With a brand new The Sims 4 expansion pack, Eco Lifestyle, on the way, there’s at least some change of pace coming for the franchise after a few months of silence. While it’s unlikely that the new expansion will fundamentally improve the state of the game, there are still other ways to make The Sims 4 interesting again.
Challenges are one of the best things to do when the game starts to turn stale or boring, and the community has come up with hundreds of them. If overchoice is a major issue, then why not choose the next challenge based on zodiac type? For each personality type, there’s a perfect challenge to match.
12 Aries: Rags To Riches Challenge
Ah, to become a millionaire in The Sims 4. One would think this is a fairly easy task, but actually reaching one million simoleons is an extremely tough job that only the most competitive players can achieve.
Aries are perfect for the Rosebud/Rags To Riches Challenge. Their competitive and fiery nature is perfect for such a hyper ambitious task, which might take a while to accomplish.
11 Taurus: Decades Challenge
The basic legacy challenge is one everyone knows, but why not spice things up by changing the decade every time a new generation is born? With all the cosmetic and gameplay mods available, this is pretty easy and fun.
Strong and loyal Tauruses will appreciate the romanticism and the growth of their little legacy household from the early days of history to modern times.
10 Gemini: Not So Berry Challenge
For players looking for something cute and completely different, the Not So Berry Challenge forces them to use all aspects of the game while appreciating the colors of the rainbow.
Geminis are known for loving change and versatility, which is why this challenge is great for them. Curious about new things, they’ll do well experimenting with game features they haven’t really tried before.
9 Cancer: 100 Baby Challenge
Only a truly caring and affectionate player can take on the daunting and extremely time consuming 100 Baby Challenge. The goal is basically to reach 100 babies in as few generations as possible.
Caring and compassionate Cancers will absolutely love this challenge. They tend to be good with children and find ways to make things work even when they get overwhelmed.
8 Leo: Perfect Sim Challenge
The perfect challenge for any ambitious perfectionist is without a doubt the Perfect Sim Challenge, which has the goal of growing the ideal Sim with all aspirations and skills maxed out.
For such a daunting task, Leo is the ideal candidate. They won’t shy away from the challenge easily, and their sheer self-confidence will propel them and their Sim to success.
7 Virgo: Big Sister Challenge
Not all families have adults, and such is the case in the Big Sister Challenge, in which an older sibling must look after a younger one. Life’s tough, but there’s a way to make it work.
An intelligent and clever player like Virgo will find practical solutions to defeat this challenge. Thanks to their caring demeanor, they also make for the best big sisters, naturally.
6 Libra: Renaissance Challenge
One perfect Sim is one thing, but how about eight perfect Sims? The Renaissance Challenge tasks the player with making eight Sims complete the Renaissance Sim aspiration.
Libras will appreciate any pursuit of knowledge and excellence, while also having a large household of Sims who can build lasting relationships with each other.
5 Scorpio: Black Widow Challenge
Evil, twisted and scandalous, the Black Widow Challenge is popular for a good reason. The player must have their black widow Sim collect at least 10 graves into their backyard.
Only someone as resourceful and cunning as a Scorpio could succeed at this task. It takes real stubbornness to be a successful black widow.
4 Sagittarius: I’m Surrounded By Idiots
While the legacy challenge is a classic, there’s no harm in making it a bit more difficult. The ISBI Challenge only allows players to control one Sim at a time while desperately trying to manage an entire household.
Fun-loving Sagittarius will thrive in the chaos that will ensue from this challenge, and take it all with a great sense of humor.
3 Capricorn: Prison Challenge
One of the darker challenges, the Prison Challenge has inmates trying to better themselves in order to prepare them for a release back into society. The player must complete one inmate’s aspiration, depending on the level of difficulty.
Capricorns will take this challenge head on with hard determination and a serious attitude. Their discipline will ensure they fully succeed in bringing the inmates to their goals.
2 Aquarius: Utopia Challenge
Players tired of micro-managing every aspect of their Sims’ lives will appreciate the Utopia Challenge, which forces players to just sit back and appreciate the autonomy of their Sims, while also striving for their aspirations and careers.
Aquariuses are rebels always looking for something different and a bit radical. This is exactly what the challenge is all about: changing the way the game feels entirely.
1 Pisces: Love Thy Neighbor Challenge
A classic challenge that’s been under various names in the franchise, in Love Thy Neighbor the player’s main goal is to WooHoo with as many Sims as possible outside of their marriage without getting caught.
Loving and affectionate Pisces won’t mind spreading some love in the game through this fun yet morally questionable challenge, which is more difficult to accomplish than one would think.
