All rewards in The Sims 4 Blast From The Past event

Like past Sims 4 events, you can earn weekly prizes in-game to commemorate the 25th anniversary. It will seemingly begin around the same time as the 25 Hour Livestream, where yoꦕu can earn these rewards:

  • Milk Carton
  • Alarm Clock
  • Wall Phone
  • Telephone
  • Birthday Cake
  • Chair
  • Loveseat

All items were previously seen in past Sims iterations, like the classic Alarm Clock from the original and the Milk Carton from various installments. Other rewards will be a part of the event, but we’ll need to wait for more concrete information.

If Blast from the Past plays out similarly to other events, you must complete specific objectives to claim these gifts. Plus, it may require you to find Milk Cartons, which will presumably spawn around the Sims 4’s worlds. Again, it’s not entirely clear what we will need to do for this event yet, but I’ll jump in when the time comes for more details.
