Okami5482 colej67  Try deleting accountDataDB.package, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  This file holds data from sets of tasks you've started but not finished; it doesn't remove your progress from any set of tasks you've already completed.

If that doesn't help, please post in this master bug thread:

Include the information requested in the first post on page one.

    This worked for me. I was having the same issue (on PC, mods removed due to yesterday's patch) and had the event glitch out on the cooking step. The information was still there when I clicked the rewards popup, but it was grayed out, and the task list was gone. I had tried cooking several foods, but nothing helped. I tried cheating my Gourmet Cooking DOWN to 7, as that is the level the original task asked for, but that didn't help. Your suggestion of deleting accountDataDB.package worked!  It took a few minutes in Live mode, but the tasks popped up, and I was able to complete them.  Thanks so much!

    Edit: fixed a misspelling

    Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!! I've been struggling to finish this week's event. Deleting accountDataDB.package fixed my game and allowed me to finish week 5.

    I do not have this file, and I have the same issue in week five. Now week 6 has started and I am afraid to miss out on the event :( any other suggestions?

        Hi Puzzleaddict, thanks for trying. I did eventually find it and deleted it but unfortunately my problem was not solved.

        I keep receiving the newsletter and the following happens:

        1. I read it
        2. 2. the second quest of week 5 pops up (cook gourmet while level 7)
        3. I cook a gourmet meal
        4. quest stops showing up but no reward points are awarded
        5. only wait for next newsletter shows up
        6. week 6 is there and while before the week's quest were showing simultaneously now nothing pops up just always wait for next newsletter

        Is this still something you could advise on or should I try somewhere else?

        Should I comntact customer service? I really am afraid of missing all the event perks although I followed all the weeks closely.

        Thanks & best regards
