the sims is doing ANOTHER login event...?!

[@lucassantiago697]

Please make a video each week. I’m too invested in Noelle’s story now. A hallmark Christmas movie in the sims? I’m so here for it.

[@melaniemoul]

Yes I agree! I feel like Kayla doesn’t create as much in depth backstory as other creators, which is totally fine, but I love just the simple one she created on the fly for these characters!

[@LaBlueStateGirl]

Yes please! Mostly for the story but also to remind me to grab the items I want and didn't get because I'm busy!

[@lille-my95]

yes please

[@purplecurlsashley1989]

Please make a video each week

[@posit8ns]

ME TOO!!!

[@nakseli]

"Summer is not invited because it's winter" SENT ME

[@lisagustafsson339]

Didn't know Simsie was a comedian! The way I almost spat my water out!!

[@claudiabcarvalho]

I wasn't expecting that either 😂😂😂

[@funniburnz4942]

She could totally get the grinch trait!

[@kate_isawesome1207]

She just do that because of her name.

[@SiennaPineDew]

Winter holiday lol

[@claireworthingtonmills3232]

I was thrilled to see the frame tv as a reward! I personally like these events a lot, I think they are fun to do the mini task list

[@evelina4909]

Right! Like right now, this is the only way I am getting around to actually playing The Sims 😱😅

[@laurenlovesstories]

I am SO excited about the frame tv if the rewards keep being this good I will be ok with more of these events

[@tistlenut]

Yes! I wanted a framed tv, but I didn't want anything else in the pack it came in.

[@Sytrylt]

Same !! I was so hyped ! That and the console made my Day !! 🎉

[@embertheelder]

agreed! I'm SO happy to have new swatches of frame TV because the existing ones are a little special.

[@vamplinvamp]

She’s gonna be so excited when she realizes the northern lights painting is actually a new frame tv😎

[@sarroska7116]

I didn't even notice that thanks for telling me~ 😂

[@questhavenplays]

💯

[@CaitlinSims]

omg yes i’m so excited for it too!!!

[@sara635]

im from romania and when i saw the update i actually started crying i really didnt expect to get traditional clothing and food from romania in the game 💔💔💔💔

[@sara635]

btw u pronounced mămăligă and mucenici perfectly 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mjm3091]

To be fair we did just get a Romanian based world - even if they fully whitewashed it, leaving no ethnic names. Which is disappointing, considering Romanian isn't hard to pronounce.

[@julialovesgfriend]

that’s really cool I’m happy for you 🥹 that’s exciting I wish could taste Romanian food irl

[@heathenised]

​@@mjm3091 that and the fact that Romanians ARE white too... how EA managed to whitewash white people is beyond me... When is it white enough?!? /j

[@lalka_motanka]

Im from Poland but i also was really happy, because i like romanian culture and its quite similar to polish, so I can use headscarves and stuff like that for my sims! ^^

[@raemonkay]

I honestly love the idea of doing mini lets plays for these events, like a short story, and a reminder for us to do it too! Especially for the holiday it's like your own little Christmas rom-com. Of course you don't have to but I'd love to watch that.

[@chicabear]

The reaper event was actually fun, I never had any reason to make ambrosia before. I hope this will have a similar thing, they're kinda like scenarios having you do something different than your used to with gameplay. And hopefully less buggy. I think one thing that could be changed is instead of having each section of the event time locked (which they did shorten this time around) it should all be available to finish from the start, or have it locked by sim days instead of actual days. It would probably take a bit to find the right balance of amount of tasks, how quick it takes to complete them all, and how long the event would be on for but I think that would work better.

[@jalenc1997]

I love these events! I've been playing sims since highschool and I've never once made ambrosia before.. it was alot of fun!

[@Quintwuzhere]

I really enjoy these events too, i just wish they were setup to be scenarios anyone could play anytime so theres no rush but encouragement. The sims is a game made for sharing with the community, having exclusive cas or build items ruins what is such a core part of the experience.

[@chicabear]

@Quintwuzhere I think they've given up on scenarios, which sucks because they just becoming really good, the events feel like a spiritual successor. And I feel like what they should do with the items is add them to the game a few weeks after the event finished so people that participate in the event get 'early access' to the new items, no one misses out but the events still feel worth it.

