The Sims 4 contains abundant content after 11 years, many expansions, and DLC, providing numerous activities but sometimes leading to repetitive play. Community challenges offer alternate rule-based objectives that change goals and player behavior and inject renewed variety into gameplay. The 100 Baby Challenge requires a family to produce 100 offspring who age into adults while only one person—the matriarch—can be pregnant at a time. Each baby must age to young adulthood before moving out, and a child assumes the matriarch role when the current one can no longer have children. Many rules and DLC-specific variations exist, and similar challenges appear in older Sims titles.
The Sims 4 has a lot of content; there's no debating that. After 11 years and dozens of expansions and other DLC, there's no shortage of stuff to do in this game. But for most folks, playing house the normal way eventually gets old. You've played the way EA wants you to play, you've found a pretty solid stable of mods you like, and now you wanna try something new. It's time to dabble in some community challenges.
Perhaps the most well-known Sims community challenge is the 100 Baby Challenge, in which players are tasked with having 100 offspring that grow into adults from a single family in as few generations as possible. But the twist is that the family can only have one person who gets pregnant at any given time--the matriarch, as it were. The challenge requires each baby to age up normally until they reach young adulthood, at which point they can move out, making room for new babies.
And when the matriarch becomes too old to have children or dies, another child will take over as matriarch. The ultimate goal is to reach a hundred babies while going through as few different matriarchs as possible. There are a huge number of rules involved with this challenge, including many that factor in DLC. And there are variations for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 as well.
