Event Feedback

Question

Here is some feedback on the events in the game.

Like

I like how the last event gave choices
There are unlocks for older packs so older packs get updated with new items.
The interactions with the event NPC.
There are different types of events. I like the login events the best because the tasks for the other events aren't good.

Don't Like

The event stories pop up as a notification. It should pop up in the middle of the screen so it can be easily seen and read after completing a task.
The events need better tasks than watch tv or travel to a location.
The events can't be replayed. Some of the events should become scenarios so players who enjoyed the events can replay them even if there aren't prizes.
Events prior to the items being binded to the EA account have the items locked in CAS and Build mode. These objects should be unlocked so players can enjoy them.

General Ideas

Make the odd job system from Island Living base game and have tasks for an event run through this system. The system is similar to what other cozy games have and I think it would work really well.
Add more crafting, cooking, and collecting to the events. I don't feel involved in the process when my Sim has to watch TV to complete an event task.

I will edit this when I come up with more ideas.

I hope we can get a new event soon. There aren't any new packs being released and I'm a little bored. The next patch isn't coming with enough gameplay. I had AI flesh out one of my event ideas. It seems more interactive and better than the events the Sims team puts out. This is what it came up with:

Event Title: “Heat & Hype: Nightlife Unleashed”

Tagline: Feel the burn, steal the spotlight, and turn back time.

Event Premise

The Sims world is gripped by a new dangerous nightlife craze: inferno parties at underground clubs, combined with a rise of freelance stylists charging big Simoleons for look transformations. An enigmatic alchemist offers age-defying secrets — but only if Sims complete the weekly challenges.
