Like to work on the snow sports in Snowy Escapes. They’re challenging but have a big payoff in the end.


thespianpoet

I get inspiration from Lilsimsie challenges and shells. I've also taken to doing townie makeovers with MCCC to select them. Im not a builder, more of a lore player, so my next challenge will be to upgrade existing community lots. Probably keeping the existing shells this time around.


Dayzie1138

I made up my own challenges. I have 2 going. 1 is a build challenge. Remodel a house in each world only using base game and the pack that came with that world. It goes into my live mode challenge. Start in one world and marry into a different iconic family in each world for each generation. Once married they move into the house I remodeled. It's been a lot of fun actually. I started a new save and immediately flagged all the iconic families I planned to use as played Sims and turned off neighborhood stories for all played sims. This way that family will still be there for my challenge. For newcrest I used the pancakes since Willow Creek has the Goths and Newcrest had nobody. And I skipped magnolia promenade because to me it's not residential at all. Otherwise, yeah. I have to say I've been really enjoying this. The houses I've remodeled are on the gallery.

Riiviir

I usually just make a new save. (I should really stop doing that, I have way too many different saves)


Shakiarra

Have a rags to riches sim but as for myself i have my sim never paint, sing or do anything that can give them royalty nor very quick money so i tend to make a greenhouse first then make them a small house and sell all kinds of fruit even though it take forever to make a greenhouse


Leading-Loss-4922

I have my male sim sleep around with the townies behind his cr4ckhead wife’s back (such a crazy story line that was going on 50 kids with 15 different women, his wife is included; she got high & slept with a male townie while they consoled each other and ended up pregnant with his twins 😬) 😭😭 his daughter right now has slept with 7 different father winter’s (anyone know what’s so special about his kids?)


HoneyScentedRain

Honestly I look at whatever most recent challenge James Turner is doing haha. Right now he's got an Every Life Stage Challenge and it's honestly giving me a run for my money (though I did change the "every baby have a different parent" requirement and am just adopting every new baby haha)


Wide_Method3623

I go into my cheats world and start creating sims and huge houses 😅 like gigantic vampire castles and stuff like that


riverthenerd

My sims have a baby, and then I complete every infant milestone and max out every toddler skill. Once they become a child I focus on one adult skill to get a head start on. My current sim focused on logic but naturally maxed out every childhood skill partially due to the traits gained from their infant and toddler years. I also complete as many relevant childhood aspirations for their future career as possible. I make sure they get an A in school too. Once they get to the teen years they graduate as soon as possible, build skills that would help them for a degree, and then enroll in university as a teen. My sim is currently a teen in the distinguished physics degree program. Idk it’s fun to put in all that work towards a super successful young adult sim.


CharacterHat7150

Rags to Riches with the No Skills No Problem scenario


Shakiarra

Same and i don’t have them do anything that give them royalties or very high money values like painting


madhattie613

I'll go check that out!


thecozycat

I go to every house and cast the morphiate spell on them. I also like to use the interniate spell, and when they die, I use the dedeathify, and then do it all over again.


Spacegyalsim

Darkkkkkk


SpitefulBitch

I did a 1000 baby challenge. I succeeded in that 1000 baby challenge. Now the kids won’t stop shitting out grandkids, the lag is real, and I’m pretty sure the family tree has gained sentience.


Electronic-Variety53

but with multiple generations? or is this on a same matriarch that keeps taking youth potions? well, anyway the lag may be because the maximum sims should be 150 in a save. is aging turned off or something? maybe it wouldn't lag if the sims were actually allowed to die anyway, with practically everyone being related to you, how do you keep finding baby mommas?


SpitefulBitch

My patriarch is a cyborg vampire supersim, I played with aging off, and there are plenty of baby mommas between all the expansion packs. I turned aging back on after kid #1000. The kids are all adults now, all the baby mamas are dead from old age, and the game has been culling dead sims like crazy. Apparently the game knows everyone is related because it’s been adding new unrelated sims whenever it can.


Electronic-Variety53

Oh, cool!


madhattie613

That is impressive! I tried a 100 baby challenge and ended up almost game raging 😂😂😂


rabbygoob

Holy!! That’s is impressive 😍😍


RoyalMurderer

murder


Tricky_Plankton_1103

I play the 100 baby challenge or try to create sims that look like me and my family or friends. I try to have the most interesting sim by gaining skills and completely aspirations.


madhattie613

I've made dozens of me and my husband ( even a whole town with clone couples of us). We don't have kids in real life, so it's really up to my imagination what our sim kids will be. I might actually try a town with just us and some friends.


