Grundstrom Family- Sophomore 1

 

Here we are back at Académie Le Tour in Pleasantview where we are with the Grundstrom 'brothers'. (In truth they are each from a vacation spot but as they share the same name I have grown them from teen stage and added them to college as brothers).


If you recall they moved in with Alexander Goth to a dorm, but he has now moved to his own place on campus.


This brother is Pong, he is a Knowledge Sim with a wish to become a Criminal Mastermind. He is playing kicky bag with Yusun, a Secret Society member he shares a dorm with. He's hoping for membership soon...


as is Joe, (green shirt). He is also a Knowledge Sim but he desires to become Chief of Staff in the Medical profession. As you can see there are an abundance of Secret Society members in this dorm, and as both brothers already know Alexander they only need to befriend 2 more members to join.


Alex's girlfriend Chris drops round a gift for Alex, not yet realising he's moved out perhaps, but the brothers pocket it for it will bring some nice funds at some point.


Joe is learning how to cook.


Pong shares his first kiss with Yusun.


They enjoy a study session together.


Pong joins Joe watching a cooking programme,


when a Limousine pulls up outside.... 


who will get lucky first?


ah it's Pong. 


He dons some smart glasses and sets about befriending all the members.


He stayed for sometime, as the college clock ticks down all the time they are here it's a good way to have both Sims be on separate 'time lines'.


In making this young lady his friend he became Big Man on Campus.


When Pong arrived home he had breakfast with Joe before heading off to his final exam.


Joe is very vain, he's always whipping out his mirror to preen himself. :D


Pong is first to finish the semester.


He influenced a fellow dormie to do his term paper, then just before she finished he jumped onto the next pc and finished it himself (giving him a double boost to his attendance bar).


Meanwhile Joe was in the middle of a lovely conversation with a fellow dormie,


when this chap turned up...


and Joe was also inducted into the Voluvent Society.


Joe befriended Veronica Wong but wasn't in a good enough aspiration for smart glasses so after acquainting himself with everyone he went back home.


He was in a good enough mood for class though and also passed the Semester. 


Summary-

A good couple of days with the Grundstrom's, I didn't want them to get too far ahead of my other playables so as I'd just played them for a college year with Alexander I stuck to half a year this time which should keep the timings right. 

Easy to play Knowledge Sims, wanted to skill, dance, chat and of course I followed some of their wishes. They are a nice couple of Sims to play.

  1. Pong and Yusun make a nice couple, too - if only she would get rid of the horrid clown make-up :-) (I know you do this for the purpose of being able to tell who's in the SS and who isn't.)
    The "brothers" had a successful semester all round!

    1. Yes Pong and Yusun do make a good couple. You're right about this particular face mask, it is the creepiest I think. I shall have to come up with a new idea for the SS members. :D
