To play the Not So Berry Challenge, you’ll simply need to open your game and create your “Founder” sim, the one that’ll start your Not So Berry dynasty.

You can also play according to lilsimsie’s rules, the famous Sims YouTuber who invented this challenge and made it viral. Here are all the Not So Berry Challenge original rules:

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Each sim’s lifespan should be normal.
Each heir must represent the color of the generation, but brightly colored skin isn’t necessary.
The colors of the spouses don’t matter.
You can use Money cheats but not excessively, and you can even use freerealstate cheat for your Founder’s home.
You can live in any available neighborhood.

Your “Founder” in the Not So Berry Legacy challenge will be the sim inspired by the color mint, so when creating them in Create a Sim (CAS), make sure to choose mint clothing, hair, makeup, or tattoos. You have to also use the Vegetarian, Jealous, and Materialistic Traits for your sim personality.

You can use any CAS item, as long as it is mint-colored in The Sims 4.

Your Mint sim should be an eccentric scientist who loves practical jokes. While they are highly ambitious in their career, they also love going out with their close-knit circle of friends, eating vegetarian meals, and decorating their homes with mint-colored luxury art.
