D J Verse - Senior Year

 
Here we are back in Veronaville's University town of La Fiesta Tech at the Tri-Fruhm Sorority to visit with D J Verse and her fellow Greek house members.

Last time during their round Jasmine Rai and Zoe Zimmerman left the Shifting Paradymes house upon Gunner Roque's graduation to move in here and so 4 members become 6.

DJ is the creative type, she wished for garden plots and soon got her bronze gardening badge.

The next morning Monica Bratford graduated with a 4.0 in Art.

She threw herself a graduation party.

Then moved into this little home in Veronaville.

I usually stick around long enough for the free pc to be delivered (unless they already have one in their backpack) so I can place it and they can then be communicated with during the round.

Back at the Sorority Jasmine is embracing the phenomenon known as free pizza forever.

Sarah Love invited her boyfriend Matthew Hart over, he is sporting an unusual lamp on his head. :D

Jasmine (who wishes to have 20 best friends) made another in DJ.

While DJ works on a new pottery hobby the girls eat cheesecake.

Unusually for a Family sim Sarah wished to write a term paper. Perhaps it's her wish of becoming Chief of Staff one day that drives her. 

Romance Sim Jessie just loves to flirt with new people. She wants to be a Celebrity Chef one day and strangely for a Romance sim always wishes to play chess. :D

She can add Physiology to the list of books she's read now.

Sarah spent too long in the hot tub and passed out from overheating. With a mixture of the spring/spring/summer/summer this 'hood is set at it's almost tropical. :D

Jessie was the last one to finish the semester and came home with a found/stolen goodie. :D

Another battered sofa... it's all good for backpack material as they don't really need any more seating.

Over breakfast the next morning this happened! Jasmine completed her LTW, I hadn't been paying attention or keeping count.

Jessie passionately greeted her fellow student and lover Cooper Lee,

then jumped in the pool with Darren Chung & played Marco Polo.

In the hot tub once more and next to Darren is the unmasked Llama mascot.

There's rarely a need to throw a party when the house is always full of students although Jessie did throw a toga party or two, just because. ;D

A new day and a new pledge, Allyn McCarthy is the latest to pledge.

Sarah has Allyn help with her term paper for this semester.

Jessie has some fun with the Llama mascot.

and DJ who wishes to be a Celebrity Chef one day invited her boyfriend Guy Wrightley over.

Allyn's pledge period is over and she is invited to move in.
She is a Family Sim who wishes to reach her Golden Anniversary. After fulfilling one wish she rolled to declare Literature as her Major.

Sarah meanwhile had taken Matthew to the vanity mirror to change his hairstyle and so the lamp on his head was no more. 

DJ completed her term paper whilst Zoe enjoyed the just-out-of-shot piano player.
The only downside to the Spring/Summer set up is no Autumn bonuses for college so they have to actually do a bit of work to keep their grades up :D

DJ got a silver badge in Pottery which means she can now make pretty jugs.

and while she works on another Sarah learnt all there is to know about Parenting.

Family Sim Allyn's big wish is to fall in love and she's checking out some fellow students though none has any great attraction for her yet.

Both Jasmine and Zoe spend way too long in the hot tub.

They didn't quite need dousing in water to revive them but came indoors and after some food and a few glasses of water they got their normal colour back, eventually.

Allyn also knows all about Parenting now. She also likes to Garden which will be handy when DJ, who just earned her Silver badge, Graduates.

It was around this point in the game I realised that time seemed to have frozen in the Greek House and I can only trace it back to when Allyn joined the house. So when Guy called to invite DJ on a date she took all the household with her. (not very romantic, but needs must).

The others did at least stay in the corner and play pool while Guy and DJ enjoyed dinner.

Jasmine got her meal thrown all over her before they decided to head on back to college.

Thankfully as soon as they got back Sarah left for her final exam*, just as the SS turned up for Allyn!

They each left for their final exams and they all graduated, D.J last of the three.

Sarah grew up and left first. She got a 4.0 in Biology.

