Guys (and gals)...I suck! I promise I have not forgotten this thread. My life has just been insane the last couple of years. At some point I will get around to updating it. Hope you all have an amazing New Year!
Oh no! I hate to add to your workload, but I just wanted to promote my new Monday's Child Legacy Challenge, a seven-generation legacy baed on the Monday's Child poem.
Can someone recommend me challenges where in each life span you have to do an objective (like as a toddler, child & so on) & not just when our sim is a YA or just really detailed challenges?
I'll try and write one for you. I'm calling it the Full Life Challenge. My Long Life challenge is on the previous page, 56, if you want to check it out? I think it'd be great for around All Hallow's Eve. Thanks for the idea.
I'm wondering if there is a legacy challenge that includes all the packs. I found one that seems to have dropped off in 2020 but nothing new. I started gathering information to make my own Chronological Pack Legacy Challenge if anyone is interested.
Can someone recommend me challenges where in each life span you have to do an objective (like as a toddler, child & so on) & not just when our sim is a YA or just really detailed challenges?
Full Life Challenge break down
1. become good friends with a parent as a toddler & reach skill level 3 in all skills
2. become best friends with a child &/or finish a child aspiration
3. get a boy/girl friend as a teenager and get an A in school.
4. get married as a young adult and have children &/or get promoted to level 5 in a career
5. all of your children move out &/or you reach the top level of a career
6. have a dinner party to celebrate your anniversary &/or retire
7. die of old age
All possible with base game only. I might make a longer more in depth version. But this is short and sweet.
The Full Life challenge is for your one sim to fill their life with as many activities that they can (bucket list for each stage of life of sorts.) It can be played with just the base game and I'll try and not vary from that, but if it does please let me know and I'll adjust the challenge accordingly. Pack versions might follow...
Note: "Spoilers" aren't giving anything away, they're requested to be used for the website's sake. So just click, and read along.
Beginning:
Start by creating a family, or a married couple. You can use existing sims and start with a new born as your main sim. If there's already a toddler, great! You're ahead of the game. Move them into a house, if they're not already in one. Money cheats are allowed, so any house is usable. There is a house on the gallery for this challenge too. It is called Full Life Challenge House on my gallery page under Joydove. Completely optional, but sets your sims up with what they'll need for each stage of life. Lists bellow.
Required full life items:
-All toddler skilling items. Blocks, Toys, A stuffed animal (like Blarffy,) a tablet, a potty, and a doll house.
-All childhood items, a creative art activity table, violin, a junior wizard Starter Set, a bookshelf, toybox, a desk with chair and desk lamp, monkey bars, chess board, and a fish bowl.

Set Up:
Have a baby, or toddler that's in the game or from CAS.
They may have siblings, as many as the parents want. If something happens to the challenge sim, a same age sibling can take over, but only if they've been following the challenge rules from toddlerhood as well. (Anyone can live in the household. You can even have more than one family doing the challenge in the household at the same time.) Aging up may use a cake and age up at any time, as long as they've filled the life stage requirements. This only applies to the main sim. (and any sim you want to perhaps take their place.)

> @GLM said: > A new legacy challenge! This is a variation on an Alphabet Legacy where on every birthday in the household, you spin the roulette wheel to see what happens! The roulette wheel has over 300 option on it, everything from silly items (like change your hair color), to gaining/losing money (did you make a bad bet or get a bonus?), to dire consequences (oops, dead)! This challenge can be play with as few or as many packs as you wish. > > https://goodlilmousey.wordpress.com/2022/05/16/alphabet-roulette-legacy/
I'm a big fan of @GLM roulette wheels, I'm using them to bring variety to my game as I try to complete the 100 generation legacy acheivement.
I've created one of my own which is a Making Money randomizer. Each generation of my sim family will be allocated ONE way of making money and may not make money any other way! It should make it more challenging. https://pickerwheel.com/pw?id=Lvdna
Each generation starts out with zero Simoleons - unless you land on a category with an asterix, in which case you get a $500 starter fund because it's literally impossible to start making money in those categories unless you have some initial cash.
You can make money any way you like under the category and there is often more than one way. For instance, if you land on 'Music' you can make money from busking, writing and publishing songs (including the mixing desk if you have Get Famous), joining the Entertainer career or a combination of all three. If there is a career or freelance option that aligns with the category you landed on, you can choose to join that career (or not).
I *think* I've thought of every possible way of making money in The Sims but let me know if I've missed anything!