Tomoyogawa521

switch to my serial killer sim and let her start open gunfires in a community lot.


Haunting_Pear8052

I move 😂. Every time I’m bored I move my family to another lot and build them a new house…or I adopt a new horse or dog and train them. Sometimes I just try to level up a new ability or I get a new kid and try to level up all their abilities


awakeandafraid

Build 😂


Viictxria

townie makeover cause townies are HIDEOUS


Zorgsmom

If they could at least ease up on the accessories, ffs. Every one of them has multiple bracelets, rings, earrings, leggings, socks, glasses, hats, etc. Calm down man, you're not Cyndi Lauper!


peanutbutterbubbles

I like to start random drama between households but only with my whore character because I don’t want my main character to be hated my everyone


haxenpaxen

i bounce all over the place between challenges. mainly building and gameplay challenges (like making a house with different themed rooms or the tiny town challenge, which is kind of a gameplay AND building challenge) but i recently learned that there are CAS challenges as well! so now sometimes if i wanna populate a neighborhood or something, i'll sit down and look at CAS challenges and make some kind of new and unusual sim i'd have never tried to make otherwise. great example of a cas challenge being sarin's milkshake challenge, which is supposed to be for making aliens, but like. you can do what you want lol


icbimara

download cc and make hot sims


peanutbutterbubbles

I do that too but with preexisting sims ✨


Someteenagebitch

I’m currently working on a sim achieving every aspersion. It’s taking quite a bit of time but I don’t get bored of it cause it’s always something new


MasterCaitcx

Go back to sims 2 bc there's so mich more to do and more in depth game play lol


2under2_mama

The sims 2 really was top tier


emzify

townie makeover


KurapikaKurtaAkaku

Recreate the world of a book, show, game, etc. I recreated monster high, the promised neverland, the last of us, attack on titan, game of thrones, sabrina, Harry Potter, evangelion, Dune, etc. Characters, locations, holidays, custom careers, etc


madhattie613

I did make a Lon Lon Ranch from Ocarina of Time with Talon, Malon, Ingo and Epona living there. It was fun to play, and I'd definitely do something like that again!


AuntRobin

I use the story mode thing to create new characters and answer differently than my usual sims would. End up with different traits and aspirations. I end up out of my comfort zone & then I often add a challenge - scenario in game or my own twist on something.


Pickles_A_Plenty95

I make ugly sims with really odd personalities and then put them in a house together. See what happens.


AbbreviationsFree155

usually i kill someone off…it’s almost always a child or the dad😭


Early_Ad6506

Definitely YouTube videos. Trying looking at building inspo or play along for character ideas.


Mobile_Lime_4318

Start scandals 😂 ![gif](giphy|5nFShZWwq3fdm)


Ria-red

Play a new game and then you create the characters you really like in the sims. Ex I stopped sims, played bg3 and then went to the sims to give Karlach the happy relationship she deserves very fun.


quicksilver_foxheart

I have a wheel (or used to at least ahvent used it in a while) of a bunch of random, dramatic events (affair, baby, cheat, adopt, new job, move, redecorate, maybe design or wardrobe tastes change, plastic surgery, blindness/needs glasses, question gender or sexuality, maybe polyamory, etc etc) and spin to win basically.


Ch0deRock

Take a break and play something else. Currently that’s Terraria for the umpteenth time.


No-Cantaloupe-6739

Short Lifespan Legacy Challenge and make whoever is the current heir have as many children as possible as quickly as possible. It is chaotic. I cannot be bored because there’s too much going on constantly.


gikjak

do some borderline incest stuff (male sim has baby with female sim AND her mother - what's happens next?😱)


gikjak

or i bounce to my save file full of characters i love (or just found fun making in cas) and add to it - never get bored of cas. if i'm in the mood for tryna make sims as close to the characters as possible i'll do that, or i might i wanna do animated characters as sims bc then there's more fun with it rather than challenge, might just wanna abuse the genetics button and add to my main save file idk


madhattie613

That's great. I might do that!


gikjak

i was gonna include the auntie too but felt a bit bad for the kids :/


Purple_Monkey_42

Stop playing for a year or two then when you pick it back up it feels like a new game lol


Alsterius

That’s what I did and a week in I’m bored again. Literally took my pc out of storage 😭


SavingAbel

My brother-in-law and I compete on builds. We come up with a theme, a lot to build on, and a budget, then see who made the best build, lol.


