Lot Challenges

The gurus have confirmed that in addition to the lot challenges coming with Cottage Living (simple living and the fox one), and Off the Grid (base game), there will be other challenges related to other packs.
I’ve had a look at the existing lot traits, and noticed a lot of the ‘negative’ traits have had their description altered to include what pack they are from, while the others haven’t been changed (even if they are from another pack).
The lot traits that have changed are ‘cursed’, ‘filthy’, ‘gremlins’, ‘grody’, ‘landfill lot’, ‘quake zone’, ‘reduce and recycle’, ‘spooky’, ‘volcanic activity’ and ‘off the grid’ (the only base game one).
Given that only these have changed, I suspect these will be considered lot challenges and no longer count towards the 3 lot trait limit (there won’t be a limit for challenges).

I don't know if Filthy have effects on Bust The Dust kit.
Needs TLC could become a challenge.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI guess it’s cool that they’re freeing up slots for the lot traits. Is the Challenges system only going to be in CoL but cross pack compatible or is it a base game update?
Yeah I was a bit surprised that Creepy Crawly didn’t count, it seems like more of a challenge than filthy or spooky.
I’m assuming it will have to be base game since they’re reclassifying elements of other packs, it would be strange to list them as lot traits for some players and challenges for others.
Cursed
Filthy
Gremlins
Grody
Landfill Lot
Off-the-Grid
Quake Zone
Reduce and Recycle
Spooky
Volcanic Activity
I'd love to! the flames of my hopes were low but with the challenge of the food they burned again! We just need to be able to create our clothes or buy them as a challenge!
Will it add more content or levels, or will it be more difficult?
Or is it just a name change?

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThe last patch only adjusted their description, I doubt the trait itself will actually change at all.
That's a bit disappointing. I assumed Lot Challenges like Tiny Living and the Haunted House trait from Paranormal Stuff had a bit more depth to them, so I thought they'd add to them.
I think the gurus said there won’t be a limit

I'm pretty sure that I've heard this too. Although having too many could probably lead to challenges mixing and not being possible.
I hope they strengthen them. I rarely encounter the effects, even though my homes all have these traits.
One aspect I hadn't noticed before is that there is a 'randomise' button for lot challenges, which could be fun.
My Sim gets bitten practically every day but has had no lasting effects.