Hi, I love the sound of this challenge. Is there a seperate thread or link for this please?
You can find all my challenges here, @minkypain I made a new blog with just the competitions and things here. I didn't close my original one down for some reason it was closed without my consent, may have been a time thing. Anyway you can find them here https://jendowozsims4.weebly.com/

Hi all! This is my first post on the forums so do excuse any errors.
I have created a small website recently (originally for my wife, but sharing is caring!) that randomly generates a set of criteria for a build challenge. I'm currently constantly expanding upon it as and when I have the time with more challenges and improvements but it would be nice if I could get a little feedback and some suggestions too! Here's the link:
simschallenges.infinityfreeapp.com
Currently, I know there are a couple issues that are relatively harmless, the main one being that if you press the button too many times it stops working. Just refresh the page and it fixes the issue.

-No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
Hey, that's what me and some others on LilSimsie's discord have been discussing haha. It's such a fun idea without the multiple romances involved. And then if you download a certain mod, you can choose to have the baby instantly or go through pregnancy first
Owlenmoon is the house which most values creativity and wisdom. They're intellectual and introspective, and can find poetry in situations that may appear irrelevant to others. They're also good at making things more complicated than what they're supposed to be.
Hi everyone!!! I just wanted to stop in to post the official links for all my challenges (some of my challenge links have changed when I updated my blog recently), and announce a new set of challenge rules written by myself and a friend of mine. To make this post not so long, I will use spoiler tags for each challenge's description (except the newest one that's just being announced today.)
This challenge is all about stretching your creative muscles. You know the saying – “Practice makes Perfect”? – well, it reflects a truth that practicing something will make you better at it. I, personally, used to be quite bad at building, but through practice, I’ve gotten better. Now, CAS seems to be my achilles heel in Sims, and something I usually avoid… so I’ve decided to force myself to do some sim-making. There’s a lot of challenges out there for doing a number of CAS themes or build themes, but, as far as I know, there isn’t one that combines the two skills. I used ideas from as many different CAS challenges as I could find, and then changed them to suit what I thought would work. I tried to make things neither too specific or too generic, and to pick stuff that most people can relate to. I made a list of 100 of the best ideas I came up with (because that’s a nice round number) and randomized the list several times on the random.org website. The hardest part was then fleshing out each of the ideas. The list below is the result of hours of work, which was hopefully worth it. My hopes is that other simmers will find this challenge and help fill the gallery with themed sims and builds under the #100daycreativity hashtag.
This challenge is inspired by both the famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, and KaduMcFadu80’s Mystery Mansion Challenge on the sims forums. Basically, your job is to build a mystery mansion of your own. I include some gameplay in the challenge, however, feel free to ignore most of the gameplay by using money cheats instead, and just build each day. It is important to play the day in between each build time, though, because it gives you time to think about what to do next.
The Apartment Switch is a generational challenge all about building, decorating, making money, and most of all learning about the “City Living” Expansion for The Sims 4. As opposed to a normal 10 generation legacy, it is completed in 6 generations and focuses on your family (over time) rebuilding or redesigning all the lots and apartments in San Myshuno. It was heavily inspired by the Drifter Challenge by Vihisha Tak’Nai and the Movin’ On Up challenge by ImaginingMystic. It also could be said there’s a little of a Legacy Challenge by PinStar in it as well. It requires, obviously, that you own Sims 4 Base game and the City Living expansion, but can be completed without any others. The challenge takes place exclusively in the San Myshuno neighborhood in Sims 4, although travel to the other neighborhoods is not restricted. There are also two difficulties available for The Apartment Switch, Normal and Extreme, but I’ll explain more about them later. As for other expansions, having or not having them won’t make much difference in how the Challenge plays. I know that, in particular, the Seasons expansion will make things a lot harder on other challenges, but it definitely won’t “break” The Apartment Switch, since apartments are largely indoors and you don’t have to do much in the way of “Lawn Living.” The only expansion that is expressly forbidden is Vampires, and I just restrict having vampires as a playable lifestate for the purposes of this challenge.
This challenge, like my Apartment Switch Challenge, is based in one expansion. the full version (below) uses traits and jobs from other expansions, but I was careful to include directions for replacing the traits or jobs if you don’t have those packs. At it’s heart, this is a story of a family that starts from a single female human sim who has a dream to be a mermaid and pass on her legacy. It’s based on a Matriarchy line, but I suppose you could change it to all males if you really wanted. Each generation is based on a color, and starts completely over on a new lot in Sulani. Eventually, your whole Sulani town will be filled with houses you built over the course of the challenge. The fun part about this challenge, is that not only do you have different goals for each challenge, it gets just a little bit harder each generation. It is actually an 11 generation challenge, because there’s a Generation Zero – which is the human sim who has to find out how to become a mermaid. (This challenge is based on a challenge I found on the forums, but it's been considerably edited.)
