One Month One World One Year Challenge 2026
Hello and welcome. :) This challenge was started by Karababy52 (see more here) and I would like to continue it on for another year if I can. Hopefully more people can join in. The more the merrier! The premise of this challenge is pretty simple. The goal is to post one in-game screenshot once a day during the 2026 year. So, kind of like a 365 project for your sims. You will start out with a teen sim and pick your starting world. I'll share a list of suggestions, but really you can pick whatever you want. Your sim will be a teen for 3 real world months, then age-up to Young Adult in April. They will spend 4 months as a Young Adult, then age-up to Adult in July. They will spend 4 more months as an Adult, then age-up to Elder in December. Each month your sim will move to a new world to explore. I've taken all the rules and guidelines here and copied them over from Karababy52's 2023 post and edited them slightly. Rules/Guidelines: One screenshot post per real life day in this thread with a short text summary. One world per real life month - See monthly schedule of worlds in spoiler below. Optional: May change schedule of worlds to reflect your preferences. Your challenge Sim MUST be a teen to officially begin this challenge and post in the thread. Exception: If you are starting the challenge late, you may begin in the current month at whatever age the challenge is at, or you may start as a teen to quickly finish your aspiration and school, then fast forward to the current age. (Example - if you start in April you may hurry through the teen stage and age up to YA, or just start as YA). After three real life months have passed, your Sim will age up to young adult for four months, adult for four months and finally, age up to an elder for December. Timeline posted in spoiler below. Optional: How long your Sim stays in each life stage, teen-elder, is at your own discretion. However, they are required to be at minimum a young adult to attend Uni in Britechester. *Note: If you own the High School Years EP, your Sims may be offered early graduation. If they take the offer, your teen is allowed to apply, enroll, and attend university or join full-time adult careers. Begin Rags to Riches style on an empty lot with 0 simoleons. Optional: Use the 20,000 starting simoleons to buy a starter home and furnish it how you want. Aging off. Optional: May use long lifespan. All unplayed residential worlds are off limits for any kind of travel. Exception: Newcrest may be designated a 'neutral' world to place venues for your Sim to use regardless of their current world residence. Optional: Newcrest may be used to replace a pack you don't own instead. Optional: Your sim may travel to other worlds not used in the challenge if they get an invitation. Sims may take a vacation to any of the designated vacations worlds. Rental lots in unplayed residential worlds are off limits. Aspirations released with a world must be fulfilled first. May choose a base game or other pack aspiration not in the challenge to complete afterward. Optional: Only one aspiration released with a world must be completed before choosing base game or other pack aspirations. Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest and Magnolia Promenade may be used in substitution for worlds listed in the challenge for packs you may not own. In that event, choose one or two base game or other packs aspirations not in the challenge to complete per world. Your Sim may marry and/or have children. Aging up children is at your own discretion. High School attendance is not required. May use cheats to fulfill daily/promotional task requirements. *Exception: Applicable only if you do not own the High School Years EP or if you do own it, but have elected not to have your Sim live in Copperdale and do the aspirations associated with the EP in your challenge. The beginning of each new month/world starts Rags to Riches style. Optional: Your Sim may keep everything they have accumulated and use their funds to buy or build a new house, or even move their house to their new world. If your challenge Sim dies, it's game over. Optional: You may bring them back to life and continue or use another existing Sim in the household to complete the challenge. Or, keep playing as a ghost! Occult states and Celebrity statuses must be removed when progressing to the next month/world. Optional: May keep acquired lifestates/statuses. *Note: Vampires can't get a suntan, which is a Beach Life aspiration task. If a new world is released with a new pack at any time during 2026, you have the option to swap the new world with another prior released world. Give yourself a break and don't stress over days missed due to internet outages, vacations/holidays, real life work/responsibilities or sickness. Extra story screenshots may be posted, but try to keep it to around 5-10 max. There's no limit for screenshots shared on your blog. May use satisfaction points to buy rewards. Exception: Money tree seeds are disallowed. Lottery tickets are disallowed for purchase. Beginning season, length of days and moon phases are your choice. May turn off or cheat away/change all Eco Lifestyle features applied to worlds. Exception: Must be turned on while living in Evergreen Harbor. May participate in all default Holidays, modify, delete and/or add your own. May include a link to your preferred Blog site with additional story text/screenshots, in addition to your Daily Post Pic/Text Summary. Mod friendly challenge!

