Okay so.. you all know how to run the standard asylum. And if you don't, go find an asylum challenge. [I don't feel like finding one for you and pasting the link so...] Anyywayy. This asylum will have MORE then 8 people in your house. Here's how we do it.

1.) Set up your house. (Add furniture, make sure it follows the asylum rules when it comes to limits for comfort, energy, etc etc. But NOT for quantities. Since I moved four families into one house, I took the quantity amount allowed by the asylum rules and multiplied it by 4. Example: Say if there were 5 beds allowed for a normal asylum family, I multiplied it by four to get 20 beds. **I highly recommend a BIG house. In my asylum I have a floor for adults, and a floor for teens,and a floor for the controllable person.**)

2.) Make your first asylum family. (Make the controllable person, and the patients.)

3.) Put the first asylum family in the asylum. (If you need to use the familyfunds cheat, go ahead, I know my asylum was waaay over 20,000$)

4.) Go back to neighborhood, and add a couple cheap houses around the asylum

5.) Make another asylum family, this time without a controllable character. If you want the next steps to be MUCH easier, name these people by numbers. You can fix their names later. Move this family into a cheap house near the asylum. Keep in mind, these are the people that will be moving into the asylum with the original family.

6.) Repeat step 5 until you feel you have enough 'patients'

7.) THIS IS THE VERY ANNOYING PART. Go onto the big asylum, and using the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true cheat, spawn a Tombstone of L and D. Click the tombstone, and go into 'Add Neighbor to Family' Now add all your other asylum characters from the other houses. Please note: This option has EVERY sim in that neighborhood. Since your asylum families are new, they will be farther back in the selection. (This is where the numbers part came in.. it's much easier just to look for a number than a name!)

8.) If you named the patients by numbers, rename them using the Insimenator or some other hack. (Unless you want to keep them numbered.. :wtf: )




Now I'd move the sims into the household [: I had mine on different floors, adults on 1st, teens 2nd, controllable character third. I made it so that the teens couldn't go down with the adults, but the controllable character could go anywhere. This is optional.

I'd like to hear your comments, I realize this probably made no sense.. It took me awhile to catch on at first myself. :lol:

If you have ANY suggestions for this, feel free to tell me in the comments.

You can use the Tombstone of L and D to spawn random new sims by selecting spawn adult female/male, too. If you don't care about them being customised that is :D This should probably go in the asylum thread since it's not really a new challenge, it's just more sims. Cool idea though, I think I'm going to try it. Instead of a tiny asylum, a full blown hospital! Sounds like a recipe for success.
