@Lissykin Oooh I love Juliana's first chapter! The idea that she was gifted the land is great. I also love the rumble and big cloud of dust as the bus left her off in Oasis Springs. Cannot wait to read more.
Thank you so much for reading, mojot89, Illusory, cshaner, and Vihisha! I just added the second chapter - I only had enough images for the first two. lol Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have an amazing weekend.
@cshaner I just finished reading Whitaker House 001. I loved it! It had a wonderful storyline, the family is charming, and the little twists and turns were totally unexpected. Your final house is super cute and fits perfectly in the neighborhood. I'd like to fave it in the gallery. Do you have a different ID there (I couldn't find it)? Can't wait to see what Jack has ahead in House 002!
@Lissykin Awww, aren't you a darling binge-reading my whole house 001! As my signature says, my Origin ID on the gallery is cshaner07
I love my house 001!! I've mentioned to a few people, my House 001 is my favorite build of all time (at this point anyway, hopefully they continue to get better). It was a house plan that I adapted to fit our Sims' world.
As for the story, thanks for your compliments. House 001 was a story derived from screenshots during game play. House 002 will be a lot more plot driven. I'm following game play rules (only going places when invited and have 1,000 on hand etc. No controlling uncontrollable sims etc) but I'm also very much setting scenes to screenshot. I will admit, there will be one chapter (it will be very obvious) in House 002 that I staged all the shots outside of my game save. I really had to control sims to get them to do what I needed them to do and turn off autonomy to KEEP them there! Haha. But that didn't affect my game save at all.
@Lissykin I read chapter 2! So cute and I absolutely loved how you described the different types of dig nodes. You know, until reading your story I never realized that the nodes look different depending on what they have inside?? Loved Juliana's face in that one where she's super excited. She such a pretty Sim!
Oh - just one more thought - when you post a chapter update - add the link to your blog again! Makes it easier to just keep up!
@shiba306 Great chapter and August really needed the advice from that dream.
@Jestina That first picture you posted tends to happen to all drifters LOL! Congrats on finishing your first house and it looks great. Your heir is very pretty.
@Lissykin Your blog looks great and Juliana is off to a good start.
@cshaner Oh man! I feel so silly now for missing your ID. lol I got wrapped up in the blog, rushed over here, and didn't even look. Hah!
Your idea for House 002 is brilliant as far as setting the stage for certain scenes outside of your gameplay.
I'm finding myself really into these stories. I've always assigned plotlines when I play, but it's a whole new thing to let others see what's floating around in my old noggin. lol
Thanks so much for the feedback. Since I'm totally green in this entire area (first blog of my own, first story telling venture) I appreciate the tips. I will absolutely include the next link. It's kind of funny that I overlooked that considering I'm asking for a link in one of my other posts. lol
@Piazzagirl1015 Thanks for reading! I'm still reading yours, but I'll comment soon.

I think it's just so wonderful how many firsts Drifters have! A lot of the bloggers have started their blogging Simlit adventures w/The Drifter Challenge
Happy Sunday! I think I'm Drift-crazy. lol I've posted chapter 3. So much stuff is happening, I feel like I practically have a chapter a day. I hope Juliana keeps up this wonderful momentum.
@Vihisha It must feel a little weird/amazing to know that you're idea has inspired so much creativity!
@misfit091376 Thank you so much for checking it out! I'm glad I have your links right. I'm catching up on a lot myself. lol
Hi! I have another question...If our sim has 1000, is it okay to travel to festivals? I'm assuming yes, but I don't want to inadvertently break one of the rules. Thanks in advance for your help!
@Lissykin I also read your latest chapter! Justice and Juliana are so adorable together. The restaurant is beautiful too! Did you build or download that?

It's a perfect spot for this challenge.
Note: I listed it in the chapter, but thank you for helping me realize it doesn't stand out! I want to make sure credit is given where its due.
