I personally love BitLife challenges that follow the life of a celebrity, like Wild West and Blonde Bombshell. And the Wild West challenge does not disappoint at all, even going as far as to crack a harmless joke about names. This one’s all about Ye West, so obviously, music and rapping will be involved; in fact, you’ve got over half a dozen gold records to make. Ye’s done quite a bit in his life, and you’re not getting any younger.
How to Complete the Wild West Challenge in BitLife
[Updated August 15, 2024 – Rewrote instructions and added images for context.]
In BitLife, the Wild West challenge has five tasks for you, emulating a few broad strokes of Ye’s life:
- Be born a male in Chicago
- Become a famous rapper
- Have 9+ albums hit gold or higher
- Have children named North, South, East, and West
- Run unsuccessfully for president
The first part is easy-peasy. Your name doesn’t matter, although naming yourself “Ye” would be funny. Being born with a musical talent is a plus. You’ll know you have it if the text mentions something about having a knack for an instrument or dancing when you hear music. It’s not necessary, but it does make it easier down the road.
At 8 years old, start taking vocal lessons, which you’ll find in the Activities tab, under Mind & Body. Until you’re 18, it’s voice lessons every single year. When you’re 18, you can start pursuing a career as a musician under the Special Careers tab. Once you’ve been signed onto a record contract, choose rap as your genre.
Now you just have to release, at minimum, 9 gold records. It’s similar to the Rocket Man challenge, although gold records are far easier to get than platinum and diamond. You only have to sell 500,00 albums to get a gold record. I recommend releasing an album every year!
At the same time, you could be finding love and having four kids. You don’t have to be married, but it is a little easier if you have children with the same woman. Every time a baby is born, name them one cardinal direction, so you’ll have four kids named North, South, East, and West.
After you’ve made your 9 gold records, had four kids, it’s time to run for president. You can also do that from the Special Careers tab, under Political Offices. You’ll have to be, at minimum, 35 years of age and have left your career as a rapper.
To get yourself onto the ballot, it helps to enroll in university for your political science degree, law school, and running for city mayor or even as a school board director. You just need to make it onto the ballot, then bomb every random political event that pops up to keep your approval ratings low. With any luck, you’ll lose the race in BitLife with flying colors, and the Wild West challenge will be completed!
