College picspam time
Now that I'm finished with the college rotation, I thought it's about time to share some college picspam. I'll try not to share too much from the main house, to keep from spoiling plottiness or anything. Let's just say that plot bunnies are running in my head and yes, they breed like mad. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but some sims have given me food for thought...
Luckily there's been stuff going on in the extended family too, and that's what the picspam will mostly be about. So, let's dive right in shall we?
Let's start from the main house, though. Since Cyrus moved into the Greek House, I've basically rebuilt the place. The family had money, so I sent some to college in the form of statues in the kids' inventories. So, may I present: The Bookacy Greek House Greek House v. 2.0!

From the outside. A garden had to wait, since Cyrus wasn't that rich after all.

The living room.

The kitchen/dining room. I always tend to combine the two.

The upstairs lounge/gameroom.

The downstairs bedroom, with Cyrus in his coffin included. There are bedrooms upstairs too:



Cyrus and Ryker lived there alone for a semester, and that was pretty calm.


Or well, calm and calm...

The rest of the crew were over most of the time, and often very many others. Though judging by the showing plumbbob, this picture is actually from when the whole crew lived in the Greek House already. But you get the idea. ;)

But when the rest of the crew moved in, things changed towards even less calm. Old friends are constantly over, and apparently having three romancers under the same roof, all with the increased number of preferred gender walkbys FT perk, does affect the visitor counts quite some.

Here are some Ryker pictures, because he's kindly placeheld for a generation, and because I like him.

I had to nudge a little bit...

... okay, I had to nudge some more...

... But eventually Ryker found that Chloe was pretty cute. (That was only after he and Cho autonomously developed a crush on each other, and I quickly friends zoned them.)

But eventually Cho was forgotten.

Playing the guitar is still fun. Carl gives a demonstration.

As is poker.

Did I mention yet that the Custer girls are a tight pack?

Now I'll go backwards in time a bit, and show a couple of things that amused me in the dorm. Apparently having to walk knee deep in snow doesn't protect one from the roaches. Charlie tried to stomp on them and that's how I found out we had roaches. I called the exterminator, but unfortunately Carl had already been traumatized. Die stupid roaches, die! You made my baby cry!

Apparently it's not impossible to get chased by bees in the middle of the winter, either.

Otherwise I think I'll leave the main house pictures for the actual updates. Let's just say that there has been dating. LOTS of dating.

Now let's move on to the Bruenig siblings and the Thayer Siblings, who are living together. Chip here apparently loves to splash in puddles. This one time he would go around from puddle to puddle, and splash until the puddles were gone.

He also seems to like Sunny Hamilton.


They're a natural three bolt couple, and have been stalkery with each other pretty much from day one. Chip's secondary is romance, partly thanks to the Cho incident in his teenage, but he hasn't really shown interest in anyone else than Sunny, despite the fact that he has lots of bolts with lots of sims, thanks to the increased attraction perk.

Chip's sister, Cissy, is still a sweetie. She put fish in the dorm fishtank on her own, and then gazed at them with her nose in the glass.

This might cause the reaction "I have to watch them closely", but actually shouldn't be a need to. Since Bailey (Cissy's father) and Bonnie (Clyde's mother) are half siblings, Clyde and Cissy are actually first cousins. Just a friendly backrub between cousins!

And well, Cissy should be pretty happy now, she's got an actual boyfriend now, Erik Swan.

The relationship first looked pretty woohoo oriented, but then they started acting stalkerish otherwise, too. Demented purple hearts for Cissy!

As for Clyde... Ahem... I'm just visiting the house, chatting with Chip's girlfriend... And I totally did not woohoo Clyde!

Umm... Yeah... Maybe I did.
But it was all him! He made a booty call, and my simself came over. I could have prevented it, but thought "who am I to say no if they want to have fun?"

