Here's one that I've been thinking of--
Try having your sim not sleep on the bed or any comfort objects. For them to keep their energy up, have them drink "Sleep Replacement" potion from Reward Store. Do this as much as you can without your sim sleeping on the bed, couch, chair or the floor. To score yourself, count the number of Sleep Replacement potion you have consumed.
Let's call this the Don't Sleep Challenge.
Hm, that's an interesting idea. Even though I don't like challenges, I could imagine this to be interesting in that it would encourage you to play your sim's moods a bit more (i.e. play out his whims to get satisfaction points to buy that sleeping potion). The problem being 1) the price of sleeping potions (can you get so much satisfaction during a single day?), 2) some whims are just weird and 3) you can just click away whims until you get a whim that suits you.

Having autonomy on leaves me with plenty resistance from all my Sims. Especially in Sulani - no Sim is taking my directions there seriously and will drop it from their queue repeatedly.
Achievements are more natural in other types of games. There is an achievement list in Sims 4, @Wenzel - have you checked that and gotten everything on it?
I have to agree maybe I've not discovered all the playstyles that the game offers yet. Also, I'm motly playing very small households (so that there is not that much autonomy).
I'm not the achievement type of guy. I don't like achievements in games. Most of the time they feel very much "put-on". I can't tell exactly what I'm expecting from the sims. I just wished that making my sims live a happy life would be more difficult. And that they would experience the world's harshness more often. Not in that "cute" way (oh no, the cake I made has bad quality!). I also want them to suffer! I want them to go through long term emotional ups and downs, I also want them to experience social rejection from time to time! All that happiness feels empty and cheap if there is no suffering on the flipside!
