โ// โ TOTES "RANTY" MOD DESCRIPTION:
This is an all-in-one archive containing every "FOMO Unlock" that I have released up to whenever you're reading this. I literally just bundle them all together. Each "FOMO Unlock" has an individual post on this Patreon that includes screenshots showcasing the Event Rewards.
Each "FOMO Unlock" is an individual mod that is named for a specific Live Event and unlocks all Event Rewards from the Live Event whether or not you completed the Live Event.
You can safely install this even if you've completed (or partially completed) a Live Event. I personally have every "FOMO Unlock" included in this all-in-one archive installed, all the time, despite having completed every Live Event (except "Deck the Palms").
All rewards can be found in their respective locations:
CAS items (including Aspirations and Traits) in CAS.
Object and Build items (including Lot Traits) in Build Mode.
Recipes on their corresponding objects, e.g. stoves, grills, workbenches, etc.
Radio Stations and individual songs are on radios in Live Mode and under "Game Options ยป Music".
Collectables like the "keys" from "Lost Legacies" can be found in Build Mode. You can complete your collections by buying them in Build Mode and placing them on a compatible surface, e.g. the floor or a table, then exiting Build Mode and directing your Sim to put the items in their inventory.
Et cetera, et cetera, etc.
This does not modify any of the Event Reward items in any way, and therefore does not flag any of them as modded. If you see a modded flag, it means you have an override mod for that item in your Mods folder (either my "CAS Overrides" or something else).
This does not unlock the Event Quests for immediate completion. Unlocking Event Quests for immediate completion is beyond the scope of this mod, and dare I say, might not be worth the effort.
One ZIP archive to unlock them all. One ZIP archive to give EA and EAxis the finger.
"EA believes games are for everyone" and "everyone" includes those of us who can't or don't want to adhere to EA's unnecessary "Limited-Time" BS.
Stop penalizing your "loyal fanbase", EA. You're a multi-billion dollar company. You don't need this for "engagement". Just make a good game, bruv. It ain't rocket science!

โ// โ MOD MAINTENANCE AND FUTURE SUPPORT:
This all-in-one release is updated twice for every Live Event:
A "NewEventUpdate" to add the new "FOMO Unlock" to the ZIP archive whenever the Event Content is added to the game. This can happen on or before the scheduled start date for the Live Event, e.g. "Blast From The Past" was added weeks in advance, but "Lost Legacies" was added on the scheduled start date.
A "ScorchedEarthUpdate" after the event ends.
I have been creating these "FOMO Unlocks" since "Happy At Home", because I was one of the many Simmers who lost my Event Rewards due to EAxis' "UserSetting.ini" incompetence.
EAxis' lack of support, lack of an adequate solution, lack of communication apart from "back up your INI file" and "the event is over", the subsequent THREE (3) MONTHS it took them to resolve the issue, and the "one time make good" obnoxious attitude they threw at us when they finally fixed it, was unacceptable.
And don't get me started on getting temporarily banned from Answers HQ for trying to help other Simmers by sharing the simple text-based "UserSetting.ini" fix, before making the first "FOMO Unlock". They preferred to have you scour the internet for "shady solutions" to the problems they created, than allow folks to share that information on their official forums.
Beyond that, I simply despise this kind of nonsense that penalizes your "loyal fanbase" for simply having a life and not being able to play when you want them to.
EAxis must never be allowed to get away with this nonsense without opposition.
As long as I'm alive and the internet works, I will be here, waiting in the shadows, with a metaphorical hatchet.
โ// โ HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS:
Event Content (Rewards, Quests, etc.) is added in official game updates - meaning once you're updated, you have them in your game whether or not you can access them.
Each Live Event includes a bunch of Tuning resources that contain a "little bit of code" that tells the game to "lock" the Event Rewards if the "entitlement flags" for those Event Rewards are "missing".
"Entitlement flags" are little bits of data added to your account data when you "claim" an Event Reward in the Event Panel that tells the game to unlock the specific Event Reward.
Makes sense? Great! Let's crack on!
These mods butcher that "little bit of code" in those Tuning resources, effectively telling the game that the Event Rewards are always "unlocked" with or without those "entitlement flags".
That "little bit of code" can be butchered in two ways.
I refer to one as "Live Event Compatibility":
This serves as the the "initial release" of every "FOMO Unlock".
All Event Rewards are "unlocked" and can be found in their respective locations.
This butchers only the bits of that "little bit of code" that identifies which items are "locked". Butchering any more would break the Event Panel.
This allows you to claim Event Rewards from the Event Panel after completing quests, in order to get your "entitlement flags", while still having access to all Event Rewards.
I do this because I know how to, and because despite loathing these FOMO events, I still complete them in the final week, usually on the last day, during the final few hours, because I want my "entitlement flags".
And the other as "Scorched Earth":
This is the update that I do after Live Events have ended.
