What Free Items Can I Claim In The Reaper’s Rewards Event?
Each week has acombination of permanent rewards as well as consumable items.Below is a complete list of every available quest reward.
Death Flower
Re-Traiting Potion
Allpermanent rewards are items which unlock for purchasein Build Buy or Create A Sim modes. These will be available to purchase in any save game, by any household.
Allone-off rewardsare put into theinventoryof the active Sim atthe point they are claimed. Many of these are linked to death-related features in the game, soit’s likely that they may be needed for some of the quests.We recommend that youdon’t sell them!
Thelast five rewards are all one-off items,so if you do miss out on a few points you should still be able to claim the permanent items.
Do I Need The Paranormal Stuff Pack To Complete The Event?
Week one’s quests have already caused concerns since one of the chains requires you to’Ask the spirits about Ambrosia’which you can only do if you have Paranormal Stuff and canpurchase the Seance table.
There isclarification about this on EA’s websiteunderThe Sims 4 Event Help.
Some Quests are Pack-specific, so you’ll only see these if you have the Pack installed… Packs may help you earn Event Points faster because you’ll have additional objectives to complete, but they’re not required to take part in the Event.
EA Help
In week one, we couldclaim up to and including, the Scare Seeker Lot Challengewithout doing the Paranormal quest. Once we completed that final quest, we were also able to claim the Happy Potion.
EAs forums state thatpacks are not essential, and will just help you gain rewards quicker.AnFAQ on EA’s websitealso suggests you mayhave Event Points left overif you complete every single objective.
Given this week’s experience, combined with the official answers,it seems likely that you’ll be able to claim all the main rewards listed each week,but the extras, including the Freezer Bunny Collectibles, may be at the crossover point. Thus, the pack simply allows you toclaim a couple of consumable items slightly earlier mid-event.
