The Sims 4: How to Do the Not So Berry Challenge

If you’ve been wanting to try out a new experience in The Sim 4, you can explore one of the many challenges that have been established by countless fans. In particular, the Not So Berry challenge is one of the most popular storylines in the community, which was created by YouTuber LilSimsie and alwaysimming Sim member. So, if you want to participate in this generational timeline, we’ll explain the general rules and requirements.

What Is The Sims 4 Not So Berry Challenge? Answered

The Not So Berry challenge requires you to color code 10 generations through cosmetics and complete various tasks during their lifetimes. Every heir will represent a distinct color, starting off with mint and ending with blue. For example, if you are currently in the Yellow generation, you must customize your Sim’s hair, outfits, and makeup with the corresponding designs.

Before we get into the requirements of each lifetime, you’ll need to follow these general rules throughout your family’s entire legacy:

• Customize your heir with a specific color (spouses are not required.)
• Money cheats can be used to a certain extent (especially during the beginning.)
• Each generation must complete their career and aspiration goals with their heir.
• The Sim’s Lifespan section must be set to ‘Normal.’
• You are free to move around unless a particular generation states otherwise.

Now that you know about the rules of the challenge, you’ll need to follow a set of guidelines to achieve this legacy objective. Keep in mind that once you finish the requirements for the heir, you can move on to the next phase and change the color of your Sim’s appearance to match the following set.

As you may expect, each generation will affect the next one based on various lifestyles, so you can establish your own storylines or look over LilSimsie’s pre-made narratives. Those who don’t see a particular trait for their Sim may need to purchase an add-on to unlock characteristics. For example, the Squeamish trait is only available through the Outdoor Retreat pack.

If you happen to miss out on an objective, you can establish your own rules to get through the rest of the cycle. There aren’t necessarily any penalties for these unachieved tasks, and you can always try again in the next generation.
