Completing the FREE Cozy Celebrations Event for The Sims 4

I'm brazilian and while brigadeiro IS a traditional dish and IS delicious (and really easy to make, i highly recommend) i think its soooo funny its being shown as a traditional CHRISTMAS dish because it might be the only celebration we DONT make brigadeiro for lol

Please never feel bad for taking time off for your health, or for any reason Simsie! We love and support you, and will be here for you whenever you are able to return! I am also sending positive and healing energy your way, hoping for the best and fastest possible recovery of your health.

[@Shayward911]

Do not *ever* feel bad about taking time. You're poorly, you need to rest. We'll all be waiting when you're better. *Never* feel guilty ❤ get well soon Lilsimsie.

[@Moss_piglet13]

I actually like having to do things to get the rewards although I feel like they need more different activities. The amount of times I had to talk to people about holiday traditions and cook is kinda crazy and just highlights how little holiday things there are in the base game. I kinda wish that if you had seasons, some of those tasks would be replaced with things like decorating the tree and putting up house decorations, similar to how there were seance table tasks in the last one if you had paranormal stuff.

[@godzeven]

An in between of this events quests and the last one would be nice

[@Kiki-st5bc]

Such a good idea!

[@samiacristine8484]

Brigadeiro is not a traditional holiday dish (it is a traditional brazilian dish though), the time to eat brigadeiro is whenever you feel like it. We brazilians mostly cook it for birthday parties and sleepovers, but also for that movie afternoon when you just don't feel like leaving home. You shold try it, it's really easy. Just mix cocoa powder, a spoon of butter and condensed milk in a pan and cook it on the stove mixing until it thickens. (You can also add heavy cream to the mix before going to the stove to get a more smooth brigadeiro)

[@jiminpocoyo]

don't forget the butter!

[@neilbiggs1353]

Brazilian 'popcorn'? You make it sound like it serves about the same function!

[@samiacristine8484]

@@neilbiggs1353 It doesn't, but a popcorn a movie and some brigadeiro is the best combination

[@amandaguerra94]

@@neilbiggs1353 YES and you can make sweet popcorn using brigadeiro instead of caramel as a syrup if you don’t cook it as much

tbh I was a bit surprised that the tv is a bit bigger than the one from the luxury kit... also, I didn't know you can play on that snes with 4 people cuz I tested it only with 2 sims

[@Freigeist-g6p]

I feel like the login event rewards should just unlock for everyone at a certain time. Like for this event we could all get the rewards at Christmas. Your reward for participating and finishing the quests would be to get the stuff early. This way there’d be a reward for completing but also the rewards wouldn’t be gone for those who buy the game in the future or don’t have time at the moment.

[@alisonprewett3139]

That is an awesome suggestion

[@Freigeist-g6p]

@ I feel like the quests could be more interesting and complex then, cause they wouldn’t need to be done in ten minutes per mission 😅

[@Nightfire613]

@@Freigeist-g6p That would be so much better! Nobody would miss out, but frequent players still get a reward, nd the quests wouldn't have to be so boring!

[@FalconFern-e6r]

Yes! Also as someone who missed out on the Reaper Rewards event cuz of bugs, it would future proof any other rewards events from tge same problems. The Reaper Rewards event CAS items were things we kinda lacked in basegame so missing out cuz of bugs stinks

[@neilbiggs1353]

I'd say the best solution would be releasing a scenario about 6 months down the line so people who wanted the items could play that scenario and go through the same stages to earn them. I just don't think this particular event makes for a satisfying scenario though

[@thelasthunt3r]

As a Brazilian, seeing brigadeiro and pão de queijo in my game makes me so happy! It's silly, but I know those recipes!

[@wineparty5983]

That's cute 💕

[@sandroribeiro7644]

I actually liked the second event because it taught players how to cook ambrosia, something many players don't know how to do. Although, this Xmas event, I couldn't care less

[@vfin]

EXACTLY!! we didnt need this gameplay 😭

[@JakeFont1920]

Also why would a person with only basegame need this event other than the items, you can't celebrate holidays without seasons lol

[@_Jael]

Free items are free items lol it’s spring and my sim is still getting it done

[@sandroribeiro7644]

@@JakeFont1920 And we literally have that free Xmas dlc. So no need to grind.

[@rolandbaldwin]

Yeah I think if the difficulty was somewhere in the middle of the two it would be better. This was too easy but the grim one was very involved. Also the Grim event adapted to your packs and gave you different options depending on what was in your library.

