Week 5 - Round 10 - University - Year 2
This will probably be the last update to Knowlton for a few weeks. I'm flying out to visit my mother in British Columbia in two weeks (lots of prep and packing to do), and while I am bringing my portable hard drive along (the one will all my sims stuff) I don't think either of their computers can handle the households of Knowlton. I'm not completely abandoning my readers however. I'm starting another blog that will be following the adventures of Logan Knight as he attempts the dreaded Apocalypse Challenge. I figure one house with only a few sims and no plants should be much easier on their computers even if it is perpetually winter. The first episode should be up in a few days. It'll take longer than the others because I'm doing a College Prelude. Happy Simming!
Welcome Back to Sim State University. What I'll be doing this round is switching back and forth between Whispering Winds and 3 Pecan Drive, where Piper Rainseeker has taken up residence through out the chapter, usually around the end of each semester of the year.
Last year Loretta managed to hit the 30 Best Friends mark, and Lauren earned her Gold Gardening badge. Oh, and there were a couple of toga parties.
Once again I've forced the girls to get their nasty term papers out of the way right away.
Term papers written it's time for the girls to get back to their routines. Loretta's got to keep up with her friendships....
Lauren has Piper on the phone getting to know her....
and Cora is making the ugliest face of greed I've ever seen as she harvests her precious crop.
Lauren still needs one last logic point for eventual career in Politics. It would be absolutely hilarious in the extremely frustrating fashion if the first abduction in Knowlton was a woman.
It's Cora's turn to get to know Piper now. It's all so much easier when you can control the relationship from both ends!
Loretta and Lauren spend so much time on the phone that now and then they pause for a coffee break so that the warm brew can sooth their sore throats.
Way to go Lauren! You now have the skills required to become Mayor of Knowlton.
I almost forgot to get a picture of the eggplant harvest, how silly of me. The girls are being generous and are planning on stocking the eggplants in the juicer for the next Knowledge sim to arrive at University who will appreciate the special abilities of the eggplant far more than any of these girls will.
Ah college life, where homework is a constant need.
Wow! You maxed out Body! I'd be impressed with myself too!
The amount of noise these girls make when they all call their friends at the same time is scary.
Once again it's time for the girls to write their term papers, but this time all the hard work has the added benefits of autumn!I think it's time to go check on Piper, so just close your eyes and relax while I whisk you over to 3 Pecan Drive. It looks like Piper has arrived and had her 18th Birthday and Makeover!

Piper's place is a wee bit baren. I've added a few things for her, but she just doesn't have enough cash on hand to do much.
The first thing Piper decides to do is to test out her new stove by having her first meal as a young adult.
Then of course she glued herself to the phone, lol.
Well he certainly thinks she's hot. Apparently it's mutual because she has two lightning bolts for him. Honestly I only had her greet him on the off chance that she'd like him since he has red hair. Plus, I kinda figured that with that jacket chances are high that he is a Popularity sim. We've got to check his face though, he's the second walk-by, the first was rejected for having baboon lips.
Hmm, not bad he and Piper should either balance each other out or produce some really ugly kids.
Hah hah! I should have made Piper wear the cheerleader uniform. I still may.
After her first class in Biology, Piper decides to call the girls of Whispering Winds and see if she can join the greek house. Of course they say yes!
"Oh Man! Don't do that! The chicken dance is soo over!"
"Oh Wow! It's like a secret club and all!"
It's too late to call people now, so I guess she might as well paint.
The very next day Piper finishes off all of the things that young Popularity sims want to do when they go to college. She's already joined the SS, she's joined a Greek House, and now, finally, she's reached Big Sim on Campus!
Wearing that excuse for pajamas outside might make you a little more popular on campus than you want, you know.
Now that Piper's starting her second term of her Freshman year, she's moved in with the girls of Whispering Winds. Welcome Piper!
The first thing Piper did was makeover her new bedroom. Rowan had left it in earth tones, and that was just too serious for a girl like Piper.
The second thing she did was get to work on her term paper.
With all of her school work out of the way it's time for Piper to spend some time in the garden. She composted, and Lauren planted some things for her because I am heartily sick of tomatoes. Then Piper watered.
Of course, when she earned her bronze badge she was half buried under a tree making a good shot impossible.
I hope Jason likes strong women, because Piper is one fit chick!
Even Loretta is spending some time skill building.
She even found time to help Piper earn her last Body point.
She took off to visit campus before Piper finished maxing, but Piper managed to pull it off on her own!
Believe it or not this is actually the first day of summer. I've rearranged the weather of Sim State Uni to maximize the benefits for my sims. It's now fall, summer, fall, summer. Oh yeah, Piper earned her Silver badge btw.
Cora, Loretta, and Lauren all have their final final exams later today, so I've decided to just let them slack off a bit and spend some time fishing. Every now and then they run inside for a cup of coco and a potty break.
The biggest news this year is probably that Lauren finally made it to 30 Best Friends. I'm getting really sick of this want.That night was graduation night....
First Loretta
Then Cora
Then LaurenThe girls were all very generous and left their date gifts / campus visit junk for other members of the house who aren't moving back in with their parents.

Ohh, the photo slides are very cool!! You're really getting creative with those collages.
You're trying the Apocalypse challenge, too? I've started it with my boyfriend... we are passing back and forth. He is on Gen 3 now. Blogging it via blogger. It is a lot of fun but very, very hard to keep all rules straight, especially since we are playing with Season rules, too. I will be sure to check yours out!
