Cozy Celebrations Rewards Event: December 3-January 10
Forum Discussion
For those who do not want to participate and/or don’t want the items in their game, here is a solution that puzzlezaddict on the forums shared when the Reaper event was going on.
Please keep in mind that you will not be able to access the online gallery, while the feature is disabled, which wasn’t a problem for me because I play offline. When the event is over check mark the Online Social Features box again and you’ll have access to the online gallery again. Keep in mind that the sims team can always end up giving everyone the items anyway like they did with that first event since the items disappeared when one started a new save. Hoping that they fixed whatever the issue was that caused the items to disappear when a new save was started.
Step 1: Open Options > Game Options > Other > Disable Online Social Features Access by unchecking the box.
Step 2: Quit the game and delete this file—accountDataDB.package which can be found by going to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. (This file contains data from your interim progress on the tasks but not the rewards you've earned.) When I reloaded the game, the Reaper icon and everything else that comes with the event was gone.
I wasn’t interested in the Reaper event because I’m not into that type of gameplay. When I followed those instructions, it worked perfectly.
Ive used this method w the reaper quest and it worked perfectly. I also do not use the gallery much as i have all i need in my library! This is a great "how to" for folks that didnt know about this option. But i am hoping the devs can make it proper and we can still opt-out and continue to use the gallery.
