What's your favourite challenge?

I adore the decades challenge. I prefer legacy challenges in general and the decades was my first one and I am going to do it again. You really connect with the sims' stories in that one. I also do it on shortened life spans and every sim year is a decade.

I really enjoyed the Drifter Challenge. I only made it to House 9 but it was a lot of fun because when the heir becomes a YA you move out to an empty lot. I enjoy rags to riches type game play so this was fun starting over each generation. It is the longest I ever played a family.

I am currently playing the Disney Princess Challenge making a cottage for each generation and having them each start over on an empty lot. Having a lot of fun building and playing this so far.

I am also enjoying Movin Up and am still playing that challenge. I am however getting tired of living in an apartment but it won't be long and I will be done with it. Each generation I do the Bachelor or Bachelorette Challenge to decide who the heir is going to marry.

I am also enjoying the Rainbow Challenge. https://berrysweetboutique.tumblr.com/post/159783834443/ts4-berry-sweet-pastel-rainbowcy-challenge. It is a pastel rainbow challenge. I am not using skin tones just doing it with what we have in the game.

There are just so many I loved playing. It is hard to list them all. But I would say these are at the top of my list at the moment. Oh and also Box of Chocolates is very fun for something really different and Random Legacy Challenge. Those are on my list next.

The first challenge I ever played was self-imposed, it was to find and grow all of the base game plants. It was really fun and interesting. I slept on benches and explored in different worlds to wait for plants to spawn, made a ton of friends with townies and found out about a lot of hidden spaces in the world. I learned a lot about splicing and fertilizing and it was just super informative.
I recently began a Sulani based legacy so that I could discover all that there is to Sulani and really embrace the beautiful world.
I am extremely tempted to start the imperial concubine challenge, however, I need to shop for some cc and aspire to redo an entire save file to be Asian-inspired before taking on that challenge. However, it looks like it will be a real challenge to just keep up with the rules.
The fashion agency challenge was also pretty fun, I already had a family with a similar storyline so I used it to finish off their story.

Side note: the 100 baby challenge really wasn't very enjoyable for me, I made it to 50 babies before I realized that I was boring myself to death. There was no story, no space for detour in the rules, it was just bland chaos from beginning to end. I traded the feeling of satisfaction over completing the challenge for real gameplay that I could enjoy and look forward to. How is it for others?

I enjoyed doing the "Collect every type of ghost" challenge. Only instead of killing sims I didn't like, I did the opposite.
Pros:
Alot of sims "visiting" your household (social never went yellow)
Your favorite sims will always be with you in your morbid collection
Free food from ghosts cooking


Cons:
Alot of sims "visiting" your household (so many ghosts interrupting my sim mid poop)
Ghosts causing mayham (listen just cause my tv killed you doesn't mean you should destroy it for the 15th time)
They eat EVERYTHING
House is haunted

My favorite is 100 baby challenge. I'm currently doing it and baby nr. 29 was just born. It was tough at the beginning because the mother got triplets after the first baby and she didn't even have money to buy toddler beds. I had to sell a lot of things to afford the beds and I still didn't have any skill items for them. I almost gave up, but somehow I survived (and also the toddlers survived) and now when the mother has 6 planters full of perfect quality dragon fruits (earns about 40 000 Simoleons per day) and has 1,5 millions of cash and lives in a nice house even triplets are "easy" to deal with.

I love this challenge because I only use premade Sims as fathers. It's great to see how the children will turn out, what will they look like. I don't think it would be so interesting to use unknown random Sims.
If there are not enough premade male Sims to complete the challenge I will add other Maxis made Sims to the world.
If and when I ever get this challenge done I will probably start a new one with using TV- or movie characters and celebrities (that I download from the gallery) as fathers. It's going to be fun to see how their babies will look like. :mrgreen:

I've tried other challenges, but I've gotten bored of them or just given up for some other reason. I gave up on legacy challenge because I kept forgetting the rules, I decided to continue it as just a normal family game. I gave up black widow challenge because I felt too bad killing Sims.
Currently I'm doing three challenges, 100 baby challenge, not so berry challenge and 100 cats challenge.

My favourite is the only challenge I tend to play: The Build-A-City Challenge. It's varied with a lot of building and gameplay and maxing out skills to unlock career positions and community lots. It's brilliant, especially for rotational players <3

@MissyHissy that looks interesting. I may have to try it.

My all time fave challenge was the apocalypse, but I haven't done it yet in ts4. The only one I started in this game version was a legacy challenge but didn't get far as I suddenly got enthusiastic about doing something else lol.

This sounds awesome, I'm going to see if I can find a link to rules and give it a go. Thanks for mentioning it.

I enjoy Rags to Riches but I've pretty much ran out of new ways to do it so I'm a bit bored.
I'm 10 babies from finishing 100 Baby Challenge again. It's so dull but I have it down to an art and can complete it quickly. I use it to add new sims to my library for other saves. I added challenge to it by doing it in a 64 tile Tiny House.

The only legacy I've managed to stick to the end with was the History Challenge. The rule stipulating staying on one lot quickly kills my interest with the others. My family is generally stupid rich by gen 2 then it's just 8 more generations of the same old lot.

Looking forward to checking on this thread for challenges I haven't heard of yet.

What is the History Challenge? Because that sounds really fun to me and I would love to learn more.

My favorite challenge is the Decades challenge. It was what actually got me pulled into the game. I was bored with the game compared to the Sims 3. I love history and then when I found this challenge I dove right in. And because of it, I began enjoying the Sims 4. I have now finished ten generations and will be restarting the challenge in a new save. When I started it there was only one expansion pack, so there is a lot of stuff to make the challenge even better!

My fav challenge is the Upgrowth Challenge by Holliebb. I find it extremely fun and challenging.

A challenge I've been taking on lately is going from bad to good. It's difficult, but doable.
