Making Sims or Building Houses

I was gifted Snowy Escape by my youngest daughter for Christmas and made a new Sim to play in the new world. He started out Rags to Riches so it took a while before he had enough simoleans to build a house. He finally had earned 5K when I closed the game this morning though, so I'll be going in game very soon and build him a tiny, little place to call home. Thus far he's been living in a little 2x3 roofed shack with only three walls, a cot, sink, candle for light, a pee bush outside and three plants for fresh harvestables to eat.

He might've had more to build with except he needed to buy climbing equipment, a snowboard and skis. Plus, his main source of income has been fishing to get funds to buy Simis and he hasn't had much luck with the Simis. The darn machine keeps stealing his money or trying to kill him when he shakes it! :D I'm having a lot of fun with this pack so far and I've barely scratched the surface. I also remodeled the Onsen Bathhouse a little bit, mostly to fix up the reception area. Cale needed a computer to order that equipment and couldn't afford to buy his own. I changed the color scheme a bit too.

I will eventually build other houses in Mt. Komorebi, but I'm still exploring everything else the pack has to offer at the moment with Cale. :)
