lmfaaooooo "we could all use a distraction today"
this is fine 🐶🔥
I mean most of us need the distraction
I like your emoji rendition of the meme
I’m from Russia and today is a sad day for all normal people. Was checking election results every hour(
@@dashka-s-kosi4kami thank you for your support
i am so unbelievably shocked. how could this happen.
Snap making biscuits on the cat cam made me so happy.
Clearly it was a busy day at the biscuit factory ❤
She worked very hard today at the biscuit factory.
hopefully Simsie paid Snap for hard hardwork making biscuits :)
not in fact doing okay 😅 this was a very welcome distraction 💙
Me too friend.
Cry. Maga.
@@limyize I hope you have the day you deserve, friend.
@@limyizebe respectful of others opinions. Jesus loves you :))
@@limyizePeople can not be doing okay for reasons not related to Politics. Kindness goes a lot further than hatred.
not me bursting into tears two seconds into the video after hearing "hey hope you're doing okay" im not but thank you for the distraction 🥺
@@AngieHeartsAndySix me too, i said “i’m not doing okay but thank you for the distraction kayla. i hope you’re okay”
We will get through I'm hurting with you😢
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@victorious3926
so it wasnt just me 😭
Thank you for providing a safe space 💙
Thank you for the distraction
It's just her job
i'm so so so so so so in love with snap's old lady yells. the cat cam and her little old lady yelling does wonders as emotional support for today ♡
I actually hated the Reaper's Rewards. it was a good idea in theory, but my game, like many other's, broke. Mine reset and I lost all my rewards. It was way too much all at once.
I love the idea of a Halloween event, but everytime I’d have to read the Ambrosia Society Newsletter or whatever, I’d be like, “oh shit, this probably won’t work and will be agony.” So I was pretty miserable playing it, but I like it conceptually.
@fanbrush672 mine stopped working after week 3. It refuses to go on. It's irritating.
I had the same issue with my game
@@Mamatasha911 me too :(
@ivi.ivi993 I hope they fix it or they end up just giving it out because I really wanted to play through it & get those things!
sending love from the uk to everyone in the us right now, especially if you're in a red state
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's all a red State now
❤🐘❤
@@wrenpen I am definitely not okay!! Thank you for your prayers!!! 🥹🥹🥹
@@Tiffany-ne9fr You can love your state and still have empathy for others. People were hurt during his last time in office, and fear for what his second round will look like. A bit of compassion goes a long way.
@@Tiffany-ne9frthat will change soon enough.
I like that we had to go thru the story to earn the rewards. It was like a fun tutorial that showed me how to do a bunch of things that I may never had done before.
I'd love having this same type of activities /challenges again with other types of game play... like you have to build a house one room at a time - to get familiar with build mode etc...
Same I would love something like this again because I'm more of a builder when it comes to the sims 4 and this event made it so I had to actually play and now I want to do more gameplay now instead of just building. 😄
A nice thing about the freezer boney collection is that once you complete the event, any sim you play in the future can buy the whole set, making it an easy collection to assemble for The Curator aspiration.
Thanks for the distraction Simsie! My childhood dog passed away over the weekend and including the stress of today, I'm so greatful for video.
i’m so sorry for your loss 🫂
@@astrologia4968 Thank you. It's been an adjustment with him no longer in the house but remembering the happy moments helps. :)
I’m sorry for your loss 😢. Sending love your way
i'm really sorry about your fur baby
I am so sorry for your loss
I usually don't comment, but hello from Idaho (a scary state to live in right now). Please make sure you take care of yourself, it's okay to mourn. Remember that it's only hopeless if we stop fighting. We are strong and worthy of love, regardless of what they will want you to think. Be safe everyone.
As an ex-Idahoan, I feel for you and am sending you all the good energy. ❤
fellow idahoan 💙
It’s all a red wave. House, senate, executive, Supreme Court. We can’t stop them now. But I’ll retain my hope for a better future.
Hey, fellow Idahoan here, we don't agree politically, but it does make me sad to know there are so many in our country who don't feel safe 😢 I truly wish one day we can have unity or at least understanding between the left and the right. Sending lots of love
Also Idahoan. I think I really needed to hear this. Thanks. All I keep thinking is if we survive the next four years he can't run again but it doesn't help much in the here and now; not to mention all the other problems in our state.😐I just feel numb right now.
Hello simsie community! I just wanna say that just like Kayla, you're all wonderful people and it's no accident we've all gathered here! Think of all the incredible fundraisers this community has done to help people all over the world. Take some time to gather yourself and then keep being wonderful!
