Twisted Tarot Legacy Challenge

[sims-4-challenges-ideas]

There’s nothing Short n’ Sweet about this challenge 🤭 Although I did try to make it shorter by pairing two songs together. Most of the songs from the album are sad, which led to some very romantically tragic (but dare I say realistic) generations. If you get bored of the "perfect household", this challenge is for you!

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL WRITTEN RULES 💋

(I recommend you to read the written rules, as it was a struggle to write the goals in these tiny little rectangles. There's also a base game version available below ⬇️)

Keep Reading for the Base Game Version ⬇️

The written base game rules are in the same link I provided above ⬆️

Let me know if you notice any mistakes in these graphics I made. I kept changing the written rules and I might've forgotten to change something in these. I've checked, but I've honestly been so tired lately that I keep on forgetting things and making mistakes 😩

 Hot Tea Legacy 🍵

by lxdice (me)

This is a legacy challenge I created to add some more drama and spice to my game while enjoying the many packs and features it has to offer (that I often forget exist)! Feel free to use mods/cc in your games or play completely vanilla. It’s all up to you! In some generations, I will add some mod suggestions that I think would add to the overall experience of that gen, but it is NOT a must! Feel free to alter certain goals to suit your play style as I want you guys to enjoy the legacy and have fun! I hope you guys are ready for some drama & hot tea! 🍵

This legacy is pack heavy (I couldn’t help myself 😭) so feel free to swap out traits, aspirations and goals to something you can do with the packs you own. Some generations are more wholesome than others. Some are filled with drama! If you want to check things off your list, make a copy of the rules to keep for yourself, then you should be able to edit it! Oh and I want to see your sims!! So tag me on tumblr, youtube or twitter if you decide to play this legacy @lxdice. I want to see all the stories you guys tell! Or use the #hottealegacy ❤️

1-2-3-4 Legacy Challenge

The 1-2-3-4 Legacy Challenge puts a twist on the traditional Legacy Challenge by spanning across all four mainline Sims games:

One generation in TS1

Two generations in TS2

Three generations in TS3

Four generations in TS4

This adds up to 10 generations in total. The goal is to explore the evolution of The Sims gameplay over the years! There is more information below, but feel free to run with the idea — customize it to suit your playstyle and tell the story you want to tell!

If you play this challenge, share your progress with the hashtag #1234Legacy — we’d love to follow along!

HOW TO PLAY / SUGGESTIONS:

Play One Generation in TS1: Start with a single Sim, find a partner through gameplay, and have at least one child. If you have more than one, designate one Sim to be the "heir."

Moving to TS2: When you’ve chosen an heir, "move" your family to TS2. Recreate your Sims in CAS, matching their physical features, clothing, and personalities as closely as possible. Adjust your starting funds to match your TS1 net worth, build or buy your home, and continue the legacy! Think about your family's story as they transition from game to game. Consider writing out how and why your Sims "moved." Were they Simply looking for a change of scenery, or did they "time travel" to another world?

Moving to TS3: When your Gen 4 heir is a child (or teen), it's time to move on to TS3! Think about which Sims you would like to take with you, and why. Would they all move together or would some stay behind? Once you’ve decided, recreate your family, and adjust your starting funds.

Moving to TS4: Finally, when your Gen 7 Sim is ready, it's time to transition to TS4. Decide which Sims you will move, recreate your family, and adjust your family funds one last time. It's time for the final act of your Sims' legacy.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE IDEAS:

The Sims 1: There are no money cheats, but you can use terrain manipulation to reduce your funds if you want a more difficult starting scenario. If you're feeling brave, try to reach the top level of your Sims' career — that's not easy in TS1.

The Sims 2: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and/or complete their lifelong aspirations. Lifelong aspirations are like a box of chocolates — you never know what you're gonna get. This adds an element of randomness that can make your story even more interesting.

The Sims 3: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and/or fulfill their lifetime wishes. Personally, I enjoy randomizing my Sims’ traits rather than selecting them manually. However, as always, you should do what is the most fun for you.

The Sims 4: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and complete all milestones for at least one aspiration per Sim.

If you're looking for more structure / optional challenges, simslegacychallenge.com is a fantastic resource. Pick and choose whichever rules you like best.

General Advice:  To keep it fresh, consider choosing a different career/aspiration/etc. for each generation. Also, make sure to save often and create backups of your game at least once per generation — hopefully you will not need them. During my playthrough, The Sims 3 became corrupted and all of my sims stopped aging. 😢 Do not underestimate the time commitment that you’re making - Legacy Challenges can easily take hundreds of hours to complete.

