Expand Your Sims 4 Gameplay with Legacy Challenges
The Sims 4 players enhance their gameplay experience with fan-created "Legacy Challenges," adding depth and long-term objectives. These challenges evolve continuously, with numerous variations offering unique family narratives. Let's explore ten popular options:
1. The 100 Baby Challenge:

Managing finances, relationships, and parenting amidst constant pregnancies creates a chaotic, multitasking experience ideal for players who thrive in hectic gameplay.

It blends career progression with character creation and appeals to homebuilders and storytellers.
4. Not So Scary Challenge:
