9 Things The Sims 4 Has Ruined

5. The 'Challenges'

One of the worst aspects of The Sims 4 is the 'Challenges' most often posed in the Gallery. These can be a fun and very brief distraction, for example making the ugliest sim you possibly can and posting them to the Gallery for the whole community to see. But at the best of times, it feels like a desperate grab for people to utilize the Gallery feature. The 'Challenges' are not anything creative, and are often based on something Simmers have been doing for years on YouTube and within the player community like the 'Rags to Riches' and 'Breed Out the Ugly' challenges.

Most of the time they are easy to ignore, but the Millie Bobby Brown 'Positivity Challenge' was immersion breaking and intrusive into regular gameplay for a vast amount of players. Plus, having the famous actor and Stranger Things star mingling with the likes of Bob Pancakes is definitely something that shouldn't be happening.
