The Sims game is a life simulation game that portrays a virtual reality, but as you keep playing the game for a long time, it starts to become monotonous and boring. There are only so many new things you can do on your own. Therefore, The Sims has come up with game challenges to keep you on your toes.
It’d change the way you play the game and would shake things up a little to get you out of that rut. Each challenge has its own rules that you need to follow to complete it, and it’d be an excellent twist to the same old game. So this article will cover the best Sims 4 challenges that you must try right away.
Sims 4 Challenges
1. 100 Baby Challenge
The first challenge on our list is the 100 baby challenge because it’s one of the most fun challenges to try out. In this, as the name suggests, your female sim needs to give birth to 100 or close to 100 babies.
But they can’t have the baby of the same male sim twice. So every baby’s father needs to be different, and your pregnant sims can’t have a job or any source of income. So it might sound easy, but it isn’t.
2. Rags to Riches
Another exciting challenge is this one where your sim becomes a rich person after being poor their entire life. So you’d basically start the game with no simoleans, and your sim would have to earn money by working.
Your sims would have to fulfill goals, such as getting a good income job, building a luxurious house, starting a family with a working partner, and so on, to reach the stage where they are wealthy. It’s going to be tough, trust me.
3. Black Widow
This challenge is somewhat inclined toward the evil side because your sim would need to marry ten rich husbands, murder them, and then inherit all their wealth. So to complete this challenge, you’d have to be smart and skilled. You’d require specific traits and aspirations for this challenge, and you can’t use any cheats or work to earn a living.
4. The Apocalypse
For this challenge, experienced simmers would have the upper hand. So your sim would be in a post-apocalyptic world with an empty lot, no job and money, and you have to survive in these difficult conditions. Your sim would have to build a life again, and you can’t use any cheats.
5. The Asylum
Now the storyline in this challenge is quite interesting because your sim is locked in a mental hospital wrongfully since they are sane. So the challenge here is to convince the psychiatrist that you’re not mentally challenged and to do so, you’d have to take care of other patients. Not a lot of simmers are able to complete this challenge, so see if you can.
6. Random Legacy
Prepare yourselves to handle ten generations of random sims. You can’t choose their traits or aspirations, so you’re going to be surprised by everything that comes your way. But the charm of this challenge is that you’d not know what’ll happen next or what kind of sims you’ve to handle. The moment your 11th generation ages, the challenge will be complete.
7. The Decades
This challenge is somewhat similar to the previous one, wherein your sim would have to live through several decades with their family. But the challenge here is to keep changing the decade as the game progresses.
For instance, if you start the game in the 80s, as soon as your first child becomes a young adult, you must change the decade to the 90s, and so on. The fun part is that every decade has different music, fashion, etc., inspired by the real world.
8. The History
So this one’s quite similar to the decades challenge, but in this, your sim would have to go through significant time periods of the world. So your sim would begin in the prehistoric era and then keep doing this till they reach the modern era. You’ll be able to play different generations of your first two characters and create history.
9. Not So Berry
The Not So Berry challenge is quite silly and fun, wherein your sim would have to live through ten generations, but each generation of sims would have to live in a specific color.
The themes are mint, rose, yellow, green, etc. Everything must be in these color themes except your sim’s skin tone. You can use cheats, but only the ones that can help you with the colors.
10. Zodiac
This is one of my favorite challenges where your sim can live through 12 generations, and in each one, they are going to be a different zodiac sign. You’ll start with Aquarius and end with Capricorn, and follow these in the correct order. The traits of your sims would also change according to their zodiac signs, so watch out for that. The challenge is complete once you go through all the signs.
11. Runaway Teen
As the name suggests, this challenge is for all the teen sims who, like a lot of real-life teenagers, have wanted to run away from their homes. Your teen sim would leave their parents at home to earn a living for themselves. Your sim would have to struggle, sleep on the streets, and so on.
12. Career Legacy
A similar concept to the Rags and Riches challenge; in this, your sim would have to earn a place in the top stature. Your sim would start with an empty lot, and they can either have 0 simoleans or 1800 simoleans if you want a more leisurely start. Your sim can have random babies, and you can customize your sim’s appearance as well.
