We're still in Belladonna Cove but this time at its University of Sim State for the Freshman Year of Sofia Baldwin.
This is the original 8 room Plaza Dorms.
Except I have revamped it. Downstairs still has the entryway lounging/desk and now darts area and originalish kitchen but on the other side is one big room (save for a small bathroom) for reading/tv/chess and two computers plus stereo.
Upstairs are all 7 bedrooms. (Yes I had to lose one to fit in two separate shower rooms for boys/girls and still keep a small seating area as well as the outside access). But I'm good with that.
Moving in here are of course Sofia Baldwin, Justin Cleveland and a new sim Kerie Long (former paperkid who Sofia had her first date with). Sofia, the pleasure sim wishes to have 50 first dates but that is unlikely now.
I originally moved Sofia and Kerie into Justin's original dorm then decided I can't go another round seeing the same old dorms so I revamped a couple and built a new one. But it was here in the first dorm that Kerie and Sofia autonomously fell in love, they do have 3 bolts and so I think I will change Sofia's aspiration after Sophomore year, possibly Kerie too as she is a Romance sim but has a career LTW so we will see.
They shared their first kiss before I moved them into their new dorm. It's simply called Revamped Plaza Dorms. ;)
Justin made a best friend- he's a Popularity Sim who wishes to be a General one day.
The new big living area is great for when lots of students come visiting.
Kerie has a love of Nature and so I set her to start her own little vegetable patch.
After which she joined Sofia for the dorm cooks' good mac 'n' cheese where they got to know a couple of fellow dormies.
Bright and early the next day Sofia chose her major (Literature- same as Kerie) and enjoyed a solo dance.
Justin picked History for his major and he and Sofia needed to earn a skill each before class. The new 'bubble blower' fits nicely into the living area too.
Being a former NPC Kerie already has really good skills so decided to catch some butterflies... she did release them afterwards!
Some fun time at the bubble blower with one of the other dormies.
Justin's friend the Llama mascot wanted a chat so Sofia took his place and it wasn't long before she was flying 'high'. :)
The first semester was soon over, these aren't all dormies- some of them were just visitors who'd left the lot for class.
Having combined funds the dormies could afford a few nice things and so bought bathroom cabinets that enabled them to wash their faces and clean their teeth.
Yes the boys bathroom had one too. ;)
Justin and Sofia are best friends, he does have an attraction to Sofia but she is really into her 3 bolt mate. Still, you can never have enough good friends.
Occasionally even the dorm cook has a bad day and burns the dinner.
Justin went off to tell Sofia & Kerie but they were in the middle of a pillow fight.
Sofia did step up a little later though and made some pork chops for dinner while Justin distracted the dorm cook by chatting to him.
Almost to the end of the year and the friends had only ventured out once to a college lot to buy phones and clothes so they went Downtown to The House of Blues where both Kerie & Sofia feared Karaoke- who knew? they must be shy.
Sofia had a nice talk with Nathan Gavigan whose family used to live in the apartment opposite her parents' before they recently moved.
Justin had done lots of scoping both at the college lot and here but has yet to find anyone more attractive than Kimberly Cordial who he shows 2 bolts for.
Finally though it's the end of Freshman Year and all three Sims find their way onto the Dean's list.
We leave Sofia writing her journal entry for Freshman year!
Summary-
The dorm plays well and having all the bedrooms upstairs (mainly) stopped other visitors from going up there. Also there's not been any routing issues that I've found so far.
Next it'll be the Beaker family in Strangetown.
