The Sims 4 boasts plenty of difficult challenges, and the Zodiac Challenge is one that can take quite a long time. This task is based on the Legacy Challenge, but each generation represents a Zodiac sign or its most recognized stereotypes. It will require much time, effort, and creativity to produce the descendants to fulfill the 12 generations.
The Sims 4: Zodiac Challenge General Rules
This challenge is very flexible in its rules, allowing Mods such as MC Command or UI Cheats to fulfill some requirements. Custom Content is ultimately permitted if it does not give any advantage. For the same reason, money cheats are not allowed. You can only lose the challenge if you don’t complete one of the goals for the generation or if the generation does not produce an heir.
