What was the first challenge you did?

I've started many challenges but most just take too long for me and just become not fun. I break the rules or go my own way and make my own.

The only challenge I ever completed as is is the Trade Off Challenge. Basically you are playing two almost roomates that are opposites but can only play one each week. You play them for about a sim year and complete certain goals ... like getting so many skills and getting to the top of your job. It was fun to me because it was funny to watch the non controlled sim or to try to guide them if you could a little. It was also fun to play with traits I might not usually play with through that. I had a lot of fun because it was fun but also because I saw an end to it.

1) rags to riches
2) 7 toddlers
3) only whims
4) The Merkland Challenge
And
Many more ...

Actually, the first challenge I did in the Sims 4 was nothing official. It involved the serial romantic aspiration. Can not remember what it was called. Simmers were doing it to keep busy and off the forum when the game first came out to avoid the no pools drama!

I did Rags To Riches because it sounded fun and like it was something I could do, some of the other challenges intimidated me with complexity or the length of time needed to play them out. It was fun, fairly easy once I figured out how to make money and it didn't take a long time to play it through. I did complete it.

I only recently decided to do black widow as my first challenge, but I lost a lot of progress when my game crashed and I deleted that entire save in anger lol; I think I want to start over with a different sim, though. It was fun.

@Planet_Pug_Simz Decades challenge sounds fun! I am planning on recreating it for Europe.

If anyone is interested in legacy-ish challenges than you can look up a challenge called Differences in the Family Tree. It is an interesting challenge and it sounds very fun.

My first was a Teen on the run. Teens couldn't live alone in previous games, so this was a very interesting consept for me. It was tough, he had to juggle school, making money to feed himself and his first aspiration. it took some time, but it was a lot of fun. Sadly, I have lost that save after I finished the challenge.

I'm most interested in challenges with very simple rules, ones I don't have to constantly look up. Rags2Riches, Teen on the run and Abandoned kids are 3 I've done.

Until I joined this forum I didn’t even know about challenges. I have tried the rags to riches and found it very boring and abandoned it. That was my first challenge I tried. Since then I have not done any other gameplay challenges as none of them interest me. The first challenge I actually completed was the solid build challenge. I much prefer the build challenges as they improve my building skills and take me out of my comfort zone.

The first one I did was the 'Differences in the Family Tree' challenge, and I was really enjoying it until I accidentally deleted the save :# I didn't have the heart to start over. The only one I've ever completed is the 'Not so Berry' one, and I'm about two-thirds through the 'I'm a Lover' challenge (gen 7).

I don't really do challenges that aren't build ones but gameplay: rags to riches. I've done that one twice, once for Cats&Dogs and once for Get Famous, with the end objectives being having a successful vet clinic and being a superstar, respectively.

I love it because it lets me go through a specific pack's features bit by bit.