13. Bloodline
Another exciting storyline where your sim would be the king or queen, and they’d have to be very protective about their crown and not allow anyone to replace them. In fact, their child sims would also mysteriously disappear before taking over the crown.
14. The Island
Imagine two sims on a deserted island, and they have to survive in any possible way. Sounds interesting, right? That is what this challenge is all about, surviving in the worst conditions. By the end of this challenge, your sim would acquire level 4 in gardening, fitness, and fishing.
15. Vampire Legacy
Your sim’s task in this challenge would be to start a family and turn as many people into vampires as possible. There’s no limit to the number of sims you turn or the way you do so.
16. Live the Farm Life
In this Cottage Living challenge, you’d have to live off the land, survive extreme situations, and use the available resources to do so. Even though this challenge would be difficult, managing your farm and working to earn money, it’ll be rewarding at the same time.
17. Globetrotter
The gist of this challenge is that your sims would have to travel every time the season changes. So you’d need to keep your characters as happy and satisfied as possible. Before the season changes, your sim must complete all their aspirations, and the sims would move eight times and explore all the neighborhoods once.
18. Happy Sim
This challenge might look easy, but it certainly isn’t because you must keep your sim happy at all times. You can’t let them be sad at any point in their lifetime. Your sim should not receive even a single negative moodlet, but there might be situations that you can’t control, so this challenge would definitely be a tough task.
19. ISBI Challenge
Now this challenge is quite unique because, in this, your sim would go through 10 generations, but you’d have the power only to control one sim. Imagine the other sims doing whatever they want to, creating a ruckus, and you can’t do anything about it; it’d drive you crazy, so beware.
20. Homeless
This is not exactly a rags-to-riches story because your sim would have no money and would have to be dependent on public facilities. Your sims can’t have a job as well, and their only source of earning money would be through their hobbies, such as fishing, gardening, etc., and once they build a house through the money they earned, the challenge would end.
21. Big Brother
You might have guessed it already; this challenge is inspired by the reality show Big Brother. In the Sims version, you’d put random sims in a house, and every week, you’d have to evict one of them based on their friendships.
The one with the least friends in the house would get eliminated. To add even more spice to this challenge, add sims with clashing personality traits so that the game becomes much more entertaining. Also, you can go for a massive mansion for this challenge to keep up with the Big Brother set.
22. Bachelor/Bachelorette
What if I told you that your sim can now have five love interests in the same house? That is what this challenge is all about. Your male or female sim would have five potential partners, and they’d all live under the same roof. Every week you’ll remove one sim from the house who has the lowest romance score with the main sim. Isn’t that fun?
23. Masterchef
In my opinion, the Sims is obsessed with reality shows because this challenge is also based on the show Masterchef, where five sims would compete against each other in front of 3 judges who must have level 5 in cooking.
The competing sims would start with no cooking skills and can only cook during the competition days. The sims can grow herbs for their dishes and research to increase their cooking skills on other days. Every week, one sim would be eliminated with the poorest quality dish.
24. The Asylum
This challenge involves five insane sims staying in an asylum. Apart from the insane trait, you can randomly assign any other characteristics to these sims except the Self Assured trait.
You can choose any one sim from these five and help them achieve their aspiration, which would allow them to leave the asylum. Once the asylum’s empty, the challenge is complete.
25. Dumpster
The name of this challenge is the perfect way to describe it because, in this, your sims would live in a dumpster that you bought, they’d have no income and would survive by using everything that the dumpster provides, including food and furniture. Your sim can’t use the community lots, such as gyms, for bathing or anything.
26. Alien Adoption
If you want a slightly unusual and intriguing challenge, then try this one where an alien ship has crashed with 100 babies and a dead mother. So your sim can now adopt one of the alien babies and raise them. But you must also observe and study them because they are extraterrestrial species, after all.
