Parmeley- William, Freshman Year

 

Here we are still in Riverblossom Hills but at LFT University to visit with William Parmeley who I added to college as he is a friend of Jules O'Mackey. Also here is newly added friend of Jules and former paperkid Robin Wheeler and they all joined Jacob Martin who was here first and is about to start his Sophomore Year.

To set the scene, Jacob & Jules were teen sweethearts until he broke it off to go out with Sandra Roth, William has a crush on Jules, and so does Robin! Whilst it isn't Sandra Roth's turn yet (but it soon will be, hee hee) we will see how things play out this first year!

William is a Popularity Sim with a LTW to be a General and so he is Majoring in History- he also loves meeting new people.

Jacob is also a Popularity Sim who wants to be a Media Magnate. He loves to Garden and has already earned a Bronze Badge. Last round he also wanted to have his teen friend Melody Tinker join the dorm as well but it's a while until she will be played.

Of course last time Jacob made plenty of contacts and it was that which saw him get inducted into the Secret Society.

An unusual bit of drama at the Secret Society lot when a student got eaten by a cowplant. As there was a resurrection phone on the lot I had Jacob call the Grim Reaper...

hmm, Jacob was a bit stingy with the funds and poor Blazej Mace ended up a Zombie!

Another student had a breakdown over it all while the others carried on playing their games. 

The 'Doctor' came along and soon the suffering student was cured, Blazej (who is now playable) left the lot and Jacob went back to the dorm. I added Blazej to another dorm and he will be played next round.

While William is at class Jules, Robin & Jacob all enjoy a good dance off.

William is the most helpful Sim around the dorm, often autonomously cleaning up after everyone.

He also enjoys meeting new people on a daily basis and has just befriended Almeric Davis.

Robin is also a Popularity Sim and wanted to join the Greek House. She got accepted after befriending the other members. She may move into the main house when it's her turn on the list. Robin, like fellow Popularity dorm mates Jules and Jacob wants to reach the top of the Journalism career and like them is an Art Major.

Soon it was exam time and they all passed the semester.

William got straight to work on his assignment.

unlike the others... Jules danced, Robin wrote a journal entry and Jacob is about to watch a movie.

William chatted to a fellow student over breakfast. She's not a dormie but we haven't seen the other dormie for a while... must be hiding in his room. :D

Then he and Jules enjoyed an early morning dance, even though William has interest in Jules she doesn't show any in him, romantically that is.

Jacob is the first to finish the year and will be a Junior next round.

He went straight to his vegetable plots and earned a Silver Gardening Badge.

As he was watching Jacob's attempt at catching fireflies William suddenly realised he was late for his final!

Jules and Robin arrived back from their Art Exam and are now Sophomores.

Then when my attention was diverted elsewhere Jules threw herself into Robin's arms!

and now they are in love.

William is last to finish his final exam and next time around he too will be starting his Sophomore Year.

Summary,

A fun round here at Uni, I don't think I took them off the lot at all this round which is unusual for me but it's fair to say they entertained themselves while I sat back. 

I didn't expect Jules and Robin to fall in love and am looking forward to the next round whenever that will be, will Sandra Roth join the dorm, will Melody Tinker?  If so they will need to move to a bigger dorm!

 All these possibilities before it's Robin's turn on the list! 

Ottomas Family

 

Here are the Ottomas family moving into Riverblossom Hills.

They had enough funds to sparsely furnish the house; downstairs a lounge, kitchen and a bedroom for grandma Dora with a small bathroom and a double bed & cot for Peter, Samantha and toddler Tommy.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, for now just one bathroom is furnished and there are two beds, one for Sharla and one for David.

Pregnant Samantha walked straight to work in the Education Field, it is her wish to be an Education Minister while students David and Sharla go straight to school. 

Peter had a wish to paint and Grandma Dora played with Tommy.

