What? another one already. The grim icon only disappeared yesterday! The sims team sure wants to keep the pressure on. So no relaxed playing the sims in december. I realised we would be getting more of those events but I was hoping to get a few weeks in between to enjoy the game at our own pace. 🙁 I miss when the sims was a game that we could play at our own time with no FOMO driven tasks.

I couldn't believe this when I first saw it. Seriously? The last one hasn't even ended yet!!! I don't want to be pushed into gameplay and the UI is annoying me to bits. I hate that it cuts into the screen, opens up when I don't ask it to and blinks. Can't it just be in scenarios where you opt in? Or at least give us an option to opt out. EA, listen carefully, forced gameplay is NOT fun. Let me choose!For those who are excited and think this is fun, I'm happy for you, I don't begrudge you your fun, just let me opt out.

Shouldn't they iron out the issues with reward events before starting another one? Because there were an alarming amount of people who couldn't even play them. Heck, look at the bug reports and see how the game is falling apart right now.

I am so NOT interested in this that I am logged back into these forums for the first times in weeks, if not months, to say that I'm not interested in this.If I wanted to play scenarios, I would choose to play scenarios. I don't. I therefore sincerely hope that this comes with an opt-out (or better yet, active opt-in) option.

I cannot express how angry it made me logging in today to have this full screen ad slapped across the whole dang screen. I just cannot get behind these events, at all.If these were scenarios I wouldn't mind but they are not. The last event was basically a malware worm.It brute forced it's way into every save file we have without permission, held our games hostage for weeks, created more bugs than the rewards promised (that is assuming you would have given permission to join the event) & could not be disabled even if users did not want to "participate".As someone who works in tech with a focus on security these events are user hostile to a point of being revolting.I understand some people are very excited for this sort of event & as someone else said, I'm happy for you. However from a user friendlyness perspective these events need to be opt out. Not a single one of us signed up for a Battle Pass style game in 2014 10 years & $1,000+ ago. Changing your business model to this extreme midstream release is a good way to make just about everyone unhappy in some way.I think we really need to ask, why do they even have scenarios if events like this are going to be forced now?

I enjoy these events and am looking forward to this one. It's really fun getting new things for completing a few goals. No complaints from me.

The reapers rewards broke for me. Sims team kinda promised they were looking into a fix on the bugs forums then at the end they just said sorry we couldn’t fix it in time, and now they’re wheeling out another which most likely will break again.
The game just wasn’t designed with this in mind, players are telling them they don’t want it, but they just keep pushing forward with it. Presumably for money but it’s kinda sad. Most players don’t seem to want this and time would be better spent fixing existing bugs surely.

The last Event ended on November 19th, a week before this post was even made.
There is no forced gameplay, you don't have to do anything you don't want. If you dislike the Event, you don't have play it at all. You can opt out.
