Sims 4 Grim Reaper Event Glitch: Troubleshooting and Fixes
The limited-time event, Sims 4 Reaper’s Rewards, is currently causing frustration for many players due to glitches preventing them from fully experiencing it. From summoning the Grim Reaper to completing tasks for unique rewards, there’s a lot to enjoy in this event. If you’re having trouble triggering or completing the event, there’s one key issue to address. Here’s what you need to know.
Remove Mods
If you have been using mods or custom content, try disabling them in-game to activate the Grim Reaper’s Rewards event in The Sims 4. Make sure to disable mods within the game settings rather than manually removing the mods folder. Additionally, if you use Better BuildBuy, disable organized debug first. Keep an eye out for mod updates that may be causing conflicts with the event UI.
Verify Game Files
Verify your game files to repair any potential issues that may be hindering the event from starting. For Steam users, right-click on Sims 4 in your library, go to Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files. For EA app users, launch the app, go to your Library, select Sims 4, click on the three-dot menu, and choose Repair.
Reaper Event GUI Issues
Some players are encountering a bug where tasks are not displaying properly during the event. This known issue may result in blank tasks without instructions or icons. Check EA bug reports for more information on this error. Players are also experiencing difficulties when claiming rewards, often due to pausing the game during a loading screen or saving before the GUI fully loads. To avoid this issue, refrain from pausing the game around loading screens and ensure that the GUI and tasks have fully loaded before interacting with the game.
