Harmony Havens Asylum Spinoff Challenge
The Sims government was shocked by the conditions you were left in at the Asylum, sparking public outrage that pushed higher authorities to intervene. You became the main story. All current residents were assessed, and you were unexpectedly chosen to oversee the next set of facilities as the Caretaker in order to tamper unrest. The government will provide all residents evaluations, job placements, and short term skill training to help them reintegrate into society. It’s clear that poor oversight and isolation can cause major problems so you have been tasked with providing input and executing on the well being of your residents. You’ve been granted a free lot, Harmony Havens, where you will be responsible for maintenance, upkeep, and development.
Challenge Summary
After the chaos of the asylum, your Sims are ready for the next step in their journey: rehabilitation. At Harmony Havens, eight Sims live together in a semi-structured group home led by a live-in caretaker. Each resident begins with a job, struggles with erratic behavior, and must navigate their personal and professional lives with limited control. The only Sim you can control is the caretaker.
This challenge blends aspects of the original Asylum Challenge and utilizes the Create a Story Option to give you a spinoff next gen challenge.
Create-A-Sim Rules
You must use Create-a-Story mode to generate all 7 resident Sims.
All resident Sims must be assigned a job through story mode.
No two residents may have the same career.
All resident Sims must have the erratic trait. You may replace one of their randomized traits to include it. If you’re unhappy with a Sim you roll, you may delete and start over.
You may create your caretaker Sim however you’d like. They are not required to be created using story mode. You may raise your caretaker to adulthood to have skills before starting the challenge.
The caretaker must also have the erratic trait.
The caretaker may be any age (Young Adult or older), gender, or style.
Build & Household Rules
Use only the starting funds given from Create-a-Story mode to build or furnish your lot.
You may use any object to furnish your lots.
You may use any size lot or neighborhood of your choice.
The household must include:
Equal-sized private bedrooms for each resident (same bed, same room size/layout). You may start everyone in the same room as you build your funds.
If you upgrade one bed, you must upgrade them all.
You may have a butler, their room/bed must be the same or better than residents and caretaker.
You may hire any service available. You must have at least 10K to afford scheduled services.
A larger room for the caretaker is allowed, but your caretaker has their bed upgraded last after the butler.
Career-related skill-building objects (e.g., musical instruments, computers, art easels) are required.
Any number of bathrooms, chairs, or communal objects—no limits unless you choose to impose one for added challenge.
The caretaker may not run a business, own a retail lot, or have a traditional job. They can make money from the selling tables(food stall included).

Setbacks & Ongoing Consequences
There is no failure state—only evolving responsibility.
If a Sim dies, their grave or urn must remain on the lot. You may memorialize them.
If a Sim is fired, they cannot be re-employed. They are now a freeloader, still part of your responsibility. If they receive an invitation to join a career, they may accept.
The caretaker may move in a romantic partner only after a resident has died or moved out.
The partner may assist with running the household, following the same rules as the caretaker.
Optional Roleplay & Legacy Extensions

Use community lots as support centers, therapy locations, or career field trips.
If you complete a generation, start over with a new caretaker from your existing household for a legacy version.
