What was the point of the reapers reward

I saw it more as a guide for players to make Ambrosia...

Yet agreed, you just wait, slowly get the ingredients, make Ambrosia really slowly, and win. Oh, and there are other tasks too. And then you have stuff...

Mine broke halfway through but I thought I was helping grim learn to make ambrosia.  And I think the reason was so that players who get life and death might play more with ghosts and death and reviving people if they know that?  

I dont know, but to me there is no point in imposing events, tasks or quests. Some simmers dont play those and want nothing to do with that. Furthermore, The point was to get you to buy the death pack ofc and popularize an evil character !  It has fulfilled its goal to bring in more players, and to keep players involved... but it has turned off some simmers, like me and i am waiting for it to be over to start working on my broken game. 

I remember the first event i came across w this game, it was so promising ! I thought they would have more fun events like that, i was so very wrong, they never had any. And now i am so very disapointed in how this game turned out and evolved w the modders and developpers codes fighting within the game. I am close to calling it quits. Actually i have called it quits on oct9. Maybe i will come back some day.

I never finished it and it takes too long just to get the rewards anyway. My idea is if you miss a week: get the rewards for free. Not all of us can finish this awards. 

I had a Now what? type of reaction after my sim cooked the ambrosia. She wasn't going to eat it and there's no one to feed it to. I put it away in a trunk for safekeeping. 😁 On the plus side she maxed her gourmet and cooking skills. Maybe she'll start selling ambrosia for a hobby as it is quite expensive. I also got this unexpected and funny reaction from the cat. My sim put the trash fruit earned from the event on the table and the cat jumped on the table and puked when she smelled it. 😁

I fed the ambrosia to my sim's boyfriend who passed too early. So I had an end goal all along.

To me it was a way to advertise this upcoming pack with some pretty shoddy , poor freebies . I was expecting much more from the event with it dragging out for 6 weeks but once again feeling totally underwhelmed , Could at least have given some useful objects rather than  what they did , 99% of which i immediately deleted after claiming it

I have given up trying to do that final week. My sim seems to be unable to get from level 9 to level 10 gourmet cooking and the skill cheat just will not work.

I finished the ambrosia, but haven't had a social event or gone to ghost night. I actually did have a birthday party, but it didn't count as it wasn't a goaled event. However the game wouldn't let me set a goaled event while another event was occuring. So it looks like the reaper event itself interferes with the goal.

I was able to schedule a goaled event for the next day. Hopefully it'll work.

I still have to host an event but I agree that the story really fell off by the end and so did the rewards, I really already have all the rewards I wanted (got the coffin and everything after that is meh), so Im not really too interested in finishing it.

Other than that at least this event actually kinda fit my playstyle and sims (very occulty, dark but also lots of crafty witches who where ready to garden and cook).
