Hunger Games Challenge Rules
The Hunger Games Challenge, created byIm-Not-A-Ro-boton The Sims 4 Reddit, is a fourteen-generation legacy challenge that takes you through all the districts of Panem, including the Capital. Each generation comes with its own set of goals and rules like other legacy challenges but with the added difference ofThe Reaping, which could draft your Sim into the Hunger Games.
When your Sim ages up into a teen, they’ll be able to be reaped for the games. You’ll need touse a random number generator and pick a number to see if they get reaped. If it lands on the number you picked, your Sim will be entered into the Hunger Games. Then, you’ll pick another number and roll the generator. If it lands on the number you picked, your Sim survives.
If you have the Seasons pack installed, you can set up a reaping holiday to run the generator on. If you have Get Famous, when your Sim wins the games, you can cheat fame to raise your Sim to a three-star fame level.
Different districts havebetter chances of survivalandbetter chances of not being reaped. The Capital is the only generation where you don’t need to roll the generator, as Capital kids aren’t reaped.

World Famous Celebrity (must complete aspiration)

But, don’t neglect that goal in the pursuit of fame. This Sim can also have as many children as they’d like, so long as they’re all enrolled in an after-school activity.
Military, Secret Agent, or Detective

This Sim, unlike the previous generations, isvery friendly and outgoing. They care about making friends and traveling as much as they can. However, tragedy strikes when they lose their first spouse, like Annie loses Finnick in the books. The District Four Sim is tough and is able to live a good life and get remarried.
For this generation,focus entirely on the Fishing skill and making friends. While your Sim is out at fishing spots, they’re able to meet plenty of other Sims to interact with.
