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?

For me anyway, it’s not about “having to do them” but it’s the pop-ups and icons that clutter the screen when the whole point (for me) is to create and structure my own world. It’s a nuisance. The only reason EA doesn’t give us a toggle to remove these “challenges” (the same way we can alter aging or remove storms) is because they were both blatant attempts to market new paid content. That’s the salt rubbed in the wound.
None of the events have contained promotions for paid content.
@jpkarlsen I didn’t say they contained paid content, they were tie-ins with the rollouts of new paid content. Grim Reaper was an obvious tie-in to promote the rollout of the Life & Death pack, and the Cozy challenge… umm did you notice the new Cozy Bundle? EA spends more time trying to persuade users to pay more money for this stuff than they do fixing all the problems they create.
I personally wouldn't mind a toggle to turn off the events entirely for the few that want that but the more free things I can get the better and at the same time have a little fun while doing the tasks. Regarding the Cozy event you seem to have forgotten what time of year it is. It coincides much more with that than a bundle in my opinion but you are of course welcome to have your own opinion. If you want to talk promotions the new purchase button in game fits much better than the events.
Exactly! This is super intrusive and I hate how this large icon looks in my UI. I shouldn't have to play offline to not see it! I want to have access to gallery when I play. We should just have an option to not participate. It's as simple as adding the "display events" or whatever toggle in the online settings. It's super simple. I hate that we can't.
