(Part 1)
Meet Tatiana Ham. She is the starting household of The Drifter Challenge. Tatiana’s story begins in Oasis Springs. It’s close to some benches, a grill, and even a food vendor. Despite the scarce amenities, Tatiana knew that she needed a job. She looked through LinkedSim and decided to take a job in the astronaut career field. After securing a job as an intern, Tatiana decided to try her luck at fishing. She might catch something to eat or at least sell for a few Simoleons. The rain was coming down hard and she’d really enjoy a tent. Unfortunately, Tatiana didn’t catch anything. Feeling tense, she decided to try her luck at breaking some rocks in search of crystals. She was able to score a few Simoleons from the crystal she found, so she decided to scour the rest of the area for frogs and other collectibles. After making some more Simoleons, the sun came our and the rain stopped. Tatiana decided to build a sand castle. Unfortunately, the sun did nothing to raise the temperature. She was still freezing! Tatiana started to feel hungry after building a sand castle and collecting, so she visited the grill nearby and cooked up some hot dogs. After getting some food finally, Tatiana came home to find a couple of stray cats at her home lot. Amongst the strays was Claudio. Tatiana quickly became friends with Claudio. She decided he would be the perfect cat to be a part of her family, so she decided to adopt him. Even though she didn’t have many Simoleons yet, she made sure that she had enough to get him his own bowl of food. After a long day, Tatiana collapsed into her bathroom/bed bush. As Tatiana slept, Claudio socialized with the other stray cats from the neighborhood. Thankfully for Tatiana, she awoke to rain hitting her in the face. Being an optimist, she decided to use the wet weather to get clean. After her shower, she began to build a home, but quickly got tired and returned to her bush to catch some Z’s. After some much needed rest, she continued to build her house. It wasn’t much, but she knew it would give her protection from the lightening and the cold weather that would be coming soon. She used some of her remaining funds to buy a bed, however it unfortunately did not fit in her home yet. She could have bought a single bed, however she really wanted to finally have a toilet to use instead of the bush she currently had. After adding a toilet, she had just enough money to get a refrigerator and a stove. They also had to be placed outside for now. After spending the night shopping and arranging furniture, Tatiana crawled into her bed to finally get some good rest. Tatiana finally woke up feeling refreshed and decided to make a sandwich from her refrigerator. She also bred and sold her frogs to gain some Simoleons. Simoleons that she used to buy a counter. Despite the rather sickly stray cat standing on her new counter, Tatiana was able to make a rather delicious salad. After her salad, she still felt refreshed and wasn’t able to fall asleep. She wandered the neighborhood and found a pile of leaves that she played in until the early morning. Some nearby Sims saw her playing and decided to introduce themselves. After a busy day of collecting and breeding her frogs, Tatiana finally had enough Simoleons to add to her home. It was good that she did too because the next day was HarvestFest! Unfortunately, the holiday left her feeling a little light(ening) headed. Since HarvestFest left her feeling super lonely since she had nobody to share the Holiday with, Tatiana jumped at the chance to go out with her coworker, Liberty Lee (She finally had 1000 Simoleons!) Tatiana tried to introduce herself to a few people, however she wasn’t great with people (or vampires). Despite raising her social need, Tatiana still didn’t have any potential future spouse. She decided to spend her 1000 Simoleons on her home. After her appliances kept breaking, she realized that she forgot to add a roof! Finally having a house with enclosed rooms, she stepped into the shower. Outside her roofed home, however, her adopted cats, (I forgot to show those earlier) got frisky and are expecting kittens. She already had 4 cats, but she didn’t mind more. She didn’t feel as lonely with her cats around. Before long twin kittens were born on the same day Tatiana was promoted. Though it was hard, she decided to sell the kittens. She needed space so that she could find a spouse and have her own little baby. As Tatiana slept off her sadness, she received a call from her friend Liberty, inviting her over to her house. Having 1000 Simoleons, she decided to go. Tatiana discovered that Liberty had some pretty nice furniture. Furniture that would look really good in her house… After swiping a nice lamp, Tatiana went looking for Liberty who was hanging out with her roommates, one of which was Travis Scott. Tatiana had an instant attraction to Travis and within a few hours, the two were sharing their first kiss. Followed by their first woohoo. Which quickly led to an engagement…. And an impromptu kitchen wedding! Having a new husband to go home to, Tatiana finally left Liberty’s house and braved the storm home. Upon arriving home, Tatiana found Travis and asked him if he wanted to start trying for a baby. Of course, he was thrilled to. It only took one time for Tatiana to find out that she was expecting. Even though she got a wonderful gift of a new family, Santa also decided to give her a gift as well. One that she promptly sold. The next day, Travis and Tatiana both went to work while the cats enjoyed the new lamps. After saving a little bit of Simoleons, Tatiana decided to enjoy a club gathering, which ended helping her achieve an Aspiration Milestone. Feeling accomplished, Tatiana headed home. Just in time to head to the hospital and have her baby! Tatiana and Travis were so excited to welcome little Danika to their little family.
