How to turn off time-limited events

@LuvMySimz To be fair, you kinda gave me the idea to share it.

Just putting this image here. It honestly really shows that EA doesn't seem to care about long-time Simmers and we're supposed to 'be happy' with what they do with The Sims 4, even if they cause players to rage since it's 'in your face' all the time. I'm obviously not a long-time Simmer, but it still hurts to know this is the direction EA is going. 💔

@nickinbigdFor console it would probably work if you do it before the game knows about the event. It's too late for this one but for the next one, turn off the option as soon as you hear about it.

highlighted by me -  Well, it better comes with an OPT OUT button, 'cause cutting ourselves off from in game posabilities is not an option.

@sablesashaLots of long life players are in their mid 30's and late 60's and even older and they darn sure know that. I have the feeling that they want to get rid of those and only focus on the youngsters with all that "kids" stuff they've been adding lately. They care less about the "oldies" they have most of their money already and are aware of that the older generation wont buy anymore of this crap. Youngsters will, for whatever reason.

You do not have to do any of these free events if you don't want to.

@jpkarlsen WE ALL KNOW that we don't have to but that is not the point here! The permanent intrusiveness and huge advertising across the entire screen on most every game load AND the missing OPT OUT posibility from these events that lots of players care less about.

I've been playing The Sims since 2001 and what's been forced on us in this game recently has nothing to do with the actual purpose of the game that we once loved so much.

@IrvingFan2001 

I never wrote it was a solution. It is only a workaround that can be used while the event is on.

@nickinbigd 

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.

@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.
