I've been working on a Notion template for The Sims 4: Decades Challenge for quite a while. I'm still building & beta-testing for now, but please let me know if this is something you might be interested in! Feel free to suggest other Sims 4 challenges that might benefit from a Notion spread, too. ☺️

We made it to the twentieth century!

"The early 20th century was an era of business expansion and progressive reform in the United States. The progressives, as they called themselves, worked to make American society a better and safer place in which to live. They tried to make big business more responsible through regulations of various kinds. They worked to clean up corrupt city governments, to improve working conditions in factories, and to better living conditions for those who lived in slum areas, a large number of whom were recent immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many progressives were also concerned with the environment and conservation of resources." - Library of Congress

📌 The Sims 4: Decades Challenge

We made it to the 1900s and we finally have a male heir: Oliver Thornwood. 🍼

Are there any Sims challenge rules that you tend to.... challenge?

I have played the Decades Challenge before. I studied Art History in college, so this challenge always draws me back in.

For this run, I'm focusing less on replicating oppression and more on world-building, legacy, and lore.

So... what does that look like? Dracula was first published in the Spring of 1897. I'm thinking of using the Vampires pack to create a Vampire Sim and a Gothic house that capture how people in the 1890s imagined vampires to be. 🧛🏻
