Default Homes Are Made of Wishes
This is a challenge that takes advantage of the blueprint function that came with Seasons. It's based on the idea of the Winchester House.

If you don't have blueprint mode in your game, this challenge isn't for you. But go ahead and steal ideas from it anyway!

The rules:

• All rooms must be from the blueprint section.
• Rooms may not be deleted.
• If a sim dies in a room, it must be sealed up (lock for all sims). No one may enter the sealed room, and the grave* may not be moved. All objects within a sealed room are no longer accessible, so you may not sell them or move them to another room.
• If the current heir dies off before a new heir is born, the challenge must be restarted on the same lot with the original sim(s) sealed in.
• Rooms may not be altered. If you don’t like the layout, it’s time to hit the blueprints for a new room.
• Wants may be resolved by blueprints where possible. Although it is not mandatory, it can be a fun way to create and extend your house in this manner.
• Building up or down levels is permitted. Using the basement tool to create enough space for blueprint rooms is encouraged.
• Stairs, ladders & teleporters are permitted to be placed to allow movement between upper & lower levels. However if a room connected to one of these objects becomes sealed off, you MUST seal off the object as well (box it in or seal off the second room, at your own discretion)
• Sims may only relocate from the residence to fulfil a want.

The game ends when you have no more room left to build using the blueprint mode or when the house becomes unroutable to the extent that sims are unable to enter or exit the house.

Scoring:

+100 points per room (defined as any space enclosed by four walls)
+50 points per deceased sim on the lot (*If ghosts make your game laggy, just keep a running tally of who died instead of keeping their graves on the lot.)
-250 points per sim that has abandoned the house (moved out to fulfil a want)

Finally:

A mod that you may find useful for this challenge is velocitygrass's Blueprint Maker - just remember that if you want to use this function to copy rooms from your other save games, that's totally encouraged, but it would be really lovely if you could also share your blueprints so that others can also use them. Creating a room specifically for use in this house isn't really in the spirit of the challenge, but really, who's going to know?

Thanks, I hate it.