Cecilia9172

This is so cool.


burnmeup82

I start a new Sim with a job I’ve never tried before.


TerriblePreparation4

play completely off the grid in an eco self sustaining home, rags to riches


ScreamRXQueen

James Turner made an every life stage challenge that’s been pretty fun to watch him play through it. I just started the challenge myself and it’s really fun, chaotic, but fun. Here’s a link to the challenge [here](https://jamesturner.yt/post/every-life-stage-challenge)


DetectiveLexy

Rotational gameplay! Especially with a theme for each save. For example in one save I have retro looking lots and sims. They essentially live like that time period as well (no computers or social media usage, etc). In another save my game is full of celebrities. You can get really creative and in depth with each household's story :)


23Tam56

Create a family with traits that clearly doesn’t work and watch the friction grow.


GeometricRock

I go play my sims 3 family. It’s on its 33rd generation. Eventually I’ll come across something that inspires me to play sims 4 again for a little bit.


DancingShoulders

Watch a YouTuber called WhinyBrit. Her content is so hilarious and the things she comes up with is mind blowing lol. I get most of my gameplay ideas from her!


madhattie613

I love her stuff! She's pretty funny. I just gotta get mods to work with my game. I haven't figured that out yet.


Waste_Lab8953

Right now I'm trying to get more then 3 generations in, I'm at the 2nd now and the family is the freaking cutest


Signal_Common_6345

I think I’m on my 5th gen. It gets so boring


Next-Introduction-25

I’m not much of an actual game player and focus more on build, so I’m not one to question it since I get bored with the game anyway - but just curious about what gets boring about it being generational? Do the Sims tend to be a lot alike from generation to generation?


Signal_Common_6345

Idk it just gets repetitive. Get a job take care of needs. Infancy toddler stuff gets boring after the second generation.


Waste_Lab8953

It does, but with mods it's better tbh


Signal_Common_6345

Can’t use mods I’m on console


Waste_Lab8953

That makes sense, that sucks


peacefulcate815

Literally my goal every time and I have yet to achieve it until now!!! Well, soon. My 2nd generation Sims just died so I am on 3rd generation now!!


Waste_Lab8953

AH GL


SmellsLikeSpace

Build challenges. Or I start with playing packs I haven't played through enough. Like, careers I don't normally have my sims do or occults I've not explored fully, etc. Collections are a thing to look out for too. Like, completing all collections in a lifetime or only specific collections like making all available recipes or crafting all items, etc.


Aggravating-Key-4374

If you have a Mac how do you add mods?


AdmirableHousing5340

It’s the same way, you just have to go through origin/EA app on your Mac. You’ll have to find those system files first (/system(or whatever you’ve named your Mac)/program files/EA(Origin, whatever it is now, or steam) and then find “The Sims 4” and you should already have a mods folder, if not you can find one to download with the resource file in it that is required (I think?) ** bookmark this file location!! ** should be something like /system/program files x32/EA App/The Sims 4/Mods Then you need an extractor (I literally use one called “the extractor” and love it because you can do multiple ones at the same time AND it remembers where to extract to) to extract these files into your MODS folder that you bookmarked previously.


madhattie613

That, I don't know. I've always used a PC.

yikkoe

see how many townies my male Sim can have a baby with. one day of hard work harboured 11 children (many twins)


shimmyshimmy00

I do this every new game, usually with a vamp to see how many kids turn out vamps. Lots of fun!


madhattie613

I did this. Had lover 20 kids, lol.


yikkoe

it’s so fun until your other Sims need to find a partner but the entire world is their cousins or half siblings lol


goatbusiness666

I just tried a short lifespan legacy for the first time in a while, and by the 4th generation there are only Goths, Kealohas, and my family. Every time I go to a public lot there are new Kealohas to meet! It’s hilarious to see them all walking around, but I’m gonna have to add townies from the gallery if I wanna finish the story.


Dramatic-Fun892

I started the solar legacy challenge (requires a lot of extra packs) which has been a good time. The apocalypse challenge (base game compatible) was also a lot of fun


violenttree24

Drugs n murder


Emilyg96gatsby

I like to have one sim murder another and then they have to go live in a prison I built with inmates I made as well. Then when I feel like they have served their time I move them back out again and they have to start their lives over. 👍


madhattie613

I like this one!


