We're back in Riverblossom Hills at La Fiesta Tech to continue the lives of Sophomores Robin Wheeler and Jules O'Mackey.
Both girls started Uni life in a dorm with Jacob Martin and William Parmeley but have moved to the Sorority House. (The former residents (Monica, Jessie, Sarah and DJ) met a swift death as I had no wish to replay them when I am already playing their versions in Veronaville).
There were plenty of household funds so a little makeover was in order. This time I put a downstairs bathroom opposite the kitchen, changed some walls/floors and furniture colours. Upstairs I made 4 bedrooms and split the large bathroom into two.
Robin was originally Riverblossom Hills' paperkid, she always liked Jules and they were the best of friends so it was fitting they went to Uni together, they are currently in love but who knows what will happen in the future.
Robin and Jules are Popularity Sims who wish to be Media Magnates one day.
Jules used one of the desks to work on her assignment.
Every student who walked by is greeted but it's very annoying that they are so obsessed with studying when they visit a house!
Jules started to talk to the 'suited' students who came by.
Dinner is always a busy affair, it's rare to see just one extra student here.
The girls worked out together to reach Robin's goal of getting super fit.
It still amuses me when one student walks in on another in the shower purely for the expression on their face (and the scream). :D
Jules took the opportunity to recruit a pledge to clean, cook and do college work for both she and Robin.
Robin maxed her body skill.
Then greeted her former dorm mates, Jacob, William and Sandra (Roth) as well as Zoe Zimmerman.
Robin made best friends with Sandra Roth who was looking a bit cold.
Jules and her former boyfriend Jacob had a good chat with Jasmine Rai.
Guest Sandra made best friends with her dorm mate William and she'd warmed back up.
oh no here comes the killjoy coach...
Jules figured out the best way to distract her is to talk to her!
Phoebe finally spent enough time pledging to join the Sorority and said yes when Jules asked her.
She raided the house wardrobe for a new look.
Phoebe Deppiesse is a Romance Sim who wishes to woohoo 20 Sims. She is added to the playable list.
Robin recruited a new pledge, she may not join this year but it doesn't hurt to have someone new to get to do lots of jobs for free. :D
They went to the local store to get clothes, electronics and meet some new students.
Jules got whisked to the LFT Secret Society.
oops the cowplant spawned a cake and a fellow SS member took it.
He died of course.
Jules felt bad and so used the Paranormal phone to call the grim reaper. She paid good money to have her fellow SS member brought back to life.
Of course I forgot that he is added to the household and so was waiting at the mailbox when Jules returned to the Sorority.
As he's a guy he's not welcome in this all girls house so I moved him to a dorm where he will join the playable list... he's Dorian Benson and we will see him next round.
Meanwhile Jules finished her Sophomore Year top of the class.
Followed by Robin. :)
Summary-
This was a quick year as I'd already played most of their first semester at the dorm before they moved here.
It's amazing the things you forget such as adding a revived Sim to your household!
I do find it confusing when existing Sims are 'doubled' such as Zoe Zimmerman & Jasmine Rai (where I'm playing them in Veronaville) but I'm not killing them all off unless I find it necessary.
I like it how similar Jules and Robin are in many ways - same hairstyle, same lifetime want. They make a sweet couple, and it is nice that Jacob Martin is still a friend, even though the romantic feelings between him and Jules have ended.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to keep a sorority or fraternity going! I like how you changed the house a bit.
As I have added each of the three pre-made unis only once, meaning some 'hoods have no uni at all, I don't have the "double" playable students like you do, but if I had, I suppose I'd put them in the student bin and just leave them there :-)
I only just noticed they shared the same hairstyle as I was writing the blog. :D
DeleteI do get fed up of the same decor so like to change things up and it helps me differentiate the various houses especially if they are duplicates.
Ah that makes sense about the Uni's, but I did assign one to each of my 'hoods so all teens got the chance if they wanted to go.
Good idea though to move the YA's out in future, I'll keep that in mind next round. :)
