What. The.

So they put in FORCED DLC?! and for TWO months?!?! Wow that's psychotic... 2 months as well is a VERY hardcore way of convincing people that this is normal in the gaming industry and buying bullshit is what we should all be doing..

There must be ways around this if you don't rely on being online to use Steam or EA's servers... This is just horrible. I can imagine some smart people have created a way of getting around it but I worry it requires you to change your system clock or something silly like that. 

 It's not a DLC, just a series of tasks with some prizes or what. I couldn't care less. It's equivalent of popups in online phone games. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/1foj493/is_there_a_way_to_turn_off_the_grim_reaper_rewards/