[@explorationgmer1336]

Same I enjoyed it. I would if they give us more task for our sims to do and unlock random objects. That would make me want to play the game especially, for us simmer that only prefer building.

[@HaileyWiggins24]

So the painting in the rewards is actually a tv! It says that in its description!❤

[@zacharykhan8556]

I really wished Kayla clicked on the aurora picture frame, it's not just a picture, it's a TV! I thought that was really exciting that everyone gets one now, because the one from the Modern Luxe Kit is probably my favorite TV to use.

[@roxierawr]

Ikr I was like I wonder if anyone else caught that

[@serenityxnf]

As a person from Eastern Europe (I’m from Bulgaria) it’s so cool to see items inspired by our part of Europe. I feel like we were always slept on by the sims team.

[@lalka_motanka]

This is the closest that sims will ever be to eastern european representation, probably

[@minasofino]

same, im from turkey and i was so happy to see some of these clothing items, and some of the architectural styles in the life and death pack look so endearingly familiar it melts my heart

[@biankagricova5134]

OMG I love the clothes with Slavic folklore theme, we don't have anything Slavic. I WISH that EA did Slavic inspired pack.

[@Luqn.6]

they give us like a polish walkway/brick thing, i need more

[@gosiab6871]

i want city with post soviet neighbourhood

[@biankagricova5134]

@gosiab6871 yes totally

[@cashmerenerd]

yes please (but small correction, romania is actually not a slavic country, it’s just bordered by many slavic countries)

[@endersquid1132]

​@@cashmerenerdI mean slavic and baltic country's definitely share similarities though and with how ambiguous the sims is I wouldn't say L&D doesn't also have slavic influence in it

[@PinkSinsila]

As a Romanian, was incredibly hyped when I opened the game today and saw the new clothing and food! They're looking great!

[@AlonaLorelina]

Its a base game free tv, not art, which is awesome! And also its every couple days rather than every week! Excited to play it all out.

[@thebatchild]

I like that they seem to be adjusting the events based on feedback. I'm a fan of these events in general, but I like quest-based stuff, so it's nice to have some objectives, even if they're short. I did like your idea of having the events saved as a scenario you can play whenever you want (they really need to do more with the scenario feature), but I'm curious to see what future events hold.

[@ann-gt4hh]

I don't mind these events, but I wish we could complete them at any time. Considering how the past two were very glitchy, it's just not fair to make these limited time. More holiday themed items is cute, and I'm happy to see pack limited items included! (the frame tv) bc it means if you don't have the pack, you get the item! and if you do have the pack, you have two! Thanks to the employees at sims for making these items!

[@madis7588]

Exactly! I think unlocking new things through challenges and gameplay is a cool idea! But the game is so buggy as it is and the reaper event broke so many times for me, I didn't have the free time to finish it because of how many times I had to fix it and lost progress. And looking online, it seems like so many people had the same problem. They spent time on making such cool rewards, but they can't be appreciated by everyone because of the time restriction 😞

[@jayemover_16]

It's really nice that it's condensed this time, no filler rewards and less waiting. Very nice, a step in the right direction for sure.

[@marsarson3620]

oh lord.. third times the charm? right??

[@beentheredonethat30]

I really hope so! First one I was able to connect and get the rewards, but the last one, the reaper's reward, I wasn't able to get any rewards! The tasks to complete wouldn't even show up😅

[@sadgirlchanel.]

the first two hardly worked for me but surprisingly this one appeared instantly in a pre existing save and had no issues with week one!

[@claudiabcarvalho]

There's only 1 branch of quests and 0 letters, you just need to talk to people and cook a dish. I didn't even need to disable mods, everything is working perfectly fine right now.

