Some Old Builds: My First Drifter Attempt (pt1)

When I was looking for which builds I'd post about for my "Random Builds" section.. I couldn't decide where to start. So.. I went back to the beginning of my learning to build in Sims 4 - which was when I started the Drifter Challenge for the first time. Prior to then, I did a lot of.. well, boxes. BIG boxes - made up of EA rooms cobbled together.. and then shaped into some sort of a box house. However, the drifter challenge very specifically states that everything you build during the challenge has to be done by you.. and I took the challenge at it's word. And that's how I started building.

So.. when looking for random builds... I ultimately decided - why not do a little bit of a look-back on my journey as a builder. If for no other reason than to show that, yes, even I had to start from somewhere. Consequently, here are the first three builds of my first Drifter Challenge (now retired): the first two houses, and the Restaurant you are allowed to start with. All are built by me. and all are.. how shall I put it.. very .. basic. Perhaps someday I will remodel all of them (orrr... you could?)


Drifter House 1: (Agave Abode)

As I mentioned above.. it's basic. Very basic. But I think it was my first decent roof adventure. It is on my gallery if you're interested in remodeling the poor thing: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/8124DD8A813E11E68BA3FEAF42B5B3F4

I particularly love the fact that my drifter didn't bother to put the cake away, and left their homework behind....
What a cavernous kitchen...

Drifter House 2: (Crick Cabana)

Okay, so it's clear that I improved before the second house. At the very least, it's less basic. Download: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/56F89D48838211E685B1AA6C36403918

an attempt at columns on the inside of the house, and oo... a half wall! (FANCY!)
hey! that kitchen's almost cute!
wait.. I even decorated the hallway??
yup, the two bathrooms are pretty much the same. Again.
Part of the reason for this roof balcony was having a place to put the tent for the outdoor aspiration.
but it turned out kinda cute!

Traveler's Bar and Grill

My first ever restaurant. It's not bad. I guess? Download: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/E4D1C0C5E04911E68BF67F06F4DCE2C8

I am a 45 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and three young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I have also recently been accepted to the EA Creator Network, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
