How to play the Not So Berry Challenge

To play the Not So Berry Challenge, you’ll simply need to open your game and create your “Founder” sim, the one that’ll start your Not So Berry dynasty.

You can also play according to lilsimsie’s rules, the famous Sims YouTuber who invented this challenge and made it viral. Here are all the Not So Berry Challenge original rules:

• Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• Each sim’s lifespan should be normal.
• Each heir must represent the color of the generation, but brightly colored skin isn’t necessary.
• The colors of the spouses don’t matter.
• You can use Money cheats but not excessively, and you can even use freerealstate cheat for your Founder’s home.
• You can live in any available neighborhood.

Not So Berry Generation One: Mint

Your “Founder” in the Not So Berry Legacy challenge will be the sim inspired by the color mint, so when creating them in Create a Sim (CAS), make sure to choose mint clothing, hair, makeup, or tattoos. You have to also use the Vegetarian, Jealous, and Materialistic Traits for your sim personality.

Your Mint sim should be an eccentric scientist who loves practical jokes. While they are highly ambitious in their career, they also love going out with their close-knit circle of friends, eating vegetarian meals, and decorating their homes with mint-colored luxury art.

• Master the Scientist career.
• Master the Mischief and Logic skills.
• Complete the Chief of Mischief aspiration.

Not So Berry Generation Two: Rose

Your second-generation Sim has to grow up like a spoiled child but is also highly ambitious and career-driven. You should tune your Rose sim with the red color and use the Hot Headed, Snob, and Romantic Traits.

The Rose Sim has to have multiple romantic relationships, even though they get to know their soulmate early in their life. However, they’ll only get to marry them during their golden years, after having a disastrous wedding ceremony where they leave their fiance at the altar.

The fifth generation must definitely be an indecisive oddball, trying everything at once and mastering most of them.

Your Pink Sim dream will be to write romance novels and become famous, but they are too afraid of quitting their 9 to 5 job to do so at the beginning.