[@missliss2581able]

Im hoping so. The first one worked, the reaper’s rewards did not work for me at all. So far, this one is fine but I had to take all my mods and cc out and I’m afraid to put it back in until the event is over, which is annoying

[@emilyadder1574]

I'd love to watch a week by week playthrough, for the plot, the gunther munch plot will be adorable

[@daleblanquita]

i was a little salty about them giving us four wreaths but i guess it helps to think of them more like the freezer boneys from the previous events. I'm super excited about the game console and scarf

[@SparkleWolf404]

Exactly that, they’re in the same collectible category as those freezer boneys

[@Molisa682]

The fact that you can't put them on a door because they block a sim from going through it is extremely stupid

[@jessberch7041]

I love learning about different foods with different meanings across cultures through the sims. Learning random (but accurate) facts through games or shows or even like in random homework questions about math was my favorite thing as a kid. It’s probably the adhd but when I get to learn about something that I’m not “supposed” to be learning about I.e. history quip of a small country woven into a math problem it just tickles a part of my brain and sometimes even leads to a google deep dive of said subject.

[@Nightfire613]

I need to see Noelle's story continue! Please make this a mini series!

[@sleepytangerin3]

Please make this a series! I get really invested in character's stories. I also really hope this event works this time. I got to week 5 of the reaper's rewards and mine broke, locking me out of the last rewards. None of the fixes on the forums worked :(((

[@junerussell6972]

They're recommending that people do the "event" in a new save (rather than your favorite save, just in case something goes wrong) and without *any* mods (because those can cause events to mess up.)

[@junerussell6972]

I couldn't get the wreath to be on the door or the window, only the wall. (I didn't have it on "bb.moveobjects" so that may make a difference.)

[@questhavenplays]

💯my reaper event was messed by a save that had mods at one time

[@ismaluu]

12:57 "Summer's not invited cuz this is winter" KAYLA WITH THE DAD JOKES COMING IN HOT

[@AstronomicalJelly]

or in this case cold

[@annamauritz2574]

Every week please! It's fun to tag along. Last event didn't even work for me (thankfully this one does) and I still enjoyed your Let's-play about it :)

[@AaronL0905]

I love that you made a straight up Hallmark Christmas Movie protagonist for the event

[@baihelair]

I think a let's play would be fun! especially if we get a sort of cross over with either your nightmare legacy or not so berry challenges :) and I like this new event because it's not bugged for me and I can actually play it lol

[@JELea-wc6re]

The wreaths are part of a collection, that's why they have no swatches :) Also, I don't think we have any scarf items yet (since this isn't attached to clothes, it's listed as an accessory!).

[@madelinehogan7757]

i would love to see her rom com story play out each week!

[@reneemorehead5154]

I feel like they should make it so EVERYONE gets the event items once the event is over, but if you want them earlier, you can play through the rewards

[@steggopotamus]

Agree. I feel like the way EA would agree to is a year later.

[@maxymeq07]

I can finally make a typical Polish Grandma in the sims!!!

[@lalka_motanka]

Finally, i can make myself in the sims♡

[@ellennathalia898]

I really really liked the frame TV and the old video game thing!!!

[@Itssooupy]

the way kayla didn’t realize it was a FRAME TV

[@luishenriquefalconifilho2124]

"I gave her the Clumsy, Bookworm and Outgoing traits" - This is smelling like a Hallmark character... xD

[@UnassumingLlama]

I was hoping they’d bring back Jasmine Holiday as a sim for the event, but I will take the (non-event locked) BG items as a compensation

[@KowaiZuzu]

I really liked the last event and I like this one even more! It's festive, has good stuff, they got rid of the unnecessary rewards like potions, and it's twice a week so you don't have to wait a long for the next one! It's like they fixed all the issues I had with the last event. And it comes with free stuff outside of the event too! I love it. I hope they do this all the time! And I'd love a weekly update on Noelle! Since the event is bi-weekly you could just smoosh the two into one video and it'd give you more content.

[@shadowqueen9467]

Unfortunately, Christmas time is very busy. A lot of people visit family for the holidays. Personally I travel from Estonia to Denmark to visit my dad's side of the family for Christmas. I am gone around a week and I'm not going to have access to a computer, much less one that can run Sims. Then you have to factor in time to buy last minute gifts and wrapping them all, not including traveling and travel essentials that also need packing. All of that and you still have to add school/work holiday events.