This is my newest challenge, just officially launched today. It is an original 11-gen challenge (10 generations plus a Gen zero/prologue gen.) designed to help you explore the Werewolf pack (and its interactions with other occult states). This is why the other occult life states are highly recommended as must-have packs. The major difference in this legacy when compared to others you will find is that there are banned skills listed for each generation. These are to make it more difficult. Avoid using these skills, with the ultimate goal of keeping them under level 2. If you somehow accidentally get them to 2, it is not a challenge fail, but aim to keep the skill level on them as low as possible.
This challenge is all about doing everything – and I mean EVERYTHING – in the game of Sims 4. It’s based off of the Absolute Master and the Achiever challenges, neither of which have been updated for the current expansions. The only thing I don’t require is finishing ALL achievements and collecting ALL pet Traits. I will list them in case you want to collect them, but they are completely optional to get. Some achievements are really buggy – in particular, the legacy ones, so I’m not including them. Also, this is NOT played on a “point system”, that would be way too complicated. The ultimate goal is to get it done in 26 generations… but it may be more depending on how you pace yourselves. (Update after Eco Lifestyle: With 80 goal sets if you have all expansions, I’ve been informed it IS still mathematically possible to get this challenge done in 26 generations, but it would be a VERY difficult challenge.)
This is a story-based generational challenge that will take you through history from the Stone Age into the future. It is not for the faint of heart, as it spans more than 30 generations. I based the rules off of having all of the expansion packs (excluding the Star Wars one) and I will be trying to keep this updated with new packs, but it would still be possible to complete if you’re missing some by either skipping the generations pertaining to the missing pack or changing the goals for that generation. Also: if you are too scared of the full 30+ generations, feel free to pick and choose which generations to play as you go (although you’d miss large parts of the story) and just have fun with discovering history. There is also a hefty dose of fantasy in this challenge and it does include the Supernatural states. The Sims game itself requires some imagination to play, and so does this challenge. If this isn’t up your alley, you could either skip the more fanciful generations, or find a different challenge. This challenge follows a family that starts in Europe and eventually comes to the USA, so expect the history involved to follow that track, as well. This is not so much a building challenge as it is a game play and “Legacy” challenge, and, to that end, I will be providing lots I have built for each generation and era. You are NOT required to use them, however. I highly encourage building your own lots – I’ve had as much fun researching the architecture as I have playing the challenge. The provided lots are linked from a greenish box at the end of each generation’s rules, and will be filled out as I work my way through testing the whole challenge. I have also tried to make this challenge appropriate for all and as family friendly as possible. There will be death and woohoo, however, as those are things that really can’t be avoided. (There is also a tracking spreadsheet created for my version, linked from the challenge page!)
Yes, I know there are many different versions of the Not-So-Berry challenge that extend the challenge using newer packs.. but I ended up making my own, anyway. I added in 20+ more generations to account for the new packs, and gave each generation a color, a story and some unique goals to complete. Just for me, because apparently the challenge wasn’t hard enough already, I also added some additional (optional) goals to the first 10 generations. I tried very hard to keep the spirit of the challenge intact, and to change as little as possible for the first ten generations out of respect for the original challenge by LilSimsie. (There is also a tracking spreadsheet created for my version, linked from the challenge page!)
Lastly, I created my own version of the Decades Challenge, and spiced it up with a ton more rolls and rules. It still starts in the 1890s, and goes to present day while trying to experience history as it was then. It’s terribly hard to get game play or even the rules to be completely accurate to history, but myself – and all the other people who have worked on this challenge – have tried very hard to make it as accurate as possible. This version is an adaptation on the base rules by CuteCoffeGal (who has done an AMAZING job, by the way), adding in a whole lot of random rolls and challenges or problems for each decade. I used a couple other Decades-like challenges, and some of my own ideas. (Also of note: this is the history from a Caucasian American perspective. If you’re looking for another perspective, check out some of the other links I have included on the challenge page.) This has already been updated with custom age spans for the Infants, but expect some more updates re: Growing Together to come soon.
I just recently wrote my own legacy challenge... Can't post it in its own thread yet because I'm still a new member, but hopefully you guys still have fun with it:
TV Family Legacy Challenge:

