After teens age into young adults, you can move them out of the house to make room for more kids. Infants can't be aged up until you get the notification that it's their birthday, toddlers can't be aged up until they reach level 3 in all skills (or it's their birthday), and children and teens can't age up until they have an A in school. The matriarch Sim can't have a child with the same Sim twice, and they must earn money without leaving the home (I find choosing a career as a painter or an author is most effective for this). There are variations to the rules (and a lot of them), but the gist of the challenge is for one young adult matriarch (though you can customize gender however you like) to have 100 children before they age up to an elder in the game. The 100 Baby challenge was originally created for the Sims 2 by a player who goes by the name Amiisays and reworked for the Sims 4 by Snarky Witch, who posted the official rules on their Tumblr. I admit my Sim kids were never this happy when I tried the 100 Baby challenge. Here are seven popular challenges to try on the Sims 4 to shake up your next session:


There are rules to each challenge and some can be pretty strict, but don't forget that the point is to have fun and make the challenge your own. Challenges are usually created by players and shared online to make gameplay more fun or difficult. The right one can make for incredibly realistic gameplay, but mods involve downloading files and a lot of meticulous organization (mostly to make sure you can trace back and delete something if it causes problems in your game).Įven with all of these options to let your creativity run wild in The Sims, sometimes gameplay can work itself into a boring rut. The digital sky's the limit in The Sims: You can find tons of cheat codes to enhance gameplay and give bonuses, and mods for almost everything - extra drama, more interesting personality traits, adjustable heights and more ways to customize the way your Sim looks. Most recently 2019's Island Living expansion pack and this summer's Eco Lifestyle became available for download. What's your favorite challenge in The Sims?Įven though The Sims life simulation games are 20 years old, creators Electronic Arts and Maxis are still releasing new content.
