I intend to remove only those hacks which actually modify sims' freewill behaviour.
I agree with the idea that only "freewill affecting" hacks be removed, mainly to get more fun out of the hapless inmates. I'm definitely going to build an asylum and try this challenge. Looks like great fun, even though none of the other challenges have ever interested me (too much like work to keep score through 10 generations, etc.). I am keeping critical fixes and probably fixes for some of the more ridiculous annoyances, but I think it would add to the feel of an asylum if inmates always went to look at new stuff, whined a bit, left coffee cups lying around, etc.

I suppose I should probably also remove the Insimenator, as it's such a big hack it's bound to conflict with something. Although it does have a handy "Make Unselectable" feature... hmmm.
Hehehe... oh, the plotting
.
...I think I've read that if you make them unselectable with inSIM, they'll wander off the lot when they start to get miserable...

I was afraid of that too. I've opted to leave the other "inmates" as selectable, but just not look at their details.
Have played 18 sim days now, and have had 3 fires and only one death (not directly related to fire) so far (she collapsed in exhaustion and probably just starved to death). Things are getting interesting. I was bored stiff with an asylum full of people just happy to have pillow fights.

Hmm, it's Dumb Baratron-type People. I wonder if I should add you to the Torture Pool. Are you going to be around to be interesting? I think your schtick should be your allergy to everything. Any other suggestions?
Allergy to "everything" - oh man! *lol*. Go for it, heaven knows my real life is annoying enough at times. What will you do, make me randomly collapse vomiting if I eat something containing dairy products, or give me fits of sneezing if I do gardening?
So far my Asylum Challenge is going to hell in a handbasket, principally because I was an idiot earlier today. Although the
official
rules do not say "No quitting without saving & reloading if something you don't like happens", that's how I play Challenges, as otherwise it's just too easy. Today's fire - the second since the Challenge started - was my own fault for not noticing that bloody Goopy had put pork chops into the oven
before
I walled off the kitchen to stop the sims going in there five times a day. In my defence, I
had
clicked on the oven with my controllable sim, but had only got the options "Make..." and "Make Many...", nothing about "Get Pork Chops" (it seems you have to hit
exactly
the right pixel on the screen to get that to come up). Goopy started the first fire too, and this despite him having acquired at least two Cooking points in a Yummy Channel Marathon (tricky to arrange without Macrotastics, as my controllable sim has entirely the wrong personality to want to watch TV).
Honestly, it's terrifying how much sims will over-eat given only Maxis free will and unlimited access to the fridge - as well as the sim who started the Challenge fat (Mickey Dosser, from La Fiesta Tech's fraternity), Dina Caliente and Andrezj Centowski (cow mascot) are now waddling around. It will not surprise anyone who's learned about Efficient Sim personalities that 5 of my 8 inmates have less than 2 Active points. It
has
surprised me how much the sims seem to prefer fish fights to using the Fun-building items in the house - so far I've seen the two Active sims using the chessboard autonomously, and Goopy using the easel, but apart from that it's TV or fish fighting. No one has used the exercise equipment at all.
I've cloned my Strangetown for the purpose of strange Challenges that might break the game. (It was pretty easy using the Batch Renamer that JadeElliot, I think, posted a link to here a while ago.) Depending on how long this takes to play & how much time I have, I may make an Asylum that is entirely... well, that would be telling
.

Sorry for posting in a thread that has been inactive for so long but I felt that I might have found a useful loophole to get around the issue of stove/fridge loss due to fire. I don't recall seeing a restriction mentioned anywhere on buying the buffet table so instead of ordering pizza or Chinese food constantly you could just keep filling up the buffet table instead.

Actually, the rules state quite clearly that there must be an accessible stove, so that the inmates can start fires.
Money really is short if you play this challenge correctly, so the buffet table is not a clever option at all.

No rule saying that the buffet table is outlawed, and there's no reason money would be short if you're managing it right.

Starting with an adult CAS sim, entry level jobs... aaargh. When I played this challenge, I spent every last penny on bills and groceries.
I think I will play it again soon

I think I did it wrong the last time I had an asylum - not nearly enough peeing on the floor, aspiration failures, fires, etc. and only one death. My "playable" inmate reached the top of his career and was released through several lucky choices on chance cards and went on to father 3 lovely children with a pretty walk-by he met during his time as an inmate. Altogether too happy an ending. I was hoping it would end in chaos.
Perhaps I should try it again as well.

Will check what comes out on my game - if current purple dress (which I want to keep) is not compatible, you can haz first refusal rights on anything simRohina would wear (noting preference for "nice purple"). Sounds like dress comes with sim, or am I wrong? If there, simRohina keeps.

It's easy to make money, even with this challenge and since what you buy and place on your lot is restricted for me at least there was plenty of money to go around so being able to afford to refill the buffet wasn't an issue. I still had a stove and even a fridge on my lot I even gave my Sims a microwave so they had two ways to start a fire in fact since I didn't see any restrictions on microwaves. I just had my Sim fill up the buffet table once a day for the other patients.
I enjoyed this challenge but I was disappointed that it didn't turn out to be more chaotic. I only had one Sim pass out on the floor once and no one peed themselves until they turned into elders. A fun challenge and the first one I've ever managed to complete actually but too easy.

Did you try it without idiocy removing hacks? I'm tempted to do so with all the excess spares in this generation of my legacy (stupid Family sims).
