Reaper Rewards as a Scenario

Yo This was Fun!

So While I'm not a fan of events like this making it so you have items limited time only... The event itself was fun for the most part. It would have been awesome to have the grim appear at the end and say thanks or throw a fit once it was done... or even a phone call if that wasn't possible, but that's not what this is about. (Please if you make it a scenario make it a phone call or notification from the reaper!) Fact is the event was FUN. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. I'm also a huge fan of the Scenarios though and worlds like Stranger Ville so that's not surprising. So my thought is, please make this into a scenario. It is something that can be replayed and it was genuinely fun. While the rewards would be great I get why that might not be a thing so here's my thoughts bulleted.

  1. This is pretty much a premade scenario that only needs a few tweaks and the reward could be points or potions... or maybe the cooking reward trait you can buy. Like the Savant or Mentor one from some of the other scenarios?
  2. For the ambrosia news letter thing, just make it researchable on the computer or maybe reading mystery novels? Since Scenarios are base game only at this point it would have to be something base game. Maybe make the newsletter a permanent thing like getting the newspaper in the sims 3 was? Watching a horror movie? Maybe a research death option on the computer or the ask a ghost about death... actually asking a ghost about death could totally work!
  3. We need more scenarios. Its a forgotten feature and I don't think the modding community took much notice... which sucks since we have community challenges and Scenarios are that. This is a good way of reminding everyone that they exist. 
  4. Why put all that work in for this even and then have nothing else from it? Converting it into a scenario with a trait reward or points reward is a great way of reusing that work. Please don't let that effort go to waste! Maybe the brave trait instead of the cooking one? There are options!
  5. My little goth hart was snared by this event, lol. (No I'm not getting that kit, not single corset? tsk!) I hadn't touched the Sims 4 in YEARS. Not even the previous event could get me into it. It's also made me consider buying the Life and Death pack. Not bad, not bad at all, lol. Having a scenario like this not locked in a rewards event might snag some others that didn't like the blatant player number grab this event was designed for. If nothing else its a good option to add or keep some of those player numbers. 

Please don't let this effort be wasted and forgotten! I hadn't played in ages! Years! Snowy escape years! I'm flat out not a fan of Sims 4. Sims 3 gives me way more gameplay and opportunities that Sims 4 just can't match. This has gotten me playing again, even though Sims 4 is a glitchy mess. Still I bought two packs, and one was just so I could enjoy this event. The paranormal pack and its Haunted house lot with the Unscared lot trait is super fun! Much better then ghost gathering! You did the work now lets not waste it. 

Thank you

  • I do agree, it would make a great scenario! I do wish they would make the past ones available to play or add new ones. I enjoy them when I am bored with play and need an idea for a new game. 

  • Couldn't agree more! First because the event was really fun and second because the it played out exactly like an elaborate scenario... which we desperately need more of! Some of the most complex scenarios we have at the moment are 'Aliens Stole My Parents' and 'Family Fortune', and they're pretty easy if you know what to do. Having something that takes a few extra steps like Reaper's Rewards was a lot of fun. Since the whole thing is already made anyway, why not just add it as a permanent scenario? I really enjoyed it, it'll suck if it's just gone forever :(

  • Scenarios in general needs better rewards imo, traits and potions can easily be bought with satisfaction points, rewards such as clothing or bb items that are locked behind completing a scenario would make me more attracted to actually doing the scenarios.

    So turning the reaper event in to a scenario would have been awesome, with the clothing, cas and bb rewards tied to it. Maybe split up the scenario in different parts so all rewards aren't given at once.

    For those of us who are not impressed by things like this, we should have the ability to opt out and not be bothered.