[@mara.m_]

It was just Romania's national day this past weekend, so their timing is great. Ps you pronounced mamaliga well!! ❤

[@arrow_awsome]

btw if anyone wants the frame tv early (the thing simsie thought was a painting of the northern lights; ) it is currently in the eco lifestyle dumpster! i was playing rags to ritches yesterday and was surprised like 'oh thats new' XD

[@Nessanna_J]

I’m liking these quest style login events. I only started playing The Sims 4 this year so there’s a lot of stuff I’m not familiar with. This feels like a good way to help new players learn more about the game, that might not be obvious at first.

[@Mkkslider]

Hello??? The hot cocoa tray is so cute and the detail on the drinks??? Amazing!

[@ivanasiminka]

So, the geography is such an interesting thing. Romania is not a Slavic country, but it has/had Slavs on its territory -part of Banat region is in Romania and smaller part is in Serbia (slavic country). There are so many architecture and folclore parallels its crazy! But this blew my mind. Mucenici, the dish that came with newest update, has Serbian (slavic) title. Go Google Translate and type "Mučenici" and you'll get "Martyrs" -exactly what the recipe info says. So cool how in Serbia there is no dish like that, at all, but Romaina has it. And Serbia probably has some food name that Romania has long forgotten :) Yay Balkans!!

[@sarahkhan8177]

As a player who only has base game, I’m super excited for the frame tv

[@kaylaorange5375]

The new wreaths are actually a new in game collection as well!

[@katielarocco1414]

I always love more clutter stuff. I play a lot with cottage living so that blanket set is so nice.

[@lisabrown8889]

LOVING the Holiday Rom Com idea

[@prismstone1679]

I would love to see weekly vids about this event!

[@NicolesBookishNook]

I really like events. They aren’t glitchy for me but I don’t have that many packs/expansions, so I bet that helps. I also play RuneScape and these events remind me of what RuneScape puts on every holiday. Though RS is way more brutal than Sims 4; if you don’t log in every single day, you miss the reward.

[@steggopotamus]

I got super burned out from logon rewards because of MMOs. So, ultimately I don't think they should stay logon rewards. I'd be ok with it if they had the event and then a year later turned it into an in-game repeatable quest for every sim to do so it can be a part of their story. Perhaps in their character sheet it could record that they completed that quest or something.

[@dennza]

As a romanian, I AM SO HAPPY!! It's the bestest thing it's a free update!

[@sarah62137]

I really like these events when it’s stuff I’ll use in game. The Reaper one wasn’t really my thing but this one I’m really excited for. I love love the hot cocoa tray, that’ll fit in with gameplay so well like after a family snowball fight. One thing I wish they’d add is being able to watch Winterfest movies.

[@hannahweaver7292]

ok but that dine out glitch was getting on my last nerve!! I thought it was my mods!!! ITS BEEN BROKEN SINCE FOR RENT

[@imkellyonfire]

Yasss christmas hallmark romcomm! They need to take a small vacation to a christmas castle pls

[@Lulu-rr7jq]

I hope it doesn’t have glitches like the old ones Last time the quests would disappear and i could not bring them back and nothing would fix it And the previous one, all the prizes disappeared, i play on console and as far as I knew it happened to everyone on console, but they fixed it Maybe 3rd time is a charm 😅

[@steggopotamus]

They desperately need to make an option for the event to restart it completely and also to restart a particular step of the event. I feel like it would help people troubleshoot. Like for me, they started the delivery of the ambrosia letter to whatever family I started that play session with, and not the family I wanted to play with, so I had to go back to that other family to complete that step.

[@samanthamreser]

I like the addition of more food, but the pie menu is getting overwhelming and I wish there was a way to organize by favorites or something! Personally I think Noelle left the big city and moved back to her deceased parents' cottage so she can finally focus on her writing career and baking skills, and then she falls in love right in time for WinterFest... Could also be fun to have WinterFest be the culmination of this quest storyline!!

[@graceblondell7320]

let’s do it every week! i’ll need reminders to go in and get the stuff, and i’m reading divine rivals right now so i’m loving the rival writers story line. I’m excited for the little bear slippers

[@wendy-1250]

That headscarf is what I am wearing right now irl. This is amazing!

[@Deviledegg69420]

Pleaseeee make it a video each week! The grim videos were my favourite and have been so comforting lately:)

[@RaeCharm]

Oh thank god about the Dine Out patch. My sims can sometimes request a table, but if it’s a date or event, it NEVER WORKS. So my sims keep going on these awful dates. Relatable, but still.