Hello! This reminds me that whatever happens "up top", we can all still be our best selves as the situation allows. I believe that even in the direst circumstances, we peeps can keep being kind, respectful, and positive if we really try. The way to help yourself is to help others when you can, and this will always be true. Take a moment if needed, and then hope to see you back out there!
@@LivinInSim this helped me change my perspective, thank you :-)
@@izzymia8354 Awesome, thanks!
I agree! We exercised our rights to vote whether we agreed with them or disagreed! Kindness goes a long way rather than name calling and being embarrasing. It killed me seeing her instagram post about the result. It was almost the opposite of what she usually preaches. Left me in a shock but still enjoy her and her videos. Lets just be kind while we get through the emotions. ❤❤ @LivinInSim
@Court.Clark25 idk how to tell you this but people online have opinions about political candidates, have you just realised this? This is really normal, I’m not sure how you function irl if people disliking politicians upsets you that much
i feel like i'm constantly on the verge of tears at all times. thank you for the distraction kayla!
❤
Would be nice if this still wasn’t broken on console🙃 they honestly better give all of us this stuff for free cuz it’s not fair that I’ve had the event this entire time but haven’t been able to do it
i’ve seen that some people, me included, said that it didn’t work on pc aswell, so yeah they better give us these items for free
Mine was working on Xbox until this last update and now I can’t travel. It crashes every time
@@amandak879so sorry about that. mine broke on week 2/3, the pop up of the event didn’t come up anymore. i tried to delete all of my mods but it didn’t work:(
@@amandak879 Same
I was only able to do like the first 2 weeks and I’m on pc. I don’t even mod and I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I really wanted the bike so I’m pretty bummed
The little Snap ears bumping on the frame 🥺 emotional support 🥹🤍
Sending love from Australia to everyone, stay safe and thankyou Simsie for providing a cozy distraction
Simsie was lucky. My reaper rewards sim finished on a THURSDAY so I turned off need decay and 3x speeded through an ENTIRE WEEK to get to ghost night 😭
Funnily enough I also went to the oasis springs bar 😂
I jumped to 2 different bars on Wednesday to finally get the ghost night. Had to wait most of the week too get it too, but at least I finished 😅
I also had to wait a week… then MISSED the Wednesday ghost night because my sims’ twins were in college and I spaced it completely!
I’m confused by this because I didn’t need to go to ghost night in my save?
UGH SAME. I WAS FORCING MY SIMS TO HIBERNATE TO SPEED TIME UP. omg.
If you did it with only base game the task was to host a party. The tasks changed based on what packs you have enabled since I only had a few, I only got like 1 pack task in the entire event
I have all the packs and I didn't notice any tasks that were specific for other packs. I also had to host a party. I did a gold level weenie roast.
I think the reason it wasn't included in this video is because kayla already completed this task in a different save while playing with the new pack. also I'm pretty sure all the base game tasks are the same for everybody, but if you have packs there might be some extra ones (like going to the magic realm to look for a death flower)
I have a majority of the packs and I had to throw a party. I only got a couple special changes like using the seance table and traveling to the realm.
The cat cam was the oxytocin boost I needed today
Hilariously the last week was the most difficult one for me.
Not necessarily due to the existential dread, but due to the last event being “throw a social event and gain a silver medal” on a file where the story had my character being a loner who made friends and found solace in the grim reaper in her gramophone. Lol. I finally managed it using the two neighbors I was acquainted with by bombarding them with compliments and then basically remaking the bar I had the event at to accommodate actually doing the event requirements
I had such an annoying time trying to get that damn silver, 3 different events bugged out, I was ready to frisby my laptop through the window!
i celebrated the wedding of my sims, got gold and didnt get the reward 💀
I was playing with a vampire family so getting level 10 in Cooking AND Gourmet Cooking was kind of annoying LOL.... they dont NEED FOOD!!! WHY MUST THEY MAKE ME DO THIS!! so now vlady daddy has level 10 cooking & gourmet cooking :) woohoo
The last week was rough. Took me several attempts to get silver. Went to all the bars on Wednesday, Ghost night didn’t happen. Saved, came back to play through to another Wednesday and the Silver Party had not saved so I had to throw another party. It was far easier
@@guiio_053 same lol, maybe it's cos weddings are kind of a special event? I just had them have a post-wedding dinner party, that worked hahah
Effing. Thank. You. Literally just cried randomly bc I’m so scared of what’s gonna happen now and you’re my go to comfort for videos so god thank you
Much love, Kayla. To echo 100+ people, thanks for just being you and offering a nice distraction. It's very much needed and appreciated.
