Events are time-limited, themed challenges in The Sims 4. When you take part, you can earn exclusive rewards that can be used in-game, across Build Mode, Live Mode, or Create a Sim.

Events are available across all platforms: PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation®.

There are two types of Events you can take part in:

• Gameplay Events let you earn Event Points by completing Quests in The Sims 4 over a set period of time. You can redeem these Points for free rewards.

• Login Events let you earn rewards by logging in to The Sims 4 over a set period of time. Find out more about how Login Events work with our video guide.

Earn rewards through Gameplay Events

Launch the game, and make sure you’re online. Select the Events Tab in the Main Menu to view the Events Screen. Enter Live Mode, and a pop-up will ask you to accept the first Quest.

To earn rewards in Gameplay Events, you’ll need to complete the weekly Quests to earn Event Points. There are Quests to complete each week, and every Quest has multiple objectives. Hover over any of the Quests for tips and info on how to complete them. When you complete a Quest, a pop-up notification will tell you what to do next.

If you finish all Quests, you’ll have to wait for the following week to unlock the next Quests.

Started the Event late or missed a week? Not to worry, there are two buffer weeks at the end of the six weeks where you can catch up on what you missed!

You can check in on your progress and rewards by opening the Event Icon in the upper left of Live Mode. When you unlock a reward, a Wall Notification will prompt you to open the Event Screen to claim your reward.

Earn rewards through Login Events

When you launch the game, select the Events Tab in the Main Menu to bring up the Events Screen and claim your first reward.

Login Events run for several weeks. You’ll need to log in multiple times throughout the Event to unlock all rewards. Each Login Event may run for different periods of time, so the amount of times you’ll need to log in will vary from Event to Event.

You can claim different rewards each week. Once you’ve claimed the rewards for that week, you’ll need to come back the following week to claim more.

1. Open the Events Screen through:
   • the Main Menu by selecting the Event Tab.
   • Live Mode by selecting the Event Icon in the top-left corner.
2. Once you’ve opened the Event Screen, available rewards will appear here.
3. Select Claim.

If the Claim button is grayed out, or not there, you don’t have enough Event Points to claim this reward. To earn more Event Points, you’ll need to complete more objectives.

Have multiple rewards to claim? You can claim these all at once by selecting Claim in the Event Screen.