[@Niyura]

We want to see it every week! :D

[@Niyura]

And I'm happy about all the items! I have played the enemys to lovers scenario with him disliking Christmas (his name is Grollo Grinch) and she is toooootally into Christmas, all her outfits are very Christmas themed and he dislikes red and green. They were tricked and bought the same house but no one of them wanted to move out. So at first they hated each other and did mean things (he is also a spellcaster, she is a vampire) but they found each other very attractive sooooo... Nowadays they love each other and have children together😁 And now they can get more Christmas things! Their house is decorated the whole year.

[@zebrathinker]

Cute items! But man I wish they would either flesh out these events with more quests, or speed it up by lowering the time in between new stages of the event.

[@isabela9005]

i would watch a video for each week of this romcom - esque event you got

[@erikaheck8261]

Simsie: “We’ve all seen that movie.” Me: Yeah, You’ve Got Mail

[@sarahbeauchamp2217]

I hope you do a whole series on the event!!! I like that they're not complicated, I think it just adds some fun storytelling stuff :)

[@heathenised]

I finally understand how other people felt when they introduced their traditional items/foods/clothing in the game... the fact that my sims can now make and eat mămăligă, a food that I've been eating since childhood and that i have many fond memories of, has me giggling and kicking my feet since yesterday 😂 like, I'm genuinely so happy!! ❤ It's so silly lol 😭💀

[@cameron7185]

YES PLEASE DO A VIDEO EACH WEEK!!! i love the idea of a hallmark enemies to lovers Christmas movie storyline!! i’m too invested now with Noelle and Gunther. make it a mini series!!! 🎄

[@elcinsezen5076]

9:54 Thanks to the sims 1-2-3 I learned not only food names but also a whole new language.😂

[@fiveangrybunnies1470]

The new bread looks like those "S"'s we all drew in middle school 😅

[@BachZhaa]

I like your writer romcom story. I could see each week of this. Your call. Love the content as always.

[@m4tta]

THE NEW DRESS IS GORGEOUS OMG

[@ArnoldesOaseb]

Omg I'm really just doing this event for the frame TV and game console....happy holidays simmers🎄🎅

[@FirebladesSong]

Honestly, same. Less so for the game console but the frame TV was the only thing I really liked from that kit so the chance for a basegame one is great.

[@wendyvandervlag4770]

The picture is actually a frame tv

[@julianna.nolletti]

12:59 summer’s not invited cuz it’s winter made me laugh more than it should’ve 😂😂

[@nataliemoore1276]

I cannot stand these log in events. I can't even grt the Sims 4 / EA app to work half the time. And any update takes hours since the EA app crashes if I "Update" rather than "Repair".

[@izabelamc]

We need more Slavic items and clothing... been saying that foe years ❤ love it ❤

[@HimeLunaMoon]

Ngl I want that freezer bunny wreath it's cute. Excuse me I love oatmilk hot chocolate with non dairy peppermint creamer

[@roarimadino8544]

Peppermint in hot chocolate is my favorite!

[@Angelbratt87]

I'm finding it annoying that during these events i can't safely use mods or it is likely to break the event... I feel like its playing on FOMO to keep people engaged while also limiting players to official content only, idk if it's intentional but it feels manipulative to me.

[@Shell05231]

Oo this looks like it's going to be a fun one, I do love that hedge! 😍 Those slippers look cute too, and who doesn't love a frame TV! I'm excited to be able to do this week by week this time as well, for the Halloween one I didn't have access to my game and was unable to so had to kind of rush it all!

[@nerdyPanda7288]

5:27 so a Hallmark movie.

[@Mo_the_Gremlin]

Hope this works better than the last one. I couldn't get past the second week of Reaper's Rewards and I tried everything to fix it. Same thing happened with the first event, I got half way and then I didn't get anything.

[@ShaylayBoyce]

We need a Daddy Winter romance storyline!

[@Creepynightmarre]

🌟Screaming in Slavic 🌟

[@harleaarmstrong7659]

My game is broken, I hate these events 😓 I missed all of the last ones, too

[@itslele_]

wait since when that at 14:25 is an item (the thingy with the 6 sketches) that's so cool???

