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 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, etc. That being said, I can’t tell you how to play your game, so do what you want :)

Lifespan should be set to Normal, with Aging turned on. MCCC is recommended for story progression.

If you don’t own an expansion, skip that generation. Otherwise, play through the generations in whatever order you want. The order here is just a guideline.

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 should fit a certain color theme for each generation, and also a specific clothing style. It’s not 100% necessary, obviously, but it’ll will encourage you to try out things in CAS you might not have used before. And trying new things what this challenge is all about! :)

If you play this challenge and want to share it, tag it with #sims4exp so others 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 (Complete Level 3) 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

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

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

Cannot get a job until at least $2,000 on hand

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

Must steal 5 pieces of furniture worth at least $250 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

The Sims 4 Experiences Challenge Has Been Updated!

Hey guys! Long time no see. Just wanted to let y’all know that the legacy challenge has been updated! This is super delayed since I’ve clearly been inactive and not really playing the Sims lately or creating any content for it. People have asked about this though and I wanted to (finally) deliver lol. I do plan to keep this updated in the future as well, and hopefully in a more timely manner the next time a pack comes out!

Lillie Oliver

Lillie grew un a household full of doctors and scientists. During a Christmas back when she was 6 years old, she overheard a conversation about how the goverment was hiding the “cure” for decesases like cancer and AIDS and they´re not releasing them because the goverment gaining more profits out of sick peoples medical bills than selling those cures. She inmediatly began to investigate, getting more and more interesting about hiding secrets and secret places where the goverment was involved. One night, in 2013, she found the exact same location where area 51 was, and then her life time journey began…

[duchesty]

i was asking because i wanna know where you got the hair you used on your sim, Belinda

That’s the Alina Dreads by @birksche!

[duchesty]

BELINDA: There’s no other woman, Penelope. I don’t know how many times we have to go over this.

PENELOPE: you’re joking, right ma? you know there is... remember that one time he had to go “by himself” to that wedding while we were visiting gangie and gampi?... and that “work emergency” at 1am? oh oh and the emails we saw when we had to get his phone repaired-- you know he don’t have no secretary... god, and that one time his lyin’ ass went to--

BELINDA: ENOUGH PENELOPE CORNELIA PIZZAZZ! Watch your mouth! Those are coincidences that your wild imagination has twisted into something they’re not. Your father might not be the perfect man and he has his shortcomings just like the rest of us, but he’s your father and a member of this family and you will respect him!

PENELOPE: *under breath* perfect man my left asscheek... and i hate that fucking stupid ass name he gave me... so goddamn fake and bourgie.

BELINDA: What was that young lady?

PENELOPE: I SAID... yes ma’am.

Once you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to ten of your favorite followers 💖💖💖 in the meantime I'm gonna live here among all your asks ^^

eeee

1. i’m pretty chill, i think. it takes alot to phase me / make me angry / annoyed2. i love my family, friends, husband, and doggo. they’re all the best ever & more support than i could ever ask for in life3. (shit this is hard, i just really had 1&2 lmao) … my skintone is pretty cool? it’s like the perfect medium shade & i like that i can wear almost any color & it doesn’t clash. #theperksofbeinglatina4. i learn things pretty fast. when i take on a hobby, i usually go ALL IN and devour any content i can while i binge. like i taught myself programming in hs because i wanted to code for an mmo i was playing… i also taught myself photoshop in hs too because i loved looking at the stuff other people made… etc etc5. for the first time in my life, i don’t really have anything to stress/worry about and it feels super weird but also really good. like i can focus on the things i love doing instead of the things i have to get done

idk if some of those even counted, but that’s what i’ve got! thanks again for popping this in my inbox
