Many Simmers Say Sims 4 Reward Events No Longer Feel Rewarding
Parts of The Sims 4 community are voicing growing frustration. Since the release of The Sims 4 reward events, players have been less than enthusiastic. Players have raised concerns about recycled assets, pack-dependent rewards, and items that feel underwhelming.
If you agree, you’re not alone! Reddit user QuickNarwhal3942 shared a perspective that resonated with many players on r/Sims4.
Some players feel these events blur the line between rewards and promotions. A considerable amount of the items that are received by accomplishing these reward events are merely recolors, or worse, items that have been recycled for years! In some cases, rewards are tied to packs not all players own, which has sparked debate. For some players, unlocking items that require additional packs has dampened the sense of reward.
Many longtime players say the format is starting to feel tiring. After a decade of The Sims 4, Simmers want fresh ideas and meaningful updates, not limited-time events that some players feel prioritize engagement over enjoyment.
What was meant to be a fun community feature now feels routine for some players. Log in, claim the thing, realize you already own a version of it-or can’t even use it all-and move on.
Players say these events could benefit from fresher rewards, broader accessibility, and items that feel genuinely fun to earn. We need rewards that feel like a thank you, not a sales pitch. Manu in the community hope future events better reflect player expectations.
