Your parents were never home, and always seemed to have secrets. You bond with your nanny instead of them, and they teach you the value of hard work, love, and caring for your family. When you grow up, the last thing you want to do is walk around with your head in the clouds like your parents, and you vow to be a practical, productive member of society. You move far away from your parents, and end up living in the mountains near a ski resort. You are recruited by a local corporation, and quickly find a place you can really excel. You meet a local, and swear that love at first sight exists. When you’re not at work, you spend the rest of your time building a lasting, loving relationship with both your spouse and your children.

You grew up in a loving and supportive home and were always pushed to be the best at whatever you tried.

After graduating, you threw yourself into your new career, and were quick to make yourself a success. The only thing left was success in your personal life. You approach this with the same logic, finding your spouse working at a local library because you’ll have something in common – a love of books.

Traits: Genius, Bookworm, Ambitious
Aspiration: Academic

Being the next generation to attend college was always expected of you. You tried to tell your parents that this simply wasn’t for you, but they wouldn’t hear of it. So, you went to college. You refused to live on campus, however, and you found an old house to rent. It didn’t occur to you to check the history of the house… until it was already too late. Unknowingly, you were drawn into the world of spirits – because this house was haunted. The entity that inhabited it wanted desperately to communicate… and you were the first target that was receptive to it’s pleas. As you got more and more interested in the arcane and trying to help this spirit, your studies suffered. Eventually, you quit college and launch a career as a paranormal investigator – to your parent’s chagrin. Despite their heavy disapproval, you forge ahead, becoming a success despite your parent’s misgivings. Eventually, you find a wife and start a family, but your heart remains in the spirit world, and your family life continues to suffer.

You love tinkering and building new things. However, your real love lies in the mountains. Your dream is to get to the summit, but hitting the snowy slopes is also in your idea of the perfect day. You move as close to the real action as you can get, and spend all your free time either in your workshop working on a robot to do all of your household chores, or out in the cold with your friends.

Maybe it was your magic talent that willed the world into existence, maybe it was already there, but one day after you left your magic and your magical family behind, you find yourself in a world you only dreamed of before. You are eager to explore, and want to learn everything there is to know about this new world. Fearing repercussions, you never tell your family or friends about what you’ve found, and simply explain your frequent disappearances from the real world as “extended vacations”. Everything you bring back from your travels is locked behind a basement door, and, although you found your spouse in Batuu, you forbid them from ever telling your child about that world, selfishly (or sheepishly) wanting to keep it to yourself.

Cinnamon is darker than shades like tan and beige but lighter than chocolate or true brown. Its warm undertones mean the hue can sometimes look red or orange-tinged. Web colors close in appearance to cinnamon include copper, caramel, russet and bronze. Browns like cinnamon are widely seen in nature and therefore the hue can also be connected with earthy qualities like strength and resilience. Because of its association with the spice, which is believed by some to have health benefits and features commonly in tea and other warming foods, cinnamon is especially likely to communicate rejuvenation and healing. But these shades of brown haven’t always been popular. Throughout history, the color has signified poverty—brown clothing was associated with the lower classes in ancient Rome, while Catholic monks wore brown robes as a symbol of humility during the Middle Ages. Modern opinion polls have found that brown is the public’s least favorite color and is often associated with hardship. However, cinnamon’s warm appearance is less likely to make that impression.

Rose is the color halfway between red, magenta and white, and the first recorded use of rose as a color name in English was in 1382. The etymology of the color name rose is the same as that of the name of the rose flower. Sometimes rose is quoted instead as the web-safe color FF00CC, which is closer to magenta than to red, or the web-safe color FF0077, which is closer to red than magenta.

A athletic slob who also happens to love music. No time for cleaning – but there’s always time for practice or an extra workout!

You’re very good at sports and you dream of becoming a professional athlete.

