Default Story Driven version of old Asylum challenge
Hello, I made this. All that's left is some playthroughs to let me know what a good ending score range might be, so I can write up some endings.
I was inspired by the Princess Challenge way of story driven play, and incorporated that into the old (skill based) asylum challenge we all know and love.

Story Driven Asylum Challenge

Goal: Max 2/3/4 skills in 21 days.

Setup: Using ALL available starting funds on any blank lot of your choosing, construct an asylum with the following criteria--
A fully fenced in grounds area with outdoor space
A "quiet room" containing no objects at all behind a lockable door
1 outdoor skill activity of your choosing
1 TV, Bookshelf, living style chair, dining table, low quality fridge, low quality stove, low quality shower, toilet, sink, shower stall
2 dining style chairs
3 single beds
1 indoor skill activity of your choosing (COMPUTERS PROHIBITED)
2 more skill objects of your choosing (NO COMPUTERS)

Notes
Start with 0 money
The daily event happens at 8AM
Start in Summer
Cancel all Holidays
Unlimited phone calls, but no visitors
If it builds any measured skill, it's a skill object.
No inventory
Random events (12) may not be repeated
Give AI inmates lots of bad traits for maximum effect
Doors are unlocked
You may wander the neighborhood but do not travel
Have fun!
