    *UPDATE:* Moving the accountDataDB file to my desktop allowed me to complete this week's quests, but it made me lose all the rewards from the previous login event. I didn't realize until a while after I released this video, I'm sorry I missed that. However, moving the backup of my accountDataDB file from when the UI broke back into the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder (allowing it to overwrite the new one) after completing this week's quests brought back the login rewards while still keeping the Reaper's Rewards that I have! So if you run into the same situation as me, don't delete the accountDataDB. Just move it into a new folder somewhere else, and then bring it back after you've completed everything. I know some simmers were already missing the login rewards even before this event, so still hoping they just unlock them for everyone.

      This helped thank you. I went to both steam and EA and made sure automatic update is on. I also went on steam my account backup game file and then check the integrity of the game. I did delete accountdatadb, so oops. I also removed depotcache and moved my mods to the side. Then I shutdown my pc. Started the game and the reapers pop up again. I also notice the issues I had with the lighting in some builds got fix so I didn't see no more sims glowing bright. Also, the paranormal kit started to work. So many problems got fixed. The reaper rewards took a minute then quest started. I did force shut down at first because it froze the quest again. Then I didn't go or touch anything and completed the quest. Hope it helps someone

      I don’t know if I saw you say this somewhere else or saw someone else say it, but either way, that’s a pretty cool find. I remember years ago when there were fewer fish in the game you could fish up some crazy stuff, and this is giving those kind of vibes. I’ll never forget the time I caught a shower, because like how?? 😂
      But you just pulled out of the trash a connection to the grim reaper that didn’t exist yet 😮

    Overall, I like the items and the event is funish, but the fact that it’s limited time and that means these items can’t be used in official content, bites. I would be on board with permanent scenarios with new items as rewards especially if those new items could still be used in stuff and finishing the scenarios just made getting them easier.

    I know im not in the majority here but, if this wasnt so glitchy, i actually enjoy thus a lot. The sims has always been missing a sense of progression and imo playing to unlock items is much more fun than just instantly getting them without doing anything. I dont like the limited time nature of it but i de like the gamplay aspect of it.
    I would like it if the panel that has the events was permanent and as we get new events, past ones would still be playable. Like you can select one to start at any time but you can only progress one at a time.

    It looked like the wait for ambrosia society newsletter checked off instantly when you switched to that quest, leaving you the read newsletter task which isn’t supposed to show until the newsletter is delivered. So I would assume you didn’t have the “expedite” option because your game thought you already had it. 🤔
