The Sims 4: How to get all rewards in the Reaper’s Reward event

Spooky season is upon us

The Reaper’s Reward event, a free and limited-time event in The Sims 4, will begin on September 24. There are a lot of fun rewards up for grabs through completing quests alongside the Grim Reaper, but how does the event work?

The Reaper’s Reward event will be live for eight weeks, giving players two quests a week for six weeks, with a bonus two at the end for those who started late. This means that, in the space of those eight weeks, you’ll need to complete 12 quests to earn ‘Event Points’. These points can then unlock 13 main rewards and a few other items, which we’ll get onto in just a little bit. 

The majority of the quests have not been revealed thus far, but we do know that the first one will involve researching a dish called Ambrosia. It is said to be capable of lifting the spirits of any Sim, and as the event goes on, you’ll learn more about it and eventually learn the recipe. 

How to take part in the Reaper’s Reward event

Taking part is simple, but you’ll need to make sure you’re online and logged in to your EA account before you can start earning rewards. Once that’s done, enter Live Mode with any existing or new household and simply wait for the Grim Reaper to show up. Once he does, you’ll receive a pop-up informing you that the first two quests have begun. 

As you complete the quests, you’ll earn event points and unlock new rewards. To see how many event points each quest is worth or claim rewards, you’ll need to open the event screen by selecting the event icon, which can be found on the screen during Live Mode. 

Once claimed, rewards will be accessible through Build Mode, Create a Sim, or through your Sim’s inventory, depending on the type of reward you’ve claimed. You’ll have eight weeks to work your way through all of the quests and earn all of the rewards.
