Hey, fellow Simmers!Since I don't own Discover University yet, I would like to start a thread with ideas regarding "let's play" challenge ideas that I can include to my game when it's finally in my hands.Here are a few of mine:1) Rags to Riches (Uni Edition) - Something like James Turner did on his channel, but I'd like it to be a fuller household with at least 3 Sims.2) Single Mom/Dad - Quite easy to understand, create a Sim who is single and non-pregnant at the beginning of the challenge and move on from there, of course if you play with a female Sim you'll have to move off-campus.3) Full Househould, Full Terms! - Play an 8-Sim househould with full terms for each and every one of your Sims! Talking about stress, right? 4) Ghost Students! - Play with a household full of ghosts.5) Brilliance... Here I Come! - Try to get all degrees with only one Sim before they reach Adulthood (harder) or Elderhood (hardest).Feel free to discuss your own ideas and add on mine, these are only first drafts after all and I need to edit them before my final exam, a.k.a the game itself, get it? ;) I'll add more information when I begin doing them myself. Happy Simming!

I really like your Brilliance idea! I think you could add to that a bitMaybe u could have some variations, like hardest is no skills before you enroll. Maybe also you could make it so you have to complete all the skills in your degree in the first term :smirk: oof that would be so hard! When I come up with more ideas ill tell u! Ive been waiting for a post like dis for agessss

I had a dorm with haunted/cursed/gremlins traits + one urn with a ghost in the common area. Studying full household full terms was insanely hard but super fun. Sim I was thinking was doing the best of all ended up on probation. It was something like 7 toddlers challenge but College edition ))As for traits/ghosts they had no real impact in my game. I assume dorms somehow protected from these bad traits. My students just calmly chatted with ghosts and they even cleaned their dorm and did laundry. I think this one should be tried with normal housing. Probably than it'll be harder.

Ahh I think this will definitely expand and create a more realistic and interesting University gameplay! Thanks for the ideas!!

Guys, I also thought of this challenge yesterday."Elders' Golden University Times!" - Basically, you need to play with at least one Elder in your household and have him/her/them enroll in university and complete at least one degree before his/her/their time is over. I don't play with Elders a lot, but this seemed like a fun opportunity to do something different and considering Elders' needs decay faster, this will definitely make things more interesting.

I'm doing a single mom lets play myself. However I'm not so sure what rules to set for myself. I think it's a bit too easy that in the some the babies and toddlers just go to daycare whenever your sim leaves the lot for free. I was thinking of making a rule for myself that if the m wants to leave the house for anything else than lectures, she should pay $20 an hour daycare fee or something. But I'm really open to any other ideas to make the gameplay a bit more interesting for me :)

A little bit of an explanation for my last idea: Of course, it's much harder to complete the challenge in the Young Adult lifestage, that is before a Sim reaches Adulthood, than it is to complete it until Elderhood. But what I meant is that you'll keep playing with the same Sim much longer if you choose to keep playing with him/her/them until they reach Elderhood. That's what I put "hardest" after the Elderhood part of the challenge and not the Adulthood one. I hope I didn't confuse you any further. :p

Also, adding to the first idea, the household could either start with 0 Simoleons or 100 Simoleons for a bit of a range when it comes to difficulty.

Ah, I see, I guess it's only the feeling that you play with Ghost Sims instead of normal ones but, as you said, the other aspects of Uni gameplay are pretty much the same. And, yes, an 8-Sim household is chaos even without all of the Sims away in college, now we'll finally try hard for some things. I love when a game challenges us and it's not often that I feel this way with The Sims 4, so... ;)

I got an idea...

what if you had an asylum challenge, but all the Sims simultaneously went to Uni too?

OH. MY. GOD. That would be fantastic!!! How did I forget about the Asylum Challenge?! Shame, shame, shame. My favorite LPs include this one. I'm so in, I'll definitely try it!!! <3
