Wild/fun things to do not pertaining to challenges or Mods

If you want an organized list, you might enjoy looking at Carl's Sims 4 Guide or SimsVIP game guides!

Start a club for something weird that you wouldn’t normally start a club for.

Can you start a bug collection? That would be fun.

Rummage through boxes in San Myshuno or go to the festivals.

Have a hippy type sim or commune where the priorities are eating vegetarian, yoga, protesting, etc.

@kalaksed - it's been so long since I saw the sea monster that I forgot all about her! :hushed: Thank you for those reminders! :cookie:

I really like having elections.

I create several sims and put most of them in the political career, others in random careers (criminal, business, gardener or maid for example) who are going to try to be elected and others in the journalist career.
I create clubs with the different political parties and choose a few promises they make to the people (pass a law that punishes tax evasion (=money cheats), renovate the park, give $2000 to every YA that graduate high school with an A, open a nursing home,...).
Then I have them organize charity events and press conferences where the journalists ask them questions and rich people give them money for their campaign. I also try to do televised debates.

Finally the people vote for their mayor/president (depending on the save I play) and the elected Sim receives a budget for the duration of their mandate.
I use this money to pay the coworkers of the mayor, renovate or build (I just count how much money I used and take it away with a cheat), give scholarships, host dinners, bribe policemen if the mayor does illegal things or keep a part of the money while wishing noone notices.

It's fun as you can create silly laws, have people protest, create bad Sims who pretend to be decent just to be elected, etc.

Sometimes I add a mafia too, it's nice to see how everything turns out. :)

a few potential ideas:

could try to make a single sim that works on achievements you'd normally not care about, like 'woohoo 50 townies', 'outlive (read 'kill') 5 spouses', 'have 10 of your sims die of unnatural causes' , 'befriend the grim reaper' as examples

oops. thats actually list of achievements i get done fastest *hides in the shadows*

Exellent thread, will add to my bookmarks! All ideas are welcome for me also. I've been lacking inspiration for playing for quite a while now. Some of the ideas already have made me almost exited again! So thank you guys a lot <3

OMG I did not expect all these comments, seriously thank you everyone for commenting, I sincerely appreciate it! I figured we needed a more updated thread because I've tried reading old ones that are either incredibly long, not updated, use Modds( not that I'm against them just scared and don't know how to initiate that) or they are challenges that I just don't care for. You guys are awesome thanks!

@kalaksed your post had me dying lmao.

@"Amandèle" I never tried the political career how do I get other sims who arent in that career to be elected or vote? Thats so new to me. Your English was fine I understood it no problem!