All Event Rewards are "unlocked" and can be found in their respective locations.
This nukes all of that "little bit of code" from orbit, hence the snazzy name, "Scorched Earth".
I do this after the Live Event has ended in case EAxis goes mucking around and somehow manages to break everything. I could just be giving myself extra work, but I have seen EAxis mucking around with those Tuning resources long after Live Events have ended - sometimes because they screwed up and forgot to include all Swatches from an item.
If EAxis were to make these Live Event available again in the future, I would have to update the mods for "Live Event Compatibility" again.
Hopefully this makes more sense than the gibberish that was here before? ๐น
And yes, those filenames are indeed "curious".
Tis a sign of the times, as the saying goes.
You are more than welcome to rename them if you feel the need to, just remember that you renamed them the next time you download this release, so that you don't duplicate the mods unnecessarily.
โ// โ EVENT REWARDS ARE NOT TRULY ACCOUNT-BOUND:
The full investigation is linked in the "RELATED READING" section (above).
"Entitlement flags" for Event Rewards (excluding those from "Happy At Home") are pulled from EA's servers and populates the "accountDataDB.package" file.
If for any reason you lose your "accountDataDB.package" and you cannot reconnect to EA's servers, you will lose access to all Event Rewards even if you legitimately completed the Live Event. If EA ever mucks up those "entitlement flags" or their servers, you lose everything.
It's the "Happy At Home" fiasco with a different coat of paint.
"Happy At Home" is the only Live Event with rewards that come close to functioning the way "account-bound" should, but the half-baked method EAxis used to "unlock" the items results in the "New Content" gold badge reappearing on the Event Rewards constantly.
My "FOMO Unlocks" don't do that. I know what-
<SCOFFS>
I figure this !@#$ out on the fly, because I'm super fly. ๐๏ธ You know I'm super fly! ๐ฆธ๐พโโ๏ธ๐ชฐ๐น
I first heard that song in the animated movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)" [๐] [๐ฌ]. Skip the trailer and just watch the movie. Is good. Probably my favorite "TMNT" media to date.
โ// โ FOMO MEANS "FEAR OF MISSING OUT":
EAxis is manufacturing artificial FOMO with these Limited-Time Live Event Rewards that they refuse to unlock for all Simmers even after the Live Events end.
They have been trying to get us to this point for some time, where this type of nonsense is accepted by the larger community.
In 2023, they tried to do "EA Play" subscription-locked content for console Simmers only.
It backfired.
Now we're here.
โ// โ A NOTE ON PRE-ORDER BONUSES:
You have two options for Pre-Order Bonuses:
"Conversions" like those done by xSavannahx987.
<COUGH> โต๐๏ธโ ๏ธ๐ </COUGH>
Pre-Order Bonuses can't be unlocked like Live Event Rewards. I've checked.
I've seen some code in SGFX that might relate in some way, but I haven't poked around it yet.
Also, it's quite likely that even if the code I've seen is related, then it's overridden by similar code squirreled away in "The Elsweyr Place" (A.K.A. the EXE), and "Elsweyr Code" overrides everything.
I'll still poke around at some point, but I can make no promises.
If I had a "simple" solution like these "FOMO Unlocks", you'd already have it.

OMK! I'm moved. Thank you very much! (I hope I can find the laser show lamp (Electronics), in this way. I haven't it)
Thank you so much as someone who hasn't played in over a year I didn't even know most of the these events even happened ๐ฅน Super unfair stuff gets time locked
The file names are hilarious
Also thank you!
Iโm gonna kiss you (respectfully), this is amazing
๐น
thank you for doing this! i didn't even know what I was missing!
hi! i just downloaded this recently. i don't know if it's me or what, but i don't see rewards from some events. particularly deck the palms is one i can identify immediately. also not sure where i should look for the collectible items? i typed in keys for the antique keys and found nothing? let me know i'm im missing something!
Hi, did you ever find what you were missing from Palm Decks?
I just wanted to thank you for this. It's very much appreciated, and I find it ridiculous that there's no in game way to get the missed event rewards.. not everyone can play every single day. So thank you. <3
so if i ever delete this mod, will i lose access to the event rewards? or does this somehow update the accountDataDB.package file permanently?
It does not, I'm afraid. You will need these overrides in your Mods folder permanently. There's a way to manually modify accountDataDB.package and add the necessary strings of data, but I haven't looked into it yet.
A lifesaver! I've managed every event but the Lady B one, and the trait was the only thing I wanted out of that one anyway (the "historical" outfits are HIDEOUS and innaccurate) but I MISSED IT.
Hi what happens if I delete one of those files from my mods folder? Should I still get access to for example the traits I've unlocked? I ask this, cause I logged in consistently but today the event of the Bridgerton is missing and the last two items: the trait and a decorative letter aren't in my account as rewards.
