Who Has Done Rags To Riches?

I've done it several times in Sims 2 and 3 - but never did it in Sims 4. I have played the Teen Runaway Challenge several times in Sims 4 though as it is easy to have a teen live on her/or his own in Sims 4 without killing a Sim. I try to not ever kill Sims so it works best in Sims 4 for me.

I have no good reason not to play Rags to Riches in the Sims 4 - I just haven't had the urge to do it. I think people saying it was too easy in Sims 4 probably threw me off and made it less appealing to me. Lol. I like the challenges to be more challenging I guess.

One of the biggest issues with the Rags to Riches challenge is that you can sell to ‘invisible’ Sims. It makes making money quite frivolous when money is so easy to come by because everything turns a profit and can be done instantly.

If you want a proper challenge, try only selling to other Sims that you can see. The flea market, etc.

Yeah, I agree. Selling only on flea market or through City Living/Selvadorada table is fun. And challenging, because first of all you should earn money to buy that table :) but even that way is quite easy after you have a table and a tent to sleep in.

I did rags to riches but didn't stay with it long. To be honest, making money in the Sims 4 is a bit on the easy side and it didn't take long (even hampering myself by not allowing my sims to paint til they were already rich) to make the money necessary to 'win' the challenge. I tried to draw it out by cheating money away from my sims for things that I called, "Unfair gains" even though they weren't really unfair gains. (they were fully within the rules of the game and the challenge) It still didn't seem to take enough time before they were rich beyond belief. In the case of that Rags to Riches character though, she eventually became my Super Sim challenger then moved on to by my legacy founder for one of my legacy saves. I just couldn't bear getting rid of her/letting her dye off without continuing her challenge story.

I've done a fair few of the rags to riches ones, it's pretty easy straight off as you just go around collecting frogs, flowers, dig for treasure, etc.

Also visiting museums, libraries to do painting, writing novels to get money that was and build up skills..

Visiting gyms for toilets and showering and socialising (along with library and museum), keeps you sane..

however i've started trying to just concentrate on making money using just 1 set of skills each character i play, so 1 does painting, 1 does writing, 1 does baking, etc out of all of them i've found that the painting is the easiest to make money.

I havnt done one yet but it is on my list of challenges i want to do. First i have to complete my legacy challenge i am doing then ill be doing a rags to riches. Money is fairly easy to make as i found out recently in the legacy challenge. Strawberry Plants are easy to maintain and make $90 each per day so i just have like 10 of those and 1000 a day. simple.

In the spirit of Rags and Riches, I have built a rather large Homeless Centre, which took 3 hours to build and furnish! I have uploaded it onto the Gallery, if anyone wants to have a look; Metzfits1984. I think it looks pretty decent considering I've tried to keep the furniture as cheap as possible, apart from the kitchen, that has the chef's work stations, along with decent dishwashers and appliances.

I love to but but when Vlad love being a vampire troll plus season but in ts3 was easy and was fun.

I would make the suggestion to either turn off the weather affect on your sims for this challenge or make your seasons the longest version (I think its 28 days?) otherwise its really hard not to have your poor sims freeze to death or die of lightning or heat stroke with the seasons and being all, homeless for a while.

After all, the Rags to Riches challenge was around long before Seasons so its not really cheating not to use it for the purposes of this challenge I feel.

@duhboy2u2 can sims freeze to death in warm clothes? Mine never did. And they feel completely okay in tents, somehow even better than in houses with no thermostats lol.
Or you can just travel to another world, where weather is fine at the moment. :)

I always set my seasons to 28 days, otherwise the holidays are too close together and you have a chance of buying shelter for your Sim, like a tent, which I managed in 3 Sim days; it was the cheapest one though, but it worked. My Sim, Cherry, always ended up stinking until I bought the cheapest shower, then after she ended up embarrassed I knew I had to either buy a toilet or that bush, but a toilet was cheaper. After 2 Sim weeks, she basically has a rubbish-looking shack lol with a large garden of fruit, veg, and flowers. She makes money selling flower arrangements and surplus fruit and veg.
