Rags To Riches Mega Challenge

Rags to Riches Mega Challenge




Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to completely change your sims lifestyle to get them from living in rags, all the way to riches? In this challenge you will find a creative twist on raising to the top. You will also be able to customize most aspects of it to fit your gameplay style in hopes that you don’t feel too stifled by the bulk that sometimes can be overwhelming in challenges like this. Below you will find that some aspects of this challenge are similar to the original but I have since edited it to hopefully be a little less daunting.

In the Rags to Riches Mega Challenge you will have main goals to complete and inside of those goals are steps you must finish before you can start it. In the edited version of this challenge I made optional goals. You no longer are forced to have a family, or get married, or work a traditional job. You can customize the optional challenges based on if you have the packs for them or if that type of gameplay even fits your style. This challenge may look a bit daunting but when you take into consideration that most of the information here are optional goals you can choose to add, it becomes much simpler.

Below you will find that this challenge is broken up into multiple posts to make it a bit easier for you to pinpoint exactly what you are looking for.

This is a bit of the backstory on why this challenge was created. Completely optional to read, feel free to ignore it.

Hello there, I am SimishGamer also known as LadyAlitear on some platforms. I created The Sims 4 Rags to Riches Mega Challenge back in 2017. At the time I had been doing the basic Rags to Riches challenges and hadn’t completed it a single time because I kept losing interest in the middle of it. I had decided one day to go through the forums and look for a new challenge. I scrolled for hours and liked some aspects of other challenges but to be honest none fit how I wanted to play. So I sat down with a pen and paper and decided that I was going to write out a challenge I wanted to play. When I made the original version of R2RMC it was back before Get to Work came out. I edited it to include some of that a while later but then I completely forgot about my challenge.

Years later in 2021 I was part of a streaming community and one of the girls was doing a Rags to Riches challenge on her stream. It seemed familiar to me and I had her post the link. Funny enough that link led me right back to my own page. I quickly read through it since I had forgotten most of the information in it and realized that it was massively outdated and was shaped to fit how I play The Sims. Now, at the time I had not expected that in those few years that I forgot about R2RMC, that it would get as popular as it did. I came back to people asking lots of questions and wanting more out of the challenge since it was so outdated.

It is now 2023 and I have realized even more that with the changes I made in the challenge with the updated post, that it is still structured to fit my gameplay style. I am currently working on restructuring both the main goals and the optional ones. I am also trying to add more onto the optional section as packs continue to be released for the game. I am attempting to rectify some of the questions or things that don’t quite make so much sense to some people. So please if you have any questions or suggestions throw them my way. I am more than happy to answer them.

  • Some Other Ideas:

    You can't sell anything you have in your inventory or build mode inventory. (Play music near crowds) or (Tend a bar)

    You have to upgrade every lot in every town.

    You can only spend your money when you have a job.

    You can only grab chips from a bar or have a quick meal or drink from a fridge.

    I’m confused. Are we allowed to sell paintings and cross stitch things to make money before having a job or no??

    Mildly confused. You're to be in the career path to make money from things like painting and programming etc, yet you can still make money off them publicly before you get  a job? Did I uust misinterpret that, or how does that work

  • I'm confused as to what qualifies as a starter home or basic home. Is it a monetary value or just the items listed in the post?
