Reaper's Rewards: Grim Icon Visible But No Quests Available [ Edited ]

[furryEli]

@JonaO703 My friends account was already fixed on my end I’m pretty sure i deleted his data when I deleted mine when i deleted my data file

(because I had to fix all of his settings again aswell just like mine and his event is working to)

@furryEli   Thanks again for your replies and testing!  I decided to pay the $9.99 for a monthly subscription to PS+.  I can now confirm that it is in fact different than using a USB storage device.  When I selected the option to upload data to the cloud, I was presented with a list of my saves and also the User Data file to upload.  I did not get that when I attempted to move data to the USB device.  I was then able to delete the game data and the save data from my PS5.  The game is now downloading but my internet speed is really slow so it may take a while for me to test downloading my saves back from the cloud.  Still, I wanted PS players to know that the PS cloud option to preserve saves may be a viable option for them, since I think the main concern is potentially losing long term saves.  I will provide an update when I'm able to DL my save data back to my PS5 but I do think this process should be a safe way to preserve game saves.

got the work around to work for one single round of the event and back to just the icon no more events or plumbobs… real waste of time

Still having this problem. Tried the "potential fix."

This worked for me. If you need help I am Cailindreams on PSN.

You don't have to delete every thing @EA_Cade . This worked on ps4. Thank you @Stevv002 !

I saw @Stevv002 s post earlier and I did save to the cloud, though if you only delete the one file it does not interfere with saves. You have to re accept terms and conditions and treats you as a new player, but not real data loss!

@Cryo_SD I might have a workaround for you and your wife to complete the Event! And anyone else with more than one xbox in their household.
I also had an issue with week 5, except I'd completed "An Inspiring Potion" and had "Skilled Chef" missing. I had both quests before the forced update kicked me out my game, thanks EA.

I fixed my issue and completed wk5 & wk6 as follows...
Sign into another xbox and launch Sims 4
Load a New Game.
Create a sim (I replaced them with a high skilled sim from My Library to speed things up).
Place household in a lot and play.
I then got the "Skilled Chef" quest for Week 5 that I was missing.
Play through the rest of the quests to complete all.
Claim the remaining rewards.
Save Game. (I did this in case and over my oldest save)
Sign out of xbox.
Sign in to your usual xbox and launch sims.
Load any game save you want to play.
You should now have all the CAS and Build/Buy items available.

I only had the base game on the 2nd xbox, I didn't bother with any EPs, hence why I created a new game, might work with an already saved game but I couldn't sit there installing everything.

Hope this helps.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Up to date (last update thus morning)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Cottage Living, Growing Together, Horse Ranch, For Rent. Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville, Realm of Magic, Dream Home Decorator. Romantic Garden, Kids Room, Vintage Glamour, Toddler, My First Pet, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Home Chef Hustle, Crystal Creations.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open the game in any save file.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I opened my save file to carry on the Reapers Rewards Challenge, the button to click to open the awards window is there, and I can click on it. I can see the awards I have claimed, and where I am up to in the tasks, but not the little icon to open the Task GUI. I have played through a holiday since, and that one appeared correctly, but not the Reapers Rewards tasks.
What do you expect to see? The menu icon in the top right corner with the tasks underneath when I click it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The patch from this morning, but I have not played the game in a week.

‌

I have already removed all mods and reset my save file after the patch for Life and Death. I left it that way to play through the challenge with a clean game. 

Everything was going fine until the update this morning, although I have not played in a week, and so I was wondering if the fact the original six weeks has passed and we are in the 'extra time' part of the challenge may have something to do with it?

To try to fix this, I have:

• started a new game with a new sim
• completed a repair through the EA App
• completed a refresh of the files (removing the games files from my EA folder in Documents)

I don't know what else to do to try to fix this, so here I am! I hope someone can help me, I would like to finish this before the time is up...
