Hi there! As you might know I have created a Play It All challenge which can also be found at the official Sims 4 Challenge List. Why play this challenge? When you got all packs it can be difficult to create a new story line, especially since there is so much to do within Sims! With this challenge I encourage you to explore the packs further and take the most out of it.You can find the challenge and it's rules here: Google Docs, This document will also be always the most up to date. :D Therefor, I have decided to share my versions on this forum page together with rules. The most recent version will be in the first comment, after that I will keep up the two most recent versions as a legacy after that. Happy Simming you wonderful people <3

RULES1. The packs that are marked per generation are the only ones that are allowed to be used when it comes to furniture and CAS together with Basic Game items.2. No cheats to get money or any form of advantage allowed, but you are allowed to use mods. Just keep in mind the mods should not make your generation aspiration easier.3. You need to complete both the career and generation aspirations before moving on to the next generation. The next generation may start from teen, young adult or adult depending on when you finish the goals.4. Turn lifespan to normal.5. You can adopt kids and they can be the heir unless there are biological children.6. You don’t need to marry or live with a S/O unless stated otherwise.7. The lot you choose to live on, is the lot you stay on during the generation. Example: if you split up with your partner, the partner moves out. 8. In case of a breakup, the ex-partner will take 50% (funds AND furniture) OR all remaining Simoleons.9. You earn money by work mainly, but you can do a "side task" to get some extra income. E.g. sell items you find around town or something related to your main career: nothing too heavy such as master painting skills and selling masterpieces while you should be living off a salary as a veterinarian.10. For passing money to another generation: divide the household funds within the next generation, but with a minimum of 10.000 simoleons for the next heir and a minimum of 2.000 for the current generation. Example 1: you're about to move to the next heir. The next heir has no siblings and you have 30.000 in the bank. You take 28.000 simoleons when you move out. Example 2: The next heir has 2 siblings and you have 32.000 in the bank. You take 10.000 when you move out. Example 3: You have 5.000 simoleons in the bank. The next heir moves out with just 3.000 simoleons, but you can take some of the furniture with you or sell them for money. Or just decide to hang a little longer in the current generation to save up some more money before you move out.ALLOWED IN EACH GENERATIONExpansion PacksGTW: Become/marry/befriend an Alien.GT: Be in a club (not create one).

Create your own little perfect community. Maybe there will be a (financial) fiasco every now and then, but just keep your head up (or upside down during your yoga routine). It will all be fine.This generation is about starting a community based on big dreams and little starter money. Just remember to start small and dream big. Eventually you will have an amazing little community including all the add-ons you can dream off!PacksEP: For RentGP: Spa DaySP: Laundry, Perfect PatioKits: Modern Luxe, Simtimates Collection Traits: Nosy, Romantic, Loves Outdoors Aspiration: Mansion BaronCareer: Landlord & Manual LaborerLocation: Tomarang Rules Become a landlord in your own Residential Rental lot. Make sure that there are 5 additional rooms/houses/trailers/etc are available to rent (make one “bad” place that has some hidden mold…) Someone as Zen as you doesn’t really care about looks. As long as the outfit is nice and comfy. Just pamper yourself with face masks and good manicures. You take more care about the fish in your aquarium than the latest fashion. Create an outdoor hanging spot in the patio to host neighborly get-togethers, including a pool and places for children to play. And for indoors: have a shared laundry room for all your tenants to use. Make sure at least 4 rental places are a bit more fancy, a little extra doesn’t hurt anyone. Get your handiness on: make sure you maximize your handiness skills.Gen. 2: “#TeamJacob”You move to this small town called Moonwood Hill by yourself to start over again on your own little farming ground. Here you become acquainted by the locals. While intrigued by their native appearance, you kept your distance. But accidents happen in small corners.. This generation is about farming and werewolf fun. Becoming part of a close knit community and hosting social events make you look like a good next door sim, but perhaps you’re just trying to cover up your renegade actions.. PacksEP: Cottage LivingGP: WerewolvesSP: Toddler, BackyardKits: Poolside Splash, Greenhouse Haven Traits: Loves outdoors, Family Oriented, Animal EnthusiastAspiration: Wildfang RenegadeCareer: FarmerLocation: Moonwood Mill Rules Live with the lot type: "Simple Living". Build your own farm, grow your own crops and have some chickens and other livestock and befriend at least one wild bird and one wild rabbit. For this generation you may include mini goats and sheeps, but no horses. Participate in at least 4 Finchwick Fairs. It’s just a phase: Become a werewolf when you’re a young adult, but once you grow into adulthood, you must drink the cure. You should not get bitten, but turn into one by contracting werebies. As a fun “pack” bonus: You’re allowed to have a dog once you turn into a werewolf. Host at least 4 playdates when your kid(s) turn into toddlers. These playdates should include some water fun in the backyard: (toddler) pools, slides, water fights included! Include an indoor water activity (example: have an indoor pool) and a Greenhouse to keep farming available through all kinds of weather. Maximize Gourmet Cooking.Gen. 3: “MTV Cribs”From a simple farmer's life, to living among the stars with the goal of becoming the biggest star! You want to give the world a glimpse into your lavish home, your amazing lifestyle and your daily rituals of being an actor married to another actor. But when “lights, camera, action” is over, you seem to be the villain of your own movie with your double life.This generation is about working hard and climbing to the top of the Actors career. Everything seems to be perfect in your life. But secretly you live a double life. As long as it all looks good on camera and no one will figure out its fake, right?PacksEP: Get FamousGP: My Wedding StoriesSP: Cool Kitchen, Movie HangoutKits: Book Nook, Moonlight Chic Traits: Snob, Materialistic, FoodieAspiration: Master ActorCareer: ActorLocation: Del Sol Valley Rules Time to show off your wealth!

