LOST?

I had this idea...

I have a bunch of sims in Uni and i'm thinking that after they graduate they should move into a lot and be played the LOST Challenge style. Of course it won't exactly be the same since my sims either already do or will have their gardening and fishing badges by the time they start as well as a jumpstart in their careers because of uni - so i'm not going to score it but i thought this might be a fun way to play the sims for a while instead of falling into the rinse and repeat ritual.

I haven't been playing JAR due to lack of abiliity to remember to do it. lol. So i'm starting to get to the rinse and repeat part quickly. If anyone has suggestions for short challenges i can incorporate into my ongoing family feud challenge, please let me know through comments. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tests

I've been listening to Rachel's Sims 2 Podcast and Quick Tips episodes. In one of the older Quick Tips episode Rachel talks about zombies. Listening to it made me think of some things that i'm wondering i can create in my game. They are:

1) Can you make pet zombies?

2) Can human zombies experience negative effects from aspiration rewards such as elixir (which would cause the zombie to age other than just college)?

I'm going to test these out in my game and report my findings.

***Update 10/2
I adopted an elder pet into the household and he should die within another sim day or two so i might be able to report the results of this test later tonight.

As for the human zombie test, i know which sim is going to be tested with this - one of my female sim's fiance but after they fulfill her LTW of 50 Dream Dates. They are up to 33-ish right now so its going to be a little while on that test i think.