You'll have access to everything you unlocked and everything you didn't unlock. The override simply removes the TUNING code that locks the items. It doesn't directly modify the items in any way.
Thank you so much for these. I skipped most of the events, it's way too stressful for me as a fully burned out person with all the pop-ups and remembering to go online, or restart my game since I often leave it running for days (or 1-2 weeks) and only update a few times a year. Would it be possible to unlock those free marketplace drops too? Of course I was one day too late because I was sick and missed the only item I was interested in..
I'll look into the marketplace stuff as soon as I have time. I'm sure someone has figured it out by now though (if it's possible).
The file names took me out. Thank you so much for this!! The Bridgerton event is the only one I've managed to miss and of course those are the items I'm most excited about.
You are a game saver. I am very much a completionist player and the possibility of not being able to complete the collection in Bridgerton login event was infuriating me, then I remembered your mod. You are the reason PC/MAC players don't miss out on login rewards.
Do I have to keep this mod forever to have the missing items in my game? Or I just install it, it unlocks them in my game an I can delete it?
Hey uhmm..It's not working for me..
Thank you for this mod. When the Lady Bridgerton Ball event came out, I completed it all the way through and got everything. However, I uninstalled the game due to lack of space, and now that I've downloaded it again, it erased EVERYTHING, even my previous event files :c Your mod has been a lifesaver.
Probably a stupid question but for the future I'll have to keep the mod activated to keep my access to the event stuff right?
I have downloaded all these and the heart on your sleeve trait isn't visible for me?
The Blast From the Past file let me access an events reward room which had previously been useless. Thanks for that.
nice, thank u for updating
You're welcome! ๐ธ
Thank you so much for this! โค๏ธ
You're welcome! ๐ธ
Actually I could see updating Google Drive or SFS to be a great way to archive older releases of things, buuuut I don't know how that'd play out with storage restrictions per fees... I don't have an SFS account to know their limitations and I'm legit clearing my Google Drive right now cos it loves to back up things to it even when I block that to try and push me to upgrade. X'D Is this like, a legit reasonable cloud usage? Wow. I was pretty staunchly against cloud the whole dang time but... hm. Version backups sound smerts.
Most of it is already available on GDrive. It's just the last... I dunno, 6~10 updates that aren't there? I stopped doing version backup on SFS because moving files around on SFS is a hassle. GDrive is drag and drop and I have shortcuts in all my GDrive folders to their respective "Graveyard" folders (where all the old releases go). I was considering adding an additional YYMMDD identifier to my archive name for the game update the release falls under, to make it easier so folks don't have to go look up what was the closest update to the release, since sometimes I update mods between game updates. Archive names would change from: sej_FOMO_AiO_[YYMMDD]_[RELINFO].zip to sej_FOMO_AiO_U[YYMMDD]_R[YYMMDD]_[RELINFO].zip eg. sej_FOMO_AiO_U260521_R260526_NewEventUpdate.zip I dunno, I'll give it some more thought. Despite how messy everything is right now, the goal is to make it as accessible for everyone as possible - for folks who speak Engrish and those who don't, or only partially. I'll figure it out eventually.
Hii please update your mod with new event please
Hi sejian, could you please update the fomo event rewards unlocker mod for the new kits?
Czy bฤdzieu Ciebie najnowsze wydarzenie bal maskowy bridenton, ktรณry twa do 7 llipca, apropo Kocham Ciฤ !
is this mod still working?

Zoe, wherever you are, you and I know where you will go.
Will there be an update for the May 10th update?
Hello, I just noticed that all the FOMO mods are down. Do we need to wait for a patch due to the latest updates?
Get your ass onto the newest event you worthless cow
May i say fuck you to your lousy work?
Do you plan to update the mod with the Lady Bridgerton Ball event unlocks? Btw, love what you do, keep it up!
Yes!!!!!
give them some time!
๐ฅบ please update your mod i don't have pc i am on PlayStation i trying keeping my money for new laptop gaming
Obrigada!!!! Salvou meu jogo.
Hello my friend can please add new log in event
tysm <3 i haven't missed an event yet but was MIA for the last event and was having some serious FOMO!!
Thank you!
Hello, thank you very much for the MODS! Unfortunately, my game is still not getting the mods, it just doesn't load to save. Could you help me? Is there a way to teach me what modifications I should make to the "accountDataDB.package" so that it "provides the key"? Thank you in advance.
Thank you! I hate when companies use FOMO bs to create "engagement." It's so lazy.
You're welcome, and yes it is! And while they gleefully boast about player metrics, the game has been in a "bug"-riddled state for years!
I missed the SpongeBob pre-order bonus. Is it possible to unlock those three items with this mod?
Hi! Unfortunately no. See the section in this post titled "A NOTE ON PRE-ORDER BONUSES". If xSavannahx987 didn't "BGC conversion" it, then I can look into doing it.