Own a Luminary's Exotic Water Garden and keep Piranha’s in it.Have a Celebrity Home lot trait (you may not be one yet, but you sure do feel like one!). You must marry a fellow Actor. Once the perfect proposal has been made by the picture perfect future spouse: host a Family Gathering to announce your upcoming wedding!And don’t forget to have a rehearsal dinner before you tie the knot: don’t forget The Gravy Fountain Mark IV Stand! Somehow your spouse seems to love that hideous thing. A family member should be the wedding officiant As you agreed upon the gravy fountain, your spouse also agreed upon your vibrant ice cream maker. Have a scullery dedicated to become a sweet bar with the ice cream maker included. You may be(come) rich, but you are all about boho interior and Modern Parisian fashion trends! Include some vibrant and warm colors in your interior and apply some silk and sparkles in your outfits. Include your own Reader's Retreat in your house: the place where you can read a book and research some of your future roles as an actor. For some additional drama as we love drama: have a lover and give that sim a residence key.. Also, your kid(s) don’t really look like your partner.. Could it be the “werewolf genes” explanation or will your spouse ever find out..?Gen. 4: “The 2 sides of the internet”Sometimes you’re a wizard, sometimes you’re more of a fairy. Both personalities have the same interests and goals, but they both have different styles of achieving those. And boy, they both like their mischief. Sometimes pretty innocent, sometimes a tad more evil. This generation is all about fighting some battles and getting challenged. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to magic, but also when it comes to making money and finding energy to party hard. Starting a family might not be easy, but hey, maybe adopting or having a science baby will help when there’s no time finding a love interest?PacksEP: High School YearsGP: Realm of MagicSP: Paranormal, SpookyKits: Pastel Pop, Grunge RevivalTraits: Party Animal, Geek, ErraticAspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery (Drama Llama as a teen)Career: Freelancer - Computer expert (Simfluencer as a teen)Location: Glimmerbrook/Copperdale Rules Have a room/outhouse/basement/etc. dedicated as a place to host parties.