27. Flipping House
Get ready for your sim to become a real estate agent in this challenge because your sim’s task would be to rebuild/redecorate the houses and then sell them to earn a profit. Your sim would have 20,000 simoleans to start with, and as the game progresses, you’d have to increase the budget accordingly.
28. Free Will Experience
This is a completely crazy challenge because, in this, you’d create random sims with random traits and also a pet with no specific traits or anything. Now you’ll leave them in the house to do anything they want, and you’d have no control over them whatsoever. If they do positive things, then you’d earn points, but if they engage in harmful activities, then you’ll lose points.
29. Astrology Legacy
Somewhat similar to the Zodiac challenge, in this, your sims would have to go through as many generations as the planets, and each generation of sims would be assigned to a different planet every time. This planet would rule them, their behavior, etc. Their traits, aspirations, and so on would change accordingly.
30. Alphabet Legacy
So this one’s quite a fun challenge where you need to create a sim whose name starts with the letter A, and the challenge would go on till the last child sim’s name begins with the letter Z. So this way, you’ll go through several generations of sims by the time the challenge ends.
31. The Wonder Child
If you’re into the whole spy storyline, then this is the perfect challenge for you. Your sim would be chosen by the government for a secret mission for 22,000 simoleans, where they’d be assigned a mate with whom they’ll give birth to a wonder child. Your primary task would be to raise this child and much more.
32. Whimsy Stories Legacy
In this legacy challenge, your sim would play ten generations, and each generation would have a different storyline so that the gameplay won’t feel repetitive. The stories would be new and unique every time, so you’ll have a gala time playing with these new whimsy generations.
33. The Celebacy
With this challenge, you’ll have to play five generations of sims, and each one must be successful and famous for a different career, such as singing, dancing, etc. The challenge would end as soon as the 5th generation became popular.
34. The Seven Deadly Sins
This is quite an exciting challenge because your sims would inherit the characteristics of each deadly sin, greed, gluttony, wrath, sloth, and so on. For instance, the third-generation sims would go inherit the lust trait, and they’d need the Serial Romantic aspiration as well. So this generation of sims would be a real heartbreaker.
35. Big Sister
Since teens can now live without adults in the household, this challenge is possible to do. So you’d place a teenager in the household along with a child sim of any gender, and the big sister has to raise the child. The teen must have the Big Happy Family Aspiration, and this storyline is perfect for sister bonding and other beautiful scenarios.
36. Disney Princess
This challenge is all about you living your fairytale fantasy through your sims. It’s a type of legacy challenge where each generation would follow a different storyline based on the Disney princess they are.
It’s an exciting challenge because everyone’s familiar with the storyline, but you’ve to play according to the game’s rules, which allows you to be as creative as you want.
37. Off the Grid
For this challenge, your sim would have to live away from city life and its luxuries, with no water or electricity. Your sim would have to survive on its own, and it’s going to be a challenging task to do so, but that’s why it’s a challenge, right?
38. The Dreamhouse
This is quite a heartwarming challenge because, in this, you’ll download or build a dream house and place it in the neighborhood where your sim lives. Now your sim is going to initially dream about living in this house. They’ll have to work and make their way to the top to buy their dream house.
39. The Townie Life
While playing this challenge, you won’t feel any pressure because it’s quite an easygoing one. All your sim has to do is visit their neighbors and get to know everything about them, their likes, dislikes, ambitions, and so on. There’s nothing more to do in it except listen.
40. Mermaid Legacy
Another legacy challenge is where your human sim turns into a mermaid, and then this game would go on for ten generations till the time your sim’s entire family tree isn’t full of mermaids. Every generation’s goals, traits, and so on would be entirely different.
41. The Collector’s Museum
This is also an easy challenge, where your sim needs to collect different items in the game and place them in their home. Soon their house would turn into a museum with these collected items, and you can invite other sims to come and take a look at them.
Conclusion
I’m confident that you’re already in a dilemma as to which challenge to start with because they are all exciting and unique in their own way. So I’d suggest you pick one and then keep ticking them off as you complete them.
This way, you can try all the Sims 4 challenges, and your game will never feel monotonous or dull. There’d always be something new to look forward to.
