Ready your hot cocoa and throw on a sweater because The Sims 4’s Cozy Celebrations event kicks off tomorrow, December 3rd! This seasonal event brings a festive twist to your Sims’ lives with new activities and rewards that will leave even Agnes Crumplebottom smiling (well, maybe).
What to Expect
Following closely on the heels of the Grim Reaper’s spooky shenanigans in the Reaper’s Rewards event, Cozy Celebrations promises a more lighthearted and cheerful vibe. While the exact details are still under wraps, expect a mix of wintery tasks and heartwarming surprises. Rumor has it your Sims might even earn exclusive holiday-themed décor and cozy outfits to make their homes (and themselves) seasonally stylish.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Event
- Mods & Bugs: If your game is more modded than Vlad’s castle is haunted, consider temporarily disabling mods to avoid event hiccups.
- Save Management: Some players recommend creating a dedicated save file for these events—your Legacy Sims will thank you later!
- Take It Slow: There’s no rush to finish all the tasks in one sitting. Events like this are about fun, not stress.
Cozy or Chaotic?
Events like Cozy Celebrations often spark lively debates in the community. Some players are thrilled at the chance for fresh gameplay, while others feel the pressure to participate or face that dreaded FOMO. As one Simmer pointed out, “The great thing about The Sims is that there is no right way to play.” Events like these remind us that choice is key—though we’d still love an option to fully opt out for those who prefer unbothered gameplay.
What Players Are Saying
The Reaper’s Rewards event had its ups and downs, and the community is cautiously optimistic about this new event. One forum user expressed frustration, saying, “Shouldn’t they iron out the issues with reward events before starting another one? There were an alarming amount of people who couldn’t even play them.”
On the other hand, many Simmers see the potential: “I really like the idea of these events because they give my kids extra items without needing new packs. It’s a great way to expand their gameplay!” For others, the events are less about the rewards and more about the experience: “I made a new save just for these events. It keeps things fun and separate from my legacy gameplay.”
Will This Be the One?
Bugs and UI complaints aside, Cozy Celebrations is shaping up to be a great way to embrace the season. Whether you’re here for the holiday spirit or just want to hoard all the free items (who can blame you?), this event is another opportunity to create memorable moments for your Sims.
And hey, if it all goes sideways, just remember, bugs can lead to some of our most memorable moments, and here is one of the best:
It has come to my attention that I can now post this forbidden gif from early Infant development. Enjoy. 😌 pic.twitter.com/EZK3ChJQmE
