Smallish update, because I don't get to take that many pictures while playing my Sims through college. I'm still experimenting on how to take on University in my 'hoods, both time-wise, rotation-wise and household wise. I really, really dislike playing University. I'm not entirely sure why, but there you go. So in order to cut down the time I have to spend there, I have lumped every single young adult together in one big household, and played that.
Johnny, Ophelia and Tank are starting their Junior years (I think? Third year of University, at any rate), and are joined by Angela and Lilith Pleasant, Ripp Grunt, Dustin Broke, Dirk Dreamer and Jill Smith, who are starting out as freshmen. That's 9 sims in total, which was just about as hectic as it sounds.
I'm not sure if I'll keep playing everyone together in one dorm, even if it is handy to figure out relationships for the further life of my Sims.



And those relationships DO need figuring out. Especially in the case of Ms. Angela Pleasant, here seen smooching her childhood sweetheart, Dustin.




Even though Angela and Dustin broke up when they were teens (seeing as Angela wanted to go steady with Tank Grunt), college life seems to have rekindled their flame. Dirk studies the proceedings carefully, as he has plans of his own concerning Angela.



A romantic serenade should win her over to his affections! Dustin looks on, not bothered in the slightest that his best mate is trying to chat up the girl he's in love with. I repeatedly checked whether I had jealousy off on the lotsettings for some reason, but it wasn't. Dustin and Dirk really didn't give a hoot if they were both vying for the same girl. May the best man win, and all that.



Lilith's quick to compromise her hated sister, of course.

Lilith: "Dude, your girlfriend is a total ho. She's holding it on with her ex-boyfriend, AND his stepbrother."
Tank: "Are you talking about Angela? Nonsense, she'd never do such a thing. We're in love!"
Lilith: "Sheesh, Ripp told me you were dense, but I didn't think it'd be THAT bad."



Tank: "Uhm... Schnookums, are you sure there's nothing you need to tell me?"
Angela: "Hmmm? I don't know what you're talking about, Honeybear."



Lilith spends a lot of time glued to the fishtank. There's various games, a television, a stereo and some party things in the dorm, but apparently watching a bunch of fish is much more entertaining than all that.



Johnny slightly overdid it, trying to scramble for a pass, and died after frantically painting for several hours on end. Luckily Ophelia came to the rescue, pleading for his life.



She won! Crisis averted, for now, but after that I kept a close eye on Johnny and his destructive studying methods.



Playing with the game console is a dorm-wide activity.



Angela keeps her illicit flirting with Dustin and Dirk strictly out of Tank's sight, though the reverse doesn't hold true. I think Dustin knows he doesn't really have a chance with Angela, but that doesn't mean he likes to get his face rubbed into it.

Tank just has the most bolts with Angela, so he gets the girl.



Dirk: "Yo Johnny! Check out that fiiiiiine piece of..."
Johnny: "THAT'S MY SISTER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"



*cracks knuckles* And that's how it's done, ladies and gents. Johnny's not listed, but rest assured he got the Dean's List as well. They're all a bunch of overachievers. It's quite disgusting, really.



Angela and Tank take some time out of their studies to take their relationship to the next level.



Lilith: "Ugh, what's this sticky stuff on the couch."
Tank: *smugface*
Lilith: "OH EEWWWW"



Lilith and Angela are still a-fighting and a-feuding. Lils kicks her butt every single time. It's the sole reason she'd been practising punching her dad's boxing bag when she was a teen.



Dirk Dreamer has made it his mission to heartfart over every unobtainable girl he can find.



Ophelia: "Not even in your dreams, Buster!"

Yes, that's the Majors Made Easier flag and the University Clock in the background.



The common room: where all the lamest dancing is at.



Unless Lilith and Ripp get their groove on. Ripp's got maxed out Music & Dance enthousiasm thanks to his obsession with the electrical guitar, and it seems to have rubbed off on Lilith.



Tank's absolutely, 100%, rockfast secure in his relationship with Angela. Still, he doesn't think it'd hurt to make their relationship more official. Just in case anyone gets any ideas.



Lilith and Ripp's relationship has become more stable as well, especially since Ripp changed his aspiration to Popularity. They've now got three bolts for eachother :) Ripp's LTW is still to become a Rock God.



Lils taking her revenge on Tank and Angela by baptising the other couch in the dorm. The reason I don't have many pictures of Ophelia and Johnny is because they apparently chose very demanding studies. It was hard work to keep them alive and happy, and make sure they passed their exams.



Somehow, they both managed to graduate Summa Cum Laude. Quite the achievement, seeing as they had no skills at the start of their studies. Tank Grunt also graduated, probably Summa Cum Laude as well.



Huzzah!
