The Davis Brothers- Freshman Year

 

Here we are in Veronaville at La Fiesta Tech and just moved into this 6 bedroom Dorm are the Brothers Almeric & Aldric Davis along with William Williamson, Klara Vonderstein, Blossom Moonbeam and Stella Terrano.

Aldric settles himself down for breakfast with Stella whilst his brother is deep in conversation already with Blossom, or at least he was until Blossom's attention went to Aldric for a moment.


Things soon got even more exciting when Almeric was treated to a naked dance by the resident Streaker.


Here is Almeric... he is a Popularity Sim with a Lifetime wish to become the Mayor of Veronaville, (he may need to get in line behind Tybalt Capp). :D

He is Outgoing, Playful and Nice.

I wonder if he's writing his first speech?

Like his 2-minute older Twin, Aldric is also a Popularity Sim with the same personality- Outgoing, Playful and Nice but he'd rather have a creative career and chooses to be a Rock God someday.


For the benefit of play I am only controlling the Sim who's 'turn' it is (or turns in the case of the Brothers) but of course I will get the other students their related skills and do a college assignment or two so they don't fall behind.


Aldric has a 'Big' wish to meet some new people and after dark they all head off to the LFT Student Union.


Aldric finds as many people in 'suits' as he can and starts to make acquaintances.


The whole party play some pool, eat some mac 'n' cheese and have a pretty good evening.

Almeric gets tired first and settles in for a little nap.

Too bad he could have discussed 'Who will be Mayor?' with Tybalt Capp but at least Aldric met him and can hopefully invite him over sometime.

The next morning Almeric is the first to wish for a Major and he chooses... Political Science...  no surprise there. :D

Not to be outdone Aldric wished for Economics... hmm, not sure that's the greatest for your career but it's always good to have a back up plan.

Blossom and William start their day skipping for a body skill.

Aldric invited a 'suit' over so he could befriend him properly.

and Almeric spent some time chatting to his professor on the phone before class...

which was good because he needed that boost to get his A+ for the half semester!

He was followed shortly after by his brother and William who share a class and Blossom who keeps the same hours.

Almeric made friends with William.

Aldric was interrupted at 11pm by a 'suit'.

He was handcuffed and driven away to this secret lot, the LFT Society.

Aldric scoped the Secret Society room and although he quite liked some of the girls it was no more than 1 bolt for anyone. He spent the time making fast friends (thank you smart glasses) and he soon had 9 new friends and became Big Sim on Campus (to fulfil his 'big' wish).

He also chose to makeover each member.

He went for some plain camo stripes... it is enough to differentiate between non SS students.

Almeric dashed out and met anyone walking by, he loves to chatter.

Aldric spent his grant money for the semester on a synthesizer... he does need some creativity skills after all and it can only help with his future musical career.

He and his brother spent some time working on a body skill each,

and later after class hung out and discussed college.

Aldric is always happy to lend a hand and in this case it's to help Stella mop the floors after a Cow Mascot thought it hilarious to set the sprinklers off.

Another outing and this time to the Wasteland Lounge where Aldric got some good practice in on his drumming skills with -'who'd-have-known-she-wasn't-so-serious-Klara' on the microphone!

Of course it's Gunnar Roque's band but he is quite impressed with the new members skills..

Almeric and Blossom enjoyed dancing to the tunes and Almeric got pink hearts for Blossom...

Gunnar was happy with Aldric's performance and invited him to be a permanent member of the band.

Shy Stella though very quiet this round enjoyed checking out this Secret Society member and forming a friendship.

Back at the dorm Almeric enjoyed supper with Blossom.

Then it was his turn to be approached by a guy doing a funny kind of dance...

ah, it was the 'secret handshake' don't you know.. Almeric now knows how to do it.

Of course time continues while at the SS lot and it's fine to go off to class, you arrive back at the SS lot after. You can even do a final exam whilst here just not your last ever Senior Year final. 

Before he went home Almeric met a new SS member and gave her the makeover.

Back at home and Aldric is the first to finish Freshman Year with an A+ and a spot on the Dean's list.

Almeric follows soon after.

Not sure who he made a best friend with... hopefully Blossom. :D

Not to be outdone and to have the final word for the week, Aldric too makes a friend and gets a nice boost of aspiration to finish!

This was a fun week for the brothers... lots of skills and friends. Aldric hasn't shown much interest romance wise but hopefully Almeric is well on the way to romance with Blossom... we'll have to wait until her turn to find out if she feels the same!

  1. The brothers had a lot going on! So many friendships in a short while - maybe I really should give the Smart Glasses a try, I have never used them in my game. Also, it's been a long time since I last had anyone become part of the Secret Society; could be good fun.
    I like it that Aldric is majoring in Economics - many a rock star has gone broke because their management ripped them off money-wise, and he'll know better :-D

    1. That's a good way to look at the Aldric's major. I'd never have thought of it, makes perfect sense though.
      The smart glasses are a great way to make friends, just make sure your sim is in Platinum, or Gold or it will backfire spectacularly!
      My self imposed rule for the SS has always been to become BSOC if initiated into it as there are always so many Sims in there.

  2. Oh, the Secret Society - I had completely forgotten that! I think I only had one or two sims join. I played TS2 for years and I still feel like there are features I never really got to know - which really says something about the quality of the game.

    1. It amazes me too that I still see things I've never seen after all this time. It's why I still love the game! :)
