Klara Vonderstein- Senior Year

 

Here we are back in Veronaville's College of La Fiesta Tech and here for Klara Vonderstein's Senior Year.

Of course her dorm mates are also in their Senior year too. They are; Stella Terrano, William Williamson and Almeric & Aldric Davis.

Blossom Moonbeam makes up the last dormie, she'd much rather be gardening than doing anything else.

Sticking to making everyone study at least one skill during college William added Lifelong Happiness to his list which is supposed to slow the decay in his aspiration metre.

 Stella learned Fire Safety and Klara chose Anger Management. (I've just read on Sims Wiki that the Fire Safety skill is buggy and makes no change to how a Sim reacts to fire. (Time well spent then- not!)

The Davis brothers learned Physiology which will enable them to build body skills and gain fitness faster.

The Gypsy lady was impressed with all their efforts anyway and rewarded the house a magic lamp.

Aldric, who had often struggled with his weight, learned his body skills super fast.

Soon after that he showed off his new slim frame.

Klara often looks miserable but is really quite a sociable Sim.

She stopped Matthew Hart when he was walking by to share some gossip.

Blossom attends her garden plots every day and soon earned a Gold badge for her efforts.

Knowledge loving Stella is the only one who wished to write her term paper. I have to make the others do it as this college is set on Summer/Summer/Spring/Spring. 

The first semester passed quickly and everyone got a spot on the Dean's list.

Someone wanted to throw a party to celebrate and the normally quiet Stella got very excited when her boyfriend Ryan Wheeler showed up.

They fell in love right at the appropriate moment!

Campus Security stopped by but after a quick check around decided it wasn't worth breaking up the party and they drove off again.

The pizza guy arrived after that and looks like Aldric is back to his unhealthy ways. :D

Ah it must've been Aldric's party and it was a very successful one.

Someone wished for a swim/game of marco polo and so a pool was added.

Although it's a fairly big dorm it isn't a big lot so it's squashed on the side... functional though.

While Klara studied for a skill the campus coach came by and made William do a lot of sit ups.

The Cow mascot thought what a great prank it would be to set off the sprinklers early the next morning.

Stella gave them a good telling off and while William started mopping the floor the mascot gave Stella a naughty word or two before leaving the lot.

Much later that night Klara was the last of the dorm to Graduate!

The next day everyone (me) decided it was time for the next chapter. Aldric was the first to don his suit and leave.

Almeric was next and left in a Summer shirt and slacks.

His girlfriend Blossom followed on and they moved to a lot together.

Stella can't wait to get back to the neighbourhood to start her life with Ryan. 

William is the only one who didn't find love yet but maybe it will happen during his round. 

Finally Klara grew up, eek at that outfit. :D

Because Klara & Aldric are a couple I 'combined' their 20K's so they could afford a nice house. They've worked hard in college and deserve it.

Here they are in their new home, looking pretty dapper. :D

Summary-

I winged this whole story as I misplaced my notes. It's nice (once again!) to have them graduate. I'm fairly sure they all got top grades.

William will be the next of them to be played but only after going to Belladonna Cove to see how Connor Weir is getting on.

The Viejo Family

 

Here we are in Riverblossom Hills at the Viejo household- the 4th time this round!

A quick recap- Betty Goldstein died happily of old age, Jacob left for college. Andrew and Catherine Viejo fell in love and were happily married (he took her last name) until she too died of old age. Not long after that Andrew met and instantly loved Denene and they got married. She is expecting the next generation of Viejo any day now.

Andrew is at the top of the Gamer career. His lifetime want is to earn 100K.

His fellow Fortune sim and 3 bolt wife Denene wants to be Chief of Staff- she is currently a Specialist and is enjoying some Eggplant juice in the hope for a useful skill. Well- they are all useful of course but her hope of it being one needed for promotion is slim at best. :D

Early on Tuesday morning Denene went into labour.

Little Justine made her way into the world. Andrew got straight on the phone for his daily chat to his son Jacob to break the happy news.

Justine's nursery is Jacob's old bedroom. 

The round of feed, change and sleep little began for Denene and she slept on the sofa outside the nursery any opportunity she had.

The second Winter began enveloping the Viejo household in heavy snow.

Denene had to go back to work and Nanny Lexie Andersen was hired- she is super neat and loves to clean, yay! 

Andrew finished his creativity skill to level 10 shortly after this shot.

He and Denene left for work. Denene brought Lisa Ramirez home and she stayed for dinner before leaving for the night.

Denene was promoted to Surgeon and helped Justine celebrate her toddler birthday.

With smart milk and a thinking cap Justine learned a nursery rhyme in no time before Denene had to swap places with Andrew so she could earn more skills for her next promotion.

Her career reward comes in very handy for mechanical skills.

Andrew is best friends with his daughter on Friday.

Denene got a promotion to Medical Researcher.

Andrew found an infestation of cockroaches in his front yard and quickly zapped them before they could spread.

He cried for some time afterwards.

Denene keeps wishing to see a shooting star and I nervously allowed it until the wish was fulfilled- but no longer. :D

On Saturday having the weekend off our couple went Downtown to buy some new winter clothes.

Having the urge for a baby (and new clothes) they woohooed in public- unsuccessfully on both the pregnancy and the subtlety. 

Walking to a different clothing store they tried again...

Baby chimes were heard and no Mrs Crumplebottom in sight. Or anyone else. :)

That night as Denene was holding Justine Andrew had sense that they were not alone... he was right as Betty's ghost had come through the wall. Luckily she didn't scare anyone.

Ah, Denene was taking Justine to her cake- Happy tween birthday. 

The bedroom had a bright makeover.

Justine got a new hairstyle which she found hilarious.

On Sunday Justine was the first to leap into the air at the sight of even more fresh snow.

She stayed outside building her snowman until her fingers and toes were quite blue.

One of her birthday gifts was a kiddie oven, the result wasn't quite what she'd hoped for.

Thankfully her dad had made pancakes which must have turned her mum's stomach!

Andrew had invited Jacob and his dorm mates over for the day.

Denene was outside when they arrived but ran quickly indoors to throw up.

Justine enjoyed a game of chess with her half brother.

Later everyone sat down to dinner, it was nice for Andrew, Denene and Justine to get to know Jacob's dorm friends William Parmeley, Melody Tinker and Sandy (Sandra) Roth. A lovely day was had by all.

Much later after she'd settled into bed, Denene awoke and spun into her Maternity pjs.

and later still Catherine Viejo's ghost came a' haunting... still missing her hot chocolate. :)

Summary-

A great round- it was nice that the next generation of Viejo is here to keep the house going. 

Betty's ghost went upstairs a lot and walked through a lot of beds but she didn't disturb Andrew or Denene.

Catherine's ghost doesn't come inside, she just floats around her old garden dreaming of hot chocolate.
