Hello!I was reading the lot trait descriptions in my game when I noticed something.Some lot traits (like Reduce and Recycle) (while others, usually positive like Homey and Gnomes, don't have it) have a new thing added to their descriptions:Available with .In the live stream and Game Changer videos, I have noticed those same things in lot challenge's description.That means...The following lot traits will become lot challenges (under spoilers):Spoiler (Highlight to read)Off-the-Grid (The Sims 4)Quake Zone (City Living)Cursed (City Living)Grody (City Living)Gremlins (City Living)Filthy (City Living)Spooky (City Living)Volcanic Activity (Island Living)Landfill Lot (Eco Lifestyle)Reduce and Recycle (Eco Lifestyle)Off-the-Grid (The Sims 4)Quake Zone (City Living)Cursed (City Living)Grody (City Living)Gremlins (City Living)Filthy (City Living)Spooky (City Living)Volcanic Activity (Island Living)Landfill Lot (Eco Lifestyle)Reduce and Recycle (Eco Lifestyle)Note. Under spoilers, I've put all the lot traits that I've noticed today to have "Available with that pack" thing in description.If you take a look at these lot traits' description, you'll see that "Available with that pack" thing under its description (unless it's a glitch from disabling packs).That was the discovery I had to share. Hopefully I didn't spread incorrect info (and that discovery won't be taken down).

I'm surprised Needs TLC from City Living isn't a lot challenge.

The Sims Community got the list of all the lot traits that will be converted into lot challenges (that includes Creepy Crawlies and those I've brought out).Here's the list: https://simscommunity.info/2021/07/14/the-sims-4-cottage-living-all-about-lot-challenges/

I will definitely give some of those lot challenges a try, even though I have rarely used some of them so far.

I hope they strengthen the effects of the lot challenges. I still haven't felt any quakes from quake zones.

Wondering which lot traits become challenges? I've made a discovery!

Thanks!

There were some I've suspected (Reduce and Recycle), some surprises (Landfill Lot), and a disappointment (where's Creepy Crawlies?).

It just means those traits came with those packs. They’re not going to be challenges lol

I noticed a mistake I've made in the first post and fixed it...

Yes, it might be so, but I'm made this post not just because it has that. It's because of two things:
1. In pre-release footages showing lot challenges, every lot challenge's description has "Available with ".
2. Not every lot trait has that added in (only many non-locked negative lot traits have that). What makes it more plausible is the fact that we know that Off-the-Grid lot trait will be converted into a lot challenge. Now if you look at all the base game lot traits description, the only trait that has "Available with The Sims 4" thing is Off-the-Grid.

While skepticism is welcome, The Sims Community has published the list of lot challenges. And all the lot traits that has the tag (plus Creepy Crawlies and Cottage Living ep challenges) are on that list.

You should be able to. On Gamechangers' videos on Bagley on Henford, even community lots have wild fox lot challenge.

Not to mention that Landfill lot trait can only be put on community lots.