[@AaronL0905]

This one was kinda meh Reaper's Rewards had too much filler but had a lot of interesting quests going on This one was much more condensed with the rewards but the tasks to complete it were so boring this time We jumped from one side of the spectrum of design of events to the other

[@AaronL0905]

I do believe there is a lot of not really good planning for this The Sims (at least The Sims 4) doesn't have the gameplay structure to integrate events to a regular gameplay session since most of us have like, a ton of saves all at once so making timed events is a weird thing This is what Scenarios should have been imo

[@icarofernandes]

Just a small correction: brigadeiro is not really a HOLIDAY desert, we have those all year, they're more consumed on birthdays parties but it's an everyday kinda desert, they're really easy to make so you can just make it yourself if you're bored and wanting a sweet thing to eat, they are DELICIOUS just in case anyone is curious, the recipe is 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 can of condensed milk and as much cocoa powder you want (but like, 4 tablespoons is good), cook on low heat for about 10/15 minutes, stirring non-stop so it doesn't burn on the bottom and the sides, you know it's ready if the mixture starts detaching from the pan you can cool it and roll them forming little balls, put some butter on your hands, put a small quantity of the brigadeiro and roll it until is a perfect ball, you can cover it with sprinkles, or you can just skip this part and eat it with a spoon :)

[@neilbiggs1353]

I'd love to see Kayla try to make the dishes from the Sims as a series... That said, I don't know if she has any dietary restrictions like being a vegan so it might be impractical for her

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

​@@neilbiggs1353 From what I remember she's vegetarian

[@TaylorHolland21]

The framed Tv has to be my fav item bc i haven't got the modern luxe pack(yet) and I'm always so jealous when you or Vixella especially uses the framed tv from that pack in your builds so I'm happy we get one in base game now!!! Also bro take some time to heal, you're not going to be able to give your audience the best quality videos if you aren't in the best shape yourself with your health so just take a few days to relax! Sending positive vibes your way dude :)))))))

[@bfmartinelli]

Brazillians all united to comment about how brigadeiro isn't a holiday dish here lol We just can't hear someone talking about Brazil and not celebrate kkkkk and by the way, my fav Brazillian dishes in the game are at the jungle adventure stolls: feijoada and pastel de camarão!! Bring it on, baby!! Lol

[@RaSaraTVD]

Né menina kkkkkkk

[@dkmouras]

As a Brazilian I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brigadeiro, it's amazing

[@skyechimes658]

As part of my kids kindergarten geography class, they provide recipes and we got to make this for one of the South America recipes and it was really good.

[@Haileyyyo.o]

Finding out sims 4 had coquito was a highlight for me! I love coquito so much, my mom had a friend that added cream and condensed milk in it to make it super sweet, it was amazing!

[@Duckyshipps]

Hereeee🎉

[@ryuusei1907]

All the Brazilians coming out to comment about brigadeiro is funny 😂😂😂 I'm half Chinese and while my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, something we do make for the typical holiday season is tangyuan, a glutinous rice cake dessert (think mochi but filled with peanut or sesame paste and served in light syrup) to celebrate the winter solstice 🎉

[@FirebladesSong]

Definitely take some time and rest, Kayla! Don't try to work through being sick, because all it does is keep you sick longer!

[@bluflavouredpudding]

When I was playing and the hallacas mission came up I was shocked, I didn't know they were in the game Currently have like 50 hallacas in my fridge so it was fun feeling represented in the Sims, texted my friends immediately and we were all so excited about this because most people think they're the same as tamales but they're not

[@alex9190]

i genuinely love the welcome mat, tv, scarf, and game console. the welcome mat is soooo cute. i wasnt expecting that based on the swatch they showed but the others are actually nice

[@karolinaschmitz7433]

I just found out the pullover, scarf, shoes etc are also available for kids, that was such a great surprise!!

It's true, 2017 feels like a century ago, at this point. I actually liked this event more than the others. I don't know why.

[@CryptidNearby]

The slippers and the welcome mat really surprised me with their swatches. I'm also playing a cheesy Christmas movie save and immediately had my sim in the raccoon slippers to play video games in the attic when her heart broke.