Thank you so much! I missed the Deck the Palms event and it was driving me crazy as all the others I've done.
You're welcome! ๐ธ I know the feeling. I missed unlocking the last two rewards from Deck the Palms due to the login quota bullshit EAxis pulled with that event (but failed to spell out in-game), and it irritates me every time I think about it.
Hi, just to let you know, the link to 7-Zip in the description is broken. Only some of the text is linked so it takes you to some sketchy site instead
QUE?! ๐๐พ Thank you very much for alerting me. It might have broke wh- That has to be Patreon's doing! It removed the "7-" from the link! I hope they're not all broken..... ๐น I'll check them. Can't be linking people to whatever the !@#$ "zip.org" is! This is a sign from the machine god that I should have one post that explains installing mods and then linking to that one post. ๐น
You're a legend, thank you so so much! Works like a charm, I'm impressed. You're also making a good point in the description - if EA wants to permanently exclude me from accessing certain content because I had to stay at the hospital during the last two events, they are being the opposite of inclusive and I have all right to be angry. Anyways, I'm so glad I got sent here and can now stop being bummed out about the stuff I missed :)
You're welcome, and I'm glad to indirectly hear you're out of the hospital! ๐ธ
I was sick during the Deck The Palms event so I was unable to complete it. Thank you so much for this mod!
You're very welcome, and I'm glad to infer that you're better now! ๐ธ
gosh, youre such a pillar of the modding community. seriously thank you for your work
D'aww, thank you, and you're welcome! ๐ธ I could be mistaken, but I think that's the first time I've been referred to as such. Totes not feeding my ego. ๐น
Hi Sejian, thank you so much for this and all your other frustration-removing mods! I have a question - I had event rewards from all previous events, and I made a new account. Of course now I don't have the rewards. I tried to replace accountdatadb and usersettings with the ones I backed up when I was logged in the old account. But that didn't work. Do you think is there any way to get these rewards if they were unlocked on the same pc, just different account? If not then thankfully your mod exists, just annoying I can't transfer them.
You're very welcome! ๐ธ -- "Do you think is there any way to get these rewards if they were unlocked on the same pc, just different account?" Unfortunately no, the "entitlement data" we get after claiming the Rewards from the Event Panel are account-specific, so non-transferable. -- "I tried to replace accountdatadb [...]" accountDataDB.package contains information that identifies the account, so you can't just replace the file - you have to mod it. Hold onto your old accountDataDB.package. I will look into what information you need to export and import in order for it to unlock the Rewards. Keep in mind though that modding the accountDataDB.package is effectively the same as modding the Tuning resources in these FOMO Unlock mods. The difference is that modding accountDataDB.package "provides the key" and modding the Tuning resources "removes the lock", but neither of them add the "entitlement data" to your account data. -- "I tried to replace [...] usersettings [...]" UserSettings.ini is no longer used for Event Reward entitlements. EAxis removed the entitlements for "Happy At Home" that were initially stored in UserSettings.ini and then did some shenanigans to unlock those Rewards for everyone. UserSettings.ini does other things, but nothing concerning Event Rewards anymore.
Hi! Thank you so much for this mod! Quick question. I installed the mod, and I'm seeing items from all events except Lost Legacies. Could you please tell me what might be causing this? Sorry for my bad English
Huh... Give me a few minutes to update and I'll tell you if anything broke with today's update.
Unfortunately, I missed many of these events, and of course it would be great if we could repeat the entire quest chain, but... I still wanted to thank you for making it possible to offer all of this to us, thank you so much!
You're very welcome! ๐ธ When I have time I will look into the quests, however, I believe some part of this involves telemetry data from EAxis' servers, so it may not be possible to make these Live Event Quests repeatable in a way that actually unlocks the items for us.
Thank you for making this! Quick question though, does removing this mod lock the items again?
You're welcome! "Quick question though, [...]" It does. Removing it will reinstate the code that's locking the items. It won't remove the items from your Sims or Lots, but you will lose access to them in CAS and Build Mode, etc.
Dumb question, but how this unlock is working in game? Played but no unlocking- have to do the quest?
No quests necessary. Just look for the items where they should be - in CAS, Build Mode, etc.
Thank you as always for updating this mod!! You are a lifesaver ๐๐
You're welcome! ๐ธ
Thank you for doing and updating this. It may sound stupid, but I was actually a little upset about missing some of the rewards from Blast From The Past. I'm happy to have them now, and also to support another simmer who is calling out EA nonsense. I appreciate you!
You're welcome, and thank you! ๐
Ah, thankyou so much for doing this. I really do appreciate it. Like, a few others have said, it really is ridiculous that Electronic Arts puts these behind timed events. ยฌ_ยฌ
You're welcome! ๐ธ
Thank you so much! I wish you good health <3
You're welcome and same to you! ๐ธ
Just found this mod and OMG thank you, I absolutely hate these event things cos I really like some of the items but I literally juist build in this game and do not feel like even checking what the quests are. THANK YOU.
