The following challenge is based on 15 Iconic Barbies and written for the Sims 4. Classics such as Solo in the Spotlight and Malibu Barbie are represented by aspirations, traits, careers, and skills from the Sims 4 (as of June 2024).
Each generation has a specific list of items to complete (max all levels), and should start their young adulthood with no more than $20,000 - anything the gen before earned can be donated to charity! (or cheated away.) You may use freerealestate on for buying or building your Barbie Dream Houses.
Skills not listed but required in-game for assigned careers and aspirations are necessary to complete. There are no rules about appearances, spouses, children, or pets, so be as imaginative and creative as you want! You can play strictly according to the guidelines, or add your own flare!
Needed for Gameplay - all Sims 4 Expansion Packs up to For Rent, Spa Day, Parenthood
Needed for optional gameplay: Outdoor Retreat, Bowling Night, Nifty Knitting, and Crystal Creations.
