Sims Challenges have been around since Sims 1, but really found popularity in Sims 2 when The Legacy Challenge began. Now there are a ton of challenges to choose from. All written by sims players like you and me.

I find myself getting bored with the sims 4 pretty often, so this sims 4 challenges list is a great reference to have whenever that boredom hits.

I’ve included a variety of different challenge types including building challenges, CAS challenges, occult challenges, and family gameplay challenges.

You’ll notice that the majority are sims 4 legacy challenge variations. It’s the most popular challenge type (and for good reason!)

Videos have been included with some of the challenges on this list, showing other simmers completing them. I hope that it helps to spark inspiration for your challenge gameplay!

This post is all about the best sims 4 challenges.

Sims 4 Challenges List

If you’re always looking for a new sims 4 challenge to complete, then be sure to check back in, because I do update this post on a frequent basis with new challenges that I find around the sims community.

If you have no idea what kind of challenge you’d like to do, you can pick a challenge at random by using google’s random number generator, set the max at 75 (or whatever number the list is up to now), and go to the number in this list that correlates. Happy Simming!

1. Not So Berry Challenge Version 2.0

This challenge was created by lilsimsie & alwaysimming. It was updated by SimQueen8.

Unless you’re a new simmer, it’s likely that you’ve heard of the Not So Berry Challenge. It’s one of the best sims 4 challenges out there.

But if you haven’t, the premise is that each generation of the challenge is based around a color (ex: mint, yellow, plum, etc.). Each sim generation will then have their own specified traits, storyline, career, and aspirations.

This version has been updated to utilize gameplay elements that have been introduced in newer sims packs since the original challenge came out years ago.

2. Differences In The Family Tree

This challenge was created by samtastic-sims.

This is another generational sims challenge. Each generation has a theme (nature, big city, lover, etc.) and a list of objectives.

One of the points that comes up again and again in the rules of this challenge is that it’s supposed to be fun. So if you’re not having fun with a particular objective, skip it!

3. The Sims 4 Stereotypes Legacy Challenge

4. Raiding to Riches – Freegan Challenge

This challenge was created by realsugabuns.

This is a challenge that combines ideas from the teen runaway challenge and the rags to riches challenge. You’ll be playing in Evergreen Harbor as a teen or young adult who is boycotting greed and excessive waste.

Like in rags to riches, you’ll start with absolutely nothing but a plot of land. However, your goal isn’t to get rich and have a big fancy house. Your sim wants to furnish their home with dumpster dive finds and never holds onto more than $5000 at a time.

This sims 4 legacy challenge was inspired by the ‘differences in the family tree’ challenge (#2 on this list if you’re curious!)

Each generation will live in a different world and have different lifestyle focuses and an aspiration to complete. For example, you’ll begin in Oasis Springs as a farmer then move to San Myshuno to be a city sim and so on.

This a legacy challenge meant to get you the most out of your sims 4 content. Each generation has its own storyline that focuses on a few packs at time.

78. Create a Minor Sim Challenge

sims 4 challenge list

The rules of this challenge were created by someone-elsa. The photo is by rainypurpleskies creating Duchess Lucine.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the original post for this challenge, but luckily TONS of simmers have reblogged the rules.

For this challenge, you’ll be creating a sim from the list of minor sims on the Sim’s Wiki. Minor sims are those that were only ever mentioned, typically through objects.

Take Duchess Lucine for example. She was talked about in the description of the “Moonlit Rose in the Garden” painting from The Sims 4 Vampires. She supposedly painted those in the 17th century. So cool!

(I also highly recommend just searching through this challenge’s tag on Tumblr because simmers are SERIOUSLY talented. My mind was blown🤯)

80. The Celestial Scenario Challenge

The rules of this challenge were created by jvniperanite.

This is another challenge based on the zodiac signs, but with TONS of depth and story.

In chapter 1 of the challenge, there are four different “ages” so the Age of Aries, Age of Taurus, Age of Gemini, and Age of Cancer.

Each zodiac time period has its own vibe and goals to complete associated with that zodiac sign. It looks super interesting and I’m very impressed by the amount of detail the creator put into the challenge!
