    Awesome. I'm just going to keep letting him work then. Otherwise, I don't think I can finish the challenge, and I really like the family! I'm about halfway there, my young adult is pregnant, and the man she married is almost an elder already. So once he's gone, it's just going to be my sim raising her child alone, I think. Can they re-marry if the spouse dies? I would assume so.

    Yeppers! I'm glad that you're enjoying your family in The Drifter Challenge...I always tend 2 get invested in the families...even when they have non-controllable Sims mixed in. Ooooh pregnant Sim...that's always a fun time =) If spouse dies, u can marry & Move-In someone else...heck u can have a total of 8 Sims in a household...as long as they r moved in through the Move-In interaction, adopted or born through the Woohoo 4 baby command....go 4 it!

    I succeeded in my house it's value, it's above 30.000 simoleons now :)
    But I am not sure if Jaylene will see her son turn into a young adult though, she becomes an elder when he becomes a teen..
    Here's some more house pictures as it is, just decorated it more and added curtains upstairs.
    Upstairs

    New bathroom, it hasn't got any decorations yet, but it has in game now already, just a little behind with taking my pictures.

    Finally having a television!

    But still my house is very cosy, and I will keep it that way. I am planning to change the upstairs a bit when Jayden becomes a teen though, so keep following my photo updates kk

    Awesome job @Fennadev ! I'm so glad 2 hear that your house value is above the $30k mark!! Now just get Jayden to Young Adult & you've completed House 001 =) The house looks so nice w/all the decorations up...it really does have a nice cozy feel to it. I c that u put some clay in there...isn't that stuff great!?

    Yes, the original place I put it on was Jayden's desk(which he never uses) and they move it all around the house, it has lain on the floor, dressers, coffee tables, and mostly on the dinner table xD
    Can I btw already give him the Outdoor Retreat aspiration when he becomes a teen?

    Yeah..that clay is so fun!
    U can give him the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration as a teen if u like....that aspiration does not have 2 b selected until they move on & do House 002 challenge =)

    U should make a brand new separate "new game" save. That way playing The Drifter Challenge will not affect your other game play @ all. Clear all lots as in evect every family & bulldoze all houses...including community lots. U do not need 2 do that 4 anything in Granite Falls or the new Magnolia Promenade. If u do not wish 2 take the time 2 clear out everything & everyone...u can always just download this pre-cleared world....create a Young Adult Sim & begin game play =)https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzXRh0E1Z3ofZDVScXhIa213cDQ/view
    However...if u r looking 2 just add 2 your current game...u can just leave everything as it is right now & start this house mini-challenge. Just remember 2 restrict yourself 2 the boundaries & you'll b good 2 go!

    @solarstorm
    From the main menu game screen that u c when u 1st launch the game (or exit 2 main menu option)... top right hand corner there is a + button that's a "New Game" it will take u 2 the Create A Sim screen....then when u r done click the check mark & it will take u 2 the Manage Worlds screen...choose the lot & it will move in your Sim...then u save game w/whatever name u want...then you'll need 2 bulldoze everything & evict all but YOUR Sim.

    IF u r choosing 2 use the pre-cleared world....just go into "load game" choose the save file that was downloaded. Chose the lot from the Manage World screen & create a Sim 2 play.
    Save under any name u wish the save file 2 b & you're on your way 2 starting the challenge & u have a new game file that will not affect any of your previous games =)

    Either build or place community lots in the future...yes
    I realize that some people really do not care 4 the building aspect of the game...so u never really HAVE 2 build your own lots etc. As long as your Sims have the simoleons needed 2 purchase a house from the gallery or whatnot...go ahead & do that...but it's nice 2 really build your own lots/houses...especially if it's not your norm =)

    lets say if i wanted to buy a house from the gallery would it have to meet up to the 30k lot value? or i furnish it on my own? :D I'm thinking about buying a house from the gallery for my 2nd drifter house :) I'm waiting for my Kane to turn into a YA. 3 more simdays to go! woohoo! this is fun!

    U could download a room or 2 from the gallery or an entire house if u wanted 2...the Sims that u r purchasing said home 4...just have 2 have enough simoleons 2 purchase it is all...so if u buy your Sim NOTHING 4 their lot until they have $30k saved up & purchase a $30k house & place it...then yeah...you're good 2 go....but u prolly had a very sad Sim waiting 2 get that much heh. I sure hope that that all made sense

    Rylie looks like a nice Sim =) I'm glad that u were able 2 pair her up w/someone who had more time 2 spend w/her than the hot dog delivery guy. Lucky Kane...he gets a whole basement all 2 his self! Your house is great & such a neat looking family....it's pretty cool u decided 2 expand it after Kane was born! Sounds like u have just a little bit left 2 go! Can't wait 2 how House 001 ends 4 ya! Cool modern build....u should think about uploading it 2 the gallery w/a #DrifterChallenge tag =)

    Glad 2 hear that u r having fun w/The Drifter Challenge so far!!

    HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR LOT TO THE GALLERY

    1. Enter Build Mode
    2. Click the icon that looks like a folder w/a down arrow on it...it's labeled as...Save To My Library
    3. Choose the 1st option from the drop down menu...Save Lot
    4. A new window will pop up where you can change the name of the lot, select the number of bedrooms & bathrooms, as well as add in a description of the lot....don't forget to add the hashtag #DrifterChallenge so we can easily locate your Drifter Challenge creations =)
    5. Once everything is how you'd like it....click the...Share Lot to the Gallery button....in the bottom left hand corner...looks like a cloud w/an arrow pointing up. That will both add your Lot to the Gallery..as well as save a copy to your own Library

    ~I'm so sry @Fennadev that I didn't have a chance 2 make a quick tutorial video...so I hope that I was able 2 explain it well enough that you're good! Please let me know if u still need help ok
