    @MsPrissy88 - Thanks so much! :) My ID and hashtag are in my siggy. I've just barely uploaded my Drifter 001 family and an updated version of the Drifter 001 house. I used the #DrifterChallenge tag on them as well as my own #RawlaCreations. I also uploaded a bedroom and the central hub you can build from that is in the house if you like. Thanks for asking.

    Awww thank you @Rawla , I just hope I get as better at public speaking (aka doing Let's Plays) as I am with my creativeness on paper. Next week I will be officially starting my Sims Stories Blog and just for you guys I will throw a sneak peek word ............... Newcrest!

    Ok Vih .... Remember how you liked that I had a cowplant in my build (on the gallery)? It's a good thing that Sabrina fed it when she had it. Oh, that's not to say that Joe didn't. Noooo.... Last night Joe was SOOO tired when he got home from work, that he just went straight to bed. And in the morning, this is what I saw --

    *cries* I've never had one of these die on me before. :'( lol

    *************************

    And since I told you yesterday (i think) that I had snapped a pic of Devon as soon as she found out she preggy, well... Here she is!!

    06-08-15_9-07nbspPM_zps6uaqkk0v.png

    I can't wait for her to pop! I want to see if Joe is going to have a little boy or girl as his heir. :#

    @SimmerPT - Yay for new stories blog! I can't wait to see what you do with Newcrest! As for Let's Plays, you are so much more courageous than I ever could be. I've never done one and I don't think I ever could. Well done!

    @MsPrissy88 - Awww so sad about the cow plant. *sniffles* I can't wait to see what gender Devon's baby will be! Keep playing! lol

    Happy Simming everyone!

    For my own family:

    Liberty Lee is an adult, she is still going to her astronaut career. And *cough* she is pregnant AGAIN. (#4 baby PLEASE be a boy! lol)
    Abel Painter is selling paintings to get enough money for when Destiny (heir) moves out for the next challenge. He has also aged into an adult a while back and now wears glasses. I like the look. He's picked up the violin lately and has begun to play that. Maybe he can entertain his grandkids if they ever visit.
    Destiny is four days away from being YA. Almost there! I can't wait. She currently has a B in school.
    Crystal, her little sister just aged up into a rather funny-looking (I think) teenager. She got an A in school before aging up.
    Sienna has a B in school and is still a child.
    Baby #4 is on the way! (please be a boy) :)

    Baby #4 is.... *drumroll please* .... A BOY! Yay! :smiley: I did not use the name generator for that one. Instead I named him Atlas. Atlas Painter. :) He was born just in time to see his big sister become a YA, which will be very soon.

    Thanks for taking a look at my house and family. :)

    I printed out 001-004 of the challenge so far and I have forced myself not even to glance at any of the others except 001. So I am VERY excited to see what 002 will be like. Destiny should have aged up already. She's being stubborn. xD

    Edit: Destiny finally aged up to YA. She is now at 0 funds and at her new lot ready to begin her challenge. I've just taken a peek. Looks like a fun one. xD I've posted on the 002 challenge thread. You can see her picture over there. :)

    @Vihisha - I can't help it. This is an addictive challenge. They have a cow plant now. Terrel was already swallowed once, when I wasn't looking. Thankfully he was spit back out. Destiny is pregnant with their first child. I'm hoping it is a girl. I'm keeping myself from reading Challenge 003. Knowing what it is will be a reward for finishing 002. I'm going to need a challenge a week at this point. lol Good to know that more challenges are coming. I have the main table of contents bookmarked already. Happy Simming! :smiley:


    Update (edit):

    Destiny had her baby at the hospital and has a birth certificate for the baby and...

    It's+a+boy.gif

    His name is Zadkaen Painter.

    (challenge 002) Update:

    Zadkaen is now a child so the household will be taking a vacation now. Yay! Here is Destiny with her son Zadkaen. Her husband is in the house.

    P.S. I think there is something wrong with the fast metabolism trait. :/

    LOL @Rawla THANKFULLY I hear that The Drifter Challenge is addictive A LOT! I'm glad that u r enjoying it...I hope it's helping u experience more of the game & helping u learn things u may not have known about or thought 2 really try!
    Cow Plants r fun stuff!! Glad her husband was not consumed fully..that would have been rather sad...least u would have still had Zadkean still (trying 2 think on the bright side of a close call tragedy). I think u have 2 exercise quite a bit 4 Sims 2 stay fit..I noticed that especially w/my adult non-playable Sims...they get fluffy rather fast. Time 4 a vacation..I hope u enjoy exploring Granite Falls....here's 2 completing the aspiration!! =)

    @Vihisha - I'm at the campsite and I've run into troubles. I can't travel with the full family to the forest. It keeps saying that Zadkaen is busy and can't come. Even though there is nothing in his queue and he's standing right there beside her. It's against the rules to leave him behind at the campsite/lodgings right? Any suggestions how to get them all to go? Thanks. xD

    Edit: I controlled Zarkaen to get him to the forest. Then returned to controlling only Destiny. Considering that I think he was bugged out with the horseshoe game, I view it as a reset-cheat so will continue. *sigh* Or do I need to start the mini-challenge over? ...Silly horseshoe game.

    @Vihisha - lol Thanks.

    Well, I don't think I'm going to make the goal. Zadkaen will be YA in 1 day and the networth of the house is sorely lacking. :( I'll save him to my library so he won't be forever lost and try again. I'm not giving up. (advice: fishing is not a good money-making 'career' for this challenge in my experience. Painting is better.)

    Edit: Zadkaen is still a teen but I did do a build re-do for their home. Networth is only at 27k+. One more day to go. Think I can get 13k before Zadkaen becomes a YA? We'll see.... tomorrow. Almost 3am here now. TOTALLY lost track of time. Oops. lol :blush:

    Zadkaen just got abducted by aliens. lol I have a question. If an heir were to get pregnant and give birth due to an abduction impregnation and that baby was their first child. Would it be the heir since it was the first or do they not count?

    @Rawla That is a very good question...1 that I hadn't thought 2 address...so thank-u!

    ANSWER: As per rule sets under "The Heir" section: Heir must be made through the woohoo for baby command with someone in the household
    Therefor the alien abduction pregnancy would be treated similar to an adoption....that Sim is NOT considered the heir

    *I think I shall add that bit into the rules just to remove any confusion*

    @Vihisha - Thanks for answering my question. I'm having a ton of fun. I'm having a hard time with the fishing aspiration though. I need to find a few more types of fish to catch. I'm working on it. I'll see if I can't complete it. Don't think I ever have before so this shall be fun. xD

    TIP:
    I have found that if you sell a cowplant berry you only get $20. But if you plant it and then sell it after it reaches the tiny-cowplant stage (before it grows up) it sells for around $475 I think.

    I have faith that you'll b able 2 finish the aspiration @Rawla !! *note* U will need 2 fish in different water types 2 catch all kinds =)
    & u r quite right about those Cow Plants & the berries...if u don't need a Cow Plant...they make good money makers!