Being both still and emotionless, gray is strong and steady, making a feeling of cool and self-restraint, and alleviating you from a riotous world. It doesn’t invigorate, empower, revive, or energize. From a color psychology point of view, gray looks moderate, exhausting, dull, and discouraging. But at the same time, it looks exquisite and formal, yet never captivating.

A squeamish Geek who loves mixing music and learning more about computers.
You were caught hacking by a major tech company that then offered you a position in their firm. You know Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds? That’s you. You’re dedicated to your work, but that doesn’t stop you from going out and having a good time. You’re the kind of person that will be at a party at 3am and then at work at 6am.
Green symbolizes good health and it’s also a healing color as it offers a balance between our body and mind. It brings harmony. The color green is the color of nature, growth, freshness, energy, and fertility. There is a sense of togetherness in green that makes it the color of the unconditional love of family, nature, and the world. And because of that, it’s not surprising that green is generous. It gives away without expecting anything in return. Green, the fourth rainbow color, is a good listener. It loves to contribute to the harmony and growth of the community. It is calm, peaceful - a soothing color that helps ease anxiety and depression, which is why it is often used in color therapy.

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.
(more…)I love building. So it’s only natural that eventually I started writing build challenges, too. Most of my build challenges are month-long shell challenges that I tour live on my Twitch channel. However, you are more than welcome to pick and choose any of my old shell challenges to play whenever you like. If you upload it, and stop by my Twitch channel on a Sims day, I will tour it for free! I try to make all my shell challenges (or as many of them as possible) into brain puzzles, or thought experiments, so they are fun to play at any time. Check my Shell Challenges page to get more information on these.
I will point out that I also list one exception here. First Exception – my Winchester Mystery House adaptation. It’s MOSTLY about the build, but involves some game play.
(more…)My love of challenges is widely known… and with my overly creative mind, it only makes sense that, eventually, I would turn to writing my own challenges. It took a while for me to get up the nerve to actually write a fully original challenge. Being that those are not easy to write and test, many of the challenges I have written are ultimately inspired by another challenge. I try very hard to make sure to credit the original challenge writers (if I can find them) when I do a challenge – and have even gone so far as to get the writer’s permission to adapt their challenge for my use.
The first original challenge I actually wrote was my Apartment Switch Challenge, which, ultimately, was inspired by the Drifter Challenge, which is one of my favorite challenges of all time. That challenge took me months to write, and a couple years to fully test. It’s also the ONLY challenge I’ve written or edited that I have, ultimately, done a full test run on with both difficulties played. I’m working on testing the others, but I didn’t feel the need to make sure they were possible as much as the Switch.
After the switch, there have been others, and there are some that are in the works as I write this (as well as some others that are mere errant thoughts or ideas floating around my head). Therefore, this section will continue to grow. I will make every effort to describe the challenges on this page through the page excerpts to make it easier for you to pick out which, if any, you want to play yourself. I also split my challenges up between what I think are the two main types of challenges: build challenges and gameplay challenges. This should make it easier to figure out what the challenge will entail.
One final note: if you like one of my challenges, and find that you want to change or adapt the rules for yourself or others to play, I am 100% okay with that. All I ask is that you credit me in your write-up and maybe put a link to the original challenge instead of saying the whole thing was written by you. Beyond that, enjoy these challenges! If you have any questions or comments about any of them, feel free to post them!
(more…)Just a notice saying I’ve posted a new challenge that I will be playing on stream starting tomorrow. It’s called the Winchester Mystery House Challenge, and it’s a “short” build and game play challenge based on a REAL LIFE haunted house. Anyway, the challenge is now linked from the above menus and below.
Winchester Mystery House Challenge
The challenge is inspired by both the famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, and KaduMcFadu80’s Mystery Mansion Challenge on the sims forums. Basically, your job is to build a mystery mansion of your own. I include some gameplay in the challenge, however, feel free to ignore most of the gameplay by using money cheats instead, and just build each day. It is important to play the day in between each build time, though, because it gives you time to think about what to do next.
