No matter how many hours you’ve put into The Sims 4, things can get a little stale when you’re unsure what to do next.

While this requires players to have enormous patience, skill, and strategy to complete, combining this challenge with the latest infant update can genuinely bring more color to your gameplay. So, if you’re ready to take on this challenge, ensure you know the rules and how to play The Sims 4’s 100 Baby Challenge with infants.
The Sims 4 100 Baby Challenge with Infants Explained
For the uninitiated, the 100 Baby Challenge involves having a single Sim have and raise 100 babies in their lifetime. It’s a huge undertaking and can take many hours of game time, which can be extremely rewarding if you can pull it off. That said, there are some restrictions that you’ll need to keep in mind when doing this challenge, such as you’re not allowed to use cheats or mods that can help your progress.
With the latest infant update, now you can just age your Sim’s babies to become infants and then raise them until they’ve reached young adult. At that point, you can move them out of your house. This is important because, without mods, the game only lets you have a maximum of eight sims in a single household. So, to make space for more babies, naturally, the older ones need to move out.
