Plus, Season 1 reward objects from The Sims 4 Live Event are coming for everyone!
The Sims Team has addressed some issues regarding certain bugs that players have encountered after the latest Sims 4 Patch. Including
On September 18th, EA released an update for the Base Game that removed certain player’s progress on the Happy At Home Live Event. Which was the first Season and in-game reward event introduced to the Base Game.
Unlike the current Reaper’s Rewards Event which has its mechanisms more fine-tuned to require players to play through feature experiences in Live Mode, the Happy At Home Event required players to only Login into the game for several consecutive days. All in favor of winning free items that are exclusive to the players and theirs to keep if completed.
The mechanisms behind the scenes of this first Live Event were weird, considering that players had to keep a backup file on PC / Mac since all the progress from the live event is storaged in a UserSettings.ini file. An Online Live Event with local storaging of process didn’t make much sense, and EA thankfully confirmed that Reaper’s Rewards Season 2 Live Event is all storaged directly from EA account information. No more need for those backups!
Small Sims 4 Patch for Next Week
Beginning September 30th, 2024 you should expect a new Sims 4 Patch to be released across PC, Mac and Xbox and Playstation platforms. This update is not only an emergency update to fix current Reaper’s Rewards Event bugs, but also an unlock of all the Season 1 Live Event objects. People who didn’t participate in the Happy At Home Event and / or came across issues while playing it will have all the CAS items, Build Objects and a new Trait waiting for them in Base Game.
Read the official statement about the upcoming Sims 4 Patch below:
We are working on releasing a small patch early next week that addresses player reports regarding the Reaper’s Rewards Event & missing items from the Happy-at-Home Event. We appreciate your patience & continued reporting to Answer HQ, with more details to follow next week.
The current event system now links all claimed rewards to your EA account to ensure players do not risk losing their progress or rewards in the future. To resolve the missing items from the Happy-at-Home event, we’ll be adding the event rewards to the base game across platforms.
There you have it! Players of The Sims 4 on all platforms should expect a new Sims 4 Patch to drop early next week, either Monday or Tuesday to see long awaited fixes for the Reaper’s Rewards Event. Plus, everyone’s getting their hands into the Happy at Home Login Event features!
It’s expected that major Mods and CC should not be causing conflict with the upcoming Sims 4 Patch, but make sure you keep your game backed up and running healthy!