You're welcome! ๐ธ
I've been playing the sims for more than 20 years and HATE this so so much. Like, I play what I wanna play when I want to play. I don't like Events stuck on my screen the whole time either and having to update soon after a patch ( this one is broken as heck again) to participate. Leave me alone EA! I gave you all my money already, enough.
I share your frustrations! ๐ซ -- "I don't like Events stuck on my screen the whole time either [...]" I have an SGFX (UI) Override that removes the Event Panel Button from the top left of the Live Mode UI if you're interested. It's not compatible with UI Cheats Extension, but I also have a patch for UI Cheats Extension. ๐ธ
I just wanna say how much i appreciate what you do. Sadly I cant show it monetarily but I aswell as many others appreciate how much work you do
You're welcome all the same! I'm currently unlocking "Lost Legacies" so be sure to check back soon.
Thank you so much. EA owes so much to their players and especially modders for keeping Sims 4 alive. It's ridiculous they lock this stuff behind timed events!
You're welcome and it is indeed! Check back in a bit for the "Lost Legacies" update.
Can you please make new event mod
The event doesn't start until Feb. 3rd. They likely aren't able to access the files until then.
You're an angel ๐. Thanks
D'aww, thank you, and you're welcome! ๐ธ
I cannot thank you enough for the work that you do FOR FREE! I hate-hate-hate the way pretty much every frickin' company tries to create FOMO. Like I don't have enough of that in my own personal and professional and whatnot life!
You're welcome! ๐ธ It is super enraging that "pretty much every frickin' company tries to create FOMO". It's also super enraging that #Gamersโข are being groomed into accepting and defending it. EA and EAxis have no need to ever do FOMO like this, and there's no valid excuse to maintain it after the events have ended. Keep it locked during the event and for a few weeks after, then give it to everyone. That generates more goodwill because it shows your "loyal fanbase" that you care about each and every one of them. Instead, they're manufacturing artificial FOMO for the sake of manufacturing artificial FOMO.
Thank you so much! I had an issue with mods that prevented me playing during the latest event unless I sat down for a few hours to investigate and find how to fix it, so I didn't complete even this super basic takes-almost-no-time event. And I can even get items from before I started playing! This is wonderful, you are a treasure.
You're welcome! ๐ธ "I had an issue with mods that prevented me playing [...]" is one of the many reasons I do this. Even I didn't fully complete Decks and Palms because I didn't realize we had to login a specific numberof days and I missed ONE day, failing to unlock the best sticker ever - the little dinosaur. Pfft! EA and EAxis can [REDACTED].
Im sorry if this has been answered but if i only need the Deck the palms rewards, can I just delete the other ones? tysm for this amazing mod!
Yes, indeed! I'll include links to the individual unlocker mods, because I actually release these things individually then just ZIP them altogether for this all-in-one release.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know you are so appreciated for the work you do to unlock these.
Hi! You're very welcome! ๐บ
hi. what happens to the objects if I take out these mods? And does all of your unlock kind mods unlock objects + cas item as well?
Unless you have officially claimed them within the event, they will be removed from your cas/buildmode if you take the mod out.
Thx for the mod! Any chance of getting it on CurseForge?
I had contacted CF Support back when I did the first one. They told me it wouldn't be permitted because - I'm paraphrasing from memory - it unlocks items that the dev. has intentionally locked and therefore cannot be permitted on CF. I have the email somewhere...
Hi, I cant seem to find any items unlocked in cas or build mode etc even though I have installed the .package files directly into the mods folder. I havent had trouble installing other mods before so I'm not sure what is going on :(
I took out all my other mods and its working now! so must be some interaction with something else
guys i think i might have figured it out but it still might not work. some of you are clicking the "extract all". what you need is to hover over 7-zip and then click "extract files"
It's working, but they are just looking at the event progress. The items are already in the game but in the event progress shows locked
In case you're wondering whether the mod works or not, yes, it is working. Don't look at the event progress, go straight to CAS and build mode, filter the category to show only event items, and they will be there.
Methinks I will add this to the main post. I get the feeling that some folks are confused that this makes the rewards claim-able on the event pop-up, which it doesn't. It unlocks the items "behind-the-scenes". "Live Event Compatibility" fine-tuning makes the mod compatible with Live Events, meaning Simmers can still fulfill whatever requirements EAxis demands in order to "claim" the rewards from the event pop-up and get the "reward entitlements" added to their accountDataDB.package while the mod is installed and unlocking all rewards in their respective locations - CAS, Build Mode, objects for recipes and radio stations, etc.
