Sims 4 Time Lord Challenge (Updated February 2025)

The purpose of this challenge is two-fold: fandom and variety. For fans, this is a great opportunity to roleplay as a Time Lord. For non-fans, this is a challenge that allows you to use most of the available traits on one Sim who will change appearance yet keep their skills, reward traits, relationships and aspiration points.

Time Lords are a time-traveling race in the Doctor Who universe (click here to learn more). When they are mortally wounded or in the brink of death, a Time Lord can “regenerate” to cheat death.

There are three gameplay types for the challenge, and they are as follows:

"Life & Death Expansion Pack" gameplay

CASUAL: sim lifespan is set to Normal. Non-expansion gameplay.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO": sim lifespan can be anything; your Time Lord does not age, and they regenerate based on your own criteria. Non-expansion gameplay.

    OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! What a fantastic idea!!! <3 I'm a huge DW fan and this seems so freakin' interesting! If I hadn't already started my neighborhood story, I'd TOTALLY work on this. I hope others will be interested. I'm so bummed that I can't do it (two other stories and couldn't handle a 3rd one).

    What are your rules for cheating? Obviously no age cheating as it's vital to the challenge. I assume no skill cheating either. But, what about motherlode, making sims happy (mailbox), and other things?

    If I had decided to play, I'd create Donna to be his first companion. <3 She'd be Dr Donna. Hehe

    I'm still working on the rules, but so far no cheating whatsover except for cas.fulleditmode. However, you can take these as guidelines; you can "cheat" to craft a narrative out of it.

    So I updated the rules on Companions. I tested it out last night, and it was a drag to have both Time Lord and Companion have the same Aspiration. The Companion's main function now is to assist and support the Time Lord.

    How do you keep track of the number of whims completed? Is there something in the sim stats or do you have to keep count on your own?

    There is a stat called Total Whims Completed under the Goals section.

    Major rule change. I've restricted the age on this challenge to Adult.

    In my playtest, when switching from Elder to Adult in CAS, all my reward traits were deleted. After testing further and further, any change of age in CAS.fulleditmode will delete any reward traits. So if you want to roleplay as an older Time Lord, you can color their gray.

    Changing genders did not affect the purchased traits. Just make sure that the ages do not switch in CAS.fulleditmode.
