Default My version
Thanks for making this! I've seen the Not So Berry Challenge all over YouTube and have been wanting to try it so I'm so happy to have found your Sims 3 version <3

Since I have a couple of Expansion packs that I haven't fully explored I decided to make my own spin on your rules so that I could do what the Not So Berry Challenge is supposed to do: take you out of your box and make you play The Sims in ways you haven't done before. I've changed and tossed things around but I thought I'd share what I've come up with in case others would be interested

This hasn't been play-tested tho, so it's very possible that traits or Lifetime wishes aren't available, you can use the Lifetime rewards that changes LTW and Traits, or use cheats or just simply substitute with whatever you see fit ^^

Thank you for responding with your own twist involving some of the expansions! The main reason I avoided using any in my version was because not everyone will have any expansions, and so I wanted to make it enjoyable for everyone! I, for one, was a little disheartened when I saw that there wasn't a Sims 3 Adapted one, and even more so when I saw that the Sims 4 Version had a lot of expansions involved. As a fifteen year old, I still can't buy that many expansions and so I wanted to give my idea adaptation to everyone that has Sims 3, and not just people with expansions! I love what you have going for your adaptation of mine, however, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to do this, as having done it myself, I know how long it takes! I'm sure many people will appreciate it! I hope that one day, someone will take it a step further and make it a challenge that can be done with rules for every expansion, and a Base Game one for Sims 4.
