I noticed that I messed up the synching with University Sims, most likely because I've been playing University first and the 'hoods after, which led to Johnny and Ophelia being played twice in a round and Tank only once. To make matters worse, The Sims that left University in Round 4 have already been merged into their future households, so that's even more confusing. Argh!

I'm going to skip Johnny and Ophelia this round, as well as Tank (who hasn't been double-played yet, but has been merged with Angela already who is technically a week behind, but I'll fix that by aging him up a bit.) I'm trying really hard not to let this continuity cockup ruin the hood for me. Nobody cares. Except for me. I can be strangely OCD when TS2 is involved :P

Anyways! Short update, as usual when University is involved. This time round I had 11 Sims to manage, which is just about as ridiculous as it sounds.



From top to bottom, that's Alexander Goth, Angela Pleasant, Beau Broke, Buck Grunt, Dirk Dreamer, Dustin Broke, Jill Smith, Lilith Pleasant, Lucy Burb, Orion Curious and Ripp Grunt. Can you say lamest grouppic ever? :P




Ahhh, University. A milestone in life, a fresh start, a chance to leave the ridiculous haircut of your youth behind and even become someone completely different, if you want.



The entrance/exit point of the dorms gets clogged up frequently by Sims coming back from class/finals. They stand around on the sidewalk with nothing much to do, which is a dangerous thing for Sims. So far everyone's been incredibly well-behaved, aside from the occasional fight between the Pleasant sisters. But with the help fo ACR, Jill Smith is about to throw a stick into the chickencoop.



Buck is NOT impressed. Jill and Buck had actual negative chemistry though, and I'm a benevolent Sim god who wants everyone to be paired off with their best possible match...
Cheer up Bucky, you'll find someone else that fits you better :(



Jill's become a bit of a wild child in College. You shouldn't mock others like that, Jill, I've seen you dance.



Beau Broke transitioned into this outfit, and I didn't have the heart to change it :P



I was tired of Dirk Dreamer running after everything that moves, preferably the people he absolutely didn't stand a chance with. To give him something to distract him, I let him ring the gypsy matchmaker for a date.
He could do far worse than Marylena Hamilton. She looks really cute with a makeover. And hey, even their outfits match!



Beau had a go with the matchmaking as well, but his match wasn't quite that succesful. Damn you gypsy! I paid good simoleons for that!



More romancing...



That's Meadow Thayer being hit on by Alex Goth. All the 'hoods teens went to college and were turned into dormies, including the mailboy and various other NPC's.



Buck's not as lucky in the lists of love :( He's got great chemistry with Lucy Burb, but ACR made her have her first kiss with Alexander Goth when they moved in, and she's very faithful.



Oh well, distractions enough to occupy yourself with at College, and Lucy's bound to find Alex flirting with Meadow sooner or later. And Buck will be there to console her. He can bide his time.



The household has chucked out a bunch of couches and things from the upstairs common room to make place for some instruments. They've got a drumkit as well, but it's just outside the picture. Spontaneous jam sessions all round, usually with Ripp Grunt on lead guitar and his buddy Dustin on the bass. 



Lilith and Ripp being cute :)



Buck's long-term planning has paid off, and Lucy has finally fallen into his arms. Even though I really would've liked to see Jill and Buck work, I quite like this pairing.



The Pleasant sisters making war, not love. Despite all my efforts, I don't think these two are ever going to be able to get along. Whenever I leave them alone, their relationship carefully built up, they start slapping and shoving eachother again :(



Payback time! That's Orion Curious throwing a drink in the Cow Mascot's face. He'd been bullying poor Beau incessantly.

Beau: "My hero!" *Swoon*

You'll have to get yourself someone else to swoon over Beau, Orion's interested in the ladies.



Buck: "I'll tell you, my life has changed since I started dating Lucy. She's my little ray of sunshine."
Alexander: "Lucy who?"

Yeah, you sure got over her pretty quick, Alex -_-



Time for the Seniors to graduate :) Angela and Lilith Pleasant, Ripp Grunt, Dustin Broke, Darren Dreamer and Jill Smith will be moving back to the main 'hood now, diploma in hand.



Quick peek at Lilith's adult makeover, because I love the way she turned out ^^

That's it for now folks :) Till next time!
