What is The Sims 4 Very Veggie Legacy Challenge?
The Very Veggie Legacy Challenge was created by Lilsimsie, the same simmer behind the well-known and iconic Not So Berry legacy challenge. Last week, she launched this veggie-themed legacy as part of her Annual Twitch St. Jude Charity Fundraiser (more on this later!), bringing a playful tone to a deeply meaningful cause. This challenge isn’t just about gameplay, it is about enjoying The Sims 4 in a way that feels joyful, silly, and community-driven!
At it’s core, this is a Rags to Riches style legacy challenge. This means you move into a lot, start with $0. From there, each generation is themed after a different vegetable. Each generation has its own unique colors, traits, aspirations, and goals that reflect each vegetable’s vibe. The overall goal? Have fun, get weird, and genuinely just have fun.
How the Challenge Puts a Fresh Spin on Legacy Gameplay
As a longtime sims player (AKA a simmer), I always find that a new legacy challenge breathes life into my game, and the Very Veggie Legacy Challenge is no exception. Lilsimsie has done it again with her talent for creating challenges that are equal parts engaging and entertaining. The legacy-style rules are grounded in story-telling, and yet lighthearted enough to feel like a game within the game.
Take Generation 2, for example, your sim has to wear an eggplant costume for every outfit. Yes, and even sleepwear. It’s weird, it’s specific, and it’s absolutely hilarious.
Lilsimsie continues to set the bar high for fun, playable legacies. Whether you’re a storytelling simmer, or just love a structured playthrough, this challenge brings plenty of laughs and surprises.

Why Simmers are Loving the Challenge, and its Meaning Behind It
Part of what makes this challenge so meaningful is its origin story. Every year, during the month of May, Lilsimsie hosts a St. Jude Twitch Fundraiser, a month-long campaign that has raised over $2 Million dollars since beginning the campaign years ago.
St. Jude’s Research Hospital, based in Memphis, TN, USA, provides free treatment, housing, and food for children and families battling life-threatening illnesses. Families never receive a bill, and the hospital is funded entirely by donations.
