Yea, they really didn’t plan this that well. I already downloaded the CC, but since I basically play everyday to wind down from work. I’ve been doing the log in event. Also, you could always do the glitch, click the Event filter and select every color and make a room with these items and save it to your library.
The missing rewards after claiming definitely isnt a glitch and is likely how they programmed it. I share an account with my brother and we play on our own PCs. Our logic was that if I logged in to claim the rewards we would both be able to use them because they'd work like purchased DLCs where we just download it to our PCs from the same EA account. But I saw some posts stating players had to claim rewards on specific desktops/laptops for the rewards to count. For example, if a player has a desktop and a laptop with the same EA account, player had to claim all from their desktop, because when they tried to claim day 1 frm desktop, then claim day 2 on laptop, the laptop sims game would require them to claim day 1 instead of day 2. I checked around and apparently the Login Event unlocks the free rewards LOCALLY. So that means if we had to uninstall because we were trying to fix the game or even just upgrading to a different PC, we would lose the rewards and they'd be locked again because we don't unlock them in our account. I hope they'll update us that they'll fix this so the rewards get tied to the account not the local PC/Console itself.
The unlock works per sims game folder in your my documents. So if you have to reinstall, you need to copy your sims folder to my documents. I occasionally use a different sims game folder in my documents and that has to be claimed separately.
I was in cas yesterday and saw the reward trait already just chilling there. lol what?! The only thing I wanted was the trash can recolor which I will be using all the time. I appreciate that they at least did the login so flexible for people.
I'm glad I watched this video as I had no idea it was apparently a phased roll out! I've been checking my game and there is absolutely nothing about it so hopefully I'm just part of the group that will be getting it later. Feels strange that this phased roll out isn't mentioned anywhere in the article about it though
yeah i don’t know why it wasn’t bc some people got it waaaay earlier so it was clearly meant to be that way. idk why they wouldn’t put that info somewhere accessible
The glitch with the colored filters works perfectly. I have all the items allready. I wanted the vending machine because I don’t have all the packs. And now I have it in my game. So the glitch works for me. I play on PS4.
I was so excited for this tbh, I just enjoy limited stuff but I was so disappointed it's still not in my game and so many others have it 😅 they definitely should have mentioned that not everyone will get it at the same time. But thanks so making this 🙏
Thanks for mentioning these. I knew we had at least 2 events finding things. I think EA heard people complaining they hate those and the Jasmine Holiday events so they're like here's a simple log in event.
@@katierasburn9571 I know the community also complained about these events. More arguing that it's time away from bug fixes but now the argument is these are things found in mobile games so unacceptable.
I haven't been playing but I did pull it up, claim the reward, and then shut it back down the last couple days. EA has shifted to a platform of live content and is the main reason why I'm avoiding EA here out, I also hate the app but that is another story. I have made it my mission to avoid games that require an internet connection to play. I want to be able to click play offline at the very beginning where with EA you must be online to log in. I miss the days of offline single player games.
didn't they say they'd re-run the day of the dead and plantsim events way back when and they never reappeared you just have to get the items from debug, i'm doubtful here
I’m not sure if it’s a glitch, but despite checking allow mods every time I reset the game now it says it’s been updated and my mods are removed. Wondering if something from the daily check-ins is affecting it.
This video should be mandatory viewing for all players. You only have to log in 8 times total in 30+ days to claim everything so not as timed as it seems at first glance. I like the idea of getting a little gift everytime I log in and love the idea of a seasonal one. Thanks for the clear explanation of how this works!
That's my opinion. Just logging in and 3 days this week which ends next Thursday then 2 days for two weeks then 1 day. I'd definitely advise this idea being done every 6 months. Only possible issue; should the new items be strictly for the event. Like the one tile bar or it should be a different design which will definitely happen since packs have different build/ but themes. To me this is them listening to people who say they don't like gameplay required. There were 2 events plus a few with Jasmine Holiday. Of course there's plenty of people who say we all don't want this, how dare you EA!! Which will happen no matter what EA does.
On xb1 US, unmodded, for the record. Okay, second day since the end of week one (a Saturday, no less) and it's _still_ giving 2 days until the start of week 2... For the second day in a fucking row.
IMO this should have been done AFTER the first round of fixes from the team they announced recently. I know I haven't been playing much since high school years since it's gameplay was (is?) so buggy. I feel like they are trying to boost the number of active players, but this does nothing to address the reason (again, IMO) people may not be playing as much - the bugs. I bet it'll boost numbers in the short term but unless bug fixes start rolling out soon I suspect people won't stick around.
I have no problem with these log-in rewards. It's a reward, therefore, you do, you get. I used to have a job where rewards were offered. Depending on how many of the chosen item you sold, you received different levels of rewards. If you didn't sell at the top level then you didn't get or earn that reward. This is the same situation, it's a reward for logging in and if you don't log in then you haven't earned the reward. That's just how life works.