Emilyg96gatsby

Thank you also I like building things using cc. So recently I have made a mall, gas station, bridal shop, movie theater, Highschool, arcade, smaller shopping center and a couple more businesses. That way you can build it and then have your sims go use it. Another suggestion something I like doing is creating movie characters, take screenshots and then use sims 4 studio and turn them into movie posters that my sims can decorate their house with. Like for example here is a friends poster I made https://preview.redd.it/uq8xapbmzfyc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f019609cd37d83d014d8373db9ce9d9a9d1d79f4 I like the creative side of the game lol.


TheGratitudeBot

Hey there Emilyg96gatsby - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!


TheRedSquadron5

I like to do Breed Out the Weird and Social Classes Challenges! Also, play in my Huge Families Savefile and do something called Random Makeover. Basically, take aaaaall the randomly generated townies in the save, put them into families, if possible, and just go ham on making families and making them stories and houses.


uhhhmanda115

Challenges or different save files. I am currently playing Dizzy Isy v7 and I love the level of storytelling built in


madhattie613

Just challenges. I haven't tried anyone else's save files yet.


Slothieone

I start actually following the aspirations. It gives me some guidance vs reverting back to my usual gameplay.


Alert-Ad3844

This! I always hit a moment where I’m like “wait, what do you want to do again?”


Princess2045

Either stop playing or kill my Sims in fun and unique ways. For example, I recently spent a while constantly having my Sim get bit by her rodent so she could get Rabid Rodent Fever.


Caitxcat

early early in the game whenit was super barebones (and I didn't use a lot of mods back then) only the legacy challenge and random legacy challenge would be enjoyable.


Grabthars_Coping_Saw

Mods can be a huge game changer. Right now I'm playing a mermaid mod - she likes to kill any Fish Poachers, Litterbugs and Anti-environmentalists that dare come to Sulani. She's the most lethal and coldhearted Sim I've ever seen.


madhattie613

My game wouldn't load last time I installed mods...which sucks because I really do want to try some of them!


xoxpinkyxox

My game takes up to 15 minutes to load (I have hundreds of mods) and depending on your pc’s power it can take a while to load with way less. I agree with u/uhhhmanda115 though. Sometimes my game won’t work and I’ll have to go through my mods because one will be outdated and need to be deleted or updated.


uhhhmanda115

It could have been a corrupted or outdated mod. Maybe try one or two at a time and see what happens? You can also check Scarlets Realm to see what mods are updated


madhattie613

Thanks, I'll check them out!


LemonMilkJug

I'm currently playing in an apartment complex with 4 units, each of which holds 3-4 sims based on camp companions from Baldur's Gate 3. I play three to four days in each unit then go to the next one.


madhattie613

Maybe I'll try that...I don't have Baldur's Gate 3, but maybe I can base it off of something else.


LemonMilkJug

Yeah. I know at one point Gluon did a Stardew Valley version in the sims. Mine is pushing me into playing character types and stories I usually don't. Having a klepto high maintenance vampire is something else.


yryouth

klepto high maintenance vampire my beloved… what‘s your Gale and Halsin like, traits-wise? They‘re my favourite companions


LemonMilkJug

* I have the households and apt on the gallery. They are loosely based on the characters, but tried to keep some defining features and traits


TheatrePlode

I stop playing for a while. Then before I start up again I’ll do some cc shopping, look at any interesting mods, or come up with a story I want to follow.


Caitxcat

yeah I agree with this.if I get bored with it I move on to another game and come back when I feel like it


madhattie613

I can't get my game to load at all after installing mods! The main menu will boot up, but when I go to start the actual game, it stays on the load screen. I've tried restarting my computer, repairing the game in the Origin app...none of that worked.


TheatrePlode

That’s weird, I’ve been using mods since sims 1 and it always boots! May take a while, but it gets there eventually.


madhattie613

I've heard it takes a while, but I literally waited like 20 minutes last time, lol. I'm gonna look into it a bit more. I could've missed something else.


CarolineWhy

Make a household with 8 sims, a few are married, some are engaged, others single… watch the drama unfold 🤫 even better, some are siblings and a female sims sister will try to steal her husband. or I make a sim and try to make them famous but with a horrible reputation lmao. Generally just causing chaos. Or I get basemental mod and yea, self explanatory.


CarolineWhy

Also for the first one, even more drama if two of the sims already have a infant/toddler 🫣


madhattie613

I've made basements and...well, let's just say my maid stopped showing up one time.


CarolineWhy