You will practice the Magic of Mischief. Have a Leafbat as your familiar. And start a wand collection: start with a Marble wand and eventually achieve the Wand of the Forgotten. Oh no! A Midlife crisis! Once you become an Adult, switch your career to become a Paranormal Investigator. Move to a new Haunted House residential lot and include a seance table with a Crystal Ball. Once you have successfully survived there for a simweek, move back to your old residence and become a freelancer again (I recommend you to start your family after finishing this mini challenge). Once you're back to your old lifestyle: include some spooky aspects for decoration as a “trophy”. There are two sides of you: The Pretty Prince(ss) and the Growling Grunge. This split personality should show in your outfits. For example: you have 4 daily wears: 2 of them are pastel pop style, and 2 of them are grungy. This also applies to formal, swimwear, etc. Before you move on to the next heir, you must kill off this character by: Death by Urban Myth. Gen. 5: “McDreamy, McSteamy and McProteiny”Everyone stops and stares as soon as you walk in. Is it your dreamy face, your steamy personality or your muscles built on protein shakes? You may not know what it is, but you know how to use it. This generation's heir is a heartbreaker, but has both beauty and brains. Some may say this sim got cast to become a doctor, and not really studied for it, but everyone trusts the twinkle in your eye. You might be lucky in love, but not as much as settling down and building a family.PacksEP: Get to WorkGP: Star WarsSP: Fitness, My First PetKits: Everyday Clutter, Industrial Loft Traits: Neat, Music Lover, GloomyAspiration: BodybuilderCareer: Athlete - Bodybuilder,Location: Oasis Springs Rules Once you’re at the max of the Athlete career, switch and become a Doctor (this makes a lot more sense if you know the cast of Grey's Anatomy). You must join your sim to work at least once a week, and start something romantic with a colleague. Before you quit your Athlete career, take a vacation and go to Batuu to join the Scoundrels. You must stay there for at least 4 days. You must return with a Droid. Build your own gym at home and include a climbing wall and dance floor where you can follow work out videos. Make sure your Hamster also has a spot in the gym. Make sure all “empty” spots in your house are filled with clutter: all the shelves must be stocked, empty spots in the bookcase, tables (keep space for plates and availability to cook, etc, but other than that you can clutter it). It might be cluttered, but the environment is clean of dirt. Have your interior designed in industrial/contemporary style. Maximize your fitness skill and get yourself a big romantic history: one ex-wife/husbandtwo ex-fiance(e)three ex-girl/boyfriendsfour woohoo partnersfive one night standsThe order of events does not matter, as long as you have at least 5 biological children and at least one of them has to grow up in this household.Gen. 6: “Modern Family of Vampires”You love to cook, you love a clean environment and you love your family. But you absolutely hate the sun. This might explain why you always host slumber parties and feed your guests well. This generation might take a bit of time, Vampires have a lot of it anyways. First you need to become a vampire, and eventually raise 5 little bat-babies. You need a green thumb for your plasma fruits, but also angler skills for your guests' dishes. Combine this with mixology and handiness skills: it’s a good thing that sleep isn’t mandatory for a vampire. PacksEP: Growing TogetherGP: VampiresSP: Home Chef Hustle, Vintage GlamourKits: Bust the Dust, Blooming Room Traits: Foodie, Romantic, Family-OrientedAspiration: Master MixologistCareer: Culinary - MixologistLocation: San Sequoia Rules Host Slumber Parties every week for the whole household: all kids (starting from toddler age) must invite at least one friend to sleep over (make a friendship bracelet to never forget). You also cannot reject anyone who asks you to stayover. A spare bedroom and additional beds or sleeping bags in the kids room is a must! And since your house will become super busy: build a treehouse where your sims can relax and escape the busy house. Become a Vampire and create vampire children. As this is a friendly vampire family: only live off plasma fruits and have a kind looking dark-form. Have a fully equipped kitchen and make sure you make great meals for your guests. You can also earn additional simoleons by selling muffins. As for yourself: treat your heirs bedroom with a vanity table: at least you can see yourself while in your human-form. Make sure your home is absolutely spotless: hiring a butler to achieve this goal is fine as well. You must update your vacuum with a Bottomless Pit. Also include at least 5 plants in each room. Yes, also the bathroom. Maximize your fishing skills.Gen. 7: “I am Creator."You love your family of Vampires. But somehow, you disliked the “extra” to it, like the extra sharp teeth and the extra sun protection. But most of all: you always missed out on those great family meals provided by your parents!This generation is built on the family love from the previous generation. But now it’s time to enjoy and explore it. This generation might not be the most rich, but there is a lot of creativity in crafting and a lot of love in giving.PacksEP: SeasonsGP: Dine OutSP: Romantic Garden, Nifty KnittingKits: Basement Treasures, Little Campers Traits: Good, Family-oriented, GeekAspiration: Neighborhood ConfidanteCareer: Knit and sell (on Plopsy) your wooly creationsLocation: Newcrest Rules Finish all the mini goals during holidays: and don’t forget to decorate the house accordingly. Schedule events and invite your family, friends and neighbors over the day before any major holiday. Maximize your cooking skills and unlock at least 3 new recipes while dining out at a restaurant. Maximize your garden skills (with the help of some sprinklers and Patchy the Straw Man): craft flower arrangements and gift them during the holidays. Children and teenagers must receive knitted clothes as a gift. Get your rocking chair ready! Take your old room furniture with you when you move out of the previous generation's lot. If unused, these items must be stored in the basement as they give you fond memories of your childhood. You may include other basement treasures and store your little camper toys in the basement when it’s off season (rainy/snowy outside). And this might even still be the best place to watch those old Star Wars movies and play some old school games. Build Newcrest up from the ground: It must contain at least 5 new vacant residential lots; A restaurant; A bar; A national parkGen. 8: “I am Creator."You’re a musical genius: the music you create is pure art. The amount of effort and style in your plays and in your appearance inspires the world. Its impact is huge! As is the impact at home on your girls, but not in a positive way.. This generation's heir grew up in a loving, but crowded and busy family. And clearly hated it. The kids, the loud noises, ugh. Thankfully you could escape the family, but the family life couldn’t escape you, as you adopted 4 girls. And you regretted every second of it. PacksEP: Cats & DogsGP: ParenthoodSP: Tiny Living, Kids RoomKits: Fashion Street, Modern Menswear Traits: Creative, Hates Children, GluttonAspiration: Musical GeniusCareer: Entertainer - musicianLocation: Brindleton Bay Rules Have two pets: they can be cats or dogs or a cat with a dog to your liking. These are your only friends, you must avoid non-household contacts unless they are animals. Make your lot a Cat Friendly and Dog Hangout. Adopt 4 girls, all together in the age of “child”. Kudos if you name one Annie. You must be strict, maybe even mean and Once they all turn to teenagers, you can have a biological child via the science baby function once the girls turn into teenagers. You must only give love to your biological child. Have a bulletin board that contains all the strict curfew rules. The girls may each have a private journal in which they can write and complain about their life. Live in a one bedroom Tiny Home Residential: the bedroom must include bunk beds for the girls as you can sleep on a Murphy bed. Start with a Tier 1 House - yes it is possible, you have to be a bit creative, but I playtested it - and once you get a biological child you can upgrade to a Tier 2 house. The kids room must not be decorated looking like your average kids room: it must be sad and gloomy. As you are a musician: your outfits are styleful, creative and modern. But the girls must look a bit trashy, dirty and grungy. Once you have your own biological child: maximize your parenting skills and once the adopted girls are all kicked out, upgrade to a Tier 3 house and have a play room and everything that your child wishes for.b]Gen. 9: “The Mediocre Adventures of Average Sim"Skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing and fighting bears over smores! You could do all this, but you don’t. Instead, you prefer sledding down the Bunny Slope and camping only on bug-free days. You consider yourself a very adventures Sim. But you’re also a very average sim. This generation is about - some may say “boring”- adventures in the outdoors. Maybe it has to do with the fact you grew up in a Tiny House, but you want to be outdoors. Just beware of the bugs!PacksEP: Snowy EscapeGP: Outdoor RetreatSP: Fitness, Bowling NightKits: Throwback Fit, First Fits Traits: Squeamish, Good, LonerAspiration: Grilled CheeseCareer: SalarypersonLocation: Mt.

