Events in The Sims 4
Events are a limited time experience, centered around a fun theme, with free rewards or gameplay that adds new opportunities to your game.
Our team created a platform for these new Events to live. Something that is flexible, easier to update, and will be easy for you to find and claim those rewards. Our designers have been busy making this new system shine and preparing for the first Event, while our artists have been creating new objects and Create-a-Sim pieces.
The first Event will be “The Sims 4 Happy at Home Login Event,” where rewards can be claimed simply by logging in to the Main Menu for a limited time. This Event includes a suite of items that will help create a comfortable hangout space where your Sims can refine their skills with the new Practice Makes Perfect trait.
There will be updates in the future that bring additional layers to what you can see and do. The team is working on adding gameplay to Events, perhaps a quest or two to explore, and even more rewards to claim.
The team will be developing Events with objects and gameplay connected to The Sims’ Season. Events can also be timed to a variety of different occasions in a calendar year or a general theme that we look forward to sharing with you in the future.

[*] Each day, new game items are unlocked and ready to claim from The Sims 4 main menu.
[*] Click the Event tile on the main menu to view the Event screen.
[*] From the Event screen, select “claim” on any unclaimed Event rewards.
[*] The claimed rewards will be added to Build Mode or Create-a-Sim. The team has added a new Event filter under the Special category in both Create-a-Sim and Build Mode that can help you quickly find the rewards you’ve claimed.
[*] Each week a new set of rewards become available to view (each will unlock daily).
[*] Any days you miss claiming your reward can be claimed at any time during the duration of the Event, and up to one week after the Event ends

Claim these rewards and add them into your game to create a stay-at-home retreat perfect to invite friends and family over to enjoy some snacks and a round of games or choose to mix and match them with other items to tell the story of your choice. Each of the objects come in a variety of color options to help fit your aesthetic.
Week 1
Toss a round of sharp objects with the Bullseye Dartboard while embracing the evening in this Night Sky Layered Necklace. After a few rounds, grab a snack from the Guerdon Goods Mini Fridge. Earn a few Simoleons by tossing your trash in the matching Guerdon Goods NanoCan garbage bin, now in a less futuristic style.
Week 2
Let your tresses down with the Serenity Hairstyle and grab a seat at The Cool & Compact Bar. Whether you are practicing your mixology skills or serving up drinks for your friends, The Cool & Compact Bar offers a smaller footprint so you can save on space without compromising on quality.
Week 3
Give your Sims bed or sofa an extra oomph of cozy vibes with The Pure Pillow clutter item and offer them a comfy backdrop to take a rest after a day of skill gain with the Practice Makes Perfect trait. With this new trait, Sims can learn skills faster, even if they are a bit slower to start.
Week 4
Dress your sims down in laidback Athleisure Wear and pull up to the functional Guerdon Goods Vending Machine to round out their snack game.
Do you have questions, we've got answers here in the FAQ
Are these rewards really free?
Yes, these rewards are free when you engage with the Event. Once claimed the rewards for this Event will be available in the Base Game. Each Event may handle rewards a little differently. For instance, this first Event you get rewarded for jumping back into the game while the Event is active. In the future there may be Events that take you on a quest where you’ll complete goals in order to earn rewards.
What about SDX releases, I thought those were to provide free content and updates!
Sims Delivery Express drops aren’t going away, but we're always looking for new and novel ways to deliver gameplay, as well as objects and clothing to add to your Sims' lives. You can still expect SDX releases throughout the year as well as new Events to engage with The Sims 4 throughout the seasons.
What happens if I join the Event late?
There's plenty of time during the Event to jump in if you are coming in late. Each day you launch the game counts as a login to unlock the next available reward. If you come in late to the Event there's still time to catch up, but it will take 8 days of logins to unlock all of the rewards. We've provided an extra week to login and claim those remaining rewards.
The Sims 4 Happy at Home Login Event will be available beginning on May 30, 2024 on PC via EA app™, Mac® via Origin, Epic Games Store and Steam®, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems.
The Sims 4 Happy at Home Login Event requires The Sims 4 base game, available free to download with all game updates. See minimum system requirements for the pack.
