    For those of you who are struggling, here's an extensive list of easy challenges:

    Getting level 5 in any job (including an extra challenge when you've got level 5 in them all)
    Level 10 in any skill (and an extra when you've got them all)
    Read every book in the general store (I highly recommend this, I believe there are 27, go to Dewey's discount books and buy everything in the 2nd tab, and an extra challenge when you've read them all)
    First kiss/woohoo/engagement/baby, if you have medical sims twins and triplets are fairly easy as well
    Catching perfect fish (can be done from as low as level 3 fishing with the 'get lucky' karma power)
    Using epic fail 13 times ON SOMEONE NOT IN YOUR FAMILY
    Attending each kind of town event once (look in newspaper check weekly events, one challenge per event, an extra one for attending all 6 and an extra one for going to 15 overall events)
    Moving house (start as Landgraab, you can afford to move instantly)
    Writing one of each kind of book (http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/skills/writing/book-t....php for details on unlocking each book, extra challenge if you can write every kind)
    Cooking each kind of meal perfectly once (better quality appliances really make a difference here, as does 'get lucky' karma power activation)
    One-time challenges: Meeting a ghost, starting a book, getting a job, starting a new house, hit 100 karma points, invite someone to your house, make a best friend, being mean 10 times, taking a class in anything, throw a birthday party, throw an awesome party of any kind (sounds harder than it is, just buy lifetime reward 'perfect host' and a stereo), watch a movie, buy a computer, watch a game at the stadium, finish the tutorial, start a painting, learn charisma skill level 1, go on a date, get a raise, complete any opportunity, buy a book from the store during a sale, getting a treatment of any kind at the spa, eat at a restaurant with another sim, buy a car, using any karma power,
    Getting an owner's deed to each business is a challenge, as well as another challenge for getting them all (Some are more expensive than others, e.g bistro and dewey's discount books are much cheaper than the science facility or the stadium, you also get one challenge and achievement just for investing in the warehouse)
    Teaching a toddler to walk, talk and use the potty are 1 challenge each
    Level 10 in any job/level 3 in any part-time job is also worth one challenge each
    Touring the military base, theatre, city hall and science facility are worth 1 each with an extra for the set
    Also at this point you should've fulfilled 100 wishes, which is worth 3 challenges (one for 10, one for 50 and one at 100)
