How to turn off time-limited events

If this seasonal battle pass garbage is what we're getting instead of Sims 5, please give us an option to opt out of it.

Every day I am checking to see if this nightmare is over.  I really hope the patch to fix the event will also offer an opt out option.  This is just bananas.

So, first the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of the game UI, then big prompts at the main menu to claim daily rewards, then waiting 8 weeks for a glitched ceiling to be fixed, and now this!? It looks like my predictions were right about The Sims 4 being awful this year. I don't really understand what the Sims Team is thinking. They say they understand the frustration of players and are gonna try and fix problems, but implementing daily rewards doesn't solve anyones problems. Also, this daily rewards thing is such terrible idea, especially for those that do not want to partake in this. This is NOT OK! Good grief... 💔

@AlexvonAuen THIS! That would be a fantastic idea! 👍

EA doesn't seem to care about those who don't want to partake in this. It's incredibly sad to see The Sims nosedive like this...

For everyone reading, I managed to prevent the Reaper's Rewards quest from showing up in a save that had never had it, even though other saves did have it.  If you want to try:

• Load the game and disable Online Social Features, in Options > Game Options > Other
• Quit and remove accountDataDB.package from the user folder
• Load a save that has never "seen" the event

I believe that saves with the event already running will still have it but didn't test every single combination of factors.  So please let me know what you find.

If anyone needs to load a backup version of one of their saves, here's how:

@puzzlezaddict Thank you so much for this tip!! There is no sign of the Event and I can finally play again!

Wow! It worked, even though I used a saved game! Thank you!!

@puzzlezaddict wooo I have to try this and see it if works for me.  One question, does deleting the accountDataDB.package delete the items you obtained from the login event.  Can someone verify.  

I really do not understand why we have to constantly find workarounds when EA could just add in an opt out button.  Events should NEVER be FORCED on us.