Well, there must be some magic clue inside these gentle walls cause all I see is a tower of dreams, real love bursting out of every seam.”
After a long successful line of entertainers, you decide to take a different approach. After you move out, you fall in love with a non-entertainer, get married, and move into a house big enough for 8 people. Your story begins as a young adult.

You have a good life, you’re living with your sister, and you have a good relationship with your brothers.

Feel free to suggest other TV Families you'd like to see in the optional generations... Obviously I left out The Huxtables because Bill Cosby was a horrible person IRL and The Bunkers because although Archie wasn't a bad guy, he was kind of racist....
I love this thread and am amazing by all the work put in as well as how many awesome challenges there are. I'm not sure how to share a Challenge I came up with but This is a link to my tumblr where I have it posted https://www.tumblr.com/jellysimbean-blog/713055885904183296/wild-apple-tree-sims-legacy-challenge
Update: I've been testing my legacy, and I'm still on the first gen and already it's chaotic! Here is a list of things that has already happened in the 3 hrs I've played it...
1.) Gomez caught on fire because he was standing too close to the fireplace. He was brought back because Morticia pleaded for his life (needless to say, I put a sprinkler fire alarm in the front room just in case it happens again)
2.) As if Gomez catching fire wasn't enough, Fester has started SEVERAL fires just by trying to cook.... I have had to replace the stove and a grill MULTIPLE times. NEVER LET FESTER COOK! HE WILL DO NOTHING BUT DESTROY!
3.) As a result of the many fires Fester has started, and my focusing more attention on the children and less attention on the various fires that have been started by Fester, Morticia has died of starvation and Gomez and Fester are now raising the 3 children. (Gomez was focused on the kids and couldn't get downstairs fast enough to plead for Morticia's life)
So, needless to say, if you need or want a chaotic but fun challenge, you should try this one.... It can either get even more chaotic or less chaotic....
Created an account to share this challenge; I'll make it it's own post once I've earned the points and am able to :3
God-mode Parenting Challenge [Sims 4] Recommended Expansion Pack: Growing Together
Test your sims parenting skills with this short but difficult challenge. Start as a new sim, or play a child up to adulthood to make sure you are a skilled adult ready to raise that child. How long will your child live? Did you manage to inspire them to go to college? Any future generations spawning from your autonomous sim?
Challenge Rules: -- Have a baby. You are NEVER allowed to play as the child. -- Raise the child by interacting with it only as the other household sims -- Use ‘Form a Group’ honestly - do not form a group simply to order the child around. Use only when a group is doing an activity together. -- When old enough you can populate the friend list on Social Bunny, but you can not use Social Bunny to message, post, or react. -- Pop-ups and prompts related to the autonomous child (invitations to hangout) are allowed to be accepted.
Looking for harder challenge?
Parenting+ Modifications: -- Only interact with the child as the parent(s) - no siblings or grandparents -- When child becomes an adult, move them out to live on their own
Win Conditions: 1. Autonomous child dies of old age 2. Sim-God never controlled said autonomous child during their life

