The Sim we are mainly going to follow through her Freshman Year now is Marla Biggs, the young woman with the glasses. With her at the dorm are several other playable students. You will all know them from your own games, and of course you shall meet them properly in due time. Maxis says about Marla that she "may have some big glasses, but they're a reflection of her big heart. She is searching for her identity in a new place." Her aspiration is Knowledge, and she wants to become a Game Designer. Her Maxis-chosen Major is Biology.
The dorm is large and has everything students may need. Clockwise from the lower left corner, on the ground floor we find a common room with settees, a TV, two pinball machines, an easel and a microwave. In the top right corner are two toilets. Moving further on, still clockwise, we find a common study room with bookshelves, table, chairs, more settees and an (empty) aquarium. Next are a room with four desks and three computers, and last but not least, the cafeteria.
Marla spots Carl Cho, and she and Chaz play kicky bag with the student who may well become a fellow resident at their dorm. Speaking of Chaz - I discover that he has a crush on Ellen Frost. She seems to be unaware, and I am not going to force anything. After everyone has been to class and returned, I send the group back to their dorm.
Only a few hours later, they head off for their final exam. This time, everyone achieves an A+ and a spot on the Dean's List - well done, all of you! Also, everyone notices how smelly Tom is - some Sims take better care of their personal hygiene than others...
When we next visit here, these students will be Sophomores. The household now has 18,025 Simoleons; I have not yet done anything with the money, as I was too busy playing and did not want to take time out of that to choose better beds or build a comfortable bathroom.
The dorms are always under dressed or a silly layout
ReplyDeleteI've never been to uni myself, but I guess a real life dorm is not exactly a luxury hotel, either :-D
DeleteI don't think I've ever played that Dorm but it looks like a nice one. Plenty of room :)
ReplyDeleteMarla is off to a great start in her college life. It's nice to sit back and watch the 'unplayables' sometimes too. :)
Yes - and when other playables (that I am currently not playing) appear on community lots, sometimes when I next play them I find a surprise - they have bought something, adopted a pet or made friends with a formerly unknown Sim.
DeleteSchade das es kein gefällt mir Button gibt denn gelegentlich bin ich schreib faul 😁 aber dennoch hat mir diese Studienjahr gut gefallen. Ich habe schon ewig nicht mehr auf dem college gespielt und auf dieser hab ich noch gar nicht gespielt immer nur die städtische Uni. 😊
ReplyDeleteHallo gwen75, freut mich, dass Marlas erstes Jahr am College Dir gefallen hat. Ich habe nicht immer Lust aufs College-Spielen, aber meine Art zu spielen - also in alphabetischer Reihenfolge der Nachnamen - "zwingt" mich zur Abwechslung, und das macht insgesamt mehr Spaß, als wenn ich immer nur meine "Lieblinge" spielen würde ;-) Manchmal wird's dann ein bisschen viel, wenn einige Studenten-Haushalte aufeinander folgen; dann freue ich mich wieder richtig auf eine Familie oder einen Single-Haushalt, und umgekehrt.
DeleteMeinte den gefällt mir Button. Mein handy tippt mal wieder falsch 🤭
ReplyDeleteIch hab' manchmal Wurstfinger :-D
DeleteAm Handy tippe ich sowieso nicht gerne mehr als ein paar Wörter; für "richtiges" Schreiben ist mir eine normale Tastatur immer noch am liebsten.
