give me ideas on things to do in the game

[Moist Cat]

I find myself getting bored fairly quick in sandbox mode, what are some interesting and fun things to do in the game? post your things to do here

-Put things on top of other things. Preferably in silly places. My favorite is to find ridiculous rooftops to put the monster truck on.
- Repeat some of the missions, using no tools, or some other restrictions of your choice.
- Fly the blue speedboat into places it should NOT be able to go. This boat is available in the sandbox modes of Lee Chemicals and the Marina, and also in Hollowrock, but only in the first mission. I've posted some videos on the forum here on how to fly the boat. And no, I'm not kidding.
- Choose a random building on a random map to completely obliterate. Don't even leave any debris behind.
- Discover the joys of arson
- Imagine that Villa Gordon is actually a trump property, and then go to town on it with high explosives. I find that one most satisfying.

Here's the list of challenges I'd planned on issuign on a weekly basis, but Lebronze James went and kicked ass on all of these - I've learned not to underestimate that man.
The challenges are still fun to tackle.

I've copied this from my Excel table, so naturally it's gonna look like crap below, but.... well there ya go.
Challenges:
Map Mission Challenge
1 Evertides Mall Old Building Problem Win without destroying house
2 Lee Chemicals The Lee Computers Blowtorch only; no vehicles, no thrown items

Thank you very much!

I roleplay it out, demolish certain buildings without touching others. Or I start a fire in a house, give it a few mins, then play firefighter and try to put it out.

I actually do similar stuff, too - go into a property with the intent of doing stealthy, quiet damage, or work out ways to cause greatest financial damage, etc - I just make up a scenario and do it
