Sometimes I like doing a wheel of fortune that picks my sims dress style, aspiration, traits and starting funds. Also I’m here for enemies to lovers trope.

10:30 i actually had an evil spellcaster Sim who had a roommate she kept on killing and resurrecting over and over just so she can woohoo with the grim reaper 💀

I used to play this household called "House Sanctuary" which was basically meant to be like, a government thing for teens from troubles backgrounds. It had eight teen sims, each with a negative trait (yknow, trauma) and theyd go to school and also juggle a part time career to pay for the relatively big house (the part time job was like part of their "rehabilitation, it was a lot of make believe) but it was fun and challenging.

So, I recently wanted to do something different, as I normally play legacy family style, so I made a male YA sim and made him try for a baby with any female sim that he could find in his neighbourhood (decided he wasn't allowed to leave home lot). Once a female sim had a child, he could call them and try again as long as there was room in the female sim's household! With aging set on normal, by the time he died of old age, he had 331 kids! Played as one of his kids for a few more days to allow for any pregnancies to come to fruition, and his total number was 345! It broke the family tree!

Currently playing a game where my Sim found a baby on her doorstep. She lives in a very, very tiny house with a dog so she decorated the hallway to look like a nursery and she's determined to raise this child (she has a feeling that the kid *might* be her runaway sister's son but she's not sure)

For the runaway teen thing, what I did that was really fun was move into an apartment, get rid of everything but the counters and basic items that would come with an apartment.
Then give them like 100 bucks and have them work for household items without having to worry about showers or toilets but still having challenges

recent storylines ive played that im obsessed with:
- ugly duckling to hottie
- developing an evil origin backstory starting from a toddler
- tragic backstory = jaded and angry, but through the power of friendship, becomes good! (using this for country living and it)

I had a sim fall in love with the grim reaper. But I didn't want her to kill Sims. She had the good trait. So I built a retirement home and had her live there as the carer. So whenever an elder died grim would come. It was almost like they were coworkers.

I created a challenge based on one of my favorite classic films, "Sunset Blvd." It basically entails taking a Sim who is an adult who was once a famous actress, but is now older, and very few people remember her and trying to get her to the top of the fame ladder by the time she dies. It's difficult because you start in the adult life stage. There are some bonuses, though. You start as a one-star celebrity and you have some acting and charisma to start out with but you can only make money through the career and through tips (if you have your sim play an instrument on the side). If they get married, the spouse cannot work. It was so hard but so rewarding. I wrote rules and everything.

I honestly really love the single mom/dad/parent vibe, or the older sibling raising their younger sibling. I even experimented with an aunt raising her sisters daughter with the new interior decorator career. Having them struggle raising a child alone is weirdly fun🤣

[gramma]

I'm a senior simmer as in over 60 and pretty new to the game. I have played 2 of the scenarios from your list. Black widow and multiple children but I have to try all around the world not just in my town. The most I've had is 22 children. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for playing this way but I love it. Oh yeah and my Black widow only marries elder sims. Easer to kill off.

I had a paranoid genius guy in the get-to-work science career. Aside from him being a stereotypical mad scientist at the top of his field, my other goal was to get him preggers. It took one potion of youth and thirty-two abductions before he got his bundle of joy. The next goal is to find the child's mother.

i'm not bored with the sims 4, i'm just bored because the sims team haven't fix the simulation lag and the slow loading screen issue for ps4 yet but these suggestion u made in the video are really good to do in the sims.

I played with a father and his kid. The mother and kid had died in a fire, but the kid came back as a ghost. The father decided to move to Glimmerbroke become a spell-caster to try and revive his kid. So he’s gotta level up in the spell caster system while also taking care of his kid and getting them enough money to afford everything. The child wants to get friends and live as a normal kid as much as they can, but it’s pretty hard since they’d transparent and spooky. I had a lot of fun with it, and maybe some of you guys will too!

[WhatevsRiles]

For the first idea: SEVEN kids is a lot! I played as a single young adult dad with triplets, no cheats, having to build a house on a budget and it was a very fun challenge!

[EllieValentineWong]

I’m currently doing one where I make generations and generations of sims starting from the Victorian era

[ev_r]

Thank you Taylor! I've been quite bored with the sims recently so this is perfect!

[OrlandoBrony]

Something I've been doing is a childhood friends to lovers trope. Basically I'm making two Sims become best friends at childhood, and then when they age up into teens or young adults, that's when they start flirting. It's a nice way to slowly develop a Sims 4 couple.

[pancake-queen]

my sim, Helen Dill Pickle, is currently on the way to becoming most-hated citizen in Oasis Springs. She loses a lot of the fights she starts, but I bought her a punching bag so she's improving :)

I like the decades legacy challenge you start in the 1890 or you can start earlier and make up your own rules for the decade. As the challenge progresses through the different decades it feels like time is progressing and its pretty fun