The idea is to rotate through the worlds, restrict travel, and make life in each world more unique.

@LizabethRose415 You might find this fun, since a lot of packs have their own world.
*.:.* My Simblr *.:.* Rebuild Willow Creek *.:.* The Bachelor of Newcrest *.:.* SIMply Living Magazine *.:.*
I'll try and write one for you. I'm calling it the Full Life Challenge. My Long Life challenge is on the previous page, 56, if you want to check it out? I think it'd be great for around All Hallow's Eve. Thanks for the idea.
It isn't quite considered a legacy challenge but Pack-Man Challenge is pretty fun, and they have versions that include the most recent packs. I played the oldest version a little while ago and had a good time.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JNOlTtFzzIjRUQAahPAcnIOvRKbqmQWs5EoZDhgSgSY/edit#
Full Life Challenge break down
1. become good friends with a parent as a toddler & reach skill level 3 in all skills
2. become best friends with a child &/or finish a child aspiration
3. get a boy/girl friend as a teenager and get an A in school.
4. get married as a young adult and have children &/or get promoted to level 5 in a career
5. all of your children move out &/or you reach the top level of a career
6. have a dinner party to celebrate your anniversary &/or retire
7. die of old age
All possible with base game only. I might make a longer more in depth version. But this is short and sweet.
The Full Life challenge is for your one sim to fill their life with as many activities that they can (bucket list for each stage of life of sorts.) It can be played with just the base game and I'll try and not vary from that, but if it does please let me know and I'll adjust the challenge accordingly. Pack versions might follow...

> A new legacy challenge! This is a variation on an Alphabet Legacy where on every birthday in the household, you spin the roulette wheel to see what happens! The roulette wheel has over 300 option on it, everything from silly items (like change your hair color), to gaining/losing money (did you make a bad bet or get a bonus?), to dire consequences (oops, dead)! This challenge can be play with as few or as many packs as you wish.

I'm a big fan of @GLM roulette wheels, I'm using them to bring variety to my game as I try to complete the 100 generation legacy acheivement.
I've created one of my own which is a Making Money randomizer. Each generation of my sim family will be allocated ONE way of making money and may not make money any other way! It should make it more challenging.
https://pickerwheel.com/pw?id=Lvdna
Each generation starts out with zero Simoleons - unless you land on a category with an asterix, in which case you get a $500 starter fund because it's literally impossible to start making money in those categories unless you have some initial cash.
You can make money any way you like under the category and there is often more than one way. For instance, if you land on 'Music' you can make money from busking, writing and publishing songs (including the mixing desk if you have Get Famous), joining the Entertainer career or a combination of all three. If there is a career or freelance option that aligns with the category you landed on, you can choose to join that career (or not).
I *think* I've thought of every possible way of making money in The Sims but let me know if I've missed anything!

Hi,
I love the sound of this challenge.
Is there a seperate thread or link for this please?
this old link is closed, but I found it via the way back machine!!! here's the link to the archived web page
https://web.archive.org/web/20201129030453/http://jendowoz.blogspot.com/2016/07/at-witts-end-challenge.html
Awesome! I'm so happy you reposted it!
I have created a small website recently (originally for my wife, but sharing is caring!) that randomly generates a set of criteria for a build challenge. I'm currently constantly expanding upon it as and when I have the time with more challenges and improvements but it would be nice if I could get a little feedback and some suggestions too! Here's the link:
simschallenges.infinityfreeapp.com
Currently, I know there are a couple issues that are relatively harmless, the main one being that if you press the button too many times it stops working. Just refresh the page and it fixes the issue.
Thanks all!

