God bless this post. I've only tried one so far (Cult or Commune Challenge) and have a whole queue for when I complete it. First time I've ever done a challenge but I love it so much! Recommend that one for anyone who's not sure which to try and really gets immersed in the role of the sim.
@dafadolly I love a good challenge. It brings a new way to explore all the great aspects of this game. There are so many things I might not have tried if it were not for some of these challenges.
The 13 Ghost Challenge is not working for us. lol By the time we have 11 or 12 of the books, 1 or 2 of them get an underline on them instead of a name. Then keep placing Sims and none of them have the qualities asked for. We have placed 4 or 5 runs of out of this world Sims and have a friend's list full of ghosts. soooooo Already having problems with losing skills gained. Sometimes it is like the movie Ground Hog's Day. If it has worked for someone let me know. We upped all those skills and it feels like wasted time. lol

When I am reading thru a new challenge suggestion I look for a few key items:
What is the story behind the challenge?
Tell me something to make me interested in reading more about the challenge.
Is it based on another existing challenge?
Is it a complete challenge with a beginning, middle and end?
How do I start, how do I play and what is the ultimate goal or how do I 'win'?
Do the rules or guidelines seem reasonable and can goals set by the challenge actually be achieved?
Has the person posting the challenge play tested it?
By posting a challenge on a blog or in the forums it is much easier to discuss and ask questions.
When updating a challenge or change the guidelines just edit the thread where it is posted.
Starting too many threads on the same challenge or subject only adds to confusion and leads to information being lost.
These are only suggestions and offer a view of how I - as one person - review challenges.
Thank you for your time.
Edit: Use spell check and complete words to make reading your post more pleasant and easier to understand.

OMG this is an awesome idea. I'm sitting here like "alligator on a stick"?? Hahaha. I am trying to find shorter challenges to do and I think this would be fun, even tied in with something else. Def keeping this one in mind
After I'd written it, I realized there was a similar challenge out there already, but the challenge rules are a little different from the single father challenge that you have listed, so I kept it either way.
I'm currently playing it, I hope you guys like it, too
Thank you for the long amazing list of challenges! I hope you still update this because soon I will be creating my own challenge that hopefully you will add to your list :)
You see that beautiful sim over there in the profile picture? Her name is Piper Brown one of my favorite sims I have ever made shes a free spirit may we all be free spirits like her ^-^~
I created a new challenge, unfortunately It can`t be added to the list but I thought I should share it though. The Poor family legacy : This challenge is a 5-8 generation legacy challenge, you can have an ninth generation if you want but never a tenth. Goal:Raise the most successful children and the most intelligent adults, and build a house to ONLY meet needs only and not wants. Rules: 1.The family`s household money cannot exceed 10,000 simoleons.( This is a poor family challenge after all, if you exceed it BUY SOMETHING.) 2.The house cannot be beautiful during the entire challenge even in the last 3 generations. 3.The males in the family must all be kleptos.( ALL of THEM) 4.They can only have expensive furniture if it was STOLEN. 5.Children and Teens cannot exceed level 5 of any skill until they are adults.(Unless it was accidental) 6.Male heirs only, Female heirs can only be used if the family failed to have a boy. 7.Adopted children aren`t qualified to be heirs or heiresses. 8.The parents must have 5 children at least. 9.The children cannot kiss (except the first kiss) until they are married, (NOT ENGAGED MARRIED). Starting out: Create a mum and a dad, Traits: Mum: Neat,Loves the Outdoors, Family Orientated or Good Dad: Kleptomaniac, and other 2 of your choice. Same traits apply to all heirs and and heiresses(Spouse of heirs). Aspirations are your choice as long as they have to do with nature or family. The house must be hideous but should grow to have alot of rooms for the children and the needs. One story house during the entire challenge. You must start off with 100 simoleons. Playing: Females cannot get jobs but they can make money in other ways. Children must all be in-birth sims or adopted children. Grade school costs: 1,750 simoleons for each child, High school costs: 3,500 simoleons per teen. If you don`t have enough money then the child won`t be allowed into school until you have enough money to pay for their education. Males can join jobs that don`t give alot of money and MUST steal. Generation ends when the youngest boy becomes a young adult or if the family fails to have boys then the youngest girl will take on. Also remember their money can exceed 10,000 if they did then u must buy something, and don`t let the children and teen`s skills exceed level 5. Get to work update: Males are not allowed to join any of the new careers. The family can only own a retail if they desperately need simoleons. Get together update: The family may only live on the Island if they choose to live in Windenburg. Nobody is allowed to create or join clubs unless they do something that helps with skills. Enjoy the challenge and if u want update me on what is happening with you.

Scavenger hunts can be great fun
I am not familiar with the word "Changelle"
Do you mean to say "Disney Neighbour Changelle" or "Disney Neighbour Challenge"?
the latter I can't spell sometimes sorry
