And we’re back with my first drifter attempt and my learning to build series. Here are the second set of three builds of my first Drifter Challenge (now retired): the third and fourth houses, and the Park you are allowed to build after House 3. 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?)

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?)

What can I say? Sometimes I build just to build. Whether it’s for someone else’s shell challenge, or just because I feel like building, I do have some semi- random builds out there that I’d like to show off. This is where I will do that.

After doing some searching, I found some more shell challenges. I’ve been having fun with them.. so why not do some more?

Found this Shell Challenge on the gallery, and decided to really give myself a challenge to use the windows, doors, furnishings, decor, etc.. that I never use in my “normal” builds. This took hours to do.. and I didn’t move a single exterior wall from what was given to me by the challenger. However, it turned out amazing. Despite the fact that I used things from a crazy amount of sets, somehow it all seems to fit together and make a really livable house. I put this in it’s own post because it’s such a detailed build that I took a ton of pictures.

Designed two of these for my #buildapack challenge. All are fully furnished, ready to play, and CC-free. Gallery links included. The third was a build challenge that I came a bit late to, so I wasn’t judged, but I liked the way it turned out enough to upload.

Built a new house for a sim for Get Famous pack.

Designed these for my #buildapack challenge. All are fully furnished, ready to play, and CC-free. Gallery links included.

So I’ve built another 5 shells, putting me up to 15 total to decorate. A good number. Decided it was time to take a break from building to furnish some houses and possibly do some actual game play.. so I’ll post these five before I dive into the rest of things.

So, as some of you know.. I’ve been on a roll building. And building.. and building.. and building. Decorating and furnishing.. not so much. But I sure have house shells a-plenty. Some are farther along than others, some even have landscaping, one has one entire floor furnished and an empty upstairs. Anyway. I wanted to collect my thoughts a little, and list them all here.. sort of as a preview for what’s going to be decorated and uploaded soon.

If you have a favorite you want to see finished before the others, comment and let me know and I’ll move it to the top of the list. Right now the list is pretty random, I’m just decorating as I get inspired.
