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 Karaybaby52'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. 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. 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 must start Rags to Riches style. Optional: Your Sim may keep personal possessions, sell the rest and bulldoze the house. They may use simoleons from this sale and accumulated household funds to build or download a house from the Gallery. 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. 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. 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! However, please use discretion when using them. Using a mod to fulfill an aspiration is disallowed. Exception: May be used to correct bugs and/or glitches.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wait until today. I loved lurking on the what happened in your game today thread so I thought would create a new one here. So what's happened in your game today? Today in my game I was playing as a character I created, Lauren Lord. She's an young adult, who dreams of being an author and a mom. Currently she's working as a school teacher, but today she had no work, she stayed at home and played chess and tended to her plants (when it wasn't raining!). I also made this new Sim :) hope the pic works! Look forward to seeing what's happening in your games. X134KViews122likes16571CommentsSIMS 4 is a fallen disgrace
Imagine being a Sim player from the start, watching the franchise grow, spending ridiculous amounts of money on packs / add ons, and TIME. So much time has been spent building homes, creating worlds, making stories. Then imagine you are forced to play your game(s) online, through an app. Only EVERY SINGLE TIME you have availability to play you are forced to sit through an update. A very long update that cuts into all of your free time. We should be able to play our games OFFLINE and bypass ridiculous events or whatever other platforms they are trying to merge into the SIM world now. The lack of care the developers seem to have for their clients (especially those of us who started from day one) leaves a nasty taste in one's mouth. Making money seems to trump quality and care as they are quick to create some lackluster pack, driving up cost. It has been almost 6 months since I have been able to play and I used to be on every weekend. Building homes was my way to de-stress. Psh .. not anymore. And then the platform EA itself has the WORST support and overall gameplay.98Views2likes5CommentsEnchanted by Nature scomparso dai pacchetti posseduti - The Sims4
Salve, dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento di TheSims4 non risulta più in mio possesso l'expansion pack Enchanted by Nature, è presente solo lo Stuff Pack "Fairy Garden Digital Content". Ho effettuato l'acquisto il 7 novembre 2025 e ci ho giocato per giorni, da dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento è scomparso, come se non l'avessi mai acquistato. Se serve posso allegare la mail di ricevuta d'acquisto.Riscatto del codice non riuscito
Salve, ho riscattato un codice per un expansion pack, più precisamente "Lovestruck", ma al momento del download non me lo ha fatto fare. Pensando che fosse un bug ho riprovato a inserire il codice, ma mi dice che è già stato riscattato. Ora non so come fare. PS: sono da PCpost Facebook The Sims 4
Ciao di nuovo, ho notato un post su Facebook che dice che, una persona che ha lavorato con EA e Maxis, ha detto che The Sims 4 ha detto addio alle auto e band musicali perché non si usavano più, in particolare da The Sims 3 e che il motivo è che sono troppo costosi. E' vero o no? Perché io ho notato, giocandoci, che le auto in The Sims 4 sono solo oggetti da decorazione e che le band musicali si trovano non nel gioco base, bensì su espansioni, come "musica indie" e "vita universitaria"South African Pack Idea
Walk with me, fellow Simmers… what are your thoughts? I've been playing The Sims since the very first game, and one thing that stands out to me is the lack of African representation. It’s surprising, considering how rich and diverse African culture is. My friends and I believe the developers might be scared or reluctant to authentically recreate African and African American culture in the game. Here are some beautiful ideas I’d love to see brought to life in The Sims! World: Gown Town (Cape Town Inspired) Step into the heart of South Africa with The Sims 4: Safari Nights!