Sending hugs to everyone in the US . Thank you Kayla, I’m from Canada and we r upset too .
Canadian here, I'm devasted. Stay safe everyone
❤❤❤
i really liked this event because multiple items that werent basegame before finally became basegame (bike, casket). i get that wasnt for everyone and manx thought it was boring but for casual sims player i think it should be fun
the tasks were still very boring und uneventful tho
Good luck from France to all of you guys in the US. I agree we all deserve some Simsie distraction today! Thank you Kayla for your effort. Let's play Sims a d forget about whatever just happened. ❤
I just wish it would have worked, I have already concluded I’m going to miss out on half the rewards since it’s been radio silence from EA about the grim rewards being broken for so many.
deleting account data . package worked for me. [and make sure ur "Online" in the EA app. it's a lil bit lame to have to do that but it worked]
thank you for the cat cam. especially needed today. snap can yell at me forever.
Thank you, Kayla! I've been having panic attacks all day, and a new simsie video is like a hug for my soul 😊
I'm wishing the best for you, we gotta stick together through this :)
@@tropssicle9119I don’t know if it’s a panic attack but I’ve had a hard time breathing, shortness of breath, with constant headaches all day. I’m glad that this is a safe space. I can calm down now.
@@lattecreamsoda as someone who has a panic disorder and anxiety disorder panic attacks are more so shorter timed and more out there. It could be just anxiety as anxiety lasts longer and acts more lowkey.
Worth noting, because of how the event is tied to your account now, you must be online to play. The game won't even start offline now
what???
I agree that I wish this was accessed as a scenario. After playing through it, I wish all the scenarios were more like this, and I'd be willing to play through it again with a different save. But it doesn't look like it'll be available like that, so it's kind of a bummer. I do think I'd be willing to participate in future events like it, though I wish they weren't limited time.
Cat cam made my day dude , love those little guys, im so hyped to get another cat soon cuz my special son passed in august 💙💙💙💙 i hope everyone is safe, remember to drink water and take breaks! Its nice seeing all the positivity in the comments ^_^
Thank you for taking time to think about your community and making this video. I’m having a hard time making it through my work day and seeing this made me realize that I can make it through. Things aren’t ok, but together we can make it through this. Thank you Kayla.
Girl i’ve been crying on and off all morning and night. Honestly thank you for posting, i know it was hard to get up this morning and record. i needed the distraction you are a blessing and your videos are a part of my life every day. ❤
The event is different for strictly base game users. Mine ended as soon as I made the Ambrosia which was kind of a let down
I have a majority of the packs and mine ended with making the ambrosia as well
1:32 LOL at the bottom left rectangle “Play Nice? Nah. Cause some mayhem today!” 😂 how did they know?!
I agree, I hate the aliens skins being locked, but I also think it would be a good idea if the new eyes could change color.
This was a very lovely and welcome distraction, I may not be able to play sims right now but your videos are always so insightful and enjoyable, thank you for being you Kayla 💙💙💙
thqank you for the disctraction i know living in florida must be so hard and making a video on a day like this isnt the easiest task, but thank you for the distraction when ive been non stop crying for the past two days we appreciate you in this community
18:16 I ordered snaps biscuits so long ago I’m glad I finally got them 10/10 thank you snap
Sending lots of love to everyone in the US from Brazil. We have been throught something like that once and just the thought of it happening twice is so scary. But it will pass too. Keep safe, keep strong, keep fighting. You are not alone. ❤
There's a pretty good reason why...
I'd also prefer if these were released as rewarded scenarios, have them as timed releases originally, but then available forever so simmers who can't play right away or join the community later on aren't missing things
Snap providing the comic relief made my day better!
After the most recent patch I was FINALLY able to access the tasks again and I completed the challenge last night, mostly out of spite at this point. I have enough to worry about in my life sims team I don't need to worry about the reaper's rewards 😭
I love how the death cage is ✨decorated for the holidays✨
Snap is NEVER a burden!!! It's a gift seeing and hearing her in videos ❤
Thank you, Kayla.
Playing sims was also my answer to distracting from the news.
Uninviting the cats because Snap was screaming about it is classic Simsie. 😅
I love Snap's old lady yelling ❤
I like the idea of having the reward event take place in scenario form after the event is done. I'm glad you suggested the same thing, since I was thinking that before the end of the video.
thank you for the distraction simsie 🖤
I definitely agree with the concept of them reintegrating the rewards event as a scenario in the future for later players. Even though we can get the rewards from past events (like the planting pot and the inspirational posters) they should also be replayable for those of us who came late to the game.
