I hadn't heard about challenges in The Sims until fairly recently. For new players, new to challenge players or players looking for new game ideas: What are your favorite Challenges? What are your...

I like the challenges I have tried (of course I only try challenges I am interested in), but admit I like the crunchy parts of games and enjoy breaking them within their own rules (it is how I find my fun).
72/100 of 100 Baby challenge. I think it is fun, but do have to take breaks.
Ways I break it:
- Fame, Instant "Romantic Besties" makes it pretty easy to get each new 'Donor'.
- Clubs, "Rally the Troops" means maxed Bladder, Energy and Hunger for everyone above the age of toddler.
- Buying School Projects means gaining the grades is pretty fast (a grade level a day if also on a good schools lot trait).
Super Sim. Not up to date, but Careers take so long. Also let my spouse die (engineered their death and brought them back to the family as a ghost) so I didn't have to feed them youth potions as well.
Ways I break it:
- Fame, Being able to get the career boost is great
- Book of Life is great for needs (can be used in 100 baby, but more fun for me in Super Sim)
- Vampire was broken when I did it (could not gain points after Prime) but I think it would be fun for avoiding certain needs - oddly when you are a vampire, the need avoidance traits do not work (If you have forever fresh, but are a vampire, you can still get dirty).
In all, find one that appeals to you and give it a go, but modify as needed to boost your fun. It is a game after all.
