Week 2 - Round 4 - Sim State Uni - Whispering Winds

A word of warning to the faint of heart, this is Uni, therefore very, very, very long. I've actually decided to give us all a break and instead of Uni being inserted once or twice in the rotation, which is the normal method, I'll be playing 1 yr Uni, 1 house, 1 yr Uni. This works fine for now as I only have 4 houses and they'll still return within the allowed amount of time. Once I'm up to 8 houses I'll be able to get away with a semester at a time. I'm sorry, but I almost fell asleep during this. I hope everyone approves of the new layout changes (again), I'm still finding all kinds of hidden stuff out there about how to accomplish the look I want on this new Blogger thing. Happy Simming : )

UGLY!!! Must be an SS member. Quick, add her to your contact list so I don't have to scroll through the campus directory looking for ugly sims. The only non-ugly sims in the SS tend to be romance, although I've met a couple who were family.

Aremis doesn't have his first class till 5pm, so he's getting to work on his Term Paper, looks like he's finding it pretty easy going. Bet you're glad I made you study now, aren't you Aremis? "Shhh, I'm being brilliant."

Fine, I'll just introduce everyone to the dormies.

"EWWWWWW". Aremis isn't quite as picky and thinks she's pretty, but their chemistry ends up neutral.

Samantha had class very first thing but we're experiencing a glitch. She has all the skills required for the term and yet her bar won't open up to the full length. I tried having her change majors which didn't work, so I put her back in Drama, then I had her try earning another skill point to refresh the meter, and that didn't work. Even cheats aren't fixing her bar. If she doesn't pass her final exam with flying colors I'm going to have to quit without saving and go haunt the message boards until I find a fix. I've also noticed that my professors seem to fall in love with my students without any romantic interactions. Hurry up Pets patch!

Not even a day has passed and they've got the whole place groovin'. Told ya so!

"You want me to be friends with her?" Yes, I do. She's pretty, and in every college town I've ever played she's been in the SS, same goes for Blair Lind, although last time his name was James something and hers was Erin Anderson. Besides she can always marry one of your kids if you don't want her for yourself.

Now sit there and play nice, I'll be back in a few hours to check on you.

Werewolf on Campus!!! Yay! Now the party can really get started. EA/Maxis really should have included 'Clap for the Wolfman' with this pack. Yeah, I could do it myself, but I'm too lazy. It'd be nice if we could create entirely new radio channels instead of sticking our stuff in the premade channels.

"This thing is hard as a rock!" Well, make friends with some SS members so we can steal their artwork to start your Greek house. Love the jammies btw.

Nice choice Sam. Hoping some of the girls will start a pillow fight are we?

If this wasn't the sims I'd swear she has a crush on him. Look at the dreamy look on her face.

Daniel Chen, guaranteed to be a SS member because he's so damn ugly.

Demi?! What are you doing here? She's only made friends with Blair and Yvette and a couple of college kids lined up for future offspring. Nobody ugly or scary. And no blonde romance bombshells either. Well, I wonder which one of her new friends is not ugly AND a SS member.

"I'm makin' a list, checkin' it twice....lalala" Vyn Carlson (blonde bombshell most likely romance), the two fuglies, Melanie Gothier & Daniel Chen, Blair and Yvette (like I said), Vasyl Graham, Kerie Copur, and I see our culprit, Daisy Garth. I had no idea she was a SS member. Too pretty and doesn't strike me as a romance sim. I wonder where Viking Hat guy is though. Usually there's one. Oh well, time to steal some stuff from the SS and then back to create our greek house! As far as I know there's no rule against it, lol!

And now we return after giving my computer a rest from the awful drag to it's resources that is dorm life.

The next morning, Samantha told Aremis to pack his bags and get ready to follow her. Puzzled, but knowing Sam would never do anything to hurt him he did. They grabbed a quick taxi ride across campus and pulled up in front of a beautiful mansion (I downloaded it).
"Wow! What an amazing place, who's is it?" he asked.
"Ours now," she said "I bought it this morning with our joint dorm money.
"But we didn't have enough for this."
"Yeah, well, let's just say that some friends 'donated' to the cause"
"Who?"
"You'll find out soon enough," she said with a secretive smile.

Cadence was Samantha's highschool sweetheart. I just hope her heart won't be broken when she finds out she won't be marrying Samantha.
Incidentally the move here fixed whatever the glitch was with Sam's school meter, so now she has plenty of time to talk-up the bride I've chosen for her. She and Cadence are only friends now, but Cadence has a fear of Sam rejecting her for engagement, so I hope it won't be an issue. Sam and Aremis spin up wants constantly for all their friends to join them in college, so I've decided they're allowed one sim per Year. Next year will be Aremis' turn unless Sam needs the boost more.

Aremis and Cadence seem quite please with some of the redecorating I put in place after they moved in to make it more Greek House like!

Hah! I first Greek letter!

Aremis has discovered the secret room with all the career reward objects we swiped for the Greek House. Who knows, one day we may even return some of this, lol.

I love Fortune and Knowledge sims, they actually want to write their term papers!

Awg! Streaker alert! Bet your sorry now that I moved you to college.

Um, Phoenix, her face is a bit higher up. And yes, they're real pixels.

Well, Sam and Aremis are onto their second semester and I decided to replace the pool table with a hottub. For all that it was a huge room they complained about the walls, and this is one more place they can woohoo without falling asleep after when I decide to start letting them have dates.

