To this end, I caught up with a fellow Simmer to chat about her experiences navigating one of the most intense, comprehensive, and difficult-sounding challenges of them all: the Ultimate Decades Challenge. My own attempt at the 100 Infants Challenge ended in starvation, thanks to a few recent base-game updates that turned regular gameplay on its head. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who didn't delight in deleting pool ladders in The Sims 2, and it's a unique kind of hilarious to install some of the best Sims 4 mods like Life's Tragedies, trigger random acts of violence, and let chaos reign.įan-made community challenges are another way we like to make life harder, both for our digital playthings and for ourselves.
The sandbox capabilities of EA's otherwise family-friendly life sim have always encouraged us to explore those morbid curiosities with a proud lack of compunction. The Sims 4 community is a little sadistic, and unabashedly so.