You know, I've been feeling a little bit bad for Clyde lately. He's been chatting with a lot of girls, but hitting it off is an entirely different matter. Besides, if he happens to have, say, two bolts with a girl, Chip is almost sure to have three.

He's been thinking about the wrong girls entirely.

And not just thinking. I had to get involved here. Calista there had some trouble finding anyone she liked, too, but she went for Josh Ruben after a while of pondering. I still don't know what to do with Clyde. On the one hand, this stuff was not in the plans for my simself, but on the other hand, she and Clyde are pretty cute. But there's also the but that I'm not planning to make her mortal, and she would be unhappy when Clyde dies... I'm currently trying to find Clyde a proper girlfriend, we'll see how that goes.

Not to forget about Clyde's twin, Clarissa. She found someone pretty easily, unlike her brother.

And MOAR demented purple hearts!

"Oh look, Clarissa, you have a plumbbob!"
"Shut up and kiss me!"

Moving on! Bobby and Mehrissa live together with the Mendoza girls.

Barbara the romance sim didn't waste any time in finding someone she liked.

Beatrice has been having a bit of a harder time in that department.

Barbara is determined.

Very determinend.

While Beatrice prefers other kinds of activities.

Barbara doesn't mind leftovers from Beatrice either.

But she still goes for her first target, and succeeds.


Parties are cool, mmkay?

And even inviting Mom over for the party is cool. If she's not shocked about a streaker or two. And Joy is not, she's cool like that.

Bobby and Mehrissa are still sickeningly cute. I'm pretty happy I sent Mehrissa to college for Bobby. Oh, and Bobby the Fortune sim rolled the want "get engaged to Mehrissa" like the second day Mehrissa was living there. The want is currently locked.

Party woohoos are always fun, but not always without problems. Or maybe that's me putting the computer in the bedroom.

They eventually succeeded, perhaps with a little help from me, having the Mendoza girls lure the guests back downstairs.

Finally, the Custer girls live together with Carla, whose little brother Connor won't be going to college for a while, and we don't want Carla to be lonely.

Carla is my first sim ever to have actually caught fireflies, and she did it on her own. I made her set them free pretty fast, though. The thought of them dying in the jar made me sad. And as a bonus, the animation where she set them free was cute.

Carla is seeing Kevin Enriques.

And seeing him.

And seeing him.

And woohooing him for the first time, with dememnted purple hearts.

Well, she is being cheated by chess, too. But I don't think she minds, that's a way to make friends.

No, this is not the llama mascot being influenced to write a term paper.

This is Laura-Mom showing up and surfing on the web.

The oldest of the Custer girls, Corinna, has been a little bit of a troublemaker. You see, she's friends zoned with all her cousins, but that doesn't help. She's namely an outgoing family sim. So... She has been flirting with everything that moves. Like poor Bobby here. Or Chip. I had her house with Chip and Bobby for a semester while waiting for her siblings to go to college, and boy was I in trouble!

But, being a family sim, Corinna has calmed down a lot since she found an actual boyfriend. It didn't start too promisingly, buit once the original disagreements were over with, it was love.

See? Hey, where are you running?

"Corinna is back from class! I gotta interact with her, fast!"

They're muchly adored.

Yet more aww.

A small oddity happened in this house. Someone asked to bring a friend when invited over, and I said yes. Apparently the friend was this lady. Isn't she one of the carpool drivers? In any case, she couldn't be interacted with. I deleted her with move_objects on, and am now hoping this wasn't a sign of impending doom.

And here, either this is the first autonomous prank I've seen by a dormie, or I accidentally influenced him to prank instead of bathe.

I'll end this picspam with this picture. I don't even remember who these are, but this has been happening some this rotation. I personally find it a little unromantic, but well, what can you do. And I think it kind of summarizes pretty well what's been happening this rotation in Sim State!
Luckily there's been stuff going on in the extended family too, and that's what the picspam will mostly be about. So, let's dive right in shall we?
