What self-imposed challenges do you apply to playthroughs?

I have a few rules I stick to: I don’t fight zombies at a distance, I don’t jump onto things to stay out of their reach, I don’t use wooden spikes to help myself, I don’t block doors with blocks to make things easier, and I play the same way at night as I do during the day I don’t avoid fighting.
 
I'm interested to read what weird restrictions other players put on themselves when they play.

For example, half of the time I choose not to use guns or explosives, to slow down my progression.
I have a really complicated set of challenges i made for myself based on the Armor Sets.

Example is the Lumberjack set:
Axes or Chainsaw only for melee, Rifles & molotvs only for ranged. no other items allowed to be used to damage zombies.
only weary primitive or lumberjack armor, all else is banned
Can still use pickaxe for mining rocks & metal, wrenches to disassemble things, claw hammer for upgrades
knives are complete banned except for the one challenge to harvest meat.
only eat foods with the name "Sham" in it, except for the challenge you have to cook & eat 2 bits of charred meat.
yucca smoothie is banned, gyrocopter is banned.
every 3rd blood moon have to move to the next biome and can't go back to the old ones ever again - you can't complete the special job for the next trader until after every 3rd blood moon. final run in the wasteland is 4 blood moons.
have to complete one Tier 6 quest in the wasteland before the final blood moon.
you can die twice, your third life is permadeath & save file delete.

Survivalist difficulty, storms & biome progression on, 200% xp, sprint day speed, sprint smell speed, nightmare blood moon speed, no air drops, loot respawn disabled, 64 zombie blood moon

That kind of sounds fun, but for me would depend on the difficulty. Especially since it's fairly common for a dire wolf to spawn on night 1.
I've melee'd a couple ferals on insane nightmare on night 1, but I don't think that'd work out against a dire wolf.