I put the package file into my mod folder but no change seems to have happened is the mod still working correctly or is there more that needs to be done when installing
No, no other steps. You'll find all rewards in their respective locations - CAS, Build Mode, objects for recipes and radio stations, etc. The unlock mods do not make the rewards claim-able through the event pop-up, it unlocks them "behind-the-scenes". Let me know if that was the confusion and if it works for you.
Also having issues with the .package file not working after I've installed it correctly.
Hi! "You'll find all rewards in their respective locations - CAS, Build Mode, objects for recipes and radio stations, etc. The unlock mods do not make the rewards claim-able through the event pop-up, it unlocks them "behind-the-scenes". Let me know if that was the confusion and if it works for you."
Hi, does this file allow our game to recognize these items in a sim creator build or save file that uses the ea version time-bound items?
Hi, yes it does? I think yes is the correct answer. ๐น
heyy Sejian just wondering if the mod still works because i tried using it and it didnt work so just wondering if it still works lovely:3
It does, and I "Scorched Earth" updated it today. The rewards are available in CAS and Build Mode, but the event progress pop-up will still show them as locked. Let me know if you're still encountering issues.
Thanks so much for this! Is there any chance you would be willing to provide your accountDataDB.package (with ID/account info removed) so we can patch our own package through S4S? That's the way I've been fixing my friends' in the past. Thanks in advance!
how do i do that? and how does it work?
game won't open after install your mod. crashes.
That can happen if the package file becomes corrupted. Try re-downloading it and let me know if you're still experiencing issues. . . A BIT MORE TECHNICAL: When creating these mods, if I don't do it "a certain way", the Tuning resources can bug out and result in crashes - it's some weirdness with these specific Tuning resources that I've never experienced when creating any other Tuning mod. However, I never release one of these unless it's functioning properly, and every one of them is always in my Mods folder. So if you're experiencing crashes on your end from these mods, then it could either be that it didn't extract properly from the ZIP and you need to "re-install" or re-download it, OR that your USER FOLDER or MODS FOLDER is being wonky. If it's the latter, then you can try the following: 1. MOVE your MODS FOLDER. 2. DELETE your localthumbcache.package file. 3. Launch the game so it creates a new MODS FOLDER, then exit the game. 4. Put the package files from this mod into your MODS FOLDER. 5. Launch the game and tell me if it's still crashing. It shouldn't. Alternatively, some Simmers have reported having to place the package files in the root of their MODS FOLDER, because for some inane reason, their game refuses to load it when it's in a sub-folder. I've never experienced that myself. Let me know what happens.
Love this mod, but I just realized I'm not able to find any of the recipes from the events! Things like the Krabby Patty (which says it's claimed) and Campfire Spudz aren't showing up for me.๐ข
I completed the event fully when it was out. And Ive never been able to find the recipes. Forager stew from natures event to.
I've installed it in my mods folder (extracted; I'm competent with mod installation) but I haven't seem to unlocked anything new from Deck the Palms, it still says I have to wait 2 days for the next item (which I think is like, the mittens) and I'm still way behind.
Same Here! i even took out all my mods but this one.
Wow, this is amazing! You are a lifesaver! and Is it correct that everything other than DECK THE PALMS name files are items from previous limited-time events? Does the game categorize these items as CC (Custom Content), or are they treated as official base game assets?" Is there a risk of these items causing script errors or technical glitches after future game updates?
Hi! No script errors or technical glitches, and no CC flags unless you download or create an override of the specific items. These are simple Tuning overrides that removes the code that tells the game that the items are locked. It doesn't modify the items in any way. Also yes, everything other than "sej_FOMO_BG_EV007_DeckThePalms_*" are for the previous events. I create the unlocks individually, then ZIP them all together for this "all-in-one" release. P.S. I do "CAS Overrides/CASO" mods separately, in order to fix EAxis' improper PARTFLAGS and TAGS. If you downloaded that, then you will see CC flags, but it's a separate project and not included here. This is only the unlock.
Hi! Sorry this might sound silly but does this MOD automatically update for each event or do I have to keep downloading it when a new event happens? I'v just looked in my FOMO folder and see I'm missing some of new ones (DeckThePalms and ForeverFriends). I'm a total noob with mods!
Hi! Not a silly question. It doesn't auto-update, you have to manually re-download it every time there's a new event. Pop it in the same place and let it overwrite the older files or delete the older ones then pop in the new ones. Usually there are two updates for every new Event, one to unlock the new rewards when the Event data becomes available (which is often times before the Event goes live), and one after the Event ends to remove unnecessary "Live Event Compatibility" fine-tuning.
ยฟDoes this unlock missions directly or does it give you the rewards directly?
Hi! It gives all of the rewards directly. I haven't bothered to look into the quests yet. Also, Deck The Palms has no quests. It appears to be strictly a "Login Event".
The only mod I never play without! Thank you so much, really appreciate your work!
