*Alien (Get To Work needed)
*Mermaid (Island Living needed)
*Spellcaster (Realm Of Magic needed)
-Select the Mean Trait
*Using Story Mode for creating The Drifter is not allowed
*If you download a Sim, you will need to make sure that they do not have any Skills or extra Traits gained as this could give unwanted advantages

-Drop the Active Household Funds to $0 Simoleons (testingcheats on + Money 0)
-Save your game
-Make a backup save (start of House 012)

THE PLAYABLE SIM THIS HOUSE CHALLENGE IS:
-The Drifter (the previous heir coming from House 011 if you are continuing)

4. Have The Drifter Engage in and WIN 5 fights

I'll admit Friend of the World is one of my least favorite aspirations...so this one will be a challenge for me. But then I didn't care much for Outdoor Enthusiast either and I got through that. Wish me luck
Also, 50k house on that teeny lot...ooh boy
Fun fact: When you fight a bear, the command is 'wrestle' instead of 'fight'. Unfortunately, Daniel lost
Good Luck, my friend!! LOL I like making people step out of their norm/comfort zones so...sounds like I'm doing that @ least a little bit here!!
It's 2 bad Daniel lost..I had me a good chuckle when I saw he was out & about w/Bear Night @ the bar LOL
Yeppers...small but mighty!!
That's awesome!! If u ever wanna' play the house mini-challenges out of order...feel free 2 do so! U don't HAVE 2 play them all in order
I hope that u r enjoying The Drifter Challenge so far!!
And Adalynn:
And here's Virginia!
-Wish For Youthful Vigor (all life stages)
-Wish For Life (ghost state)
-Wish For Romance (teen-elder life stages)
Yep, caterer dropped dead.
Poor Virginia. This was not how I wanted her to remember her special day.
A new caterer showed up just as Virginia blew out the candles on the hamburger cake Daniel whipped up to replace the one the old caterer didn't make...because, you know, dead.
Aaand here's Virginia now! She's so pretty! here she is trying to dance the blues away.

@Vihisha This is defiantly a step out of my comfort zone lol. I have such a hard time making myself use the mean interaction, lol. my husband and kids laugh at me cause I cue the actions then cringe the whole time I watch them. They do make me laugh sometimes though. I will be sure to be better at taking pictures this time around. I am really curious to see how it goes when I make it back to this house cause the first time was rought and I barely completed it. Maybe all do better this time. :)

The Driftwoods Continued!
As long as you're having fun...that's all that REALLY matters!!
I'm actually getting a bit ahead of myself. I still need to build a bar for oasis springs...! I told myself I wouldn't start house 12 until I had built it, but temptation was too big
