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?

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.
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... 🤦♂️
I can't imagine how much worse The Sims 4 is gonna be in 2025, especially since it really became a bloated mess this year. The shopping cart icon, the Reward Events that you cannot opt out of, and the full-screen prompts at the main menu all have really made it self evident that The Sims 4 is bloated. Also not to mention that I'm one of those players who PAID for The Sims 4, so I should NOT have to have pop-ups and unnecessary icons shoved in my face, which if anything feel like YouTube ads.
