Reality: You can use that trick to your favor: Make that single Power source run a trapdoor blocking access to vault. Thus shorting that Power source will make access to vault more difficult.

Someone broke it.

They must've seen the map because they were very specific with what they did.

Anyway glad to give my artwork back to the world and have a family again

  Oh and here is my map by the way..

Yeah, that "leaving your house without editing it and still getting loads of salary over weeks, in safety," thing was a bug that has been fixed!

Sounds like the lack of salary on easier, "bottom" houses has changed the game for the worst, at least without maps.  We've got 50 guessing-game houses at the top of the list, and that's it.  The rest are all $0....  hmmm...

Okay, turning salary for abandoned houses back on, temporarily.  Will turn it off again, as an experiment, when v6 is released.  Okay, the last payment round paid 764 players $14 each, with $14 more coming in about an hour, etc.  Go for it!

My wife was clubbed for $31.

setz:  The solution is very simple, as are all great magicians tricks, but it does rely on knowledge of the level layout.  It is NOT a combination lock.  My hope is that the house is still reasonably challenging to figure out even with the map revealed, so maybe it is a little future-proof.

Shaved a couple hundred off it:

Course this only works once the family is out of the picture. RIP

A way to counter turned-off electric grates would just result in the grates becoming 9-deep. That would actually be bad, since it results in less space for an interesting puzzle.
I think the best counter to those is a map. That will instantly make 99% of all dance-houses easily robbable and I look forward to seeing which designs will last longest.

What we do need a fix for is dogs on the entrance tile.
