Either way, you’ll probably be doing a lot of couchsurfing. You could need to pay a 500 simoleon job application fee before you start your career, or you could need to build a whole house in order to provide your employer with a home address. There are certain self-imposed criteria that must be met before each such milestone, though how tough they are depends on what ruleset you follow. Of course, this challenge isn’t as easy as simply getting a job and saving up. Start out with a single Sim on an empty lot, without any friends or a simoleon to their name, and work your way up to having a home, a family, and every comfort a Sim could wish for. One of the most enjoyable and well-known Sims challenges, the Rags to Riches Challenge is exactly what it sounds like. Here are some of the best Sims challenges to help make your digital dolls’ lives hell.

Building a mansion is fun, but it’s even more enjoyable when you’ve watched your Sim suffer for every simoleon going into it. These challenges make The Sims’ typically gentle gameplay harder, but also a lot more satisfying. Practically every challenge has variations as well, so you can mix and match a ruleset that best suits how you want to play. Sims fans have invented a ton of challenges to spice up the sandbox, coming up with sets of themed, self-imposed rules to make your game fresh and interesting - and your Sims' lives way more difficult. However, once you are done revelling in these daydreams, it can be fun to give yourself a challenge. Life simulation game The Sims 4 lets players indulge in a plethora of enjoyable fantasies, such as owning your own home, having a fulfilling job, and being in a caring relationship with someone who loves you.
