How to turn off time-limited events

I don't want to participate in this event at all. But I cannot turn it off or hide it. Funny, for the first two days of the event I couldn't get the event to pop up for me at all, and now I can't get it to go away. Is there a mod or something that hides the event so I can play in peace without a constant on-screen reminder of an event that doesn't work properly and I don't want to participate in? It's in the way, immersion breaking, annoying, and it actively kills my desire to play The Sims 4 at all. I was going to play tonight but once I loaded into live mode and saw the popups I closed the game and decided to just not. I can't do eight weeks of this. Please release me.
