The Sims 4 is a social Simulation game that was released in 2014. It gives players the chance to make their ideal family, then places them in a house to start their story. The family can be created in Create A Sim or CAS. There, Simmers could make Teens, Toddlers, Adults, and many more. In addition, they can customize their Sims' appearance, Traits, likes, dislikes, and Aspirations.
Although CAS has a lot of options, some players might get bored with creating the same thing repeatedly in The Sims 4. Luckily, there are a couple of challenges that will spice up creating a family and make it more enjoyable.
7 Toddler To Adult
It's not a secret that when Toddlers age in The Sims 4, they look nothing like their adult selves. That's why this challenge was created. The Toddler To Adult is a pretty straightforward challenge. Players will have to create a Toddler and customize everything from hair, eyes, skin color, to nose shape, and so on.
Next, Simmers will age the Toddler to an Adult and try to make it look exactly like their younger self, matching their clothing style and hairstyle in every category.
6 Inverted Colors
One of the best features in CAS is the variety of colors in hair and clothes. But, players might get used to them after playing for a while. The Inverted Colors challenge was created for this specific reason. Simmers need to head to the colors filter on their device and choose Inverted.
Then, create a Sim completely, which means planning their outfits in all eight categories and their hairstyles. From here, players can remove the filter and see the colorful and crazy results they created.
5 Black And White
This challenge resembles the Inverted one, but instead of picking Inverted in the color settings, Simmers have to pick Grayscale (Black and White). Using the same principle as mentioned before, players will have to create a Sim without knowing the colors of any clothing or hairstyle.
If players are confident in their skills, they can create eight Sims in black and white instead of one and see the results of each one. They could use Custom Content or CC, as it will make the challenge more interesting.
4 Solid Color
Like the Solid Color build challenge, players will have to create one Sim (or more) using a single palette. To find the hue options in The Sims 4, they need to select the Color option from the Filter Box in CAS. Then, choose a specific one or put them in a color wheel and let it decide.
Next, they'll have to make everything about their Sim in the chosen color. That includes hairstyles, clothes, accessories, and makeup. If Simmers want to take it to the next level, they can also change the Sim's skin tone. Although they will probably end up looking more like an Alien than a Normal Sim.
3 Random Genetics
The Random Genetics challenge requires three Sims; two randomized parents and their child. First, players should create the characters and choose everything randomly by pressing the randomize icon three times in each CAS category. Simmers will have to press on each part of the face (eyes, jaw, chin, and so on) and body (bodyshape, skin tone, clothes, etc) and randomize it three times.
After that, click on the “plus” icon and choose the Play With Genetic option. Then put the randomized Sims as the parents and randomize their child three times. Next, players have to age the child into a Teen. Simmers can have fun with this randomized experience.
2 Ugly To Beauty
Feeling lazy and unmotivated to create a family or build? The Gallery in The Sims 4 can help. It also helps with finding the challenge. After typing Ugly to Beauty in the Search Box, Simmers will get a ton of crazy-looking Sims.
Afterward, players have to “fix” their Sims and make them look as socially accepted as possible. Keep in mind that Simmers can't use any of the presets. They'll have to enter Details Edit Mode to edit the face and body.
1 Elements
In this challenge, players have to get creative. They need to create eight Sims, but with a twist. Each Sim has to represent a certain element like fire, water, earth, wind, and so on. Because The Sims 4 CAS doesn't have a lot of options for creating elemental Sims, Simmers may use CC or Mods if they want, as both will make the challenge easier.
Each Sim should have their skin and hair color matching the element’s color as well, also, make-up, clothes, and everything else. Players can give them tattoos or accessories as long as it represents the Sim's element. They have the freedom to create them however they like.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