I had a pop up to claim the stupid dart board, Which I claimed, still haven't even used it. Now I cant get the pop up back, clicked the freezer bunny nothing brings it back and has a timer of 32days 12hrs, I did want the necklace :-( . but I am not surprised that this doesn't work - i have had to use mods to fix the sims 4 game across packs. so so so disappointed that LBY was delayed. now waiting for Inzoi
I feel like maybe they are adding some of these items in this manner to basegame because they need them for upcoming expansion packs (mini fridge =mini bar). I'm ok with that. Am just hoping to get a "free" item for a pack I don't have
Honestamente creo que hay mejores alternativas para entregar ese contenido que con un evento por tiempo limitado. Espero que esto quede como los escenarios y Jasmine Holiday😅😂
The sims 4 definitely feels like it is being used as an experiment. I am afraid of what they will turn the game into before they are done experimenting for project Renee. The principle that timed events are linked to real time bothers me. I need a game that's there when it suits me, not a game that tells me how to arrange my life to get rewards. Also the now and never again vibe is terrible. If EA would occasionally repeat events, that would be so useful. I want another chance for the family portrait and I want to finally play the plantsim challenge.
I’m telling you, I’ve seen this kind of stuff from EA before and it always ruins the community. We all play the sims differently and for different reasons. The idea that the game is going to force everyone to play the same way in order to obtain the same things is wrong and will cause a lot of unnecessary stress on many players who don’t normally play the way the events require, and for those who play in a way that makes that particular even easy, it will put a rift between them because people will lose the camaraderie because they simply won’t understand why people appear to be “complaining”.
My opinion is they're listening to people who didn't like the timed events we've gotten. So here's a simple log in . 3 days this week, then 2 for 2 weeks then 1 day the last week. So if people who hate this sre louder, then this might go away. It's interesting how now people are worried about fomo. 🤷♀️ I think this is ok. Keep it limited to every 6 months. Enough time to let people know the event is happening. Limited to little things. There's a cheat: cc and if they don't fix the accidental everything is unlocked. No matter what, people are going to complain. Someone argued with me the SDX drop is also a test for making a future game that's like a mobil game. 🤷♀️ How dare EA pays attention to trends. They're supposed to be sticking to the 24 year old formula. If it fsilsyy, oh well. I think scenarios are also fine.
Timed rewards don’t bother me. They probably need an increase in login/players for business purposes and to hit their goal they’re giving things away. It’s one of the less scummy business practices they’ve had imo. Ea is still a corporation at the end of the day
this is so strange to me. why would the sims 4 need more logins? this isn't a normal thing in singleplayer, mostly-offline games. mobile games or super online games, yeah. it doesn't make sense for sims 4 unless they really are going for an entirely online future for the game (like is theorized for sims 5 or whatever). i think it's a bit concerning but that's my opinion
I don't like the event rewards and I really don't like the early purchase bonuses from packs, I don't like the pulsating shopping cart. Did I claim the rewards? Yes. But they make me feel...bad? But I have them because regardless, I'm gonna play my game. I already own the packs. Had to buy em twice when I switched from console to PC. Why do I need a shopping cart to remind me of that? That kind of sucks. And I am fortunate enough to be able to buy packs early. But I have never once looked at early incentives and decided yep, I'm gonna pay 40 bucks for this expansion to get a new guitar skin or a rocking chair or w/e. And I never use the items really bc they make me feel bad that everyone can't have them. So I don't get the point. I never got to participate in the earlier challenges in my game and I hate that those items are locked. Can I unlock the stupid green plant pot? No. I hate that. I try not to cheat rewards soo.. they are just there. Locked and horrible. I don't want more things in the game that aren't available to all simmers. Games that have battle passes and such rewards aren't the same vibes as cozy sims gameplay. I think It's all a weird move.

I am able to claim the rewards on the home screen but in game the event tab has never shown up. I've tried everything.

@@BrianZatzke Yeah. The event tab just is not there. Neither is the content

I'm not happy about this. I'd much rather have carefully crafted packs than timed rewards.
What kind of future packs do you want for sims 4?
Simmers aren’t happy about something? Must be a day that ends in “y”.
It's really great for simmers who don't want to or can't afford those packs that (for the last 4 years) has not be worth peoples money

Thanks for the update - it’s very reassuring to know that you aren’t locked into the “log in every week or it’s gone forever” thing I thought it was.

This log on event not going last long I do miss the old challenges those were fun like collect magic beans or sugar skulls
Thanks for mentioning these. I knew we had at least 2 events finding things. I think EA heard people complaining they hate those and the Jasmine Holiday events so they're like here's a simple log in event.
yeah when they mentioned gameplay events i was like uhhh guys you already did that?? am i crazy? i would like to see them return
@@katierasburn9571 I know the community also complained about these events. More arguing that it's time away from bug fixes but now the argument is these are things found in mobile games so unacceptable.

Nothing's happening when I click on the freezer bunny, so hopefully they fix that bug soon
