How to Participate in The Sims 4 Reaper's Rewards Event?

To participate in the Reaper's Rewards event, gamers need to open The Sims 4 while they're connected to the internet and logged into their EA account. Those who are playing The Sims 4 offline won't be able to receive the event quests and complete them. Gamers will receive the Reaper's Rewards Quests when they open a Sims 4 save file in Live Mode.

According to the official blog post, the Grim Reaper will call fans and deliver the first set of quests. They can then access them by clicking on the Event Icon to access the Event Screen.
