ASYLUM CHaLLENGE
Welcome to one of the best challenges out there... the "ASYLUM CHALLENGE".
[CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN: ..... A link directly to this challenge ( which should begin with: http://sims4challengesrules.blogspot.com ) must be displayed on any page you post this... even in a Youtube description.

*********************************
INTRO
*********************************
You have been committed to a run down mental health facility against your will. In order to prove that you are fit to rejoin society and earn your freedom, you must achieve the goal your psychiatrist has set for you – COMPLETE 2 SKILLS while living in house full of 7 other crazy Sims that you aren't allowed to to control or help in any way.
O.k.!..
You need to achieve your goal as quickly as possible; complete your skills while staying happy and keeping the other 7 asylum inmates alive. Add to that budget cutbacks leading to a lack of decent furniture and limited supplies, and your task gets harder.
Starting Out- Step 1 (Creating The Sim You'll Be Playing.)
- Create your Sim in CAS.
- They must be a Young Adult.
- You may choose any traits you desire, but one trait must be insane.
- The skills you choose are up to you, but the "Handiness" trait can't be chosen.
Starting Out- Step 2 (The Other 7 Sims)
- Create 7 other Sims. They can be an Adult or Young Adult.
- All inmates must have Insane or Gloomy traits.
- Creating some opposite traits are advised to spice things up. (example: happy/evil).
INTRO (continued):
*********************************
- The 8 Sims cannot be related.
- You can't play the other 7 Sims.
(...You can't click on their picture, you can't play them or control them in any way. They cannot get jobs, and they cannot leave the Asylum. )
Starting Out- Step 3 (Building The Lot)
-Build the Asylum on a residential lot.
-Any design you like.
-It can be one story tall, or even multiple stories tall
-The design doesn't matter at all,but
-However, you can NOT use money cheats to build it (ex: Motherlode, Kaching).
*********************************

I like to translate this challenge to polish language, but I don't know what to write in "created by". I cant find blog author name. I always put links to oryginal texts and their authors names to credits, when I translate challenges.
I definitely appreciate that you want to translate this challenge.
As for credit, you can use the following:

Thank You Sincerely,

Thank u! <3 Soon I put translate of this challenge to my site ^^
Thanks again! Hope they like it.

I played this challenge through and I enjoyed it. It went really well for me. No one died and I finished on Specialist. The most fun was actually creating the crazy sims.
A few things about this that bothered me:
1. In Step One and Two you say that the sim must be an adult and that the other inmates can be adult or young adult. Later on Rules you say that they must be young adult. I assumed this meant everyone. I decided the latter was true.
2. I wasn't sure if the decorations could be nice decorations that give a decorated moodlet (or whatever it's called in English). I tried not to buy ones like that.
3. Reserving objects really didn't come to play. The other sims were not interested in skill objects. I have no idea if this was just me. Maybe it would have been different with a computer.
4. I wasn't sure if I could take the bed from someone already sleeping in it. I ended up doing so. I felt a bit guilty about that.
These things are really minor and if you don't think these need to be addressed it's fine by me. I had much fun with this anyways. The main idea worked well. I liked these rules more than the ones I've previously seen for this challenge.
-GloriaWarrior
Thank you GloriaWarrior,
Congratulations on finishing this challenge on Specialist and I'm definitely happy that you enjoyed it (The Asylum Challenge is considered by many to be the best).
1. As for your Sim having to be an adult, that was my mistake (thank you sincerely for pointing that out... I'll be correcting that), and your instincts were right to follow the second one down that said "They must start as an Young Adult".
2. As for decorations, the rules do allow you to decorate in any way you like, so long as the decorations themselves, don't directly influence Sims. Which means, no items with moodlet changing abilities. Sims should only act the way they would normally act according traits you give them at the beginning of the challenge.
So you were right again.
3. As for the other Sims not being interested in skill objects. It wasn't just you, it happens like that when I play too... on a PC.
4. As for taking the bed from someone already sleeping in it, I play that way too...
...you were right to do so again.
I'm making the necessary corrections and clarifications to the challenge.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
RecipeSimmer
Thanks for answering so quickly! I'm glad if you found my comments useful. I'll definitely try the rest of your challenges too!
-GloriaWarrior
Thank you GloriaWarrior,
I really do appreciate that! Thank you for trying the rest of them. It really makes me feel like creating these are truly worth-while. Anyways, I've been thinking about maybe creating some more in the future. No promises though ;) .
By the way, I definitely try to answer comments as quickly as possible, but if I take a little longer in the future, please don't be mad at me.
I have a lot on my plate, especially with my main site 5stareasyrecipes.com .
Take a look at it, you might just like it, it's a "5 ingredient or less version" recipe site.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
RecipeSimmer
Hi, i'm not sure how long this has been up, but I would like to know if your allowed to gather and fish? It says for work and to walk around just not to not visit other sims. How ever there is nothing about gathering or fishing? lol I have been doing both but this is my fist challenge and I can stop if its against rules? I'm doing those both for money purposes and then of course selling art work as well.
Sorry to take so long in getting back to you on this question.
Your question is a very good one, so I did some research (even back to the previous original versions of this challenge) to come up with the best answer that still makes sense for this "Sims 4" version.
The answer:
Gathering, fishing, selling art work, and all other forms of making Simoleans is just fine (IS allowed), since they're for money making purposes... and bills must still be paid... even in the asylum.
So, it's o.k. and I apologize for not mentioning this in the rules already(so I'll add it to the rules now).
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
RecipeSimmer
I'm just wanting to let you know, the blogspot link comes up as a jubmle of code for me. I don't know if it's because Chrome or what, but I can't see it.
Hi Angel,
First, I'd like to say sorry for this happening, and I think your right about something going wrong in Chrome.
Solution 1: See what happens with this page in another browser (even on a phone, or ipad), if you can.
Solution 2: Another thing to try, is to go to the following page and scroll down to the Asylum Challenge post (simply copy and past it into the top of your browser window, and hit Enter on your keyboard).
Here's The Link:
http://sims4challengesrules.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
I hope one of the 2 solutions above work, but whether they do or don't, please still let me know here in the comments.
Good Luck,
RecipeSimmer
I am new to this but are we allowed a trash can?
Hi,
Don't worry, everybody's new at one time.
As for your question, yes, 1 "normal" trash can is allowed ["normal"... meaning it can't have any "extra" capabilities (mood enhancing capabilities, for example)].
I even added this above to the actual challenge rules. Thanks for asking!
Good Luck,
RecipeSimmer
Is the 2 double bed rule saying that I can only have 2 double beds period? No single beds?
Hi,
Unfortunately that's correct. 2 double beds makes it "challenging" for you to make Sims like eachother enough to sleep in the double beds together (else sleep on the floor... or in chairs). The good news is that 3 chairs are allowed (to start out with... although, you must delete them, per any sim that dies).
Thanks for asking,
good luck with the rest of the challenge
