How to turn off time-limited events
I want to do the Reaper's Rewards quest in one save but I don't want it popping up in every household in every save. How do I turn it off?

I want to share my experience so far with me redoing some past projects. This rewards thing actually hasn't been a very major issue for me, except for the fact that those icons in the top left corner are just...there. And then there's those times after I take selfies when the 'Call Away' prompt just opens itself. Also, when the Newsletter (whatever the full name of it was) would arrive, I basically immediately threw it into the trash and selling it doesn't get you any Simoleons. Nonetheless, at least for me, this didn't cause major disruptions to my project redos.
Not gonna lie, I actually had this same frustration back in June with the Happy at Home Rewards thing because it was always in my face when I just wanted to play the game as is and having these pop-ups to claim rewards I don't want or care about is a headache. I remember being so raged about these pop-ups that I had decided to ask if there was anyway to disable these, but had no luck.
If anyone wants to read that post I made, here's the link:
They really should just stick with SDX updates for free stuff, because you can at least opt out of this if you don't want this. But with rewards events and/or daily rewards, you're pretty much out of luck, unless you do some kind of tough workaround or something.
Now that this headache event is over, with the exception of the Grim Reaper Icon that is said to remain until November 26, I hope they DON'T ever do these reward events EVER AGAIN, especially since you can't opt out of it! For me, these reward events defeat the entire purpose of what The Sims 4 is supposed to be, where the entire point is to do whatever you want and NOT be forced to do specific tasks, but these reward events are a major conflict to what the point of TS4 is! I'm sure there's a lot of Simmers out there who think the same thing. Again, they need to stick with SDX updates if they are planning on offering free stuff, as reward events don't work and no way to opt out, plus the reward events do not help matters at all and are only causing more frustration than ever.
So yeah, that's all I've gotta say.
Have a day.
So annoying.
I thought they said this stupid thing would be finished this week. I log on and it’s still there! Ugh0k today I am officially fed up and disgusted by the whole grim reaper saga, i want to file a complaint to EA. WHY is the Reaper Still in the EA app when i login to play Need for Speed ?
For some reason, the Grim Reaper Icon has finally vanished when I started a new save today (Yay for me, I guess). So needless to say, I don't have it anymore, despite the fact that it's not November 26 yet.
This is a picture for proof it's gone for me (don't mind all the signs).
I genuinely hate how these Reward Events are always 'In your face' and there's nothing you can do about it. Every time I start a new save, which I pretty much always do when I do a new session, I'm literally yelling "SHUT UP!!!" whenever the stupid pop-ups appear shortly after starting a new save! And no, I'm not making this up, I'm being very serious! I can't believe that this is causing me to rage this badly! The Sims 4 should be a relaxing game, but it's doing the exact opposite! I never agreed to do these reward events! It was NEVER the reason I got into The Sims 4 in the first place!
If anything, these reward events love to try and be an unnecessary distraction from the real point of The Sims 4, which is doing what you want at your own desire. The reward events defeat the entire point of what The Sims 4 is supposed to be. And I thought the shopping cart icon was the worst thing they ever added, but these reward events are genuinely worse! Trying to get my projects done in peace is very difficult now.
Thanks a lot EA for turning The Sims into an incredibly bloated mess... 😑
Another thing I wanted to point out too is that whenever I take selfies in-game, the reward event task menu opens up every time I finish taking selfies. It's such a great way to clutter up the user interface... 🤦♂️
