The Sims 4: How to Do the Upgrowth Challenge

How to Get Set Up For The Sims 4 Upgrowth Challenge

Recommended Videos

In order to do the Upgrowth Challenge, you will need to have the following DLCs:

  • Get Together
  • Get to Work
  • Recommended but not required: City Living, Dine Out, Parenthood

You will start the challenge in Windenburg but keep in mind that this challenge also limits what areas of the map you’re actually allowed to use for certain things.

  • The section circled in yellow is reserved specifically for starting your family, placing your family home, creating homes for neighbors and placing other social spaces for your Sims.
  • The section circled in red serves as the “downtown core” where you can expand shops, restaurants, and any other public spaces. In the beginning, however, you will only be allowed to place four different buildings.
  • The section circled in blue is considered an extension of the residential area where you can add more homes and families. In the beginning of the challenge, however, this section will remain empty.
  • The section circled in green is considered a “subsection of the downtown area.” You will keep this space empty for several decades during the challenge.

In order to abide by these rules, however, you may have figured out that there will be some deleting involved. For this reason, it’s important that you start this mod on a completely separate save file. The concept here is that the world is supposed to grow and develop as you progress through the challenge, which means you will need to delete all the other homes and buildings taking up space on the map. The challenge creator also gives you the option of changing the appearance of certain Sims to match the starting decade of the challenge (1890s).

You are allowed to select any lot to move into as long as the lot is inside the yellow area of the map. You can also choose whether you want to start the challenge as a single Sim or as a couple, but if you start as a single Sim you will need to be a Young Adult male.

You will also be allowed to use money cheats to build your home but keep in mind that once the building is over, your money will need to be reduced to $1,000 for a single Sim and $2,000 if you start the challenge as a couple. If you also want to start the challenge with kids, you are allowed to give yourself a total of $3,000 but this number remains the same no matter how many children you start the challenge with.
