I lost all of My Reaper's Rewards

Hello Community and EA @EA_Cade 

I've just had a nightmare of an issues after the last update, I've had to reinstall all my games multiple times and at the moment, I can play sims only offline.

(https://answers.ea.com/t5/PC/Stuck-on-a-Endless-Loading-Screen-in-The-Sims-4/td-p/14408342)

So during this chaotic time, I had backed up my saves, tray and mod folders, but I didn't know that all the login rewards are tied to file in your folder, and NOT into your account.

I have deleted my original -usersettings.ini.- file from my folder, that has ALL of my Reaper's Rewards Event rewards.

Is there anyway of getting these back?

I was under the understanding that these items are tied to account, not the bloody folder on my computer!?!

I managed to do the Cozy nonsense event on my laptop, while on my holiday, so should get those items from that folder, But I would REALLY LIKE to have my reaper's event rewards back please....

 Does this mean those items are forever lost in the Recycle Bin Matrix?!

Thank you any help.

Cheers,

Tee

    If you earned the Reaper's awards items during the event, they should still be in your game.  The files are tied to your account so they should have been installed along with the rest of the game files, when you reinstalled the game.  Look in your build/buy catalog using the events filter and they should all show up.  To get them to credit to the collection panel, you'll need to place them on the floor/ground in build, go to live and then drag them into a sim's inventory.  Then you can put them on a shelf or display just like any other collectible.

    Hope this helps.

    Yeah, I thought that also.

    But since I've had to fully reset ALL of my files regarding the sims and EA, I do not have these items in anywhere in my possession! ☹️

    I do not have my old usersetting.ini file, either.

    Does anybody know how I can get these items back?

    Or where to / Who to contact next regarding this matter?

    I also have my main game on my desktop PC, but because I was on a holiday away from my PC for the whole time that the Cozy event was running, I now have those rewards on my laptop file, but can I add them to my main account somehow?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Cheers

    I don't know what you mean by reset your files.  As I said earlier, the event rewards should be there on a full reinstall of the game on your computer as they are tied to your EA account, just like the game and any packs you own.  Just copying files from one computer to another will probably not add them to the 2nd computer.  I can understand that if you earned them on one computer and then go back to another computer to play again, that the event rewards will not be there.  It will probably take a full uninstall/reinstall to get them to show on the 2nd computer.  Have you done that?  

    Hope this helps.
