What Is The I’m a Lover Challenge?

Play through 10 generations in a legacy style challenge of different “lover” type characters in this fun challenge updated for The Sims 4 by DramatiSim.

DISCLAIMER: This is a rework of The Sims 3 I'm a Lover Challenge by bestfrienemies14. She created this a few years back and I love this challenge so much I cannot wait for someone else to rework it for The Sims 4. The Legacy Rules do not have to apply to this challenge. It is up to you whether you want to play with heir rules (i.e. first born, males or females, etc.) You can move lots throughout the generations.
