Wait, also if you want the uncontrollable sims to have a job, are you allowed to go on the character profile thing?
@Jezzic4 - not sure what you mean by the character profile thing... I am doing the medium hard version and only 2 of the uncontrollable sims are permitted jobs and they have to be in the Criminal Career. Your main sim, the sim you control, can have whatever job they like (but there are some restrictions as well). When they are at their jobs, the only one you can have "work hard" is the one you control. I hope that answers your question.
Just to let you know the insane trait has been renamed as erratic. You should edit the thread so people don't get confused, aha.

Changes are expected to be rare or not at all. It is still a valid and entertaining challenge.
That is why several people have stepped up to answer questions and offer advice.
When packs, patches and other content is added to the game I would suggest each player decide what to use in this challenge.
I hope you are enjoying the game
I just started this challenge and have seasons. I have searched and can't find this anywhere. Can the house have a thermostat? or must they deal with the cold of winter and heat of summer? Thanks!!!
Did you know you can still have weather without it killing your Sims?
Go to options and the Seasons tab. Find "Enable Temperature Effects on Sims"
Untick (remove the check mark) this option to keep Sims from overheating or freezing to death.
I just started the challenge. My aspiration is culinary. I had to host a dinner party and earn the silver metal. I couldn't do it because i didn't have a bar to mix the drinks it asked for, and i didn't have a stereo for the others to dance which was also required. Are we supposed to know these things in advance or will it somehow all work out? I ended up buying a stereo and bar, then selling them once the party was done. I know it's cheating... so... i will probably start over. What aspiration can you do without buying extra stuff?
@mn84evr I agree with @EuphorialQueen, adding items needed to complete an aspiration or a career task is allowed in this challenge. The creator confirmed this somewhere in the thread, I can't find it though. I think what you did was fine, I did exactly what you did in my last play-through for this challenge. My Sim had the Body Builder aspiration, but I'd neglected to put two fitness pieces in the asylum at the beginning. I bought and placed another piece of equipment and once the game recognized he had two, I sold it.
I'll do the challenge in my own way! No points, no obstacles just a crazy nonsense asylum.
I ended up doing it and turning it into sim torture.... Locked in a room with only a fridge. I want to see who dies first (Don't ask why) The Delgato YAs came over so I imprisoned them with no fridge... I am sickening
I play on PS4! Otaku here! From the lands of Canada 🇨🇦
Haha, you clicked, now you have to read all my Sword Art Online fan fiction!
Thank you very much @EuphorialQueen and @Karababy52. I was trying to read through all of the posts in this thread... but there are a LOT, and didn't get through it all.
Also... What do you all do while your main sim is at work?? Do you just fast forward through watching the other asylum patrons walk around?
@mn84evr You're welcome! Personally, I don't fast forward while my controlled resident is at work. I like to watch what the other residents do, it can be very entertaining. lol That's one of the reasons I love this challenge and have completed it 3-4 times now on all levels.

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I did this as a Sims 2 challenge, way back in the day and have been bored with Sims 4 since it came out so I just remembered this challenge and when to make my insane sims and could not find the trait anywhere so I came back here to see if anyone had addressed the issue and rather than having to read through 5 years worth of pages, I flipped to the last and found your post. Thanks again for taking time out of your day to come here and be helpful to others, like me, who haven't played in a while. Ignore the negative person who replied to you, her response was completely unnecessary and unhelpful. Obviously not a person with any empathy or ability to put themselves in others' shoes, as you were. Thanks again, appreciate your post!

If you play with mods, Bienchen83 has mods that will make the sims change clothes and athletic wear act as winter clothing ThermostatOutfitTweak & TemperatureAthleticOutfitFix
Hahaha I started this challenge today because I had been wanting to for a while and I thought it'd fit quite well into this save. But I'm lol'ing so hard at this
This is my sim, Elysa Romanov:
And the reason I had to laugh so hard earlier is due to the commotion to get to the only toilet. The sim here in the back had literally been wating forever and every other sim just went in before him, so by this time he was clearly barely holding it in anymore
@SimTrippy - Yes, in my story, we had the "looscapades" the very first day, too. Elysa looks so serious!
The looscapades 😂😂 yes it was hilarious. I am wondering though if I should not separate shower and toilet. Of can I no longer do that once I've started the challenge?

Thank goodness! They all just came home from their first day of work and are standing out in the snow freezing to death! LOL
