If you saw builds by illusie in her Sims 3 studio or on the Gallery for Sims 4, you would know how beautiful they are! She is especially skilled at crafting Victorian-style creations. Even though we chatted before gifting time and I asked a few build questions, I don’t think she put two-and-two together realizing why I was asking what I was asking. Or perhaps she did and opted not to say anything since she is quite clever and kind. We’ll find out once she receives this gift.

Note: The blog post is a mini-novel. You have been duly warned!

Rainy day and bored with knitting, what is Harlem going to do? And … since Day 3 is a quick read, I’ve added Day 4 as well. Double Feature time!!

Welcome, 2023. I kind of lost touch with this blog in 2022 but since you & I are newly acquainted, let’s start fresh.

The Drifter Challenge: House 3 (status: on hiatus) – it’s been on hiatus for some time now, partly because I went through a spell where I was bored with Sims and partly because of gardening issues (fully grown plants revert back to newly planted & if not caught in time, your sim will not only lose the current harvest but also days worth of tending the garden). And for those who play/have played this House, you know that it is mainly all about the garden! Quite frustrating to say the least.

The gardening issue still isn’t resolved. {sigh} I now realize it will never get resolved, no matter how many bug patches and updates this game has. I can either 1) Not play the game … 2) Play & not bother with Gardening … 3) Play & not let Gardening bother me. I pick option 3 for now. To Garden or Not, that IS the question. One that depends on what I choose to play because some sims will want to learn gardening and others won’t. There. Problem “solved”. Sort of.

By the banner, it’s easy to see what challenge has caught my eye. I started playing it in late December after seeing how much fun illusie (sim: Liberty Rhodes) and BreeMiles (sim: Amber Bigelow) were/are having! The rules are fairly easy to understand and the goals of each round appealed to me. I adore the sim I created to play this and have already played half of the 1st season (season length: 28 days) before the New Year arrived … only stopping because I’m making a gift for a Buddy (part of a gift exchange in my Discord group) and gifting begins on January 15th. Since I’m hosting this shindig, my being late with the gift is NOT acceptable.

Anywho … until I can get back to playing this adventure, there are rules and 14 days worth of story to share with y’all.

Enjoy, xo Addy

RULES & WHATNOT
If you wish to skip the rules and jump right into the story, ROUND 1: Day 1 is now available!

Perhaps the Simmer known as wecantpickaname rings a bell? His builds are creative, clever and shows us how lucky our Sims are! It was fun being the one to surprise him with this gift.

Many of you might know a lovely Simmer by the name of Simming_Spoonie. She’s a talented builder who wears many hats (part of the D.N.A. team; admin of The Sims Creators’ Consortium FB group; on the Simmed Up magazine team; and more that hasn’t been listed)! She spreads happiness throughout Our Community with her generosity so now it’s time to give back a fraction of what she’s given others. Gift and Bonus Gift

Back in December, a Discord group that I am proud to be a member of discussed having a gift exchange. Since it was fairly close to Christmas we figured there wouldn’t be enough time to make our gifts and settled on a later date. TODAY is that day!! And without further ado, here is the gift and bonus gift for a lovely Simmer/friend known in the forums as LMC6254.

Today IS a special day!
