The Sims 4’s “Blast from the Past” event offered 16 named rewards across four quest weeks. The event ended on April 1, 2025, and EA’s deadline to claim earned rewards has passed. Here is the complete reward list by week, plus what EA said about claiming and the event’s future availability.
All Blast from the Past rewards by week

Can you still get the event rewards?
No through the event’s original system. EA’s Blast from the Past Event FAQ says the event remained available until April 1, 2025, and that earned but unclaimed rewards had to be claimed from the Event Screen by that date or they would be lost. That deadline has passed. EA’s published information does not establish whether the event will return or whether the rewards will be distributed another way.
EA said rewards successfully claimed during the event were saved to the player’s EA account. The FAQ said claimed items could appear in Build Mode, Create a Sim, or a Sim’s inventory; the Event Rewards filter was in the Special category in Build Mode and Create a Sim.

How the event worked
EA described four weeks of quests, with two new quests introduced each week, followed by two additional weeks for players to catch up. Players earned Event Points by completing objectives and bonuses. Points accumulated as players progressed; claiming a reward did not spend them. EA did not publish the point threshold for each reward in its FAQ.
- Go online and sign in to an EA account, then open Live Mode with an existing or new household.
- Wait for A Strange Visitor to appear and prompt an investigation. The first quests then opened with a pop-up.
- Complete quest objectives to earn Event Points.
- Claim rewards through the Event Screen in the Main Menu or Live Mode. Consumable rewards had to be claimed in Live Mode.
EA said the event was open to all players without requiring an expansion or other pack. Players who joined late could access quests from earlier weeks. EA’s February 4, 2025 announcement called the event free and limited-time and instructed players to enter Live Mode.
Rank #2
- Requires The Sims 4 & all game updates. For PC, see minimum system requirements for the pack.

Reward types and music detail
The list spans Build/Buy objects, Create-a-Sim clothing and accessories, music, an aspiration, and a consumable birthday cake. EA’s launch announcement described the event’s 2000s-inspired themes with examples including a milk carton, telephone, alarm clock, triple-tiered birthday cake, and inflatable chair and loveseat. It also said players could unlock Keke Palmer’s “The Game Song” for the Retro station during the event; the FAQ lists “New Retro Station Songs” among Week 3 rewards.
The event rewards are separate from the 25th-birthday merchandise collection also mentioned in EA’s anniversary coverage. That merchandise is not part of this in-game reward list and does not provide a way to claim the event items.
