The goal of the challenge is to have 26 children, with every child's name starting with a different letter of the alphabet, in order. Randomize their traits and aspirations, and move into a home with your starting funds. In the Alphabetacy challenge, you have one founder Sim (who can be any gender and appearance, as long as they can get pregnant). There are a couple different ways to approach the challenge, and some flexibility depending on what expansion packs you have.) There are variations where you can try to max out every career as well.Ī trip to the beaches in Sulani cures even the grumpiest Sims. You'll start with the Mischief aspiration, according to the rules. Set the lifespan to "long" and place them on an empty lot with 2,000 Simoleons. Start a new game and make a teen Sim (they can be human or alien, and any gender customization).
The official rules were posted by player ashleylainesims on Tumblr, including a backstory for your perfect Sim: Your Sims' motivation for wanting to be good at everything comes after the loss of their parents in an unknown accident.
The goal of the Perfect Sim challenge is to make one Sim who is good at everything - every aspiration and skill. You never realize how many skills there are until you have to get them all up to 10.

You can move the elderly matriarch out of the house when the youngest daughter has become a young adult. When the matriarch Sim becomes an elder, the youngest daughter takes over the challenge. After teens age into young adults, you can move them out of the house to make room for more kids. Infants can't be aged up until you get the notification that it's their birthday, toddlers can't be aged up until they reach level 3 in all skills (or it's their birthday), and children and teens can't age up until they have an A in school. The matriarch Sim can't have a child with the same Sim twice, and they must earn money without leaving the home (I find choosing a career as a painter or an author is most effective for this). There are variations to the rules (and a lot of them), but the gist of the challenge is for one young adult matriarch (though you can customize gender however you like) to have 100 children before they age up to an elder in the game. The 100 Baby challenge was originally created for the Sims 2 by a player who goes by the name Amiisays and reworked for the Sims 4 by Snarky Witch, who posted the official rules on their Tumblr. I admit my Sim kids were never this happy when I tried the 100 Baby challenge.