Amazing, Cadence has been here less time than Aremis but she joins the secrety society before he does. Man I wish I'd remembered to install the no abductions hack.

One good thing about the abduction, this is one of the few items I left at the SS headquarters. Cadence seems to really like it.

Just a typical day in the life of a Uni student, term papers, pizza, a broken microwave, and that one person who actually cooks for themselves.

Our very first toga party which also happens to be Aremis' first date with Tina. Hope everything works out well, they're not quite best friends yet, although at least I'll be guaranteed red-headed children! This town has a lot of red-heads (appearance was randomized too, it just happened) and it would be a shame for all that red hair to disappear in one generation. Bobby's decided since nobody's paying attention to him he'll go swimming, afterall, I haven't given the Rainseekers a pool yet. Billy sits all alone on one of the few crappy pieces of furniture left eating chips. At least the crumbs will get in the torn up cushions. What a considerate child. Samantha gets to know the OTHER red-headed Popularity sim. You'd figure these two would have met by now, but apparently not. They were friends by the end of the party. Aremis had a DD with Tina and even found time to spend with his younger uncles. Aw, cute! Gotta maintain those family relations afterall. Yay! Aremis has successfully thrown the first roof raising party! Poor Cadence missed the whole party, first she had a final exam, and then she wandered off to visit campus, and then she had a class, and then, hah just kidding, that's all.(These were originally intended as individual shots until I noticed that I'd taken 49 pictures for this blog, hence, some compiling)

Love is in the air at the university, it seems that everyone is pairing off. I could curse Sam though, right in the middle of her date with Jasmine she rolls up the want to fall in love with Cadence. Funny thing is, Jasmine is a Fortune sim too! I went from having none, to at least two.

For every man who is or ever was a teenage boy dreaming about college co-eds! Two hot college chicks making out!

Ok, there's another hack I have to go find. The one that tells them that pizza belongs on the counter, not whatever end table/coffee table is closest.

Don't worry Aremis, this is a good thing. Well, really for you it doesn't matter, but it gives me points so away you go. Hopefully by the time the next gen gets here I'll remember to not have them abducted.

Freshman Year finally ends. Lord college takes long. Especially with 3 sims all of whom need to build relationships. Well Aremis and Sam don't NEED to, but I'm trying to see if I can get them each 20 or 30 Best Friends (whichever it is that's the impossible want). Cadence needs to because she doesn't know anyone. That would explain why none of her friends ever called Sam when they dated back in highschool.

Week 2 - Round 4 - Rainseeker Home

Popularity central is just hopping today, come on in, sit down and chat with the toddlers, or play chess with Tom, or just hang out with Sierra and Aremis. You'll make more friends in one visit to this house than anywhere else in Knowlton!

I knew it would happen eventually, someone finally brought home hippo lips. Why couldn't it have been Serena?


Well I guess there is one good thing to say about Hippo-Lips. She helped Sierra gain body skill points faster, and yeah, Mom's back. I wonder if they kept the house cleaner if she'd show up less often?


This house is always full, they great almost anyone who walks by, we have two in the living room playing with one of the toddlers (can't remember which is which)...

One playing chess with Tom, and of course Hippo-Lips, *snicker*.

Blurried for under-age readers even if it is just a backside, but it was too funny to pass up. She got stuck in the shower because apparently Tom's blocking her way. I guess I need to rearrange the bathroom.

Meanwhile poor Aremis is studying for scholarships.

It's the weekend so Tom invites over a whole crowd of people. After all, we need to take advantage of the new invite household option.


"Stupid punching bag, why do I have to hit you when I could be inside making friends!"

Even when they're in someone else's chapter they have to steal the show!
Too cute for words!

Sierra got home and tried to help Aremis when his athletics scholarship, but he got a little too stinky.


It's kinda weird when you bathe your uncle, but hey he needed a bath.


One of the few tranquil moments in this house. It was taken at 5:12 a.m. I guess that's why they don't have a ton of guests crowding it up. I had to take a wall down because there were so many people they couldn't walk around. I think they need an extra bathroom too.


Oh No! Not Tom, I really loved him, we'll miss you Tom. At least he'd just sold a masterpiece, so he was platinum. I hadn't checked his stats yet that day though.


The twins grew up at the same time, luckily neither of them had a fear of Tom dying or a relative dying, so they grew up well.

Aremis left right after Tom's death. He also inherited money from Tom, but I've no idea how much.

Sierra took out her anger over Tom's death on the punching bag.

Billy meanwhile decided that he'd make his father proud by doing well in school. Bobby was just exhausted from the whole ordeal and went to bed.


Um, Bobby, you do realise that there are no flying elephants and that Billy's cheating, right?


Poor Sierra, Tom had died, and now she was left raising twin boys on her own with all sorts of family responsibilities and still trying to get promotions. Sometimes it just felt like too much for one sim.


The house felt awful and empty with Tom and Aremis both gone, so Sierra decided to cheer herself and the boys up by bringing home this adorable Kitten. His name is Bonkers, and he really is cute.


He was promptly installed in his luxurious pet room, which had everything a kitten could ever want right down to pet tiling, and cat wallpaper.


Sierra had also spent a large amount of money remodeling the house. She knew that one day she'd want to have parties again, and their house and been too small for that really.

Stay tuned, next time we visit Aremis and Samantha in college. Two of the worlds biggest popularity sims have been let loose at Sim State University. However will the campus cope?