I think if they bring back rewards when they create new ones might be fine
Like if next year they make a new Halloween one and they also reopen the reaper one for ppl who missed it that could be better
Keyla no worries we love the mess, we love the authenticity
Also also! Please give us a sequal where the father and Olive Spector gets togehter somehow 👀👀
100% agree with scenarios with rewards structure
Maybe a balance for them to have incentive would be that it’s an annual reward. For example to get a Halloween related reward you’d have to complete the scenario within the month of October, but if you missed it one year you could play it the next??
I don't know about anyone else but personally I love it when Snap yells and makes her presence know. Maybe that's because I'm a cat lady and my two goblins do the same. We will all get through this.
The effort you put into this is so clear!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING US ABOUT THE ALT+F4 THING!!! i had watched this video the day you uploaded it, and when my game froze just now i was resigned to losing several game days' worth of progress until i recalled you mentioning this trick! just thought i'd drop a comment letting you know how much i appreciate it when you (and other sims streamers) share tips like this; it's really saved me a lot of frustration since i started playing. love your content, can't wait for more!
I have also finished the reaper rewards, but when I cooked the ambrosia, my toddler ate it.. 😅🤣
Love the catcam btw! 🥰
Stay safe everyone! 💖
I'm from the Philippines and I know what it feels like, sending hugs to everyone who chose to vote for what's right
WHAT IF they did an event where it's like this where it goes over for weeks and basically you just unlock it 'early' by participating??? And then it comes out for everyone as a bg update since they made it anyway...?
Because the whole point of it is to get people to play the game right now. If you knew all this stuff would eventually be given to everyone anyways then you wouldn't log in and play it out because well what's the point? EA gets money based on how long you stay playing their game so if it was something everyone could get it simply wouldn't work unless you unlock it years earlier.
Thank you for the tip of Alt F4, I thought I was the only one having problems with the Ghost Night. Since my sim is a spellcaster, she could always do Necro Call, but I am going to bring a grave just in case.
please thank Snap for her appearance on the cat cam. I super needed this today. 💖
14:06 when they get a physical fear like fear of swimming or fear of the dark they'll get an energised moodlet terrifically terrifying with that lot challenge
I'm from Utah so I understand the disappointment that Kayla feels being from Florida. Thank you for the distraction, The Sims and video games in general are what's going to keep me going for the next 4 years.
A way for them to encourage more players to play NOW and still give everyone the opportunity to earn the rewards, they could make each event a scenario or SDX drop or something like a year later. It would kind of be like "if you do it during this timeframe, you get early access to the content" sort of thing.
I think another way they could do these time locked events would be also that as a whole community we complete tasks to gain "points" to unlock items FOR EVERYONE regardless if people log in during the event or not. Kind of like how Phasmophobia had their Halloween event to be for the whole community to gather points to unlock new features within a specific time window. Ofc they would have to make the time window/point gain balanced enough to realistically unlock all the items. This way players who play would have something to work towards actively with fun tasks etc. but people who don't play as actively still have access to the rewards. 🤔 I also think this way people would have a reason to log in more than once in six weeks to check progress and play more. 😅 Also sending so so so much love to everyone right now. 💙
My sim was a medium trying to bring back her dead sister, and a ghost cat ate the ambrosia off the counter
Did the cat come back to life or do they only come back with the ambrosia pet treat?
@ it wasn’t even the pet treat. It was just ambrosia. He ate it off the counter, came back to life, then I lectured him on eating human food😂😂
What a perfect video for today! That’s the best cat cam I’ve ever seen! I would just love it if this was a scenario that didn’t have a time limit. That said, I at least appreciate this event being more forgiving than the last and I love the items.
for some reason, snap's calming biscuits gave me comfort.
Thank you for the distraction Kayla, luckily Im in a blue state, but im so sooooo sorry for you, and everyone else, in a red state 💙
❤🐘❤
Red state here. There's no need to feel sorry. MAGA
yeah, there is a need to feel sorry. just because you and/or the others that voted this way don't value the safety and existences of those worrying most right now, doesn't mean nobody cares about them. bringing this mess back a second time isn't a flex, nor will it ever be one.