-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
Hey, that's what me and some others on LilSimsie's discord have been discussing haha. It's such a fun idea without the multiple romances involved. And then if you download a certain mod, you can choose to have the baby instantly or go through pregnancy first
Hi everyone!!! I just wanted to stop in to post the official links for all my challenges (some of my challenge links have changed when I updated my blog recently), and announce a new set of challenge rules written by myself and a friend of mine. To make this post not so long, I will use spoiler tags for each challenge's description (except the newest one that's just being announced today.)
Build/CAS Challenges:
100 Day Creativity: https://illusorythrall.wordpress.com/home/challenge-rules/build-challenges/100-day-creativity-challenge-rules/
Winchester Mystery House Challenge: https://illusorythrall.wordpress.com/home/challenge-rules/build-challenges/winchester-mystery-house-sims-style/

Lunar Lineage: (A Werewolf Legacy): https://illusorythrall.wordpress.com/home/challenge-rules/gameplay-challenges/lunar-lineage/
This is my newest challenge, just officially launched today. It is an original 11-gen challenge (10 generations plus a Gen zero/prologue gen.) designed to help you explore the Werewolf pack (and its interactions with other occult states). This is why the other occult life states are highly recommended as must-have packs. The major difference in this legacy when compared to others you will find is that there are banned skills listed for each generation. These are to make it more difficult. Avoid using these skills, with the ultimate goal of keeping them under level 2. If you somehow accidentally get them to 2, it is not a challenge fail, but aim to keep the skill level on them as low as possible.

Feel free to suggest other TV Families you'd like to see in the optional generations... Obviously I left out The Huxtables because Bill Cosby was a horrible person IRL and The Bunkers because although Archie wasn't a bad guy, he was kind of racist....
1.) Gomez caught on fire because he was standing too close to the fireplace. He was brought back because Morticia pleaded for his life (needless to say, I put a sprinkler fire alarm in the front room just in case it happens again)
2.) As if Gomez catching fire wasn't enough, Fester has started SEVERAL fires just by trying to cook.... I have had to replace the stove and a grill MULTIPLE times. NEVER LET FESTER COOK! HE WILL DO NOTHING BUT DESTROY!
3.) As a result of the many fires Fester has started, and my focusing more attention on the children and less attention on the various fires that have been started by Fester, Morticia has died of starvation and Gomez and Fester are now raising the 3 children. (Gomez was focused on the kids and couldn't get downstairs fast enough to plead for Morticia's life)
So, needless to say, if you need or want a chaotic but fun challenge, you should try this one.... It can either get even more chaotic or less chaotic....

God-mode Parenting Challenge [Sims 4]
Recommended Expansion Pack: Growing Together
Test your sims parenting skills with this short but difficult challenge. Start as a new sim, or play a child up to adulthood to make sure you are a skilled adult ready to raise that child. How long will your child live? Did you manage to inspire them to go to college? Any future generations spawning from your autonomous sim?
Challenge Rules:
-- Have a baby. You are NEVER allowed to play as the child.
-- Raise the child by interacting with it only as the other household sims
-- Use ‘Form a Group’ honestly - do not form a group simply to order the child around. Use only when a group is doing an activity together.
-- When old enough you can populate the friend list on Social Bunny, but you can not use Social Bunny to message, post, or react.
-- Pop-ups and prompts related to the autonomous child (invitations to hangout) are allowed to be accepted.
Looking for harder challenge?
Parenting+ Modifications:
-- Only interact with the child as the parent(s) - no siblings or grandparents
-- When child becomes an adult, move them out to live on their own
Win Conditions:
1. Autonomous child dies of old age
2. Sim-God never controlled said autonomous child during their life
