How to complete The Sims 4 Decade Challenge
Trial of the Decade in The Sim 4 is a well-known complex and detailed way to play.
Here’s a breakdown of what the challenge is, how to get started, and what you need to play the challenge.
What is the Challenge of Decades in The Sims 4?
The purpose of the Decade Challenge is to preserve the Sims’ lineage from the 1890s to the present day, while respecting the rules and restrictions of that era. Your Sims must dress, live and work according to their era. Many players love this challenge because it gives you a unique approach to Sims 4 gameplay.0003
What are the rules for the Sims 4 Decade Challenge?
The Sims 4 Decades Challenge has quite a few rules, and they can be very specific. Please note that as long as you do not state that you are running an official challenge in any capacity (such as streaming gameplay to Twitch or YouTube), you are free to modify these rules as you please to make the challenge fun and accessible to you.
A complete set of links that will give you detailed examples broken down by decade can be found on the CuteCoffeeGal blog dedicated to this task.
These rules are helpful when you are in the process of completing this challenge, but they can be extremely difficult at first. Here are the rules you need to know to get started:
- You must start with either a single Young Adult Sim or a married couple of Young Adult Sims . You can start with the parent of one of your young adult sims to live in the house with, but they don’t count towards the total number of sims in your bloodline.
- Keep CAS clothing in general corresponding to the era of . You should make sure your Sim looks as close to the era they live in as possible, though you don’t always have to be smart. Don’t worry, for example, if your Sim is wearing an 1870s dress for 1890-s. On the other hand, don’t dress your 1910s Sim in jeans and a sweater.
- The same applies to electronics and household appliances . If a Sim is required to use inappropriate technology, such as a mobile phone, you should limit this and use that technology only when absolutely necessary.
- If you are married, you must live in the house, not in apartment . Use only your starting funds and do not use cheats. You must also allow your Sim to have a decade-appropriate job (e.g. no astronauts at 1920s).
- Use the 1890s and 1900s offline lot trait if you want to prevent your Sims from accidentally using technology on your lot.
- You should set your Sims’ aging to Normal Lifespan before 1950 and then to Long Lifespan after 1950 . Ideally, you would manually age your Sims based on this lifespan, but you can also let the automatic settings do it if it gets too tedious.
- During times of war (e.g. World War I in the 1910s) use Cowplant to create a random chance of a summoned Sim dying.
Looking for DLC or custom content for The Sims 4 Challenge of the Decades?
You not need custom content or any additional downloadable content besides the base game to complete The Decade Challenge .
That being said, having some game packs or user-generated content can help you dive into the challenge more easily. For example, the Moschino set can really add some 80s style to your game. You can only play The Sims 4 base game, but you need to be more creative about how you envision each decade.
