Please pause the timer on the Free Maker Drops Event

I have a feedback/request to make that I hope the team will consider. Could you remove the 4 weeks window that we have to claim the weekly free stuff? We are MANY playing offline right now waiting for a fix to the roof bug. Still, we don’t know when it will be live, we don’t have a date…  and we don’t know if it will fix our old saves as well. I understand that the fix for this bug will be included in the next game update… that may introduce new bugs?  Considering the situation, I don’t see myself updating the game and play online anytime soon. So it would be a kind gesture to pause the claim window so we won’t miss out.

    Yeah they are not going to do that. 

  • I add a virtual "Me Too" to this. Or to what simgirl1010​  said.

      I often play offline long periods of time after patch. Not necessarily even  because of broken mods , but to make sure all I need is ok.  Plus I'm darn lazy sometimes to do the mod hassle 😅 And sometimes I don't simply want to play online.

  • I think an extension to 6 or even 8 weeks would be nice 😊 Like Ellupelluellu​, there are times where I play offline for long periods after patches. Like her it's often out of caution to make sure no nasty bugs pop up later that could hurt important saves.

  • This free marketplace event is definitely clashing with the update. Do I really want to break all roofs to get a few free items? I am honestly torn about this issue. I don't want to update just in case a potential future fix is not retroactive. But since sims 4 events never offer a second chance, I might have to update, claim the items and then just not play for a few weeks.

    That's why I suggested giving more time to claim the free stuff. But you do you friend. Personally, I wont update the game until I'm sure the fix works for old saves as well. I have invested an indecent amount of time at building complex lots in this game. I hope they'll extend the claim window.