The welcome wagon of Cyd Roseland, Nathan Gavigan and Chester Gieke (not pictured) were greeted by Peter just as he left for work and were still here when Samantha finished work and Sharla school. She so desperately wanted someone to cheer for her A+! 

A little later Dora and David came home from their respective Elder/Teen jobs and David looked most bemused at his Grandma celebrating, she was certainly happy to be home!

David is a decent older brother and helped Sharla with her homework. Peter was busy with the toddler and exhausted Samantha had been in bed for some time.

On Tuesday morning after Peter had helped David with his assignment Peter earned a skill, Dora did a dance, Sharla played on the pc and David talked to a friend.

Peter was at the level of Sports Columnist in the Journalism field but his hearts desire was to master the Culinary career and so he found himself that job on Tuesday where he started as a Drive Through Clerk for his first shift.

In the very early hours of Wednesday morning Samantha went into labour.

She had twin girls! Molly & Polly. :D

The day was clearly so hectic few pictures were taken but David reached the top of his teen career and Samantha became a High School Teacher (yep- she hired a nanny and went straight back to work- hello career reward bookcase!)

Tommy also had his birthday! The twins cots are in Dora's old bedroom and her bed has been moved upstairs to Sharla's room. Tommy will share a room with David. 

Thursday was a Snow Day! Sharla invited her good friend Jane Mace over for a snowball fight.

Even though they came indoors Jane never warmed up much but she seems happy. :D

Tommy too stayed outside too long but soon warmed up against the cosy fire.

Dora made her famous soup which soon hit the spot for everyone. 

The twins were helped into Toddlerhood by Samantha and Dora. They have unusual features and I can't quite tell which parent they get them from or if in fact they get their features from their Grandma. :)

 

David finally got an A+ on Friday and was an overachiever. He hasn't rolled a wish for college yet and wants to be a Rock God so maybe higher education isn't really on his mind.

Samantha is doing well in her career and has avoided receiving chance cards so far! She is a University Guest Lecturer by the end of Friday.

Friday is also Sharla's birthday!

She rolled Pleasure and like her brother David (who is a Popularity Sim) wishes to be a Rock God(ess). 

Sharla chose to grow up her freezing friend Jane Mace! Poor Jane is still grey but the plan is to put them both in college and hopefully she'll get some colour back. :D

Peter's promotions have not come easily or quickly but he is a Fast Food Shift Manager and he is best friends with most of his kids, his wife and his Mother!

On Saturday Dora took the kids Downtown to the Cold Issue Clothing company where David met and talked to Sandra Roth.

Sharla was the only one who wanted new clothes and she came home looking very different and stylish. Maybe not winter ready but hey, teenagers! :D

There was drama in the kitchen when David tried to make dinner for the family.

Luckily Samantha kept her cool (and they had a fire alarm) so David was saved from the fire.

As if there hadn't been enough Drama for the day Dora's time was up, Samantha was able to get outside just in time to see her mother-in-law pick up her suitcase and Mojito. Aww bye Dora.

All family members got inheritance from Dora, even the toddlers.

On Sunday the kids were all up early to make the most of their Mum's super skilling bookcase.

Peter (who is now a Host) made best friends with Molly.

Even though she got the Hula girls Dora wasn't in Platinum when she died and so Samantha made a pretty area of remembrance right where Dora's tomb lay out the front of the house.

Sunday evening is party time for the twins and for David!

First to grow up were Polly & Molly.

Then everyone gathered for David's turn.

Peter came home from work just in time to see his son become an adult to finish this rather busy week here at the Ottomas household!

Summary-

This was actually a pretty fun week, poor Samantha was mostly exhausted but I sent her to work for the funds. :D

David never wished for college at all and as he was so close to adulthood it made sense to grow him up where I'm sure next round he may wish to move out.

Peter managed some back to back promotions and finished the week as a Prep Cook (hello Cooking career reward!).

Dora was a very helpful Grandma besides doing her Elder job she mostly took care of the babies and served food, a lot. :D

See you next round! :)
