The Sims 4’s standard gameplay can be dull and repetitive, but the game’s many fascinating challenges make it far more engaging and interesting.
The “Rags to Riches” challenge is a popular option in The Sims. What follows is a brief synopsis of all you need to know about this fun The Sims 4 challenge.
We will explain everything from the rules to the primary objectives to the guidelines. Enjoy!
What Is The “Rags To Riches” Challenge In The Sims 4?
The Sims 4’s “Rags to Riches” challenge, or “R2R” for short, is a lot of fun. The goal is for your Sim to start out poor and become wealthy.
You’ll need to help your Sim with certain big-picture objectives like those listed above if you want to see them through to completion.
Each of these Main Goals has its own set of rules that your Sim must follow before moving on to the next. As for the specifics of these regulations, we’ll get to that down the road.
How To Start The Challenge
In the Sims 4 game, the Rags to Riches challenge requires you to begin with nothing.
There should be nothing in it. Okay, but how? Two methods exist for accomplishing this: the “money 0” hack code or the Move Household menu item.
To begin, open the cheat console and enter “testing cheats on” or “testing cheats true” followed by “money 0”. When you use this hack, any existing Simoleons will be removed and replaced with 0.
The second choice is to have your Sim join an already existing family and then split from that family to relocate to a new lot.
It is important that your Sim has enough Simoleons to purchase the lot it will be relocating to, plus one more Simoleon just in case.
R2R Challenge Rules And Guidelines
- In order to progress toward the Primary Objectives, you must first finish the matching Mandatory Requirements.
- There will be no tolerance for cheating or the use of hacks to make the task easier. Cheat codes can only be used to reset your Sim, remove all of their possessions, or move things.
- In the game, the Sim’s age and life expectancy were under your control.
- Put your Sim on the priciest empty lot you can find and sell off all of their things.
- Without accomplishing the Main Goals and the Mandatory Rules, your spouse cannot make or earn Simoleons.
- Until you have finished the required steps for constructing a house, you will not be able to access your Sim’s land.
- If you don’t have a place to call home, you should seek out public beds or stay with a friend.
- It’s acceptable to prepare meals and eat them in restaurants and at friends’ houses, but you can’t take any leftovers with you.
- Any Simoleons acquired through side activities are forfeit.
