Electronic Arts (EA) and Maxis have announced an extension to The Sims 4’s limited time “Nature’s Calling” live event. The Sims 4’s event Originally running from June 24 to August 5, 2025, the event will now remain live through September 2, 2025, offering extra time for players to complete in‑game quests and collect rewards.

The Sims 4’s Event Overview

• Start / End Dates: Launched June 24, 2025 at 9am PST, initially scheduled to conclude August 5, 2025.

• Duration: Six weeks total, with two quests released each week during the first four weeks, followed by a two‑week catch‑up window.

• Rewards: Players can earn nature‑themed items such as the Reclaimed Woodworking Table, Odonata Glasses, Wooden Throne outhouse, Nature Soundscapes radio station, and more.

Extension & Rationale

• New Deadline: The event closing date is now September 2, 2025, granting nearly a month of additional access to rewards and quests.

• Why the delay?: EA cited persistent online connectivity issues for console players (PS4, PS5, Xbox) as the primary reason behind the extension.

• Resolution on the way: A patch aimed at fixing these connection problems is said to be “coming soon”. While no firm release date has been shared, it is expected to arrive before the extended deadline.

Player Experience & Recommendations

Optional Goals: Owners of expansion packs such as Cats & Dogs, Snowy Escape, or Horse Ranch can complete Optional Goals to earn bonus Event Points, though these are not necessary to unlock the core, non‑consumable rewards.

Best practice for console players: A temporary workaround on consoles involves relinking your EA account via Game Options Other. This can restore access to the Gallery and event screens until the official patch is released.

Additional Updates

A July 29, 2025 patch has already addressed bugs related to Enchanted by Nature, including reducing ailment frequency, fixing crafting and balance issues, and restoring werewolf nose customization features.

Developers confirmed ongoing efforts to resolve multiplayer connectivity and online access issues for console platforms.
