[CLOSED] [FFQE] Event Tab not showing/Event not active

Hello,
Today is the 24th of sept., the event was supposed to start yesterday, but I still got nothing.
Is there an issue I am not aware of? I am supposed to check or uncheck something in the settings?
Does anyone know anything that could help me?
Thanks a lot!

Note by crinrict

For the event to properly show, make sure all these conditions are met

  • You play online.
  • Your game is updated to the current patch (1.118.242/2.20)
  • Online Social Feature Access is ticked in your game options

  • Hi, have you got your 'online social features access' setting turned on in the 'other' tab of options? I think you need that selected to access the event 😃

    HI Babypotat0s​ 

    that's good to hear.

    You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.

    First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.

    Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.

    You will need the following folders

    - Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
    - usersettings(.ini)
    - Screenshots (if you've taken any)
    - Videos (if you've taken any)
    - ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
    - Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game)

    Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game.

    All other files are recreated and not needed.

    I opened my sims game for the first time in about six weeks, updated the game with the latest patch expecting to open the game and start the forever friends event. Except it didn't appear and the events tab button in the top centre isn't there either. I've removed my mods, repaired my game, restarted my laptop. Pretty much everything I can think but nothing is working. Help

    Hi i tried these things and i still can't access the event... i have tried everything.. i need help asap as i love the events 

  • Since the start of the event it's not displayed on my homescreen and in game, is there anything I can do about it? (already removed mods, but still doesn't work)

     

  • Mims2108​ PaigeLHainsworth​ iamaw3esome​ If it's not too late, I have one more solution for you to try. I tried to start the event yesterday and it was missing/the UI didn't show up at all. I had tried every solution offered in this thread as well and nothing worked until I stumbled upon a separate thread here. crinrict​ suggests moving Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > accountDataDB.package to Desktop or another location on your computer and restarting the game. I did just that and it solved my issue, the event UI finally appeared and I was able to play through the whole event and earn all the rewards. I hope this works for you as well, best of luck!
