Reaper Event Bug: Missing Tasks, UI Locked, and Unable to Play—Any Fixes?

I too have the snapdragon/lily bug. No mods though I have used in past. Doesn't matter if I use a new household. I can't proceed with the event. I am so ready to quit the Sims. This should have been fixed. I have no solution but hope someone does or EA fixes it before the event times out. Super disappointed and I have been playing since The Sims came out.