[@FeralButtercup]

Came in Growing Together the default swatch has brightly coloured children's drawings on it, I didn't know it had this swatch!

[@M-Angel25]

I think that's not a painting, that's a tv 🤔 10:46

[@mirandag.3277]

i tend to make a lot of country houses and cabins(horse ranch and cottage living are the best packs ever lol) so that quilt rack is going to be PERFECT in my houses. thats such a great addition. and i love how you just made your own hallmark christmas movie lmaoo i'd love to see the full lets play of it!!!

[@ioana421]

I was so surprised and excited about this update! It made me kinda emotional when I heard it was an update based on Romanian culture!!!! That is absolutely major! Coming from a Romanian, I would have never thought that we would get anything like this in the game. This is amazing! Also the new world being based on Romanian style, nature and architecture (the big head sculpture is actually real, you can search it up online as the head of Decebal). It’s all surreal! I’m so excited and grateful for this positive exposure of Romania, it has been long awaited.❤❤❤❤

[@nia728]

Kayla's eyes match her sweater perfectly! It looks so good!

[@NurseGardenerRN]

That sweater color makes your eyes look rly nice.

[@acebildz1253]

My favorite item is the frame tv, followed by the scarf. I'm hoping that scarf comes in some solid colors, as well as that plaid. It would be so much more versatile that way. I love the frame tv from the Modern Luxe Kit, but the images are just SO feminine. I always hesitate to place it in bachelor pads. The swatches on this one look so much better! I'll be able to use it in so many more situations.

[@ShannonRose99]

I’m still fuming that the grimborn trait deforms your sims, but instead of fixing it, now Nyon is bugged out too 🙃

[@donotme8061]

The new items are fine - I just want an opt out feature for these events because the icon is so loud, some of the tasks are buggy, and I was so mad that I couldn’t play chess at the library during the grim reaper event

[@joanabug4479]

The bugs drove me mad too so I only ended up postponing it until it was too late 😂 and if that's the case... I'm with you. The trouble to get them seems to be greater than the quality of some of them anyway... not to mention there's "breaks" in-between where you get friggen potions as if it's the tutorial events 😂😂

[@HaldjasHelina]

The cocoa tray is so cool! I'm leaving for a trip soon, but hopefully I can still finish this when I get back. The time slot is shorter this time, but not absurdly so at least. Also seconding everyone who wants a Noelle LP.

[@LynetteFletcher-b4r]

Love the new tv and the retro console

[@AmberSerrano-m7v]

I would love to see a video weekly of this as a let’s play!! Also I think my favorite items would be the retro game station, new food, hot chocolate tray, and the lights on the bushes! Such a good drop!!

[@handel2502]

(cringes inside) Hugo Villareal is the chef of the Villareal household! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It's nice to see some additional Romanian heritige stuff added since Life and Death has to focus hard on a specific theme and CAS style. This does feel like a much more chiller one than the Reaper's Reward event. I'm going with Kevin Puri in the Price household as the lead for this one! He's a transfer student and would totally want to know local traditions.

[@marisabond]

This is awesome. I love the storyline and this video made me actually excited about playing the event myself. Also, of topic, that sweater brings out your eyes perfectly

[@forevercrypticshadow8473]

I did enjoy not having to do anything the first login reward lol. But this one doesn’t seem too tricky and seems like it could work with saves I already have. I did part of the reaper reward event but eventually stopped because the gameplay just really didn’t fit the storyline of my cottage core sims I was playing at the time. Of course I could have made more sims but I probably wouldn’t have played that save again so just didn’t bother. I like that this one makes more general sense since anyone could be celebrating the holidays and learning about traditions.

[@healthytrout]

Mamalyha ❤❤❤ a pan-carpathian ultimate comfort food. Yes please I have a wish for Ukrianian food in the sims bc seeing celebrities in del Sol valley enjoying Borshch is the crossover I want to see

[@challah_back_femme9857]

I wish that it had been for more winter holidays than just for Christmas. Sims once again forgetting about other religions

[@Badwolf2119]

That’s fun I made a Christmas themed sim when I heard about the event and I literally gave her the same swimsuit you used it just seemed like the closest to a Christmas themed swimsuit
