Welcome to the new House 003 thread! Quite some time ago it was deleted and un-recoverable (even after investigation), so here's a brand new thread with re-posted and updated rules!
@chillyzgrrl I'm now on house 20. I hope you enjoy reading my story for house 3.
Sounds like Caden is earning a lot with fishing. I like his outfit for fishing!

He earns very little in the part-time fisherman job, but when he comes home, I have him harvesting the collectibles around the lot and then fish until he drops. He's a vegetarian, so he doesn't eat the fish. I sell it all. Plus, he's fished out 2 or 3 robot toys, some crystals, and other goodies.
Ah so that is where he gets his money! My tip is to go to the hidden world in willow creek; Sylvan Glade. If your sim has got higher fishing skill you can earn a lot of money there. I used to sell the fish too.

I rarely build the handiness skill, and don't you need that for access to Sylvan Glade? I've only been there once since I got the game LOL.
I did enjoy your story. Thinking about going back reading the beginning, too.
@chillyzgrrl, cute update. I don't own DU. Do you like it so far?
Vi said she is working on an update for the rules for university, but she isn't done with writing them yet
I have one Sim I'm testing out the game play with and then another save where I am attempting to build Newcrest as a satellite campus. Dorms, houses to rent, a Commons, etc.
@chillyzgrrl that sounds great. so you can put dorms and houses for rent also in other towns?
Yes, which I think is awesome! Well, the houses are normal houses, but once you're in them, you can put up an advertisement for roommates to help with the rent/bills and that's how its a rental. So I just built these little base-game starter houses with beds for 3 sims. The dorm was an extensive build...
... and I just accidentally killed by Uni test Sim... electrocuted her while making a robot. If you're interested... here's my first Uni post... and if not, here's Chapter 4.
Hello fellow Drifters. So, after a lengthy time away, I am back, planning to play again and write in my blog. I really miss drifting. However, it would seem my blog needs a new theme since the old one has been retired. So, I will be working on getting it updated and adding some new chapters soon. Stay tuned.
Hi, @Glimmer50 I'm fairly new to Drifting. Are you continuing an old family or starting new? My Drifter family is here, if you're interested. I've had fun playing them!

THX for sharing your story here Lu!
I just started reading yours. You started it a long time ago! Wow!
So... here's Caden Caine, carrying on where his mother left off, even if he doesn't want to be in Oasis Springs.
Chapter 1

On simsvip you can find how to unlock the hidden words: https://simsvip.com/2014/09/03/guide-how-to-unlock-the-sims-4s-hidden-lots/
@chillyzgrrl, thank you. Let me know if you decide to read the beginning as well! Thanks for reading

Oh cool! Something for Caden to look into, since I didn't try it with any of the others.
Also, Chapter 2 is up now.

Your drifter family is lovely. Daphne is adorable
Showcase | NSBC story
Thank you @illusie ! I need to do the 2nd DU post. I accidentally killed my Sims, though.
Daphne is really adorable, so is Ean. Caden & Aleah had good genes to pass down.
Chapter 5 is up. I'm a little late posting it. Tis the season for lots of stuff going on in RL.
Also, I need to sit down and organize pics for the ext chapter or two.
Thinking about DU... I haven't tested sending a Sim to college from home yet. It might be doable but make the challenge harder.
