The Sims 4 Experiences Challenge

Are you sick of doing the same old thing every time you play the Sims? Do you find yourself falling into the same routine every time you play and inevitably getting bored of the gameplay? Are there expansion/game packs that you’ve bought, but never really played much because you struggled figuring out how to incorporate it into your gameplay? Or maybe, you’re like me, and just get super overwhelmed with all the options for things to do in the Sims, so you just end up doing what’s familiar and comfortable?

Say hello to the Sims 4 Experiences Challenge! I created this challenge specifically to get the most use out of every expansion/game pack in the Sims 4 (to date). I’ll keep adding on to it whenever a new one comes out. This Legacy-type challenge will focus on one major expansion, or several small ones, each generation and require your Sims to complete a variety of requirements to live out their lives very differently from their predecessors. The goal is that it will help you get out of your comfort zone and get you to experience the most out of your gameplay and what the Sims 4 has to offer. So, without further ado…

Rules:

Try to avoid using any cheats/mods that grant money or items, cheat needs, free upgrades/repairs, free Reward Store purchases, no bills, etc. Basically, if your Sim is supposed to work for it in game, they should do it the legit way. Cheats/Mods that just make the game function better or fix bugs/glitches are fine.

If your Sims move to a new lot/buy a new house, they must pay for that lot/house. If they can’t afford the house, cheat it, then remove all their money except $2500.

Lifespan must be set to Normal, Aging must be turned on (with the exception of storytelling stuff, as needed). MCCC is allowed (recommended honestly for story progression).

If you don’t own an expansion, skip that generation. Otherwise, play through the generations in order.

For every generation, you must complete the Aspiration and reach the top of the Career track, unless otherwise stated.

Each generation must have at least one child to be the heir for the next gen. You can choose any of your Sim’s children as the heir. The other children kinda sorta don’t matter (except in the Parenthood generation). Do whatever you want with them. Same goes with spouses.

Like the infamous Not So Berry Challenge (which loosely inspired me to make this challenge), your Sims have to fit a certain color theme for each generation, and also a specific clothing style. It’s not 100% necessary, obviously, but it provides interesting goals in CAS and will encourage you to try out items you might not have used before. Plus, it adds a nice touch of cohesiveness to their story. :)

If you play this challenge and want to share it, tag it with #sims4exp so we can see!

Generation One : Base Game : Yellow

You couldn’t wait to move out and get as far away from your podunk little hometown as soon as possible. Right when you turned 18, you worked up the nerve and finally did it, packing your things and taking the first step toward independence and fulfilling your dream of becoming a rock star! Unfortunately, you definitely burned some bridges along the way, and now…  your family won’t even speak to you. At least you worked your butt off and managed to save up a nice chunk of change to make the move possible, but after buying your first bit of property… there’s not much left. Now you’re in a new, unfamiliar world with no money, no family, no friends, and no idea what to do next. Can you make it on your own and build yourself up from nothing, or will you get desperate and turn to a life of crime to make ends meet?

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy Career: Criminal (Boss Branch) Traits: Materialistic, Kleptomaniac, Creative Appearance: Homeless/Basic. Started from the  bottom, now you’re here. You literally moved out from home, barely legal,  with nothing but a couple of bucks in your pocket and a head full of dreams.  Decent clothes aren’t really in the budget.

Requirements:

Buy an empty lot, set money to $2,000, use as much of it as possible to get the basics (choose wisely!), then set money down to $0

Cannot get a job until at least $2,500 on hand

Max the Mischief, Handiness, and [any Instrument] skills

Earn >$500 from song royalties as you try to make your way

Eventually give up your dreams of stardom & join the Criminal career

Must steal 5 pieces of furniture worth at least $500 each to prove yourself to the mob boss

Have 3 Enemies and an “It’s Very Complicated” relationship

Have an “Enemies with Benefits” relationship, and eventually marry them

Cannot move-in partner/get married until at least Level 5 in career track

Spring into Summer & Fall into Winter

A Sims 4 seasons challenge with very bad play on words. You get it? Spring, summer, fall & winter? Ahhh, never mind…

I am not aware of any challenges for seasons yet, so I decided to give it a try. The challenge is a 4 generations legacy challenge, so short but not short, if you get what I mean 😉

The challenge wishes to explore the expansion pack, because there is a lot of new stuff! It also forces you to create some new holidays you can spend with your loved ones.

If you decide to give this a go, please use the hashtag #springtowinter.

There are some basic rules for the challenge:

You can start off generation 1 with §50.000 by using the money cheat (type money 50000 in the command), but no more cheats after this.

Lifespan must be set to normal, and season length must be set to 14 days (the normal is 7, so remember changing this)

A sim may only use an anti-aging potion ONE TIME in their lifetime, this includes the Potion of Youth and milking the cow plant.

If you don’t own a pack that dictates a trait, aspiration, career or goal, replace it with something you think will fit.

You do NOT have to complete the goals within a season - the generation represents a season, so you play in their lifetime.

When a child becomes a teen, the next generation begins.

Have fun. Or else

💐 Generation 1 - Spring:
