University, round 2

Inhabitants of this house:

Neil Henderson: Junior, Knowledge; LTW: Mad Scientist
(6 neat, 3 shy, 6 active, 4 serious, 6 nice)
Sophie Miguel: Junior, Fortune; LTW: TOC architecture
(6 neat, 5 outgoing, 8 active, 3 serious, 3 grouchy)
Malcom Foster: Freshman, Knowledge; LTW: Mad scientist
(6 neat, 3 shy, 6 active, 4 serious, 6 nice)

Ellie: Since there's nobody living in the Henderson house this round, we're heading right to uni to catch up with Neil and Sophie. Oh, looks like Malcom just arrived as well. Hello Malcom.


Sophie: Hi, looks like I'll be talking to you again, since the Neil is busy studying and Malcom is way too shy. Andway. First thing Neil did when Malcom arrived was pull me aside and tell me to be nice to the boy. Seems like he's had a rough childhood, with a vampire mother who's a bit of a slut.


I can't believe he's gay. That boy is hot stuff, I tell you! And what girl doens't like a boy who can fix things semi-dressed.


He had huge problems finding a date though, since he's too shy to actually hit on a guy, so he paid the matchmaker. We've got the money, so worth a try, right?


She set him up with this guy named Makoto. Hmm... this is a picture from after graduation, but I can't seem to find an older one. Ah well. He works at Malcom Landgrabb's club downtown, but I know he's hating it. Who wouldn't! I doubt Landgrabb pays well.


We went on a double date downtown. It was fun, but we had to be careful not to go too far. Crumplebottom was shooting daggers at us either way. I felt like a teenager again, hiding from her like that.


She eventually left though, so we got in some private time in the hottub.


And then had some burgers. Malcom and Makoto kept to themselves so they could get to know each other better, but me and Neil were happy to socialize.


*Ahem* I've always wanted to try that. I can't believe we still have that picure though. *chuckles*


Malcom and Makoto took their relationship to the next level as well.


There was generally lots of love in the air. Even the dormies were feeling it.


We introduced Malcom to a few secret society people and he got in.


We also had a bit of a scare when Malcom got hit by lightning while eating outside. The tables out there were removed after that. Now everyone eats inside, where it's safe.


Or... well... reasonably safe. You'd think after all these years she'd know how to cook!


The matchmaker left us a gift. Maybe for Malcom being such a good customer. In any case, it came in handy. I wished for money so that we could move out of the dorms.


Now we have our own little place. It's not much but we get a bit more privacy this way. Though we did apply for a greek charter as well so there's usually people over.


Neil finally popped the question! I almost thought that I was going to have to do it myself! Of course I said yes.


And Malcom jumped on the bandwaggon and proposed to Makoto. They've got a while left before he graduates and they can get married though.


Maybe I shouldn't have been so mean to the cafeteria chick. I can't believe I set our brand new stove on fire! I was totally out of it that week.


And then I found out why. I can't believe I got pregnant! It must have been that photobooth woohoo. Thank god we're close to graduation already and not living in the dorms anymore. It'll work out somehow.


Malcom even volunteered to grow some organic vegetables in the garden for the baby. He's so sweet!


So yeah, we had to speed up the wedding a bit. I can't believe the streaker barged in right as we were exchanging vows! That's totally inappropriate!


Wow, I never knew childbirth would be so painful! But finally our little boy was born. We named him Damian. He has both our skin and hair color, and his father's blue eyes.


Neil is a great daddy and helps take care of his son all the time. Even Malcom pitches in when we're at class.


Before we knew it, it was time to graduate. Rather than throw a huge party, we just sat together and had some lobster. Yummy!


Here we are, all grown up and ready to move back to Neil's old house. See you there!


Author's notes: Inteen + risky woohoo from ACR = YA pregnancies. Always a good way to make college life more exciting. Thankfully it happened relatively close to grauation. Sophie and Neil graduated with 4.0 GPA, SS, greek house, and most of the skills they'll need for their future careers.

University round 1

Ellie: Here we are at sim state university, where Neil Henderson and his girlfriend Sophie have completed their first two years at college. Let's go find them and see how it went.
Ellie: Hello Sophie how are you.


Sophie: Good thanks. Me and Neil just finished our sophmore year. Glad that exams are over, but at least they went well. We're both getting 4.0s. No surprise there for Neil. He's always been into studying. Me I just do it because I know I'll need good grades for my future career. I want to become a famous architect one day. Maybe then I can construct some more exciting houses around here. They all look kind of the same for now.

Ellie: To be expected from a small town, I suspect. But it's growing, at least. Any plans to add to that as well?

Sophie: You mean babies? Maybe some day. But first of all I'd like to concentrate on my career. And Neil has his studies. That'll keep us busy for a while.

Ellie: Alright then. So tell us how your first two years at college went.

Sophie: Well, when we got her we both moved into the same dorm. I decided to major in mathematics, and Neil in Physics.

Ellie: Wouldn't have been my first choices. But go on...

Sophie: One of the first things we did was get new outfits. The stuff we arrived in was pretty hideous. Well, one of the first things, really. Neil wanted to get his term paper out of the way right away. And in the meanwhile I got to know some of the other people in the dorm. They seem nice so far. And you can never have too many friends.


We did our coursework and went to class. The usual, you know. And then there was a lot of general study time, especially for Neil. But once in a while we did make time for a date or two. We're still going strong, even if we aren't attached at the hip like some couples. I quite like it that way.


When I wasn't studying I spent a lot of time watching sports with the guys at the dorm. I've always been a bit of a tomboy, I guess. Neil's not too into it, but I made some good friends that way.


The only really exciting thing that happened was that I got abducted. No not by aliens by the secret society people. I didn't even know they existed, so I had no idea what this guy wanted from me in the middle of the night. And getting led off in handcuffs was so embarrassing! Thank god everyone else was asleep! Of course I made sure to hook up neil with the right people so he could get in as well. He's not the most social person by nature. I think it's good for him to get away from the books from time to time though.


Everything went smoothly at the dorm and everyone seemed to get along reasonably well. Except for River and Lilly. They started off on the wrong foot I guess and never did like each other. It even came to blows on one occasion. I wasn't too impressed. Beating up girls is not a gentelman's way of handling things River!


Other than that the two years went by uneventfully. Hopefully it'll be just as smooth sailing until we graduate. We might be moving off campus though next year. It's so much more peaceful, but I'll miss my friends here.

Author's notes: These two are possibly the most boring couple ever. Both spent most of their time skilling or doing schoolwork and never rolled up a single want for each others outside their dates. At least Sophie is somewhat outgoing. They've been working on the hobby plaques too to loosen things up a bit. Neil got cooking on top of the art one he already had and Sophie's pretty close on tinkering.

Points for this round:
- 1 for 1 new Sim, Sophie Miguel
