Cozy Celebrations Rewards Event: December 3-January 10

Hello! I am a huge fan of the sims and I have been playing since Sims 1 when I was 15 years old. You could say I am addicted and I have been a customer for life 😂

...but not anymore.

I currently own Sims 4 on Xbox Series X and I own every pack/kit, except for the last 2 kits that released. Since I do not have access to mods, I used to look forward to new content, even if it wasn't my favorite. The Reaper Event actually sounded fun at first and the exclusive BB and CAS looked amazing. That feeling of optimism changed quickly to frustration after the Reaper Event began. Not only did the event feel like jumbled fetch quests and very lackluster, but the event broke after week 3 for me. Even after following the troubleshooting instructions provided by EA_Cade I was never able to participate again. 

Trust me, I tried everything. I was reinstalling my game daily at one point. I checked the forums and social media with high hopes, but nothing useful. I gave up eventually, stopped playing as much and didn't buy the last 2 kits, hoping EA would realize the error and make things right...but they never did.

Instead, for weeks I watched influencers on PC have no problem completing the event and show off the exclusive content. Sure, they acknowledged a few players had issues, but then would quickly move on to continuing to promote a broken game. Meanwhile, I received consistent pop up notifications about the Reaper Event every time I booted up the game... but never the items I so desperately wanted and clearly tried hard to obtain.

Moral of the story? Do not give EA your money anymore, not until they start fixing major issues...like the events.

If they issue the items to everyone and make an official statement/apology, then I will consider shelling out more of my hard earned dollars. Until then, not another dime...

...so, could EA please do the right thing? Could they please be good to their loyal fans? Protect this product? Or will they destroy the Sims 4 by accident and be forced to make Sims 5?

Either way, I feel robbed and I miss my happy place. Sims 4 was my refuge and now it's a deluge of bugs and broken events. I will continue posting about these issues in every forum and official social media post until EA makes a statement and makes things right. I may just have to join discord again and start ranting there too! 🤬

FIX IT DICE/MAXIS/EA ...please 😭
