I'm looking for an easy first challenges to do. Currently I'm doing NotSoBerry Challenge but I'm on my 2nd Mint gen Sim and if they die then I may start another one Before trying the NSB one again. So my two question are....1) What was the 1st - Sims 4 challenge you did? And Why?2) Did you complete the challenge?

I only do one challenge per iteration. That's Pinstar's Legacy Challenge. I like the 'rules' that are applied. I first did this challenge with Sims2, where I started my Sims Odyssey. Prior to my taking up that challenge, I always played with autonomy off. Big mistake, I learned in the long run. Never once in the entire time I played that game (and I became addicted rather swiftly, too) and played several hours every day of the week, did I have a Sim swing from the fridge out of boredom. I completed the challenge and in the course of it, I had many 'firsts' occur in my game. A male Sim was abducted by aliens and (drum-roll, please) he came back preggars! (There were points for that if memory serves.) Since then, I've made it a point to play that challenge in each iteration. Sadly, I did not complete the Sims 3 version. My young heiress had the Gold Digger aspiration and she ended up stealing her auntie's life-long unrequited love-interest. She managed to get preggars (the niece) forcing the very rich Sim to marry her, and from then on plotted ways to put an end to the old Geezer's life to fulfill said aspiration. She tried to drown him by removing the ladder from the swimming pool, but he just kept climbing back out of the side. (Heretofore, a Sim couldn't do that. :O) Before I could resolve the situation I experienced a catastrophic health event and ended up in the hospital in another state for about three weeks. Even when I was allowed to travel back via car to the state I was living and still live, it was not to go home to my house, but to stay at a facility akin to a Convalescent hospital for another two weeks. Got out just prior to Thanksgiving. I made the decision to finish the mini-series in my siggie by treating it like a job. Every morning I carefully climbed the stairs to reach my loft office and ignoring my emails, this forum, and my game, I wrote all day long. About ten months later the story was finally done. Yay. All of this to say, that by the time I got back to my Challenge save, I had quite forgotten what I was doing, where my Sims were going. In other words, I was so totally detached I was too overwhelmed to even pick up where I'd left off, which honestly I couldn't remember where I'd left off. LOL So, that's the only one I didn't complete.I remember anxiously awaiting a Legacy Challenge for Sims4 and not long after the game launched Pinstar and his now wife, had it up and running. I began mine in Oct. or Nov. 2014. I messed up bad due to not rereading the heir rules and not recalling that there was a codicil if the would be heir didn't have the trait (something I had chosen myself to be one of the three things to chose an heir by) and how I could resolve it. smh Instead, I moved him out of the household, (a major league no-no in this challenge). I was going to recreate my second generation, instead, but that's when I discovered that the walk-bys were one of a kind and they didn't regenerate. My Founder's wife had died in the game. :open_mouth: I was so very discouraged at that moment that I deleted the save as I did in Sims 3. (Yeah, sometimes I'm too rash.) About a year later I decided to throw caution to the wind, and I restarted my Legacy Challenge. I kept my Founder Sim as I really liked his backstory. I was now emotionally ready for this Challenge. So, I went into my blog post and deleted all of the chapters from the old defunct challenge and then instead of copying and saving the backstory part I wanted to keep to post it anew, I just deleted the parts that no longer applied and picked things up from there. That's why that one chapter has the year 2014 as the date it was posted. The rest were from 2015, I believe. It took a year to complete, but that's mostly because I still wasn't playing this game everyday as I did Sims2 & 3. I'm playing that way, now, however.

Had my pretty sim meet, fall-in-love, marry a handsome sim at a venue, then have her husband drown in a pool & start all over again with another guy. I did this five times so she can get the married a sim in different lots reward & the black widow reward. My sim is a vixen. Lol.

I think it was Build Newcrest or SuperSim. I never finished any official challenge I started. Though I had a supersim after all. I always start to play on an empty lot with zero money. It is fun. But I don't like to follow any rules because I find them limiting and I just want to play like how I feel to play. I never use cheats.Currently I am trying to reach 10 generations. I am at gen 6. It will take me a while because I play rotationally. Now I remember that once I played uglacy and I would have even completed it but when I got first normal color skin offspring (previous were red) the child burnt to death because there was a bug where he couldnt extinguish himself :( Nor could anyone else.

I play legacies and try to get them to the 10th generation. I got inspired by the legacy challenge but i don't follow any rule at all.

The Drifter Challenge or 7 Toddler Challenge, i watched some let's play videos on YouTube and thought the challenges were interestingi have only completed the 100 baby challengehttp://thedrifterchallenge.blogspot.com/ the drifter challengehttps://sims-online.com/sims-4-play-challenge-grow-up-7-toddlers/ 7 toddler challenge

Starter Home Challenge.

Simply build a house that's within an affordable budget (which is quite harder than expected). It must be nicely furnished, evenly decorated, and cheap enough so that your sims won't struggle.

It's a super fun challenge if you're not much into building. It's like taking baby steps. :) The more energy you put into your work, the better the results will be.

So far I've made some pretty good lots because of it and look foward to see my next big challenge.

Learning the basics of the game was my first challenge. And it was quite a challenge!

Yeah, I love to build houses, although I admit I'm not nearly as skilled as some others on this site, but learning how to use this new system really was hard for me to grasp. LOL I love it, now.

Just learning the ins and outs is hard enough. Try switching from Sims4 back to either Sims3, o2 or both!

My first challenge was a settler challenge in the 19th century with off the grid lot trait. This challenge was turned into a toddler challenge because I needed a male heir, then I quit, but at least I finished a community garden with a community meeting hall.

Maybe I will try it again with the next ep, but this time in the future on a "foreign" planet. This rebuild challenge still trigger me.

I started out with playing the legacy challenge, but quickly I started another save, where I played the 100 babies challenge. After a while, I got bored of staying at the same family all the time, so now I am playing the pioneer-challenge (which I found here on the forum), where I can rotate between different families.

Probably going to sound lame but I didn't do one until I made one with other Simmers. So the Broadway Legacy Challenge was my first challenge and I am proud how it came out and being able to make it with friends.

My first challenge was Not So Berry. I'm currently on generation 4. Still working on it, although it is on hiatus. I'm not having as much fun as I was having when I started.

First challenge I tried was the asylum challenge. Also the first I tried in the sims 4, a lot easier in TS4 than TS3 IMO. Only had 2 fires and no deaths. I was rather surprised.