Go camping during spring at Granite Falls: and don’t forget your repellant! Maximize your herbalism skill. Maximize your athletic skills by “safe sports” and work out videos. As bowling is also considered a safe sport, celebrate your birthdays and holidays at the bowling alley! Your full dressing style must be Streetwear, Hipster & Outdoorsy type.

Gen. 8: “The Art of Food”
Gen. 9: “Malcolm in the Knitting”
Gen. 10: “Buffy: The Vampire Hunter”

Gen. 1: “Balanced Barn”
You work hard, day in and day out. You prefer the sounds of animals over the sound of people talking. The key to your successful farm? It’s all about being good to nature. But getting your hands dirty and fighting off foxes sure makes a sim tired. So time to relax at the place where being calm is key: The Spa! Your chickens can manage themselves for a couple of hours right? .. Right?! Your life will be long and filled with challenges, but you will live your life fully and you will die here on the farm.

Your life will be lived at the farm: you get married here, your children must be born here and eventually you will be buried here.
Max. the wellness skill.

Gen. 2: “Student of the Supernatural”
You’re not only a Supernatural Student, you’re also a student of the Supernatural. Everything that can’t be explained, you love. You might take school a little slow, but there is more to learn outside the books. And there is more adventure outside of school. And your new neighborhood is the definition of strange.. And that’s not only in the name.

