Although Sims 3 has endless possibilities, after a while the general game play of making a Sim, ranking them up in their career, having children, repeating the cycle can get boring. This article contains some fun fan-made in game challenges for you to try if you have the Sims 3 base game for PC.
Things You Should Know
- Create a Sim with unusual, negative, or extreme traits and make them interact with other characters.
- Focusing on earning enough money to buy every community lot within Sunset Valley.
- Complete every challenge or opportunity that pops up for your Sim.
Steps
-
Mess with traits. Make a Sim with "hates the outdoors" trait and force them to stay outside. Make a couple who have conflicting traits (example Sim 1 has the "slob, couch potato, hates the outdoors, unflirty and heavy sleeper" traits and Sim 2 has the "neat, athletic, loves the outdoors, flirty and light sleeper" traits. Move them in together in a small house, see how long they last.
-
Hate everyone. Make a Sim who has traits such as evil and hotheaded. Make them visit public places such as the park and make them argue with everyone. Try to make them enemies with as many people as possible.
-
Have a secret lover. Make a Sim with traits such as flirty and good kisser. Try to make them have a romantic relationship with every possible male/female Sim within the town. See how long it takes before they get caught out.
-
Make best friends. Make a Sim with traits like good and friendly. Try to make them be best friends with everyone in the town.
-
Make devils. Devils have red skin, which you can change by clicking the circle near the skin tone meter and experimenting with different tones of red! It is easier to make a male devil as they have a choice of spiky hair.
-
Make zombies. Look around the graveyard for people who have died and make an evil and green skinned Sim! Give them the same name as any dead Sim of your choice, and you can even make a family of zombies!
-
Make Grim Reapers. Get black skinned Sims and give them black clothes for everyday, formal, sleepwear, athletic and swimwear.
-
Monsters from Greek Mythology. This can be really fun! If you're making Medusa and the Gorgons, don't forget to place lots of Medusa Victim sculptures in their house.
-
Try recreating characters from games you like. Steve from minecraft is simple, just give him a cyan shirt, blue trousers, grey shoes, purple eyes and brown hair for all outfits.
-
Create werewolves. Give them the Neurotic trait as freaking out will look perfect when howling at the moon or meeting normal human Sims.
-
Final tip: It's best if you give any of these Sims the Evil trait (unless it's Steve or another passive mob from Minecraft) because most of these Sim ideas are evil ones. Have fun with your new Sims!
-
Make a ghost of every colour. Find as many different ways to kill your Sims thus making a multi-coloured graveyard in your garden. Try your best not to cheat with this one, although it can be quite hard to kill Sims in this game.

-
Make a homeless family. Make a family of Sims, all with the kleptomaniac and mooch traits. Make them look scruffy (make them barefoot for example). Move the family into an empty lot. Make them sleep on park benches or at a neighbour's house. When they visit people's houses make them use their showers and eat their food.
-
Make a dysfunctional family. Make a huge family and make their children fight with each other and make their parents lazy. See if they can successfully raise their kids.
-
Ruin lives. Play as one of the pre-made families that are already living in Sunset Valley. Pick one of the richer families who have good jobs and a nice house. Make them get fired from their job and take away all of their money. Watch them suffer as their belongings get taken away.
-
Create a supersize vs super skinny couple. Make a supersize sim and make them marry a super-skinny sim. You could give the supersize Sim traits such as heavy sleeper and couch potato, give the superskinny sim the opposite. You could even mix it up and make the superskinny sim the lazy couch potato and the supersize sim athletic.
-
Create one adult, seven toddlers. This is extremely challenging, but make 1 parent with traits such as family orientated and good (this will make the challenge easier). Make 7 toddlers within the household. See if the adult can look after and raise all 7 toddlers without any been taken away by the social worker.

-
Make the game extra long. Change the game settings so that your Sim has the longest life. Make a couple have a baby and play as that baby. Your Sim can only age up at the end of each life stage - so no throwing a birthday party 3 days into their childhood! See if you can play as your Sim from birth to death using the longest life setting.
-
Change the game settings so that your Sim has the shortest life. Make a couple have a baby as play as that baby. Your Sim can only age up at the end of each life stage, don't cheat and turn off aging! See if you can play as your Sim from birth to death using the shortest life setting. See if you can marry them and get job level 10 and see how fast you can do so, even though its hard.

Make a story. Create some unique Sims and turn their life into a dramatic story with love affairs, deaths and parties!

Make a video. The Sims 3 allows players to record gameplay, so why not make your own video? Create a music video to your favourite song or make yourself star in your very own movie!

QuestionCan a human Sim and a ghost Sim have babies? My female ghost is pregnant, and my male Sim is broken. He stays outside and can't move.Scardox AlienCommunity AnswerYes. I tried it and got one ghost baby and a human baby, who got taken away by the social worker because I tried to turn it into a ghost, too.

QuestionDoes a challenge to make a male SIM with a wife try to get every woman in town pregnant sound like a fun challenge?Rosie RCommunity AnswerYes, and you could also try to not get caught to make it more challenging. Imagine the family tree...
-
QuestionCan I start a game with a full household? I've never tried and I'm curious.Community AnswerYes. They will be very high-maintenance, but otherwise, it's totally achievable. I recommend older Sims (like teenagers and adults), though, because toddlers and babies can get hard to take care of. But if you must make toddlers, then I recommend starting with maybe just one toddler.
