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?

@jpkarlsen Then why is it being shoved in my face all the time? Many players do not want the icons and there's nothing you can do about them. The whole point of this game is to do what you want at your own desire, but the Reward Events are a literal distraction that tries to take away the core point of the game.
The icons are there so you can participate if you so want. If they annoy you turn the game offline and delete accountDataDB.package. You will also lose access to the online gallery.
Not resolved yet, no surprise. Stopped playing because of this design flaw with Reaper's whatever. Now, some holiday event has reared it's ugly head, uninvited, buggy and unwanted.
EA, you are missing the point here. Players want the ability to disable these events and NOT see the annoying interface clogging up screen. Essentially, there is no "opt out" option. Going offline is not a solution, it is a workaround. And in so doing, players would lose online functionality. So, Bravo!

@jpkarlsen That is NOT a solution. It really doesn't help matters at all and players should have a choice whether they want the icons in-game or not. It would make a lot of sense if it was a check box, maybe something like 'Participate in Reward Events' that players could toggle if they didn't want the icons in their game UI. EA is being straight-up unfair to thousands of players and it's most likely gonna get worse in the future.
@jpkarlsenYou can’t do this if you’re on Xbox 🙂
But the real question is why should we have to? EA gives us the ability to change weather, aging, delete holidays, etc but we can’t opt out of these manufactured events? Why? Marketing, that’s why.
I never wrote it was a solution. It is only a workaround that can be used while the event is on.
- @nickinbigd The rewards are garbage. PC players can download CC that puts these rewards to shame and cost nothing. Makes EA developers look like a joke! Let us opt out already!
Dear EA Developers
Wouldn‘t it be possible for there to be a seperate setting for the Events. In such a way that not everyone has this directly in the game, as many people don‘t want it. Special only for those who want to take part in these Events.
An Indie Development Studio does it that way too.- @CrypticKam I’m not sure why this is addressed to me. I’m one of the users complaining, not defending EA. I wrote days ago I was taking a break from this game. EA has made me so frustrated
