Grim Reaper Rewards no longer appearing.
I was able to play week 1 with my mods without issue, but when I started week 2 on launch day some tasks auto-completed so I restarted my game. Since then I haven't been able to make the quests appear again, I tried to make a new save file, disabled my mods, repaired the game, and made a second new save file without mods. None of it made any difference, I got the initial pop-up for week 3 but even those quests won't appear. I'm really bummed out because I've been looking forward to participating.
Too many Townies in the Jungle
Hello everybody, I am playing out a little story i had in my head in sims and my sim husband is a hobby archeologist so logically he would explore the jungle on a little vacation. At first everything went as usual, when my sim came to a spot where he had to decide which gate he wanted to enter the place was mostly empty. I noticed that when i came to the bath spot in the jungle it was pretty crowded with a lot of sims. That was NOT a problem for me. But when i came to the temple it got pretty unhinged fast. First of all there where so many sims from different worlds which doesnt make sense to appear (for example the ENTIRE goth family) then Mortimer out of nowhere startet to go up in flames. Now the Sims are running through the temple like headless chickens and keep bathing in it. My Sim is trying to dig up artifacts but the other sims keep gathering around him and honestly it is not making sense for all those people to be here at all. Does anybody of you have the same problems? Is there an option to change how crowded a place can be? EDIT: Here are some pictures which pretty much explain the problem.
Too many "Lovestruck" couples everywhere!
[Edit 2024-10-10 -> Adding the pic which represents the topic name better] I knew there was a similar discussion. However, I haven't found any discussion about this issue about "everywhere" yet. So, I start a new one with the information from my testing with my saved file. (Disclaimer: My save is modded, has MCCC, and has "Show Sim Info" to get info.) I visited a park in Chestnut Ridge and found a couple named Roswell who live in Strangerville. It's so lovely, isn't it? But there are some strange things about this. If you have Strangerville GP, you will know that... Townies who live in Strangerville "rarely" spawned outside their world. Some places have exceptions about region limits such as restaurants, bowling lots (team members with uniforms), gossipers in Finchwick Fair, etc. You can't find them appearing outside without a special role. Then I have evidence that it's a Lovestruck (EP16) issue. I used the "Show Sim Info" mod to see the name of their role and found this (red underline). This can make sure that they are spawned by the game to have a date. In another try that I played for a longer time, after a few minutes, the game spawns at least 3 couples. I saw from other players that it can reach 4 couples too. About my personal opinion. It would be cute and lovely if it's only 1-2 couples and has the more rare chance to appear such as 10-20% or 50% at most. It shouldn't be every time like the current situation. They should respect the region-limited rule if it exists. And they shouldn't appear in the place they shouldn't be such as temple ruins in Selvadorada. I think it would be better to give "EP16NPC_VenueDate" sims in a specific place to make it more special. Why don't they appear mostly inCiudad Enamorada, the city of love? I wouldn't complain if it's like that. You can spawn as many lovers as you want in the city of love! Or I think it can be like "The Festival of Light" in Mt. Komorebi where couples from every world are spawned. It should be a collab with Seasons EP's Love Day too. I wouldn't complain much if the couple is spammed on this holiday. (But please don't give "situation outfit" to them cruelly lol.) I don't mind about the same couple appearing again and again if it's for a more special situation. This time, I can't make up my mind to play the main save until there are some mods to fix this. (Sadly I can't disable this pack because I already use the new hairstyle from this EP in my main sims because it fits him perfectly. And I'm busy lately, so I can wait longer.) That's all! Feel free to share your thoughts. I hope this will be tuned or fixed soon! P.S. I don't save this process in my main save, but I am honestly happy with Roswell for having a lovely moment time during this short period, even in the Gym! And it's so ironic that it's Love Day in my main save right now.
Scare Seeker Lot Challenge issue
Hi, regarding the Reaper Rewards. I have a problem with applying the Scare Seeker Lot challenge to my lot as it does not show in the list. I claimed it last week, it shows claimed on the Rewards screen but still is not in my lot traits list to apply. I have 42 lot traits in my list yet the Scare Seeker trait is missing. My game is on PC, Win 10. I do not use mods. I have read a reply that this has happened to another person. Please respond if you have encountered this and were able to fix. Thanks
EA. PLEASE let us turn off Grim Reaper Rewards and ads.
How can I turn it off? I'm not at all interested in the rewards or the challenges. It's sitting in the corner of my screen ruining my gameplay. Will it go away eventually or am I just stuck with it? Even if this one goes away will I be able to remove the next one?! I thought it would maybe be like the discovery quests that you can opt in or out of, which I already have turned off. PLEASE LET ME TURN IT OFF! I'm so confused as to why they made this a in game situation. Everyone plays this game very differently and this is making me want to stop playing. I've checked all the settings and tried multiple saves and there's nothing you can do. I'm more than annoyed by it, I see a lot of people in the sims community are also wanting to remove this. Stop forcing this kind of thing down our throat. I'll be here searching the internet until this problem has been resolved or until someone makes a mod to remove it all together. You know and I might as well throw in that Vivaland looks better and better everyday......
Bring back some of the authentic goal songs
I get that it’s expensive to get the licensing for all of the authentic goal songs, but at least bring back some of the more notable ones such as Chelsea Dagger and Kernkraft 400. Not only does it add the authenticity to the teams that use them but they would also be nice to use in EASHL. They used to be in the game, and I feel like “hockey songs” like those just need to be in the game.
Drop-in club games
Since you cannot start a club search with one person (why?? even if you wanted to make sure there’s two people for whatever reason, you can just enforce drop-ins allowed until player count >= 2), when I do drop-ins as a D-man, I typically only play club matches. It’s miserable playing defense in drop ins, the only chance you have to get involved is club games, so why not at least add a “Only allow club games” option to drop ins?
