What ever happened to those? I feel like we haven't had one in SO long. I really miss them. Is there a reason we haven't had any for a while?

Man, that's an annoying. They should've just made it an opt-in thing instead
The complainers always get their way with the devs.
Aliens and alien abductions - nerfed
Vampire break-ins - nerfed
Challenges, Boost weeks, and Jasmine Holiday- nerfed
Those of us who really enjoy this game for what it is and simply play with little to no complaints are completely at the mercy of the rancorous minority who swamp the forum in order to make their displeasure known.
In a way, it was already an opt type of thing. Don't know what they were complaining about.

Personally I do not like them at all but if they tell us in advance I can go offline and avoid them. That is just how I dealt with it anyways. I have no problem with others having fun with them, go have fun if you like it because that is why we play. For me the opting in thing was also irritating, it was a constant reminder that something I dislike was in the background and I don’t want Jasmine walking around because she is not one of my sims. Skilling-up-holidays were horrible. I didn’t have triplis mod for locking skills back then and I play saves lasting a long time. If I didn’t want all my sims turning into super-sims I had to watch it. The best thing for me was just to step away from my favorite saves until it ended. Now I can mod it, thank Llama.
I remember trying them a few times to see if I liked them but it list was not for me. However, going offline solved it so it wasn’t a problem anymore.
It's really silly for people to complain over such a trivial thing though. I do miss the events where we had to collect stuff to unlock a reward. Like the easter eggs one! The last event we had was what, last year? The one with the Millie Bobby Brown sim where we unlocked those cute decorations.
I wish people would just stop complaining about everything all the time.
I'm aware of the plantsim download from the gallery but not much else on the other things.
What I did appreciate, though, was the fact that I never had to participate. So even though I'd know when I entered the game since it was announced right there, I'd forget about it next time, so it really wasn't a big deal to me. Only thing that would ever remind me, which was kind of irritating, was when Jasmine Holiday would come knocking at everyone's doors. Don't know if it's a bug or glitch or what, but now my game has several Jasmine Holidays that are basically hidden so I can't get rid of them.
If they stopped it because people were complaining, I don't see why, since it wasn't even in your face if you chose not to do anything with it, other than, again, her knocking at your door which you could ignore. But who knows?
TS4 is not a persistent world in any way shape or form, and if EA wants a MMO so bad they should just make one.
The positivity challenge was dreadful. Event-restricted buy mode content you can unlock in buydebug, but aspirations unlocked during a limited time frame is a terrible concept. And if that "Challenge" aspiration category is an indicator, they planned more of those.
Boost weeks I'm fine with.
Sorta agree and disagree. I liked the positivity challenge (an unpopular opinion, I'm sure), but agree they shouldn't have made it a limited thing to never be activated again. I appreciate that I can get to the posters, but I like being able to do everything I can in my game (get the most out for the money I paid). And, my sims tend to be multi-talented "super-sims" in my saves.
