What Are Your Favorite Challenges

Aw, come on, no suggestions, no sharing fun ideas? No how tos or help? Nothing? (sad moodlet)

Hi @Catzilla - don't want you feeling all unheard and lonely in your thread.

I haven't played challenges all that often - and i often bend the rules to suit my story once it gets going.

An easy one to start with is the Homeless teen. I found this fun and easy to manage.

I have been working on 100 babies challenge - it gets you good a managing babies and toddlers because you have no choice. I have to take breaks from it because toddlers are not my thing day in day out but it taught me so much I use in other saves.

The Not so berry challenge has 3 or 4 rules for each generation so you don't have to wrack your brains to work out if something is allowed or not. It is designed to get you to use parts of the game people might sometimes avoid or just haven't tried eg. leave someone at altar, deviance aspiration etc

I have just started watching the Englishsimmer's celebrity golddigger challenge on youtube. It looks like it has the potential to be fun (even if its a bit unfun for the celebrities - but we have all wanted to do away with Thorn or Britany at some stage :wink: )

I basically only do challenges. There are different types of challenges, such as legacy, CAS, baby and Build Mode challenges. Examples of legacy challenges are Parentcy, The Disney Princess 10 Gen. Challenge, Perfect Genetics, and The Legacy Challenge. CAS Challenges include Breed out the Weird, and the easier version Perfect Genetics. Baby Challenges are 100 Baby challenge, and others. Build mode challenges are Build a city and more. If you look up Sims 4 challenges on a web browser then you will find a website at simscommunity.info that you can find a lot more challenges like these. Hope this helped!

You should check the Creativity Corner for challenges.

My favourites are SuperSim (using one sim to complete every career and every aspiration in the game), Legacies, and the Decades challenge (a legacy which covers 1890-2000).

Thank you for starting the thread off!
Do you do more storytelling than challenges? I just heard about that recently too. I'm not sure how that works, is it you play and then write a story, write detailed backstories for your sims or a combo or something else?
I don't enjoy the sim baby or toddler stage so much myself.
I'll check out Englishsimmer's youtube.
Years ago, when I dabbled a short while with might have been Sims 3, my sim tried to romance one of the few normal looking single male sims. He was wealthy, lived in a nice home but, alas, he would only flirt and then went off and married a Townie.
I admit to taking over Vladislav and turning him into a young, studly rockstar sort of fellow. ;)

Nice, thanks, I can look up the challenges by names.
I did look up challenges before but most of what turned up was on really old, non-active communities so you couldn't ask questions or anything, thanks for the new link, I'll give that a try.
This all sounds like it would be so much fun, thanks.

Random legacy is my favorite because the rules change each generation, depending on what you've rolled. I also like that it encourages me to play with things I've never bothered with before like collections or certain careers.

Cool, thank you!
Wow, I bet completing every career and aspiration would take a looooong time to complete.
I've been sort of doing a vampire legacy in one game. Decades sounds super interesting too.
I'll have a look at Creativity Corner too, thanks.

That's a really good idea, it would help with fully exploring the game. Challenges open up a lot more exploration of the game, I didn't quite see this until now. Cool!

Yes, it really does. My 1st generation was a couple with 2 children. Dad was a musician and mom was a freelance author. I had to complete their aspirations (something I rarely do) and have them sit down as a family and eat at least one gourmet meal per week, which was sometimes a challenge. 2nd generation is single with 4 kids in the doctor career. All the kids/teens have to get all the scouting badges and every trait has to be randomized, even the lot traits. ??
