Candice Bruenig- Sophomore Year

 

Back at La Fiesta Tech college in a suburb of Veronaville for the turn of Candice Bruenig- the only girl in the Fraternity House.  She and Matthew Hart are good friends. Candice is a Family Sim who is wishing her life away to her Golden Anniversary some day. 

Francis J Worthington III joined the house just as we went into Guy Wrightley's senior year. A Fortune sim with his sights set on the Business world.

Wannabe Lothario Mickey Dosser is in his final Semester of college. His grade is sitting at 3.4 which is good considering his start in college. His LTW seems to have changed to become a Rock God but that doesn't stop him working his way through some college girls.

Matthew Hart has just started his final year of college. He loves to cook for the household. This Family Sim wishes to be a Chef one day.

The last member is Shaun Lawson, a pledge who joined last time. He is enjoying the fruits (and veg) of Mickey Dosser's nature labours. Shaun is a Family Sim who wishes to graduate 3 kids from college!

The Frat house is always full of guests. Romeo Monty and Gavin Newson are here along with a friend they brought from their dorm.

Kay Lam (who recently joined the Sorority House) and Shaun have 3 bolts of attraction- let's see if they can stay the course. 

Poor Mickey is being put through his paces by his long suffering campus coach.. "You're a pizza loving slacker Dosser! 50 star jumps, right now!".

Candice fell in love with Marcel (extremely long surname) and 3 bolt love and wanted to get engaged this time. She did then spent the rest of the time dancing with Gavin Newson.

Turns out Gavin was poorly- he must've caught the same bug that Romeo Monty got last time.

Candice soon cured him with a bowl of her hearty vegetable soup.

Francis J has influencing down to a T and his latest pledge Cooper Lee soon helped Francis finish that term's paper.

Francis asked Cooper to move in just after that as his pledge period ended. It will be nice not to see him in Graduation robes all the time!

Romance Sim Cooper is looking to have woohoo with 20 Sims, looks like his college life will be colourful. ;)

As Candice completed her half semester Mickey graduated! 3.5 GPA- he'll stay in college until his turn on the list.

Shaun has pretty good skills and he loves to sew. He likes making outfits and curtains.

Cooper joined the other Frat members by being inducted into the Secret Society- His welcome was a little stilted as the other members were all cowering from a hailstorm.

These two members autonomously fell in love. Maybe eventually they will join the other playables.

One of the first things Mickey wished to do was learn Lifelong Happiness.

Matthew got the Llama mascot to help him with his term paper.

Francis J talked with Candice about life after college. 

Then spent some time dancing the smustle with Matthew while Cooper played games.

Meanwhile Mickey was once again being yelled at by the campus coach!

It's not as if he doesn't get any exercise! ;)

Matthew and Cooper finished their half semesters.

The boys enjoyed some pork chops for a change.

Meanwhile Mickey was working on some gentle yoga.

The upstairs was very hot and poor Shaun was the second (after Mickey) to actually pass out from the heat.

Thankfully Cooper was walking by and doused Shaun in water.

Yes! Mickey finally went into a normal weight range. Where's the campus coach now eh?

Matthew learnt all about Parenting.

It was Candice's turn to overheat but thankfully she didn't pass out.

Mickey's time at college is almost over but not before his pal Shaun gave him a gift- is it curtains or an outfit? Time will tell. ;)

Candice used a pledge to do her term paper too- it's almost time for her final exam.

Looks like Mickey had finally listened to the coach and made a healthy super salad instead of bringing home pizza.

Seemed like everyone enjoyed eating healthily now and again.

Candice returned from her exam and has finished her Sophomore year with a top grade. 

Summary-

Candice really isn't a very exciting Sim to play but in this house there is never a dull moment. Rarely she actually has 3 bolts with a lot of Sims so maybe I was hasty with the engagement but we'll see how the round plays out.

Mickey will leave during his round and Matthew will Graduate also. 

I have lots of pledges but am holding off having them join the house so other playables can during their turns if they wish. 

Dustin Broke- Freshman Year

 

Here is Dustin as a young adult ready to start his college journey. He aged up into this outfit and I quite like his choice so he will keep it!

The Uni attached to Pleasantview is Académie Le Tour. In the original game this is a small 8 bedroom dorm.

However I have remodeled it into a small 6 bedroom dorm in order to have more room for relaxation and study.

First come gets best choice and so Dustin chose a double bedroom for himself.

Dustin had barely met a couple of fellow students when the resident Coach appeared and made him work out immediately.

After that Dustin was about to meet another dormie when he turned to see what his fellow student was looking at. "Was that guy naked?" asked Dustin. His dormie friend told him that these were actual adults but very silly ones who loved to come back to campus to streak. 

Dustin has an affinity for Nature and so started some vegetable plots next to the one fruit tree he could afford.

Later he visited the campus lot called Waffle Way Shoppes. I think he'll never come again, there's barely anything here to hold any interest.

He did however meet a couple of students in suits so talked to them for a while.

He also met Armando Gray who had become a playable recently.

Before he left he had the urge to cook hotdogs and shared them with some fellow students.

The next day Fortune Sim Dustin chose a major in Political Science. Any major is good for Dustin as he wishes to earn 100K. He had the resident Llama mascot help with his term paper.

Later after his first final exam Dustin earned a spot on the Dean's list and maxed his grade.

Dustin made a new best friend.

Soon he'd met all his fellow dorm mates and enjoyed a nice dinner with them.

Between class and tending the garden the semester was flying by. Dustin invited 3 'suits' over and befriended them.

Later Dustin awoke from a nap on the sofa,

Only to be handcuffed and put into a limousine by the young adult Demi Love.

Unfortunately once the secret society lot loaded, Dustin wasn't there- nor any other students as it seemed to be stuck in Buy mode. Saving the game from there brought this screen with Dustin arriving back at the dorm.

The next day Dustin was invited to Peerless park where he spent a few hours socialising with fellow nature lovers. As well as finding a couple of old boots he even caught a few fish.

It was very Autumnal once the sky cleared.

Tired after his days' fishing Dustin watched the cooking channel for a while.

Then fell asleep on the very shabby but comfy sofa.

When he awoke he invited his family over. Mum Brandi, brothers Beau & Alfie and Brandi's new husband Craig.

The brothers enjoyed talking to the more grown up young adults and Beau had a lot of laughs with the cow mascot.

After dinner they watched a movie before it was time for them to leave.

Dustin was almost late to his final exam!

But he made it just in time and finished his Freshman Year, still on the Dean's list and with a top grade.

Summary-

A good first year for Dustin.

I don't know what happened with the SS lot. I tried many suggested fixes but no luck. I have never had Sim PE and wouldn't have a clue how to use it.

So I have added a second college to Pleasantview and in future all new students will go there. It's a shame as I'm sure Dustin would have loved to have seen his brothers join his dorm.

I think at present Alexander Goth and his fiancee Chris, the Grundstrom brothers, the Sharpe family, the Friends (Max Flexor & Mitch Indie) and Delilah O'Feefe are already here in Académie le tour so I will of course be playing them. Just no SS visits.
