Here we are at La Fiesta Tech which is located in Riverblossom Hills to welcome Jacob Martin to University!
Jacob has moved into a small 5 bedroom dorm. The first dormie he met was Shenene Wilkie.
Then Hunter Leelaporn.
Lauren Hamilton joined next.
and finally Renaud Smith. A good mix of boys and girls.
Of course the dorm cook keeps them all well fed which is good for Jacob as the only real skill he has is Creativity at the moment.
After declaring Art as his major (this Popularity Sim wishes to be a Media Magnate) he visited the Mirage Shopping Centre on Campus, bought a phone and Magazines and met some fellow students.
Jacob learnt some new topics for conversation. I'm never quite sure how this works as it seems the more you learn in one subject, the more you lose in others... so I try to keep a good mix of each subject.
Jacob is getting to know his fellow dormies.
He also meets and greets anyone who passes by.
and of course he's good friends with his Professor, who always comes and rings the bell.
Jacob hasn't forgotten his friends back home and invited Melody over to the dorm in the hope that she may wish to join him one day.
He's got lots in common with Kerie Bradshaw too.
Jacob also invited Sandra over later that day, he likes to keep his future options open!
As seems to often be the case in Uni a fellow student will drop down anywhere to do an assignment! Jacob is desperate for a shower after working out hard today for body skills.
A little later he joined Lauren and Hunter watching the cooking channel.
and his first exam of the semester is over!
Jacob's Professor is proud of the hard work he put in and they are very good friends, but purely platonic.
To let loose a bit Jacob went downtown to the Crypt O'Nightclub. He met some new folks and enjoyed some dancing.
He made a bit of a fool of himself falling out of the dance o'sphere but then most Sims do!
He also enjoyed a nice steak dinner while chatting to his server.
William Williamson walked past and stopped for a chat.
Nature lover Jacob started his own garden. This Uni is set to have just Spring and Summer seasons so the garden should thrive in the sunshine although thunderstorms are frequent.
As the resident Streaker ran off Jacob made a best friend.
He and Shenene are great friends too and Jacob got 'stuck' with a dancing face. :)
Catching fireflies gave a bit of a green glow to the porch in the evening.
It's party time! This is the first time Jacob has wished to throw a party and he invited his friends over as well as his fellow dormies joining in.
Melody came to the party and they enjoyed a good dance.
As Daisy Greenman left the room Jacob got his great party memory.
Another best friend for Jacob. He gets a good nights' sleep in his Dad's old bed which he was gifted before leaving for Uni.
and final exam time is here, and done. That's Freshman Year over for Jacob.
Summary.
A good first year for Jacob. I didn't have him find a love interest as I am hoping to move both Sandra and Melody in during the course of the round to see if there are still attractions between any of them. Heh, maybe I should put Jules O'Mackey in there too? :D
I'd definitely put all three girls in that dorm and see what happens :-D
ReplyDeleteJacob did very well, making lots of friends and sitting his exams. What's he majoring in? (Maybe you said and I didn't see it.)
Funny to see the NPC students in your game - they look exactly the same as in my game but have different names.
[As you can see, I have tried again to comment - and it worked just fine... but I am on a different computer than when I first tried, and got stuck in the loop of "logging in" although I already WAS logged in...]
I think you are right, a bit of a dilemma might be just what Jacob needs, or at least it will be fun when it all goes horribly wrong. :D
DeleteJacob is majoring in Art, Creativity is pretty much his only skill so it seemed apt.
It is odd how all NPC students have different names each time I play a new 'hood and different from yours too, it must be truly random. :)
Glad you were able to comment, thanks for stopping by. :)
I've noticed that the NPC students have the same appearance and different names in different playthroughs, too - there seems to be a set pool of appearances, but the game generates a new name each time. I always look out for the versions of the NPC students who have become playable in my game and remade in TS3 - none here yet, though.
ReplyDeleteI see romantic drama in the future for Jacob.. looking forward to seeing how it all plays out
