Scavenger Hunt (a fun game to play with your Sim)

This Scavenger Hunt that was a party game at the D.N.A. Anniversary Party last November. People seemed to really enjoy it and I thought I would post the rules and the scavenger hunt list here so that people could play with it.
This is a Scavenger Hunt for objects and events from Sunset Valley. You are to start a NEW GAME so that you have a fresh copy of Sunset Valley and then move your Kleptomaniac Sim into The Monotone (72 Water Lily Lane) in Sunset Valley in order to start your hunt.
You do not need anything other than a Sim with the Kleptomaniac trait, but you may find a Sim with high skills in some other areas to be useful. It is particularly useful to have a Sim with a high photography skill.
You will be asked for THREE different kinds of things on the Scavenger Hunt list: an actual item in your Sim's family inventory, a Sim-taken photo in your Sim's family inventory, or a Screenshot of some event or item.
If the photo described in the list does NOT say "screenshot" then it means a photo taken by your Sim and one that should be in your Sim's family inventory.
If an item doesn't say "stolen" then you can buy it or get if from an existing family inventory or get it in any other way you can.
If it says "stolen" but doesn't say from where, you can steal it from anywhere BUT YOU CANNOT ADD ITEMS TO A LOT so you can't just load up a lot with the items you want to steal and have your Sim steal them.

Rules:
1. Game MODs cannot be used to get the items on the list.
2. You may NOT add items to a lot in Sunset Valley that were not originally on that lot. Remember that you are to start a NEW GAME so that you are starting this Scavenger Hunt in a fresh copy of Sunset Valley.
3. You may be asked to steal a general item (like a car) OR you may be asked to steal a specific item (like a statue in the graveyard). Unless specified you may steal from any residential or community lot.
4. The following Cheat is allowed/encouraged: testingCheatsEnabled true, then shift-click the mailbox on the lot to Make Needs Static. In the interest of a timed contest, you won't have time to allow your Sim to eat, sleep, or use the facilities. If you DON'T want to see how fast you can do it, then by all means try it without cheats!
5. If you are asked to "find" something NOT specific (as in "a tiny space rock" and not something specific like "a tombstone in the graveyard") then it is fine to use one that your Sim has or even to buy one. In a "real" scavenger hunt you can get things from anywhere, including your closet if you are lucky enough to have what was being asked for.
6. Be aware that items in the family inventory which have been stolen will say that they have been stolen in their description and tell where (or from whom) they have been stolen.
7. Any cheats to pause the game, give your Sim money, add a Sim to the family, increase the relationship with a Sim, teleport a Sim, etc. ARE allowed in order to get items on the list. This would be the same as people in a "real" scavenger hunt resorting to trickery or theft in order to get what they need for the list. BUT remember: YOU MAY NOT ADD ITEMS TO A LOT.
8. If you can find ONE item that fits into more than one category, you CAN count it for both.
9. You most likely will NOT be able to find everything on the list. There are a few things on the list that are a matter of luck (like the screenshot of a lot right after a meteor hits it). The idea is to see how many things on the list you can get and how long it takes to get them. You can basically play it two ways: Try to get every single item and don't worry about the time OR Set a time limit and see how many things you can get within that time limit.
10. When we did this as a party game, there was a time limit of six hours and people were encouraged to use cheats to play.

Someone told me at the party that this was really fun and that I should get it included as an "official Sims challenge" but I'm not sure what that means or how I would do it.
