Beare Family

 

Welcome to our first outing at Uni! We are at SimState University which is attached to Strangetown in my game.

In the spirit of keeping things alphabetically I shall only be controlling the Sim who I am here to play.


Here he is... Kevin Beare. He is a Family Sim with a LTW to become an Education Minister. He is in his Freshman Year and is a Psychology Major which is fine for his career unless he rolls a wish to choose another Major.

I will of course make sure his house mates have the necessary skills for their course this year and will each do one assignment. Other than that it's up to them to take themselves to class/amuse themselves.


This is Joshua Ruben... the bringer of pizza. He's perpetually hungry it seems but it's good because only Castor Nova has cooking skills so far.


Here is Castor talking with Ashley Pitts.. Ashley is the oldest in the house- he's in his Sophomore year.


Kevin invites people over to the Greek house- lead by Martin Ruben (brother of Joshua).


Kevin is most pleased of all to welcome the cool girls from the Sorority House.


His big wish is to fall in love, he checks out all the ladies... he likes Allegra,


and Jane Stacks... in fact pretty much every girl he 'checked out' seemed to meet his criteria.. or maybe he's a bit desparate for love?!


Martin catches up with his brother.


Kevin can chat with his professor to boost his class skill...


and actually go to class too... :)


Upon moving in I sold everything in the loft space- including the staircases... (I don't want Sims wasting time hiking up and down those). I bought Kevin a nice bed and changed the lounge area a little to include the piano and a chess table.


The next day Tiffany came by... Kevin seems to like her the most and keeps rolling wishes to talk to her etc. 

Things were going so well until the PT coach came by and started to scream at Kevin to get in shape... he was so mortified she made him do this in front of everyone, especially Tiffany.


The next morning after he had made a bunch of daisies on his newly acquired Floristry bench he started getting himself into shape.


Well of course the results won't be instant but if he tries hard enough...


and maybe eats a little less of the free pizza... he should get there!


The first semester flew by in a breeze.


The guys discuss their summer plans over breakfast... 


hmm, there's much cheating in chess before the party guests arrive that Kevin has invited.


The Mascot is always entertaining to the Young Adults.


Kevin went in for a flirt with Tiffany right in front of Joshua who obviously had a crush on her (unbeknown to me).


Well I guess he doesn't anymore. :D


He was still ranting about it later on to her house mate Brittany Upsnott.


After the party Kevin got back to working on his Bronze floristry whilst Castor  started playing with a bunch of leaves.


As Ashley and Castor consume yet another pizza Kevin works on his Yoga skill..


hmmm, not sure 'FacePlant' is actually a yoga move though. 


Still, his hard work paid off and Kevin got himself in better shape!


He finally felt confident enough to ask Tiffany on a date...


which came with a bit of a slap from Joshua who clearly hadn't got over his crush.


Tiffany however didn't seem phased at all and spent the night.


The next morning Kevin already has his thoughts on engagement... 


But as the Year has come to a close, that will have to wait until next time!

Well that was a fun year. I guess I shot myself in the foot a bit not checking all the guys histories but sometimes that makes the game play itself out a bit more.
Just one change in status in the Greek house even though they all seemed to be constantly talking! No outings this time either as the house always seemed full of Sims.
Next is the Bell Family.

  1. Great year at the Frat house! In my game, Castor and Tiffany had pink hearts from the start. Loved the face plant Yoga move! 🤣
    Do you make everyone write their term papers or just have them do the one assignment and get their skills?

    1. It certainly was a fun year. :)
      I just have each Sim do one assignment, get the skills needed and hope they go to class... which they all did. :)
