    You need to rename the folder you want to play as "The Sims 4". Rename the other folder to something else. 

    As an example here's what my folder looks like. I just rename the one I want to play as "The Sims 4"  

    You can copy the accountDataDB.package from you other folder, or just let the game download your account information to a new  accountDataDB.package file when the game loads. You must have the Game Options\Other\Online Social Features Access setting enabled to allow the game to download your reward information automatically.

@krupukriuk If you play from either of the folders then the accountDataDB.package file should get updated when the game loads. This contains all of your reward entitlements associated with your account. The event objects should be available in CAS and Build mode.
