Ty Bubbler- Round 2

 
Here we are in Strangetown's Sim State University at the Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity House. I decided as funds were decent it was time to revamp the living and kitchen areas...

I originally took down the kitchen wall to make it open plan but have now added a half wall which breaks up the space. A colour change on the living room walls and floor followed to brighten up the house a bit.

We are here though for Ty Bubbler's turn. He's gaming with his housemates Jared Starchild, Castor Nova and Charlie Dallas. Also living here is Merlin Louie but he's out of shot.

But Ty's college time has almost ended, he graduated on his last turn with a 3.9 in Philosophy so is throwing a party to celebrate his final hours at the Greek House.

Here's his final shot with his buddy Castor Nova before a taxi was called and farewell's were said.

This is Ty's new home, he has picked the Blue rental house.

He can't afford to rent it furnished so made do with the basics. He does have some goodies in his backpack too.

This is the upstairs, one bedroom and bathroom.

Ty popped down to the shops to buy some bits and pieces and on his return met one of his neighbours' Neil Chalmers.

This is Ty's chosen outfit. He spent the rest of the day talking to people walking by particularly taking a liking to Naenae.

He was pleased to find another one of his neighbours' was his former house mate Joshua Ruben! They shared some gossip about Brittany Upsnott.

Popularity sim Ty, who wishes to become a General one day, decided to take the Showbiz career as nothing else was available and so this Tuesday he left for work as a Commercial Actor.

Never gets less funny. :D

Ty got promoted to Cartoon Voice and invited Naenae over to celebrate.

With his promotion he could afford to furnish his living room,

and upgrade his bathroom. The bed and desk were in his backpack from college.

Ty left for his evening shift on Wednesday and ended up doing a double shift thanks to a promotion. He's now a Supporting Player.

On Thursday Ty had his college friends Castor and Merlin over as well as Professor Schweber his former tutor.
He left for work later and returned as a Broadway Star.

On Friday Ty had the day off and attempted an outing. (His first, on Monday night ended up with the 'cannot believe you stood me up' message before the taxi could even arrive and so Ty chose to stay home).
Anyway- Ty created a Group and invited them all that way.

and here they are at Doc Alan's Hangout, he's with his former college buddies of course but did meet some new and unusual neighbours.

I don't think I've played this lot much before as I never realised there was a gyro cart outside. 

It was a good evening only confirmed when Jared dropped off a gift later- a sunflower vase. 

Ty woke up to work on a body skill but I never looked at his aspiration- which was only green- and therefore his moods plummeted and he lost a skill.

Once he was recovered it was time for Ty to restock his fridge.

Because it was time for the Saturday gathering. The Landlady sprang for pizza though so Ty's fridge stayed full. Ty met his other neighbour Nikki Zhang as well.

Ty's shift later saw him already earning 25K... possibly the reason Military has been forsaken, for now. :)

On Sunday and in a better mood Ty maxed his body skill.

He had friends Allegra and Uma over- he and Uma had often been at loggerheads during college due to love triangles/ etc. but now that was all forgotten as they became best friends.

and later that night (or very early hours into Monday) Ty is the next Leading Man.
He has 30 friends and is quite a popular Popularity Sim. 

Summary- A good fun week at Ty's, he is truly a popularity Sim, he's always having friends call, or come over and the Showbiz career seems to suit him well.
I've decided that unless a Sim has a true 3 bolt affection for someone they will remain single- to try and control the populations a bit! 

Next family is back in Pleasantview with the Burb's.

Candice Bruenig- Sophomore Year

 
Here is Candice Bruenig at the Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity house in Veronaville's La Fiesta Tech University.

Yes that's right, Candice is in a house full of boys! She was a pledge some time back and I didn't realise that when she had the chance to move in she wouldn't get the opportunity to join either house- of course I wanted her at the Sorority but it was not to be. Lesson learnt though. ;)

Candice is a Family Sim who wishes to reach her Golden Anniversary, her college love is Marcel Roennigke, hmmm why is he thinking of cheating? Has he cheated? Has she? 

Also living here is Mickey Dosser and he is in his last semester of college. Hard to think he was almost kicked out in his second semester. His LTW is to woohoo 20 sims and he's working on it, so far he's got 5 on his list.

Mickey also loves his garden and is keeping the Frat House fridge well stocked.

Candice got asked on an outing and took housemates Mickey, Francis J Worthington III and Darren Chung with her.

She met some new people and made a few new connections

Mickey found what he was looking for when he brought his woohoo number 6 home. :D

Matthew Hart makes up the final housemate. (Guy Wrightley graduated last time). Matthew is also a Family Sim- still kind of in love with Sarah Love (also graduated) but all he ever wants is to call Jessie Pilferson (again- graduated). When Matthew finally graduates his love life will take some decision making!

Matthew threw his energies into making some crepes for the household.

Francis, who'd designated himself as chief cook, appreciated the smell of the freshly baked crepes though.

Candice wished to and invited Marcel over every minute she could. Darren is often wanting to talk to her but he can't get a look in and he's really intended for Monica Bratford.

As the end of the semester drew to a close the students worked on their grades and skills.

Francis J was the first to run to his final exam, for him that's Sophomore Year.

and Darren was the last to come back, finishing his Freshman 1.

They settled down and did their assignments whilst Francis J was the first to do his term paper.

Matthew and Darren were next to want to do Term papers. I tend to only do them if a Sim wants to or unless they really have to. :D

The next morning Candice brought a stereo home, and that has gone into her backpack as is my rule if the house already has one.

Mickey, who was timed differently to his fellow housemates, graduated. For the second time only in his college life he got onto the Dean's list and finished with a very respectable 3.5GPA which was a far cry from the 2.0 he started his college life with. He will stay in the house until it's his turn on the list.

Mickey can now spend more time with his precious plants where he got into the zone.

and thinking of his LTW he made Virginia from the Secret Society his number 7 Woohoo.

Matthew brought home a battered chair. 

the mascots are at it again... :D

Over Breakfast the next day Francis couldn't help boasting about his 10 forever friends to his housemates. I know- I'm shocked too that he's made so many. 

Candice had Marcel over for a chat, she never particularly rolls romantic wishes but he is her 3 bolter.

Francis J has a few options with fellow students and quite fancies the cheerleader.

Mickey caught some fireflies.

Then threw himself into yoga to try and rid himself of his pizza belly.

Yay it's gone. 

hmmmm, maybe not for long eh?!

Candice knuckled down and soon finished her Sophomore Year. 

Summary-
A good year for Candice and the boys, she rolls typical family wishes and it seems cannot wait to be done with college to start her life as a Family Sim.
 We'll be back here for Darren's turn before long.