[@kizmvp777]

I really wish they would have given us earmuffs like Jasmine holiday has

[@robynspooner3115]

I'm only like 5 minutes in but what you're doing is the same as me and thats why I'm actally okay with how short this was. It's giving me a base line for a story about a christmassy sim and I had dinner parties and other get togethers to cook the foods for everyone and talk about holidays and I've really been in a storyline slump recently so this has really got me back in the game

[@shirleyregueiro1144]

I just completed it today and tbh I liked it. I loved the frame tv, that’s my favorite item

[@nightvalebunny137]

I have REALLY enjoyed watching Cozy Club, a Simsiemark romance.

[@kaelynharris1895]

The Gunther romance plot line is just like a Hallmark movie! Take care of yourself, Simsie 💕

[@jiminpocoyo]

brigadeiro is SO easy and quick! the usual recipe I use is 1 can of condensed milk (here it's 395 grams), 1 tablespoon of butter (you can also use an vegetal alternative) and some people use chocolate bars (normally the one's with like 60% cocoa), other uses chocolate powder (it's usually what we use to do chocolate milk, they come with sugar) and others use cocoa powder, so it's up to you! normally I use 3 tablespoons of chocolate powder because we always have in my home. if you want the brigadeiro to be more smooth, you can use heavy cream, we also use 1 can (normally it's about 250 grams). you just put everything in a pan and mix until you can see the bottom of it when mixing, usually we do in low heat but sometimes I'm lazy and do it on high heat - works the same! if you want to form small brigadeiro balls, you need to cook a tiny bit more, let it cool down completely, use a spoon to pick some and roll it on your hands. you need to either use water or oil on your hands to make it easier, then you put them on chocolate sprinkles, this is more for birthdays. I always just put on a bowl or a plate, wait to cool down a little bit and eat with a spoon.

[@inv01Gaming]

this log in type event seems to be over the like 20+ days since i didn't know it was a thing until i went back to play the other day and i did like 4 quests worth of stuff in one sitting so it isn't that traditional log in which feels nicer honestly since if someone was to miss out of the moment it unlocks for you to do the quest it doesn't actually cut you out from getting those done, happy that it is a much longer event time

[@브루나-l1v]

Hi, brazilian here! I think you should definitely try brigadeiro at least once, it's super simple to make and it's very good.

[@mariannagregorio2905]

5:24 Kayla, you live in Florida. You can just search for someone to sell brigadeiro to you. There are SO MANY brazillians in Florida.

[@NanaIsMyNickname]

She's vegan

[@mariannagregorio2905]

@NanaIsMyNickname oh. I didn't know that. But she can make vegan brigadeiros at home, they taste the same (I've heard vegans say)

[@RoxyLuffer]

The new Winter themed Frame TV is REALLY nice =3 I like that the best, I think.

[@silasinwonderland2246]

You absolutely MUST try brigadeiro!! It's not too hard to make, you should be able to find some good recipes online or if you know a Brazilian they definitely have a recipe haha

[@nothingbutgianttrees1995]

I wasnt going to bother getting the items but this video changed my mind, i want the free stuff LOL Please take all the time you need for dealing with your health problems!

[@dogsarelife]

I hope you feel better soon!! We care way more about your health than the videos not coming out so don't worry about it and please focus on your recovery! We love you ❤

[@CL-lx2pm]

Honestly I fully forgot about this just before unlocking those bear slippers so thanks for reminding me!

[@ATiredRiss]

I nearly screamed when they added Coquito to the game, and then later added it to this event. Us Boricuas hardly get representation anywhere and it’s so nice to see something of ours! Especially seeing it after I just made a batch for Noche Buena

[@loaixo]

feel better soon kayla ❤❤

[@Lbaekr-z1k]

My favorite reward would probably be the game cube video game consol! I really like the new overlay and it's fun to have and tell a different story! I also love those slippers and the frame TV. Super fun!!

[@rolandbaldwin]

Look after your health. I’ve been sick too this week and my 90 year old Dad is too. We gotta mind ourselves. My favourites are the console, the tv and the bushes. We need so much more landscaping in the game. I often overlap stuff to make custom plants for variety

[@Marie-id9do]

I'm in full support of these silly little events tbh. Almost every game has something like it at some point to try and encourage people to come back and play without having to buy DLC/packs! Whether that be special outfits, weapons, backgrounds for ID cards etc - so I see this as no different!

[@maxroyston5342]

I've been wanting a scarf item in the game since seasons, so I was really excited about that. It's a shame it clips with so many outfits but I still think it's really good where it can be used

[@SageArdor]

Kayla if you need time off for health reasons, or for that matter any reason, please do it. Your needs always come first.

