What type of challenges do you play the most in The Sims?

I play Legacy challenges and runaway teen challenges - but I will also play challenges most of the time that the devs give - like the Easter egg challenge, the Day of the Dead challenge, Plant Sims challenge - and most of any other the offer up. I play any challenges with in the game - like Sims 3 offered between WA and Ambitions. I played mysteries and trying to solve them in all the Sims series games - and I also set challenges in my game for different households from time to time. I will reward the sim who does what ever it is without having any failures and take away items from Sims personal inventory when they have failures.

It makes the game more rewarding and fair when they succeed and when they fail it costs them something. Sometimes a few have been thrown out of the game and I replace them with the next in line Sims I want to play. With the lack of space in this game I often cannot have all the Sims I want in it. So a loser sim gets replaced by one I hope does things better.

Challenges are pretty much all I do in the Sims! Sometimes I'll just play a casual save, but not very often. I've tried all the different types listed in this poll, sometimes multiple times. But the ones I go back to time and again are the Story/Gameplay challenges. I always have a backstory in mind for my Sims for the reason they're doing whatever the challenge requires too. So it's not like I'm just mindlessly grinding through the tasks until the end goal is reached. That wouldn't be fun at all in my opinion.

I like doing them more than once too because it's fun trying to improve or do them in a different way, either by the rules given or with my own imaginative twist. Sometimes while playing one challenge, I'll get an idea for another I've already played and sometimes one challenge will morph into another challenge.

That's the beauty of The Sims, it doesn't have to be repetitive if you don't want it to be, because there's so many different creative ways you can do the same things with different results. It's just so satisfying when you succeed and fun while playing even if you don't!

I love a challenge, whether in the game or just for my life in general. <3

I don't play challenges, as the rules would annoy me, but I might play my own version of a challenge if the basic premise looks interesting.

Tip - if any of you play the Teen runaway challenge - I suggest you don't play it until you have a decent number of teens and kid age sims in your game, if you play like me and adhere to the rules. One rule I always failed was only allowing teens to talk with child and other teen Sims in the game. Often I would fail because the game did not have a lot of teens and kids when it started unless you added a bunch yourself and the sim I had my sim talking with was not a teen after all but a YA. For me that was "Challenge over" and a failure. So I always had to start over.

So now I only play that challenge after my game is built up naturally or I have placed several families into the neighborhoods with a teen and child Sim. Often I just add a few ( 3-4) to houses in the neighborhood from either the gallery or manage households homeless listing. Otherwise I lose the challenge before it even gets started, as lonely sims won't do anything you want them to. I even tried making a teen a loner and they still got lonely anyway - but adding a few sims the right ages helps a lot.
