Not So Berry is a popular challenge among seasoned simmers. It's fun and aesthetically pleasing. It's a color-themed legacy challenge with 10 generations. Each one has very specific requirements in colors, traits, professions, lifestyles, and the number of children. Requirements such as getting a divorce, not making any friends, or having your sim marry their high school sweetheart spice up the gameplay. The first generation is Mint, so your sim needs to have minty hair, clothes, home, and specific traits, which are mostly green. In order to move on to the next generation, you'll have to max out the Science Career and Mischief skill and complete the Elements collection. The fun thing about Not So Berry is that it actively pushes you to try out features in the game that aren't as popular. Check out the full rules here.

  1. Rags to Riches

Another classic TS4 challenge that will put your creativity to the test. Start with a Sim with no money or resources and exactly 0 simoleons. Without a proper home, they have to find ways to earn money to buy food and use public showers and toilets. Manage the finances carefully and avoid overspending. The ultimate goal is to build wealth and success for your Sim. This could include achieving high career levels, owning a successful business, or having a lavish home.

  1. 100 Babies Challenge

Even non-simmers seem to know about this challenge. It's pretty straightforward - raise 100 children from 100 different fathers. However, this isn't an easy task in The Sims 4. If you're not done with the challenge by the time the mother becomes an elder, her oldest daughter can take over.

The only way your sim can make money is by marrying. Woohoo, marry, kill, repeat. Marry and kill your way to the top! The challenge is over when you have 10 dead spouses or a huge amount of simoleons.

Runaway Teen is like rags to riches but a little bit more challenging because you're playing as a teen. You can't go to school or get a job until you build a basic home - bedroom, kitchen, bathroom. You'll have to get creative to get money. You also can't allow your sim to interact with adults.

  1. (Ultimate) Decades Challenge

The Decades Challenge is a little bit harder to manage but it's really fun if you like historical gameplay. Every generation represents a specific decade (10 years) in time. Some players start with the 1890s, others with the Medieval Ages. You'll have to keep everything historically accurate which might be quite challenging - keep in mind when electricity was invented, contraceptives, and when women were first able to get a job. Check out the rules.
