I BROKE The Sims 4 One Tile Box Challenge

In today's chaotic rags to riches sims gameplay off the grid challenge, I’m trying to make things truly impossible! I've dragged our favorite degenerate ghost Sim Bert Burton to the back to the desert to tackle ‪@ambiguousamphibian‬'s classic 1 Square Start. AGAIN! But this time, we’re living off the grid!! I've made the one tile challenge as difficult as possible, turning on simple living, lowering all of Bert's needs, giving him outdoorsy traits, and adding a second, no good, very bad sim to Bert's box. Will Bert survive this concrete case of torture? Will Bert and Geoffrey fall in love? Will I, as the Sim Overlord, stay sane while turning a 1 tile house into a Sims homestead during this experiment on hard mode? Watch this let’s play already to find out!


Want to try this challenge yourself?

Sim Rot Rules:

1. Turn on EVERY lot challenge

2. You can only start the challenge when your sim is 24 hours from starving to death

3. You can only make money from a skill once your sim has mastered it

4. Give your sim traits that will make them hate the box (ie, loves the outdoors, etc.)

5. (Optional, but so very fun) Add an NPC sim with traits and aspirations that your other sim will hate! In my challenge I made one sim a loner and the other lazy, cringe, and looking for his soulmate. You get the idea.

6. No “Always Needs a Snack Bag”! This is supposed to be impossible!

7. Say yes to every pop up. (They’re gonna hate photography, I guarantee it.)

8. No leaving the box!!! Until you’ve built a mansion or completed another asinine aspiration like master gardener.



I just learned from ‪@kelseydangerous‬ that this challenge has recently gone viral on TikTok, being called The 1 Tile House challenge and was very popular on YouTube a few years back when people asked: Can I Beat The Sims In A 1 Tile House while playing The Sims 4 base game only? This is a rags to riches on hard mode!
