The Sims 4 Bloom Challenge tasks you with playing out ten generations of a family, each one representing a different flower and needing to complete different targets to succeed. Challenges in The Sims 4 are a common feature in The Sims community, often used in 'let's plays' or in-between new pack releases. For more information on the Bloom Challenge and its rules, read here.

The Sims 4 Bloom Challenge takes place over eleven generations of a single sim family, much like the Decades or Not-So-Berry Challenges. Each generation has a set colour that you can incorporate through the sim's outfit choices, features, or house décor.

 

Each generation represents a different plant and will have garden-associated tasks to complete before the next generation is ready to take over the challenge.

Each new generation can either start with 1,000 simoleons or start from scratch in a Rag-to-Riches style playthrough.
