How do I opt out of the Reaper event?

I agree! I do NOT want this in my game it should be optional 

I realized I clicked on the check mark, hoping to learn the details to see if I would even be interested. There wasn't any such option. Now, I, too, am stuck with the popups. I'm currently in the middle of a storyline I am sharing on this site. So frustrating. If I break to finish the tasks I have absolutely no interest in, I lose valuable playing time. For me, the whole thing is a lose-lose proposition.

I encourage everyone that wants an option to opt out to post in this thread at AHQ

I'm in the exact boat, I have never felt the need to come on these forums and complain however it's the fact that even after removing my mods and cheats and trying to do the same thing you did in a throwaway save but none of the achievements would update so its overall useless to keep trying. All my occult sims are super laggy and have been dysfunctional since the challenge started, they shouldn't push things that aren't fully functional on us even if they see it as "generosity".

I have had to stop playing The Sims both on my PS4 and PC! How much longer? I'm not interested in paranormal of any kind, why can I not have a choice of how to play a game I've paid so much for? 😡