I'm in a blue state myself so I'm thankful we don't have to worry as much but I'm in New Jersey and saw we voted red for the house which scares me because you never know if one day we just switch from blue to red so it's like hesitation and being anxious worrying about what will happen next
@@Tiffany-ne9frMAGA! 🎉
Having the cat cam today on this episode was an amazing distraction. Thank you and stay safe, dear.
sending so much love to everybody 💙 stay strong
When I finished this event I gave a ghost the ambrosia as a winter fest gift, so not only did the ghost not actually come back to life, he also hated the gift
I hope everyone is ok!! Sending love from uk
You know, the idea with the scenarios actually sounds amazing! Because one, I kinda forgot about those, and two it’s been kinda difficult for me to even log in for a bit, since there was always some sort of bug with it, and I had work and school with school picking up a lot, and the bugs making it take much longer than it should have. The scenarios would be good thought especially for those who maybe don’t start playing until years down the line. Like it kinda just reminds me of those lamps you got for having different sims 3 packs, which I didn’t even know about the sims till after like 2015-2016
I’m from Poland and I genuinely feel very sorry for you guys 💔 You will get through this, I’m still rooting for you 💙
♡♡♡ thanks from the US 🫶
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you.
Snap kneading biscuits is the cutest, and well needed this week.
That k you for your videos! This is a nice distraction, helps keep my peace during this time. Love to everyone having a hard time too, keep your peace too
Snap biscuits! What a treat! On Reaper's Rewards as a scenario, I generally don't play scenarios because they seem to cause issues in my saves? I've not done extensive testing to see if it was really the scenarios, not something I did/mods, but that would be my only potential concern
A few fun facts in case people don't know yet: grimbrosia can be turned into a pet ambrosia treat (and I've read horsebrosia, though I don't have that pack so I haven't done it myself), vampires can use the rewards (and life and death) coffins just like the vampires ones, giving a vampire the chase by death trait has it immediately change to embraced by death. (Can you tell I 70% of the time play with vampires with cats? lol)
i still can't even fathom what happened. thank you for this distraction, we all need it. ❤
i used the scare seeker trait on a haunted house! so whenever my sim got scared the trait would kind of override that moodlet and the sims would be energized instead 14:01
Today I learned about the Alt + F4, thanks :)
I loved the Reaper’s Rewards!❤ I have an older computer, and I was worried this event would not work well for me. Fortunately, I had no trouble with playing through the entire scenario. I also found it a lot of fun, especially since I don’t play with death and resurrection much. I would be happy if they did this again with other content areas and situations. I enjoyed the change of pace with my gameplay. I also liked this distraction video…particularly at this time! Praying for civility and peace throughout this next four years🙏🏼
snap making biscuits stooop😭😭
Snap is literally the cutest thing. I love her so much.
I had that same thing happen with Ghost Night. I thought maybe it was because it was Winterfest and that messed with the Ghosts spawning.
I wish the rewards worked for me. The tasks haven’t showed up since week 2.
I’m trying so hard not to cry. I am not okay, but have just been trying to keep myself distracted. I’m going to pretend.
what is happening i dont understand
Sweden grieves with you. Sending you lots of love.
I’ve been too out of it to watch much RUclips till now. I appreciate the distraction, the cat cam, and the mutual feelings
this is what i needed today! thank you for being a safe space 💙💙💙💙💙
Sending so much love from the uk to anyone struggling in the us, I’m heartbroken for you and worried of what’s to come for the world. Stay strong and safe 💕
I really liked playing through the event from the start and I had no issues with it. I just wish events like this with unique content were more like early access and that everyone would get them a few months later in a sims delivery. Not everyone can be connected to the internet all the time, Ea app is meh, people have limited time to play and may not want to play the event. Fomo can be very stressful for some people and actually would then have the opposite effect than what EA intended and put people off. 😅
I'm not even American but I'm so heartbroken for you guys, sending you my best wishes
I've used the scare seeker lot challenge for awhile now, and I really like it! It makes playing in haunted houses more manageable and people just give you gifts as a thanks for the scare! It's mostly skill books, but once I got a death flower!
Hey Simsie, I hope you’re doing okay right now. I was having a hard day with the election results because I’m scared for me and my brother but I hope he won’t do too much. Sending love from VA
My favorite part of the reaper challenge was definitely the Freezer Bonies I love them like the other plushy collections. Thank you Simsie for the little distraction I and many others really appreciate it. I hope you’re doing as well as can be.
needed this today!
Thank u from germany, for the distraction, because i am in a very anxious mood right now with what happens in the US and also in germany right now. So, thank u and this wonderful community
The event broke in week six and i had to do quite some struggle to get it to work again. But, i love the items and i never cooked ambrosia before. So it was mostly fun for me.