Mini 1-2-3-4 Challenge: Don’t want to commit to 10 generations? Try the mini version:

1 generation in TS1

1 generation in TS2

1 generation in TS3

1 generation in TS4

This shorter version still spans multiple generations and games, but it’s quicker to complete!

Thanks for reading. Have fun telling your story!

This challenge was created (with love) by Pambikin and SilentxxBunny in February 2025.

The Guts Legacy Challenge

Nearly three years to the day since I first posted the Sour Legacy Challenge and Guts is finalllllly ready for you (never thought I'd see the day) 😭🤘✨

Same drill as before: the rules are lax, make this your own, take it slow or fast, use lots of mods and cheats or don't, I don't care—my only hope is that this helps you tell a creative, chaotic story in our favorite little dollhouse game.

Note for gen 1: if you don't have the sticky fingers aspiration in your game, I recommend fabulously wealthy or mansion baron!

So, enjoy! And be sure to tag me and/or hashtag #gutslegacychallenge so I can see what you get up to.

No money cheats (except for setting the scene).

Focus on storytelling—embrace the drama, conflicts, and messy love lives.

Complete each generation’s career, aspirations, and unique goals to move forward. 🏆

Herbs and Spices Legacy Challenge

By Sunny & Missy

Hello! This is the first challenge my friend and I created. I had lots of fun making this challenge and I hope you enjoy it as well. I created this in only a day so there may be things that need to be added or taken away once I go through the challenge myself. Happy Simming!

Overview:

This is an 8 generation Legacy Challenge. The gender and style is completely up to you (except generation 2). Complete all goals before moving onto the next generation. Make sure you look ahead each generation because some may overlap with each other (start as a teen or teen goals). I will create a base game version in the future, but for right now just skip or make up a new rule if you don't have a pack. We will be adding colour's (yes we’re Canadian), no they don't make sense with the herbs and spices, but it's fun so that's what we're going to do!! I'm playing this for the first time so things may change, please let me know if there's any mistakes or if you think of anything to add to this challenge.

Rules

You can either start off with 0 money like the original legacy challenge or start out with starting funds, whichever is more fun for you!

You don't have to level up skills to level 10, unless the job states otherwise.

Complete job career, unless stated otherwise

Complete the aspiration each generation, unless stated otherwise

Cheats are fine if it makes the challenge more fun for you, otherwise try not to make yourself have an advantage over others, cc is fine

Must complete each goal for each gen, then you can go to the next generation, You can choose to do the optional goals

I suggest life span on normal or long, short if you want stress and a challenge!

This doesn't need to be a berry challenge, but if you want to you can make everything their fav colour!! 

if you play this challenge please use #herbsandspiceslegacy

Have Fun!!

The link for the full challenge can be found below!! The first Gen will be below the cut, just to see if you like it!

the joy of life legacy challenge by @simelune 35 generations to keep you playing.

as i was looking for legacy challenges that were being updated as new packs came out, i had the thought "hey, why not just write one myself?" so here we are! i'll do by best to add new generations as time goes on, but seeing as this already has 35 (!!) generations, i think we'll be okay for a bit.

a few notes:

this challenge incorporates mods. i tried to include options for players who do not use gameplay mods, but some generations are built around them.

this challenge uses (almost) all packs. some generations are based off specific packs though, so you could pick and choose which gens you want to do.

this challenge has story aspects. there's a lot of room for you to come up with a story yourself each generation, so have fun with it!

some generations are longer and more involved than others! this is meant to give you a bit of a break and provide variety between generations.

GOOGLE DOC

please feel free to tag me if you try this challenge! i would love to see how you interpret some of the story aspects and seeing your simmies makes my day <3 you could also tag it with "#tjol challenge" / "#tjolc" if you prefer!

if you have any questions or feedback, my inbox is always open.

So I came up with this new sims legacy challenge, i call it Wild apple tree. It consists of 10 generation and each gen has specifics to complete before moving forward. I haven't come up with the storyline between each generation just yet but other then that I think it's done. I feel i might have gotten a bit carried away and if i add more to each generation it might be a little to much but at the same time I feel it has room for improvement and new ideas so if anyone have any input please feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

(I'm hoping all the ideas I came up with are feasible and can be done I am still playing thru it)

Sims 4 TV Family Legacy Challenge

My husband and I worked on this together... It's a Legacy Challenge based on TV families from shows...
