House 10 of the Drifter Challenge will be returning this Thursday, October 27, 2022 at 3 pm Eastern.
After living a sheltered life where we couldn’t even control her directly, our new drifter Jackie Driver is returning to the first neighbourhood of the Drifter challenge started in (Bedrock Strait in Oasis Spring). She will be living in Pebble Burrow, a 30×20 lot. This is the neighbourhood where Johnny Zest usually lives in a new save!
Will she be up to the following challenges?
- As a minimum create a 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom home worth at least $50k Simoleons – include a pool and a designated personal workout area.
- Achieve level 10 of the Fitness Skill
- Produce and raise the Heir (see my notes on this*)
There are some optional goals for house 10, the ones I plan to complete are:
- complete the Bodybuilder aspiration
- max the Wellness skill
If it fits in with the house, I may try maxing one of the SE skills (rock climbing, skiing or snowboarding).
Note that I will be adding goals from House 11 to this house, so here are the additional goals that will be required, note House 11 also requires you to raise an Heir:
- In addition to the house requirements noted above, it will also need to include a designated party space.
- Complete the Master Mixologist Aspiration.
- Achieve level 10 of the Mixologist branch of the Culinary career.
Optional goals for house 11 I’ll be attempting are as follows:
*Re the heir, usually the goal is to raise the heir to the young adult life stage, however, with the changes to life stage lengths that came with the July 26, 2022 game update, I plan to end this house when either A) all the goals are complete or B) the heir ages up to a teen, whichever happens second.
In this house we can control the Drifter.
Exceptions are as follows:
(screenshot is from Vihisha’s blog post as of Oct 26, 2022)
The ability to leave your home lot is limited, usually you need 1,000 simoleons and where you can travel to is set by house. Here is a screenshot of the details, again screenshot is from Vihisha’s blog post as of Oct 26, 2022 (Note the club gatherings should say ‘Get Together needed’, not ‘City Living’. ):
As part of house 10, we are able to place a spa or an Onsen on the Pique Hearth lot (where the Pancakes usually live). I will be placing a Spa there.
Some exceptions or amendments that I do re places that can be visited is that I include Bars and Lounges as ‘Nightclubs’ as they act similar to Nightclubs. In prior houses I have hosted club gatherings at museums & gyms, however gyms are now unlocked & I will continue to visit museums for the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration & for dates (I find museums are a great place for dates as other sims don’t interrupt as much).
