The Sims 4: How to Do the Black Widow Challenge

Getting Started

Obviously you’ll want to start by creating your black widow Sim. You have full control over creating this Sim as long as you make sure they have the jealousy trait. Move your Sim into a starter home but you’re not allowed to drop them off in an empty lot or use any cheat codes to move into a lavish home right away. Keep in mind that how you make money will ultimately be a very important part of this challenge. You are allowed to have aging on or off as you please. Full autonomy, however, must be set on. Once your Sim is all settled in their new home, you are ready to search for your first victim start dating.

General Rules

This is a complete list of all the rules and requirements you’ll want to keep in mind throughout this challenge.

• Your black widow Sim is not allowed to have a job (the next page will cover how to make money)
• You must have each Sim move in before getting married

• At least three of the five spouses must have the jealousy trait (you are allowed to use cheats to accomplish this)
• You must add to your home every time a new spouse moves in.
