Reaper's Rewards Event: Now Live!

Reaper’s Rewards Event

Work with Grim to discover the secrets of Ambrosia, earn Event Points, and unlock bone-chilling rewards!

Get ready for a free, limited-time Event where you'll need to venture into Live Mode to participate.

The Grim Reaper is reaching out to you…but don’t be afraid to answer since it seems Grim wants your help. And the best part? You'll be rewarded for your efforts throughout the Event, with one being a brand new Lot Challenge, Scare Seeker, where Sims will get excited instead of scared while on the lot!

How Does it Work?

Open Live Mode with an existing or new Household. After a short wait, The Grim Reaper will call upon you!

The Event will run for eight weeks, with two exciting Quests each week. Your journey begins by assisting Grim with researching Ambrosia, a special Gourmet dish that can lift any Sim’s spirits. As the weeks progress, you’ll continue to unlock the secrets of Ambrosia and eventually learn how to cook it! The more Quests you complete, the more Event Points and rewards you’ll earn.

  1. Make sure you’re online. Log in to your EA account.
  2. Enter Live Mode, and you’ll see the first pair of Quests, which start with a pop-up. In Live Mode, you can access the Event Screen by clicking on the Event Icon!
  3. Earn Event Points by completing Quests and Goals. As you earn Event Points, you’ll be able to claim new rewards.
  4. Claim your rewards through the Event Screen in the Main Menu or Live Mode by selecting Claim. Note: You must be in Live Mode to claim Consumable Rewards.
  5. Claimed rewards will be available in Build ModeCreate a Sim, or your Sim’s Inventory. You can filter to view Event rewards with the Event Rewards filter under the Special category in both Create a Sim and Build Mode. For more help with claiming rewards, check out our EA Help article. 
  6. Each week, two new Quests will be available. Complete these Quests to earn more Event Points and unlock new rewards!
  7. The Reaper’s Rewards Event will have six weeks of Quests and two extra weeks at the end, so there’s plenty of time to catch up and complete it!

 

Claim the Reaper’s Rewards to create a goth-chic Sim who revels in a good scare, or just enjoy a chance to get to know Grim a little better! Rest assured, your claimed rewards are stored on your EA account, so you do not need to worry about losing them.

    It took me barely an hour to complete Week 1.

    First quest completed. Did not take that long only 2 sim days. My sim Henry Bentley is in the Military (Officer Branch) he had to go to work but still managed to get it quite quickly as he had level 10 in cooking and gourmet. He is my test sim living in Henford 

  • I was able to get on and play while my granddaughter was napping. I played one Sim day and got one of the quests finished. I played with teen Cassandra Goth to make it a bit more challenging. 

    She and Alex ended up in virtual school (I intended to have them in an occult school), so I had to wait until class was done.  Then baby Sebastian needed a bottle while Bella was working. Then she was hungry. Finally we got to the quest, had to get her gardening skill to level 2, and finished. 

    Tomorrow she starts summer break so I hope we can spend more time working on cooking and summoning Grimm.

    I also hope the event is still there tomorrow. I was a little scared to log off.

    Edited to add that the event worked fine when I logged back on. I was able to get the second quest finished. Now to continue working on gardening and cooking!

    I thought this would be like the ridiculous one y'all had before where we had to login at least once a week to get a little prize. Now I find out it's even more ridiculous. EA is completely ignoring that not everyone plays this game the same. I don't like Quests. I don't do Quests. I literally "X" them out because I don't like them. And while we're on the subject, I HATE that EA forces death on my game by randomly killing off my Sims best friends...so that also means I don't give a fig about the Grim Reaper. Just another big disappointment.

      It's all about capital. EA is not producing new and exciting base gameplay. There should have been a pottery wheel with the new Artists Studio Kit. We all know that.

      Not playing the events this time around. I got my cc creators backing me up.

    So if the items are now linked to our EA account, does that mean we have to be logged in when playing our game to access the items?  What if we play our game offline?  Will the items still be in our game or not?

      AncientMuse2  I play offline all the time but I still first have to log into the EA App, so as far as I can tell the game is always connected to my EA account. It still comes up with my name on the welcome screen. So unless I’m misunderstanding something I *think* that shouldn’t be a problem?

        Ah, okay thanks.  That makes sense...

        Hopefully it'll properly work that way because if I invest my valuable time and effort into these time-limited events, then I need to be reassured that my rewards are kept and saved in my game from that day forward.  I don't want to go into my game one day only to discover everything has forever disappeared into that dark and dismal place known as the 'Abyss of Grim-ly Smite'.

  • Just how many times are we supposed to plant lilies and snapdragons? I've planted a bunch of them in an unmodded, new save and that task does not clear...everything else has cleared...

      worked fine for me but did you plant in planter and did you use ones that come in starter flowers pack?

      also only the plants planted after the task shows up count for the task

    Not really liking this one. Although some of the rewards may be nice, it really doesn't fit the gameplay of my decades challenge, which is the only save I play and the only actual save I have at the moment. The tasks do not really fit the decade that I am playing currently, so it is immersion-breaking. I also hate the lists to complete as that is telling us how to play, and I thought the franchise was all about playing my way. Sims 4 has become a micromanagement nightmare simulator instead of a life simulator with each "event" list thar gets introduced.

      Prov31Simmerthe event rewards are available across saves so maybe you could start a new save just to complete the event, get the rewards, and then delete that save.

      Alternatively, you could just skip the event and grab the rewards from the Gallery.

       

  • Don't die during this challenge. My household is one sim so when she started to die I turned off the game. The reaper challenge rewards are collected but I don't own any of them, and since I did this week's tasks I can't do them again . The rewards don't exist at all. All notifications about the challenge doesn't exists either. 

     

    Please save after each task. Wish I knew this before I started the quest