[@iamloved223]

I really appreciated the easier tasks this time, I didn't get to finish the reaper rewards and this all total took me less than an hour to complete the entire thing. Feel better and Happy Holidays to those that celebrate!

[@f.airy.x]

I love the idea of events becoming scenerios

[@ScooterinAB]

I'm glad that they made it quicker to so. I was doing exams and working, so I was only able to play I think twice so far (I still have the last part to finish). Unlike the Reaper Rewards, where it was such a time sink with huge gaps in between, this one let me play when I was able to, even if it was just a few days close together.

[@sofiahmm]

Feel better soonn, Kaylaa! But I do agree that the event is lacking and a lil flop. Please do an updated ranking list. Tyy❤️

[@kelsidysinger7667]

Feel better soon Kayla! Kidney stones are no fun. Take as much rest as you need

[@EmmaKo071201-aiyuan]

I literally do the tasks just to get the little UI thing out of the corner of the screen (the rewards are cute and thank goodness the tasks are simple)

[@LucaNav]

Please get better soon!!! Wishing you a lot of love! it's so cool that they added brigadeiro. You should rly try it if you like chocolate!

[@angelahegemann]

I think my favorites are the bush with lights and the framed tv.

[@hsfhanaa]

I'm grateful that they are leaving it for after the holidays because I'm out of town until the end of the year and I was worried I would miss it. I like these quests, especially the Grim Reaper one as some people may not know about Ambrosia and the skills needed

[@darlenepurcell]

I didn't have time to even log in for this event until this morning. Completed ALL the quests in about an hour. So much easier than the other Eventts were. I wish EA would do something interesting for these events that is a little more challenging. Perhaps solve a mystery treasure hunt. You not only get to keep the treasures you find but the FINAL reward could be something fabulous such as your choice of a code to download a kit that you don't already own. That would be a REAL prezzie for the holidays!

[@NanGears]

I hope you get lots of rest! please take all the time you need to heal! Personally I have been liking the new events, although I know not everyone has - I created a new save that I'm making a new legacy challenge that I play all the events in, and I let their lives kind of be influenced by whatever the themes of the events are (like the first sim was a chef since the event was so cooking focused for ambrosia). It's been really fun and I hope they keep doing events every few months with new free content - it was nice getting the frame TV because I've wanted it but but I didn't want to buy the Modern Luxe kit just for that so I'm glad its base game now. I do wish they would make it so they weren't just limited availability though, because I also feel bad if people miss out. I know they want to encourage people to login NOW so even if they made it available through something like your idea for scenarios in like a few months (like maybe once the next event comes out, have a way to also post the past event and then just have the old ones permanently available to play through), just something that's a better balance than making the opportunity to get these items gone forever.

[@MsSims2Fan1983]

I think this reward event was my favorite. The events fit into the regular gameplay of the family I was currently playing so it didn’t seem strange. The reaper rewards felt so strange in the storyline for that family and I didn’t want to make new sims just for the challenge. I also liked that it was simple and I could do a lot of the quests at one time.

[@LuciaSims745]

Yeah, they should have done these reward events like the scenarios! I've always thought that too! I love all items, all are my favorite. I already played the event and I'm finishing the other event on my 2nd pc too. So, I'm happy it isn't as difficult and grindy as the Grim Reaper Event. I hope they give us all these items for free or make these Events as scenarios, for players who missed out on that. The same I think of old Events we can't play anymore. I as an example just played Sims 4 since october 2022, I don't know who Jasmine Holliday is. I'm going to watch the videos of older events. I wish those old Events were all in scenarios, so that we new simmers could play those. Thx for the video and have a nice cozy and lovely christmas holiday, kayla 💜💜💜

[@lrp71]

Simsie I think you're going too easy on EA with these events. A lot of people didn't finish the last ones not just because of time constraints, but because the events themselves were very buggy. I assume that's the reason this one had such simple steps. And as you mentioned yourself, we got free stuff in the past too! It's just that now they're pushing them as "limited time only" and excluding everyone from enjoying them.

[@jencoleman0504]

I completed the whole event within an hour and a half (including long CAS time)/about 3-4 sim days I think lol. I started in winter and ended the day after winterfest. Very easy but you can add your own spin to things, like throwing a party and such.

I wish it was like a quest on other games, where you agree to do it an have to accomplish it in a certain amount of time, or log on a certain amount of time in a certain period-- because the Grim one broke for me, and I could not get the rewards, AND I was doing finals. Everyone should have access to these-- they are fun!