Can't wait to play with you :)
Missions, Quests and Own the Lot
I just started playing this season. I've completed all the quests and objectives. The crew bounties I'm stuck on own the lot challenges, now it feels like there's nothing to do. The objectives that I did get don't even get me to level 10 in any of the towns so I'm weirdly stuck in that too. Most people probably hit level 10 so they aren't going to help me with own the lot because redoing challenges isn't that rewarding. So the only thing I have left to do is crew bounties that I'm stuck trying to do own the lot challenges. I feel like own the lot challenges should have a queue system like spot battles, and maybe make redoing objectives more rewarding so that older players help newer players. Or give extra time for single player.
Looking for friends
hello everyone! I'm writing this hoping to find people who still plays ts3! i play The Sims since I was a kid and most of the time it was ts3 but I've never had any friends on my profile, so I decided to check on here if anyone is interested in becoming friends in the game :) thank youuu
Perfect Genetics Challenge
My new video series - Perfect Genetics Challenge - is now available for viewing on YouTube. https://youtu.be/iQUhw5SbutM This video is a little over 16 minutes. It is an introduction to my founder, Olivia. We first meet her in Create a Household. We see her first home and job. She meets her man and they start getting to know each other. This challenge ought to be colourful. Not only does Olivia have blue, purple, pink and yellow hair but she has a very pale blue skin and pinkish purple eyes. The challenge requires her to produce an heir, male or female, who has the exact same hair and eye colour. Once the heir is confirmed, the mother will concentrate on living her life until the heir is old enough to take on the challenge. There is no upper limit to the number of babies she might have to produce before the heir arrives. Consequently I've set the age spans to be reasonably long but will use cake to age the family up as required. I plan to stop the mother from having more babies once it is confirmed the heir has been born. The heir will age up from toddler to child when they have done all of their toddler skills. And from Child to Teen after completing all of the child skills and getting onto the honour roll at school. The teen will age up to young adult after they have been to a prom and have learned fishing and cooking skills and read all of the fishing and recipe books. This means they'll need to get to level 7 in fishing and level 10 in cooking before I will let them age up to Young Adult. They may learn other skills along the way and need to be at least A Grade students. If they haven't learned the required skills and done the required reading within 105 days they'll age up automatically. When the heir is about the age up to Young Adult, hopefully the day before the teen is ready to age up to young adult, I'll age the parents up to Adult. The Adult life stage is also quite long just in case the mother automatically ages up to adult before she has produced the heir. The Elder life stage is also long. Babies will need grandparents around for a while. I may reduce the length of the Elder life stage at some point if the elders are accumulating. Moonlit Falls is full of supernaturals and I won't worry about when that population ages up. I'll be using EA Story Progression so if the town population ages up very slowly maybe there will still be sims around town by the time my founder's descendants start moving into the general townie population. All babies born to the founder and her heirs will have randomised traits with the one exception that each heir must have the dislikes children trait. There are no restrictions on how the main household earns their income. They can go out collecting, or gardening or whatever they choose. I will be getting them the no bills ever lifetime reward asap because I have a bad habit of forgetting about the bills and have difficulty working out what the repo man has taken. Due to the lack of restrictions on how they earn/come by their money the game will have many and varied activities in it throughout this challenge. One of the first wishes my founder got is to travel to Egypt to buy a recipe book. I do plan to grant that wish soon. Perhaps she can go there on her honeymoon. She has already met her man. I made him specially for her. She's blue with purple and blue hair, he's green with green hair and eyes. But their skin colouring is subtle. I think that about covers it. I hope you decide to watch. I'm keeping the length of these episodes to around 10 to 15 minutes each. Please consider subscribing if you are going to watch the videos as that way you'll know whenever a new episode is posted.