Gen. 3: “The Shaman of Sulani”
You're living a simple, yet magical island life. You’re all about living with what nature gives to you. You love everyone, but those that you don’t love, fear you and your curses. You’re considered the parent of the island and whenever you spot a single parent sim with a toddler or baby or even still pregnant. You move them into your home and take care of both of them (or more if there are other children) until the youngest becomes a child.

When the youngest sim becomes a child, you can move the added household out again.

Live off the grid.
Reach rank 5 of Spellcaster

Gen. 4: “Future-fantastic!”
Growing up with the island culture and community love has been amazing. It was straight out of a fairy tale. But when you became a teenager and saw what the effects were on the planet, you realized that something is going wrong. There are too many sims and barely any places to house them. Food goes straight to waste, too much pollution and then there are even (outer space) wars going on! It’s your goal to find a solution for all of this and show the world that we can change for the better so that the future will be fantastic!

Gen. 5: “MOVE. THAT. BUS.”
You live for the glitter and the glam. The more luxurious lifestyle, the better! But you always felt a pity for those that are not as gifted as you are: people without proper fashion and interior taste. So it is time for you to give back to the community! Changing the life of a sim: one room per time. You know how important it is to have a balanced home. It helps you to start the day peacefully and end the day calmly. An indoor swimming pool for mermaids? Done! A movie room for toddlers? Finished by yesterday! A guest house for the dogs? Your puppy will love it! A guest house for ghosts? Even floating guests deserve the best! The real secret is that you get your inspiration and fashion sense from the afterlife anyways.

You're that it-sim everyone is jealous of. But when an anonymous sim (probably that simstagram-hater of yours) signed you and your roommates up for a week surviving in the jungle, things are about to change. Will the jungle change you?

You’re a brilliant scientist, but you have yet to discover the science behind raising children. Your partner seems to be disinterested in chores (and raising the kids in general, even though your partner stays at home..). And the kids are WILD.

The weird feeling of being awake at 2 in the morning. It can only mean one thing: VAMPIRES! Your ancestors faced them several times, but now it comes to you: you’re on the hunt for vampires together with your furry four-legged friend. And you won’t stop until you lock them all in your basement.

I love these challenges. Just one question. How does earning and passing on money work?

Hi @Pepper61! Thanks for the love :smiley: I will update this in the standard rules! But here's my answer:

You earn money by work mainly, but you can do a "side task" to get some extra income. E.g. sell items you find around town or something related to your main career: nothing too heavy such as master painting skills and selling masterpieces while you should be living off a salary as a veterinarian.

For passing money to another generation: divide the household funds within the next generation, but with a minimum of 10.000 simoleons for the next heir and a minimum of 2.000 for the current generation.

Example 1: you're about to move to the next heir. The next heir has no siblings and you have 30.000 in the bank. You take 28.000 simoleons when you move out.
Example 2: The next heir has 2 siblings and you have 32.000 in the bank. You take 10.000 when you move out.
Example 3: You have 5.000 simoleons in the bank. The next heir moves out with just 3.000 simoleons, but you can take some of the furniture with you or sell them for money. Or just decide to hang a little longer in the current generation to save up some more money before you move out.

Hope that makes it clear!

Find love when at the Adult stage. (You marry in your own romantically styled backyard and your fur-babies should wear appropriate outfits while attending.)
You keep your Spellcaster a secret. But all these Spooky Stuff in and around your house, it sure is hard to not be called a “witch/warlord” by your neighbors.
You throw the best Spooky Party’s with the ones that are at least “friend”-level. But since social activity is taking too much energy, you just throw a party every other week.

Gen. 6: “Don’t forget to Like & Subscribe me on my Simstagram!”
At school kids teased you for being the 5th “pet” of the family. You were embarrassed by your parent’s obsession and tried hard to fit in and be normal. Only to find out that you don’t want to be normal. You want to be extraordinaire and show off your perfect lifestyle as the #1 Celebrity!

Gen. 9: “The Beauty with the Brains (and the teeth)”
While camping with your super parent you had a wild dream, but it did not feel like a dream. It was more of a vision of you in the future. You weren’t wearing hand me downs or clothes that were allowed to become dirty. No, you were wearing the latest fashion and followed the latest fashion trends. You did not learn by observing nature, but you learn by reading books and working on projects. But there was one odd thing about these visions. When you looked in the mirror, you did not see yourself. When you woke up you were not hungry for waffles, but for.. Plasma?