Jessie got a 3.9 in Psychology.

and finally DJ, who graduated with a 4.0 in Biology. 
Summary-

Thankfully the time seem to be moving again normally for everyone (*I used the college clock hack to jump DJ, Sarah & Jessie's time forward for final exams* -I've no idea how many 'extra' days I must have played before I noticed) and so the originals moved out without issues back to Veronaville leaving Jasmine, Zoe and Allyn here.
 
We'll be back here for Zoe's turn at the end of the round but next it's another visit to the Viejo house in Riverblossom Hills.

Brittany Upsnott- Senior Year

 
Brittany is the oldest Sorority member and about to start her Senior Year. She is in a house with Romance loving Heather Huffington and the studious Tiffany Sampson.

Brittany is a Popularity Sim which almost goes against the grain of her very mean nature. She wishes to be the Mayor of Strangetown one day so perhaps that mean streak will help her weave her way through the political minefield.

During the last round Katy Hunicke moved into the Greek house, she is engaged to Erik Swain. Heather is engaged to Martin Ruben and Tiffany to Kevin Beare which leaves the aloof Brittany the singleton of the household.

Of course Heather is a terrible flirt and can't help talking to any man who walks by. Katy invited Erik over for some fun.

It turned out that Erik's 'need' was as strong as Katy's!


Even though she has a mean personality Brittany still enjoys making friends and bagged herself her 10th best friend.

She decided to celebrate with a Toga party.

It was a full house full of friends old and new,

Brittany loved to play pranks on her guests.

With the heavy snow of winter falling Tiffany started to build a snowman but got too cold to finish it,

Brittany enjoyed the free pizza that is prolific in this household,
then went outside and finished off the snowman, adding her own 'evil' touches.

seconds later she launched herself at said snowman,

then destroyed it. Look at her patting herself on the back. :D

She went to the campus shops to get groceries, so many visitors always in the house means the fridge is always emptied- even though there is free pizza on almost every available surface.

Before she went home she shared some gossip with her pledge Yvette St Julien,

and back home asked a new student to become a pledge. 

Yvette came wandering by in her old fashioned overcoat and Brittany asked her to move in now that her pledge period is over. 
Yvette is a Family Sim who wishes to become a Celebrity Chef, she is engaged to Jared Starchild. She added 1K to the pot.

Heather does as little studying as she has to, going to class when she must and spends the rest of the time making out with her fiance.

The girls do occasionally do normal things like try out new recipes, get some skills and keep up their friendships.

Brittany is the first to finish the half semester.

She gets her fun back up by smustling with Tiffany and Katy.

Yvette wasted no time having her fiance Jared over for some mutual woohoo.

Then decided to ditch her dull outfit and get another and also tone her make up down a tad.
I'm keeping the Hat for now as it distinguishes her as a Secret Society member to other students.

Tiffany earned herself a bronze gardening badge,

Katy knows all about Physiology now,

and after a day of heavy studying for everyone it was time for a night out Downtown,

The girls had fun at FM,

Brittany and Katy doubled up for Karaoke.

and a brave townie took on the Contessa Anna LeTourneau. Strangely there have been several vampire fights this round yet no one has been turned into one autonomously.

Yvette was interested in Mechanics and set about creating robots.

Heather too likes Gardening, she and Tiffany share the workload.

Another pledge to order around, um I mean get to do helpful things around the house. :D

Yvette has moved on from Robots to Hydrobots and Cleanbots. She made sure to gift Brittany one of each. 

Just in time too for Brittany has Graduated. 4.0 GPA in Drama.

Deciding not to hang around Brittany threw herself a Graduation party,

then grew up by the mailbox and left for Strangetown,

and here she is moved into her new home ready for next time.

Summary-
A fun round at the Sorority as always. I tried to fulfill a wish or two for each girl this time. There is another couple of pledges that have just become full members so they could potentially move in next time we're at the Greek house.
Brittany wasn't so mean to anyone this time except the snowman but she still has shown no interest in finding a partner, maybe her career will be her life?
