How To Complete The Sims 4 Not So Berry Challenge (Guide) 2024

The Sims 4 Not So Berry Challenge is one of the most fun and exciting challenges in the game because it’s a legacy challenge by lilsimsie and alwaysimming, and it has various quirky elements to keep you hooked. “Berry” refers to the sims who have colorful hair, eye color, and skin tone and wear matching outfits.

If you wish to complete this challenge, then you’d need the Get to Work, Get Together, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, City Living expansion, and Movie Hangout stuff packs. Let’s know more about it. 

Sims 4 Not So Berry Challenge Rules

This challenge isn’t ideal for beginners because your sim would spend all their time with a single family for 10 generations. Before we move on to more specifications about this challenge, here are some general rules that you must follow. 

• There are 10 generations, and each generation should represent that color in their clothing, hair, makeup, and so on. However, changing their skin tone to that color isn’t compulsory. 
• Your sim’s spouses aren’t part of this aspect, so it’s not necessary for them to follow the color scheme. 
• You can use money cheats in the game but to a limit. For instance, you can use the freerealestate cheat to get your first house and then play the game without cheats. 
• There’s no restriction as to where you live unless specified in that generation’s rules.
• In every generation, it’s vital to fulfill your heir’s aspirations and career goals unless told otherwise. 
• You should keep your sim’s lifespan to normal.

Features of This Challenge

There are several features apart from the ones we discussed, and they are as follows – 

Custom Content

You can enjoy this colorful and whimsical challenge even more with custom content that is available in all generational colors, such as hair, makeup, clothing, and so on. You can find them by searching for tags related to the Not So Berry challenge on websites or look for them in the Sims 4 gallery as well. 

Decorate your Lot Correctly

It’d help you achieve all the aspirations and skills that each generation requires if you plan your lot traits accordingly. For instance, if you’re playing the first generation and you’re a scientist, then you should decorate your house so that it looks like a scientific lair. This way, you can accomplish things faster, such as level up your logic skills and so on. 

Choose the Right Sims to Befriend or Make Enemies With

It’s always essential to choose the right sims to become friends or enemies with. For instance, in the first generation, your sim would have the mischief trait and would obviously make enemies, but they won’t have issues making fun of them. It’s always better to choose evil sims as your enemies because such sims don’t have any friends and hate everyone, so antagonizing them is fun. 

Conclusion 

This is all the information you should keep in mind while playing the Not So Berry Challenge. This challenge might seem like a lot; therefore, we don’t recommend beginners to try this challenge as their first. But there’s no doubt that this is one of the most intriguing and exciting challenges, and you’d feel the accomplishment once you complete it successfully.
