Grim Event (I'm sorry)
Hey 🙂 I've looked on Reddit and through some other questions on here for a solution and have tried a couple things and nothing has worked so far. I'm not sure what I should do ATM. I'm on Xbox (no ...
Forum Discussion
@simsplayer818 I've tried different saves, new worlds, different households and nothing still. In week 1 I have "Assistant to the Grim Reaper" completed and the newsletter is not completed. I have nothing completed in weeks 2 to 5 because I can't redo week 1.
I tried in different households and a new world to see if I could expedite mail, I even turned cheats on and still couldn't do it for some reason. I cleared my local data twice too just to make sure
@Xemisa2World I've deleted and put in the willow creek mailbox down because I read a different thread and tried that first before making my post, still nothing unfortunately. I've even tried other mailboxes and waited for days, still nothing. I'm on the Xbox X/S and I don't have a PS5 or PC sadly.
Thank you both for the help and advice 🙂
@Queenbernoski1it's been reported by many players and EA are aware of it so hopefully they will present a solution to affected players soon. I'd keep track of the bug reports for up to date information.
It shouldn't affect the rest of your game, mine is fine. There's no corruption.
I'm making sure I don't play the event on a lot with any lot challenges or while any calendar events are running. That was what caused my problem, there were 2 events going on and the Reaper Event wouldn't start properly.
Edit: so I switched to a different household in the middle of the final week of the event so I'd need to re-request the newsletter so I could get an image of the message this time, see attached. If I'm remembering right I got this but then I also needed to expedite delivery. This time I didn't as it arrived quickly.
I must admit I'm a bit disappointed with the final rewards. I do love the Freezer Boney toys though.
@simsplayer818 I'm glad to know that's what the prompt to expedite shipping looks like, lol.
I'll load my game up in a second and see what's what since week six came out.
Thank you again
Edit: Nothing still. I removed all my expansion packs and tried base game, new world and everything. Nada. Still no prompt to expedite or Grim ask for help. I'll keep looking in the bug reports
@Queenbernoski1Expedite delivery is another separate interaction to speed up delivery when waiting for the newsletter but any Grim actions on the mailbox are easy to spot because they have a little Grim on them, like the image. I couldn't get an image of the expedite option because my newsletter arrived straight away this time. This option attached pops up when switching households, or at least it's supposed to. I was trying to break the event to figure it out but typical it worked fine for me. It was actually early this week for me. It immediately puts the full screen panel over my game each Tuesday late afternoon to start the next round of tasks.
Have you tried clearing locally saved data again following the steps in my post #2? Did you unlock the Grimaphone, if you have it, have you tried summoning Grim? Are you playing a lot that has any lot challenges as players have mentioned they can cause an issue.What if you disconnected your online social features. (See attached) Exit the game and the go back and enable online social features. It's just an idea.
Edit: there's a message from EA on the bug report saying Newsletter bugs should be fixed now by a small update. But I haven't seen patch notes posted yet, just a few players saying it's still not working.
