The Sims 4 allows players to build a perfect world and family where Sims can get jobs, earn Simoleons, marry, and even have kids. This traditional living style is the most common way to play the game and explore your creativity. However, if you want to tap into your dark side and pull off some tricky and mischievous moves, you must complete the Black Widow challenge.

The Black Widow challenge tasks players with seducing, marrying, and killing their spouses to steal their Simoleons. The challenge lets you play as a gold digger who preys on rich spouses and only marries them to kill. It’s tons of fun for Sims who want something more exciting and rewarding.

What is the Black Widow Challenge?

The Black Widow Challenge requires players to marry and kill 10 spouses and steal their money. Players who complete the challenge get awarded a trophy. The Black Widow Challenge has various rules a Sim must abide by, including:

  • Be a Young Adult.
  • Possess traits such as Materialistic, Snob, and Romantic. These personality traits make it easier to seduce spouses and get them romantically involved.
  • Set their aspiration to The Serial Romantic.
  • Do not use Sims 4 cheats, including money cheats, since the player has to steal wealth from the dead spouse to make money.
  • Players are not allowed to use mods.
  • Players can only marry Sims who are single, meaning you can’t snatch a spouse from another Sim.
  • The Black Widow Sim can't work or have a job as all their earnings need to come from the dead spouse.
  • The Black Widow Sim can’t repair broken items. They have to replace them using Simoleons.

How To Complete The Black Widow Challenge

After creating the Black Widow Sim, move in and look for a single Sim to seduce. Build a romantic relationship until they propose and plan a wedding. Once you’re married, host a dinner party to show you’re the perfect wife/husband. You can do this by leveling up the Cooking and Charisma skills. Find another Sim to seduce and ensure you get caught cheating by your current spouse. You can bring them to your marital home and perform romantic acts in the bedroom.

After getting caught, it’s time to kill the spouse. The easiest way to kill them is to lock them in an empty room so they can starve to death. However, you can kill them in any way you wish. Bury them in the backyard and repeat the process until you kill 10 spouses.
