NOTE 2: THE TRACKER IS NOW LIVE! –
https://www.simschallengetracker.com/challenges/not-so-berry-challenge-2-0
Pretty much every simmer out there has heard of the Not So Berry Challenge, even if they’re not entirely sure of what it is. At it’s heart, it’s a legacy challenge about playing a different sim with different life goals each generation. However, the Not So Berry challenge has been out for so long that there have been MANY additions to Sims 4 since it was released. Plus, I know of a lot of players who get to the end of the challenge and are so attached to their family that they don’t want to stop at ten generations. This adaptation solves that. I added in 20 more generations (as of 1/6/22) to account for the new packs, and gave each generation a color, a story and some unique goals to complete. Just for me, because apparently the challenge wasn’t hard enough already, I also added some additional (optional) goals to the first 10 generations. I tried very hard to keep the spirit of the challenge intact, and to change as little as possible for the first ten generations out of respect for the original challenge. Anyway, I hope you like this! (I, for one, have had a blast playing this rule set!)

Yes! That’s right! This whole challenge is getting a facelift! I’ve acquired a partner who is (as we speak) working on putting together a WEB-BASED free tracking system for ALL of my challenges. The Extended Not So Berry is just the first of many to be added to her website. (See the main Website News page for more info on this partnership if you’re interested!) Every Single generation here will be added to a tracking website, where you can register with a free account to track your Extended Not So Berry Challenge. And you DID read right! My ENSB is now 45 generations of drama and color-coded fun! As soon as I get it all updated and put on the website, each generation will have its own little section, split up by goal type, labelled as to what packs you need, and – the best part – LINKED to the tracking website from my partner, Calendula Petals.
Not only that, but these pages are going to change fairly heavily in looks, as well. I’m calling this new version a full 2.0, after all.
