Phoenix- Jimmy, Sophomore Year.

 

 We've just dropped in on Jimmy Phoenix at S.S.U Strangetown... oops! Sorry Jimmy!

Jimmy lives in this 5 bed dorm with Sam Thomas, Ty Bubbler, Erik Swain and Jared Starchild.

As Ty & Jimmy return from class Jimmy is happy as he met his new professors' after I changed his Major to Biology, he wants to be Captain Hero when he's all grown up.

Making the most of the so far dry Winter Jimmy starts working on some body skills.

He's back out there the next day.

Even as the first snow starts arriving the gang are all outdoors either playing, skilling or talking to friends.

Jimmy took them all to the campus shops so they could buy some phones.

A fight broke out between rival Mascots almost as soon as they got there.

Of course the Llama Mascot always wins!

Jimmy was so stinky he had to have a quick sponge bath.

Back at the dorm Jimmy was met by a Secret Society member.

and when he arrived there another fight was going on!

Jimmy managed to sidetrack everyone with his burnt pancakes... they must've been hungry as they ate them.

Jimmy and Sam are best friends. He hasn't shown any particular interest in dating anyone as yet.

With Winter being fully arrived 4 of the 5 have a big snowball fight in the yard. It looks more like everyone Versus Ty!

Sam came in to warm up by the fire when the SS gang came for her too.

Jimmy is the first to finish his Sophomore first semester.

He talked with Ty about the next assignment he has for Biology class.

Once the others had finished their half year exams they all went to let off some steam Downtown.

They had fun at the Lulu Lounge; drinking, dancing and meeting new people and just as they were going home Sam and Erik declared their love for each other. I love how Ty & Jared are still in their PJ's!

Ty had wanted for some time to join the Greek House, so the next day he made a call and the members came running over.

Ty was soon accepted when he made inroads into the 4 friendships.

Later that night it was Jared's turn to disappear to the Secret Society.

Now Erik and Sam spend their days like two loved up puppies. :D

 But Jimmy ends his Sophomore Year with a spot on the Dean's list.

When Ty came home from his exam he announced to the Dorm that he was leaving them to join the Greek House!

Summary-

A good few days here at the Dorm, controlling Jimmy mainly but I figured as Ty kept wishing to leave he may as well do it now.

I never had Erik & Sam interact at all, they did that all by themselves!

We'll be back here when it's Jared's turn on the list.

Peterson Family

 

Here we are still in Belladonna Cove to visit with Jessica Peterson.

Jessica lives here at the Trailer Park, her home is the little red one in the middle.

Jessica fell on hard times after her and Armand De Bateau split up but she is a Fortune Sim with a drive to become a Criminal Mastermind! Mwahahaha, she will rule the Neighbourhood!

Currently though Jessica is in the Slacker career and just returned home as a Record Store Clerk, the Criminal career is not yet available to her.

Jessica met Bruce Rascher walking by and they talked a while.

She went out Downtown to Cold Issue Clothing.

She bought a new cellphone and met some interesting characters.

oh dear, the Count rudely interrupted their conversation to slap Chastity Gere who appeared to be here with 2 other of her lovers... 

The Count then launched an attack on Rodney Jung which he won.

Enough Drama for Jessica for one evening though and after a good sleep she awoke Tuesday and watched some tv to increase her fun.

She attempted to make herself breakfast but set fire to the stove.

Luckily with her cool head and a smoke alarm which alerted the rather handsome Fire Officer the fire was distinguished quickly and Jessica made a new acquaintance.

She had pizza for breakfast instead.

Jessica stopped everyone who walked by for a chat and some gossip.

Finally on Wednesday she found the Criminal career and would start as a Bagman the next day.

She spent the day meeting some of her neighbours, here Christopher Tang,

and Calista Fuchs.

Jessica left for the first shift in her new career.

Afterwards she met Connor Weir.

and Neil, who networked with Jessica a deal so she could get discounted furniture in the future.

The postie and another townie were also befriended, giving Jessica a nice total of 9 friends by the end of the day.

Late on Thursday/early Friday Jessica came home with a promotion to Bookie.

She had a second attempt at making pancakes.

They went down very well with her neighbour Nathan who walked in, grabbed a plate and took it back to his own trailer. :D

On Friday Jessica is promoted to Con Artist. She now has the weekend off work.

On Saturday as Jessica was catching up with friends the Landlord said he was throwing a gathering.

Pizza was shared by all the neighbours who came and socialised until they had to leave for their various jobs. Jessica and her Landlord don't know each other well yet but they are working on some common interests.

On Sunday Jessica invited her friend Connor Weir and his roommate Geoff Rutherford over, only Connor arrived but he and Jessica spent a few happy hours cementing their friendship.

After dark Jessica invited Count Shea over and they were soon best friends.

After finding out that Count Shea had decent mechanical skills Jessica influenced him to fix her broken pc! 

Summary-

A good week here at Jessica's, as a fortune Sim she wanted to earn money, get promotions and make friends. She didn't particularly show any interest in Romance so I had her work on skills and friends for promotions and maybe next time if she does well she can finally leave the Trailer Park.
