Setup Guide
How to Install
Setting up Challenge Mode is easy. Just grab the core framework, pick your modules, and make sure script mods are enabled.
Installation Steps
1
Download Challenge Mode Core
The Core is required for all challenge modules to run.
2
Extract to Mods folder
Place the `.ts4script` and `.package` files inside: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
4
Place modules alongside the core
Extract the module files into your Mods folder. Do not place script files more than one folder deep.
5
Enable Script Mods
In the game, go to: Game Options → Other → Enable Script Mods. Apply changes.
6
Launch Game
Restart The Sims 4. The Challenge Mode system will now load on your next save.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Zip not extracted: You must extract the .zip files. The game cannot read .ts4script from inside a zip.
- Too many nested folders: Script mods (.ts4script) will not load if placed deeper than one subfolder within your Mods directory.
- Script mods disabled: Ensure both Custom Content AND Script Mods are enabled in game options.
- Version mismatch: Using an old core framework version with a new module. Always check minimum requirements.
Requirements
- ✔️ The Sims 4 Base Game
- ✔️ Game Version 1.100+ or newer
