What makes a good challenge?

I've been thinking about making a Sims challenge. There are so many out there. Some I am so excited to start and then trail off and never finish. Others I get addicted to and play and complete in record time. I personally find it comes from the details in the backstory created for each generation. If there's too much I can't add my own flair and too little leaves with generation gaps and boring stories.

My point: To you what makes a challenge entertaining, worthwhile, or just plain good?

    To me, it's something that forces you to play different from what you normally do. Exploring new facets of the game almost makes it a new game. This may occasionally flop since you might not like the new playstyle, but it usually holds my interest for a while. What is too much detail for a backstory? Would you mind looking at my challenge I recently made which is a generation prompt challenge and let me know if you think it's too much or too little?

    I really enjoy aspect of chaos challenges bring to my game. Usually when I play everything is perfect, but challenges doesn't allow perfection.

    @CharityCodes too much detail meaning the entirety of the gameplay for a generation is determined beyond just traits and goals. Leaving little player freedom. I've only ever come across one challenge that made me feel that way, I usually find the details lacking. I'll go check yours out!
