objects are there in the collections page taunting us with things we physically can't get. It feels unethical. 

  • I would love to have another sim complete the Positivity Challenge and receive the Kindness Ambassador trait.

    spacemunkypantz​ you can physically get collections in debug. Using bb.showhiddenobjects, and bb.showliveeditobjects, including the ones for the challenges mentioned in the OP.

    simsplayer818 I found the posters (albeit locked), but the freezer boneys are completely unavailable yet still in the collections page. I can't speak for the later events as I was able to do them.

    spacemunkypantz​ if you move your Sims out temporarily the posters should be unlocked. I add them to vacant lots before I move in any Sims and everything is available to use. The Freezer Boneys would only be available if they were claimed during the event though unfortunately.
