Not to mention that you cannot fully enjoy any expansion packs because of these in-your-face events. Let's say you just bought the Life and Death EP (using this as an example) hoping you could enjoy what it has to offer, and then having your experience completely ruined by the Reward Event that nags you to do what it wants you to do instead of doing what the expansion pack has to offer. You're basically being ripped off in this matter!
Not gonna lie, these Reward Events that completely take over the game are actually a major reason as to why I refuse to buy ANY Sims 4 DLC anymore, since you can only enjoy it for a certain amount of time until the next Reward Event comes around and ruins everything.
