I wanted to make some adjustments to the challenge I suggested. Again, I'm repeating information because I can't edit it. Also, I couldn't go to sleep with the ideas floating in my head.
Recommended Packs:
City Living
Eco Living
Challenge Rules:
Cheats are not required.
Sim can be whatever you want (Teen, Occult, or all of the above).
Must be a new sim fresh out of CAS.
Items created by the sim are exempt from limitations at any stage.
If cheats aren't enabled, a player must use all their money to build a house with Stage 1 limitations.
Created houses can't be made with skill tools like an Easel, Instrument, Woodworking Table, Seed packs, Fabricator, Recycler, or anything that isn't absolutely necessary for meeting basic needs.
If cheats are enabled, cheat income to 0 with the Money X cheat after using testing cheats true. This will create a more difficult start.
Stage 1:
Use all of the starting funds to build a house with only used items or whatever is the poorest quality.
The house must be built with wallpaper, roofs, and floors that have an industrial footprint.
Background Story (For those who want it)

Background Information (For those who want it)
It seems making friends building a bigger and better home has detoured others from using your lot as a dump, and it seems a trash service is finally making the trash build up go away. Your fabrication skills are improving so much, and now, you can make most of your furniture from the bits and pieces you find instead of buying it new. There are no more limitations on how you build your home. Things have really come a long way!

All lot trait slots are free for whatever you want.

Background Information (For those who want it)
Congrats! You've dug your way up from a life of rags to one of riches. You've done so much to help improve the world around you too. Your garden is the envy of everyone, you can make almost anything from the trash discarded on the street, and you probably made your beautiful mansion from those hidden treasures. By the end of this, you've probably gone beyond reaching for the moon and the stars!
