Sims 4 Scenarios – Live & Ongoing!
The feature of scenarios was added to The Sims 4 in a recent update titled patch 120. These scenarios consist of themed challenges that Simmers can select from the main menu. There, the description, requirements, and potential outcomes will be showcased. Here, Simmers have the option to play the scenario in a new or existing save file.
In patch 125, the Sims 4 updated the scenarios to show difficulty tags (easy, intermediate, and hard). Which is supposed to help Simmers choose a scenario that best suits their preference. So, what are these scenarios? Well, they are similar to challenge events, which were sometimes showcased in the game up until 2018. But, scenarios have a longer life span and provide Simmers with more choices.
Anyway, the Sims 4 currently runs a wide range of both live and ongoing scenarios. So, let us have a look at them, shall we?
