This challenge is inspired by the Greek concept of eudaimonia, the idea of "human flourishing" or living the best life possible. Although this challenge focuses on one individual sim, it is also a big undertaking and can involve the entire neighborhood. The idea is to pick one ordinary born-in-game sim and make him or her the “chosen one” who will fulfill not one, but all of the possible lifetime wants, and also become wordly by exploring all the corners of the game. I’m halfway through the challenge and so far it has been my most enjoyable experience of several years playing the sims.
You can use a hack or just use the aspiration reward to change their aspiration and reroll a different lifetime want. Since some of the wants, such as the golden anniversary one, are incompatible with other wants such as the romance ones that require a sim to have multiple partners, this challenge requires you to be careful about the order the wants are fulfilled, so for example you would have to fulfill the romance wants before you get married. As another example, it is advantageous to max the skills before you start building talent badges because it speeds the process, and it also helps to have lots of friends before college because then it makes building the greek house very easy. Below I included the plan for fulfilling wants that I have been using so far. The wants on the list are obviously quite arbitrary so they can be rearranged or adjusted as needed.
I like this challenge more than any other challenge because it makes it so you can make an ordinary sim into an extraordinary sim while still having freedom to expand on all the preexisting neighborhood storylines. I would discourage cheating for reasons of enjoyment but I don’t see any problem with using some hacks (I have one to change the number of customers allowed on a business lot, for example) or maxmotives to get the top level businesses.