You're welcome! ๐๐ธ
this mod is my favourite thing in the world, I hope you always have warm socks and find 5$ in every jacket you put onโค๏ธ
I think I need to get more jackets! ๐น๐
๐ hello i want ask do you make new unlock event mod like mods before events
Hi! If EAxis adds the content to the game beforehand, then I can unlock it beforehand, like the new Deck The Palms event. The unlock was added to the AIO* in today's update (a few minutes ago).
Honestly I have mad RESPECT for what you do and thank you for doing this for the community!! ๐ฅน
๐
Hello, I'm new to this mod, so I wonder, whenever an update happens to the game, will the mod break along with the rewards, or only the mod will break, but the objects will remain
Hi! So far this mod (this release is the individual packages for each Event bundles together) has never actually broken with an update. I simply refresh/rebuild the packages every-so-often in case anything changes with the way Sims4Studio creates packages behind-the-scenes. If for any reason the mod breaks though, objects placed on lots and CAS items in Sims' outfits will remain where you've put them. What will happen is that you won't see those items available in CAS or Build Mode anymore until the mod is fixed. Does that make sense?
Thank you so much for doing this mod! I was in the hospital almost all of October and ended up missing the end of the event.
You're welcome, and I hope you're recovering well! ๐ธ
I need this in my life, and I have add and the same things bother me in the game like you, I mean those annoying rays in CAS, the red light in social bunny. And I've also concentration problems when watching movies and while working. It's really frustrating how the time flies so quickly and we wanna do so many things in our lives and we can't. I appreciate your mod, thank you and happy halloween! ๐
Hi! You're very welcome and I hope you enjoyed your Halloween! ๐

Hi, does the mod contain unlocking everything or can you pick and choose what to unlock?
Included in the ZIP are (6) individual mods - (1) for each Live Event that unlocks everything from that Live Event. It would be... near impossible to give you a mod like this (an "unlock" instead of item clones) that enables you to pick and choose which item you want unlocked, because there isn't one "lock" for each item (in context). Often times, one "lock" contains locking code for multiple items. However (and I should reiterate this in the post), these mods will not negatively impact your previously unlocked items. They are safe to use. In fact, there's a glitch in the way EAxis unlocks the rewards, and "unlocker" mods like mine don't suffer from it. The glitch is the "New Content" badge that reappears on the CAS items in CAS.
Wow, I really love this mod! I have a question: does it include those exclusive pre-order items from packs? If not, do you have any mods for those items?
"[...] does it include those exclusive pre-order items from packs?" It does not. I still haven't found a way to unlock those with an override like this. Your best bet will be clones from a creator like xSavannahx987. I'll link their "Conversions" post in the download section. I keep forgetting to! Pfft! I might do conversions for myself in the future, but... xSavannahx987 already exists, so [BLOWS RASPBERRY]. ๐น
o7 I salute you and all that you do.

Hello!!!!!! First of all, thank you so much for making this!!!!!!! I wanted to ask you, I managed to complete all of these events, except for the Christmas one. Can I just use that file in the mods folder? Do I have to download it again every time the game is updated?
Bah! I responded to this but it looks like the trash internet ate it. โ "Can I just use that file in the mods folder?" Yes, though having them all will not negatively affect the game or the rewards. โ "Do I have to download it again every time the game is updated?" No, unless it stops working because EAxis changed something. My "FOMO Unlocks" have never needed compatibility updates - only the "Scorched Earth" update to remove the "Live Event Compatibility" fine-tuning after the specific event ends. All older "FOMO Unlocks" are already "Scorched Earth". โ In other words, use the one you need and if you ever experience issues in the future, come back and check the mod for an update - or notify me about the issue if there hasn't been a "critical update" and I'll check it and update it if necessary.
i lost all reward items after trying to repair my game apparently deleting some wrong files earlier today and i was so frustrated. but i just came across your mod and i am so happy!! thank you so much!! ๐ฅฐ
You're welcome! ๐ธ Your lost rewards SHOULD reappear if you launch the game while both EA App and The Sims 4 are in "Online Mode". Your reward entitlements SHOULD sync from the server to your "accountDataDB.package" file. If all else fails, then just use the "FOMO Unlocks". I keep them in my Mods folder always, despite having completed every Live Event, because I "reset/nuke" my TS4 USER FOLDER often and the internet I'm on is unreliable. Wilford Warfstash ain't got no time for EAxis' nonsense with these Live Event rewards. ๐น
doing the lord's work as ever!!
Cheers! ๐ธ
Thank you so much for your work! I despise those practices that EA introduces into the game. Instant drops were nice, everyone were treated equally. Now itโs just disgrace. Shame on them. Praise for you!
You're welcome! ๐ธ And yes, shame on them!
