I recently decided to re-start my Drifter Challenge due to a long hiatus (among other things). I created a new family, the Ramblers, and am sending miss Brianna out into the sims world to make her fortune and start a legacy. I elected to bulldoze everything except the special lots in Windenburg and the Pet Vet Clinic and deleted all pre-made townies. I've played enough with the townies and their houses that I have no intention of having them in my Rambler save, too. I didn't make any sims to join into the save (other than Brianna), electing to let the game spawn them as it will.
I am also running this on "random".. basically all traits, aspirations, and lot traits will be rolled on createarandomsim.com ... the Drifter rules state changing aspirations can be done at any time, so it works out.. but the first aspiration picked as a teenager (that gives the trait) will be random. Being that vampires are disallowed, those three aspirations and the lot traits relating to vampires are excluded from the list of randoms.
Update: I am still working on this. Since I’m more than halfway done with the challenge, it seems silly to stop, because I SO want to say I completed it. So, yeah.. It’s on my list.
Anyway. Here's the chapter list.
