The gurus have confirmed that in addition to the lot challenges coming with Cottage Living (simple living and the fox one), and Off the Grid (base game), there will be other challenges related to other packs.I’ve had a look at the existing lot traits, and noticed a lot of the ‘negative’ traits have had their description altered to include what pack they are from, while the others haven’t been changed (even if they are from another pack).The lot traits that have changed are ‘cursed’, ‘filthy’, ‘gremlins’, ‘grody’, ‘landfill lot’, ‘quake zone’, ‘reduce and recycle’, ‘spooky’, ‘volcanic activity’ and ‘off the grid’ (the only base game one).Given that only these have changed, I suspect these will be considered lot challenges and no longer count towards the 3 lot trait limit (there won’t be a limit for challenges).

It’s interesting that the Creepy Crawlies lot trait isn’t part of this considering a Sim can become poisoned and potentially die from being bitten by a Creepy Crawly. I guess it’s cool that they’re freeing up slots for the lot traits. Is the Challenges system only going to be in CoL but cross pack compatible or is it a base game update?

I assume the following lot traits will be converted into challenges:CursedFilthyGremlinsGrodyLandfill LotOff-the-GridQuake ZoneReduce and RecycleSpookyVolcanic Activity

We just need to be able to create our clothes or buy them as a challenge!

Will it be possible to add on more than three to the challenge lot traits?

I think the gurus said there won’t be a limit

I'm pretty sure that I've heard this too. Although having too many could probably lead to challenges mixing and not being possible.

I hope they strengthen them. I rarely encounter the effects, even though my homes all have these traits.

There's an article on sims community (https://simscommunity.info/2021/07/14/the-sims-4-cottage-living-all-about-lot-challenges/) that claims "We’ve gotten a list from The Sims Team of all the Lot Traits being converted into Lot Challenges" - the list includes all the traits discussed above, plus the 'creepy crawlies' trait is also included.

One aspect I hadn't noticed before is that there is a 'randomise' button for lot challenges, which could be fun.

I’m curious, if you used the creepy crawly trait before could your sims die if they got bitten by the bugs? I never wanted to use it because I thought they might be able to die, though I would have loved to use it to make sims feel uncomfortable in a lot.

My Sim gets bitten practically every day but has had no lasting effects.