Thank you so much for this! I completed every event, but recently lose access to the email associated with my EA account and in turn lost everything... I have a new EA account now, but all the items from previous events are gone. ๐ฟ I'm probably going to sound terribly dumb right now, and I hope you don't mind ๐, but if I delete this mod, will I still have the rewards in-game, or do I need the mod in my game forever to have the event rewards? Thank you so, so much! I will now proceed to ramble like nobody's business, but I just recently discovered you and I am so completely obsessed! I love your style, how accepting you are of everyone (no matter what level of tiredness they're on), and I love the rambling, being as I am super prone myself! And I agree, this FOMO is a little out of hand... Half the time the event doesn't work for me, even without mods! And we've had to play the events online now... I've had to replay the events every time I opened the game, because all progress I made was gone. Anyway, I'm done with the semi (?) off topic rambling, but thank you so much for your mods and introducing me to the awesomeness of cat emojis! ๐บ๐ป
"[...] but if I delete this mod, will I still have the rewards in-game," Yes and no. If you placed them on a lot or wear them on a Sim they'll still be there, but you won't have access to them in the CAS catalog or the Build catalog, which means... "[...] or do I need the mod in my game forever to have the event rewards?" Yes, you need to keep the mod in your game forever and ever if you always want to has access to the rewards in their respective catalogs. It's a basic Tuning override. There's nothing weird going on here, except for my very critical mod-naming that's meant to remind folks that this type of FOMO is BS. โ "I've had to replay the events every time I opened the game, because all progress I made was gone." Y'know... this is one of those things I've never encountered in my game? With earlier FOMO events, I was told that if I deleted the "accountDataDB.package" and resumed my game, the event would reset and I'd be able to redo the quests, but that has never, ever, been my experience. My quests just continue from wherever I left off. The closest I've gotten to being able to redo anything is if I don't complete all of the objectives for a quest entry, they'll all be present again after I nuke my TS4 USER FOLDER. And I "reset/nuke/delete" my TS4 USER FOLDER (Documents/EA*/The Sims 4) folder every time the game updates. Never once has my event reset. โ Actually, I would like to test something with the "accountDataDB.package"... I have completed every event despite continuing to create these "FOMO Unlocks", and I would like to share my "accountDataDB.package" with someone who hasn't, to see if it will unlock anything for them (permanently) without the need for my "FOMO Unlocks". If you're up for it, I'll attach it to a public post, like my LABRATS post.
Thank you for this! If not you, i would miss all of those items.
I'm certainly not the only creator doing this anymore (and I did meet one person who did an HAH unlock before me), but you're very welcome! ๐ธ
This is fantastic thank you. I missed a few of these events as I wasnโt playing at the time. I went and bought the rest of the packs I was missing recently, but I didnโt get the pre order bonuses, do you know if thereโs a way of getting those items now?
You're very welcome! ๐ธ As for the pre-order bonuses, I'm afraid I still can't unlock those the way I unlock the Live Event Rewards, but there are other ways to do it. I've just done a post for this since you're not the first Simmer to ask (and you won't be the last) that you can check out -- https://www.patreon.com/posts/136248686
thank you so much, f*ck those capitalist *ssholes at ea
You're very welcome! ๐ธ
The saddest part about the FOMO unlocks, is you have to play Online to play them now. With the Christmas Event, you didn't have to update your game or play Online. I was able to play the entire event, and claim all the rewards, without being online and without updating my game to the newest version. The rewards didn't get added to your game until you updated it, but you could still play the Event and claim them for later. Somewhere between there and the Future pack, EA patched it so you could no longer play the Events Offline. Sadly, with all the bugs we've been gifted lately, that meant I missed out with the nature event, because I refuse to update my game currently with all the unforgeable bugs they've recently introduced. Soo this post with the rewards is a nice treat. Thank you for sharing with us(:
You're welcome! ๐ธ I hadn't realized they went ham on the events. As for the bugs, if I wasn't modding, I'd have gone back to the update before they broke Outfit Generation in Update 10/22/2024 or the update before they broke CAS in Update 2/25/2025 (since I can BAND-AID 10/22), and just stopped bothering with any new content. It's bloody ridiculous, and I wish more simmers were willing to say enough is enough, fix the game or no more LOADSAMONEY.
Thank you so much ๐
You're welcome! ๐ธ
Thanks for these! Would you consider a mod that removes the Event Popup, too? It is constantly interfering with other events :(
You're welcome! When you say the "Event Popup", what do you mean exactly? Do you mean the "Event Quest Button"? See here for what I've done to the Live Event UI elements in Live Mode. The only thing I haven't removed is the "Event Quest Button", but I can remove it. EDIT: I FORGOT TO COPYPASTE THE LINK! ๐น
Will it also update for the new unlock event?
Yes indeed! I missed yesterday's update due to the internet. I'm updating now, so I'll update the mod SOONโข!
How do I get the download
I haven't attached this one to the post yet but you can grab it from the provided Sim File Share or Google Drive sources. To be honest, I kinda like watching the download statistic go brrr and that's the only reason I haven't attached it to the post.