Timeline Challenge | A 30-year love struggle for Tybalt Capp!
It all starts in a neighborhood filled with drama and resentment. The new neighbor has two children: a quiet boy and a rather snobbish girl. No one would ever have imagined that Tybalt Capp, the future heir of the most important family in the neighborhood, would fall for her, that she not only wins hearts... but breaks them! Or that he would end up facing his bitterest rival Mercutio Monty, losing the love duel and watching her leave Veronaville for college, far, far away. We could say that Tybalt have been waiting for her for 15 long years since that day. Everything seemed perfect and with a happy ending, until the black sheep of the family Virgilio Capp came and turned everything upside down. Or rather, started the love drama all over again. Did she choose the wealthy and powerful Grand Duke... or the outcasted Lord with a thousand red flags and a magnetic charm? - Gloria
The Welly Challenge - Children Of The Well
Hey Everyone! Ive been playing this challenge I made for a while now and Im having a lot of fun so I thought Id share! Enjoy! Forgot to add - you must have a baby every Friday indefinitely, raise the cap on your household to accommodate more babies if needed. ❤️ THE WELLY CHALLENGE 💀 A Sims 4 survival challenge where the Wishing Well decides who lives, who gets sacrificed, and whether your island ever becomes remotely civilized. LOT SETTINGS You may begin on any lot, but the deserted island in Sulani is recommended as the best starting location. You must begin with: • Off-the-Grid enabled • Simple Living enabled • Private Dwelling enabled TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS Your Sims may not leave the lot for any reason except fishing. When fishing: • Travel directly to the fishing hole • Do not collect anything along the way • Do not visit other lots or make any stops • Return directly to the home lot after fishing STARTING OBJECTS • Wishing Well • Chicken coop • 1 hen chick • 1 rooster chick • Pee bush • Luau pit / BBQ • Woodworking table No beds. No fridge. No sink. No comfort. Figure it out. 😂 EVERY FRIDAY Immaculately conceive a baby using MCCC, immediately set the pregnancy phase to In Labor, and have the baby right away. Once the first baby reaches Young Adult, the Friday ritual begins. Every YA, Adult, and Elder must wish at Welly for Youthful Vigor. If a Sim turns into a ghost: • They must immediately leave the island • Welly is satisfied • Everyone else is spared and does NOT have to wish that Friday If nobody is sacrificed, the ritual continues as normal the next Friday. GAME OVER • You run out of YA/Adult/Elder Sims • Any baby is taken away by Social Services THE STOOL ECONOMY Bar stools are currency. 5 stools = • 1 furniture object • OR 1 room up to 6 tiles • OR 1 chicken • OR 2 livestock upgrade parts • OR 5 kitchen upgrade parts • OR 3 electronic upgrade parts All furniture must begin at the lowest available tier. To upgrade/replace furniture: • 5 stools if you keep the original item • 4 stools if you sell/trade in the original item PROGRESSION Upgrades unlock after: 2 sacrifices + 40 stools Windmills: 25 stools each Dew collectors: 25 stools each Remove Off-the-Grid after: 5 sacrifices + 100 stools NO CHEESING WELLY No artificial buffs of any kind. That means: • No satisfaction-point buffs • No crystals • No emotional auras • No mastery perks • No other systems that artificially make survival easier Welly demands suffering, stools, babies, and the occasional adult sacrifice. Good luck. 💀Legacy challenge stories
Hiya, I came here to comment on how I'm quite new to this site and overall to Sims game, but so far it's seemed a lot of fun. I saw some stories from around 2010 about a legacy challenge and have started my own. I've practiced my own writing for years and have made a blogsite about such a story. My story idea is about a siren becoming half-human to study if humans and sirens could ever share the seas together in harmony, and her heirs having to have the same siren genes for ten generations until any heirs can ever fully return back to the sea. I'm inviting people to check it our if at all interested! My blogsite is LC Satusi - The story of the siren. Wishing lovely reading moments!lost all my stuff??
