University F2

Earlier this round at Sim State there were many hobby plaques earned and all the kids got inducted into the secret society. Wesley and Jeannie and Brittany and William graduated and headed back to Silvervale. Addison and Stella decided to stay in the greek house a bit longer to welcome Addie's niece, Janet to college. Lets see how Janet and Ricky make out in the first half of their college careers.

Before heading back to Silvervale, Addison decided it would only be right to propose to his girlfriend, Stella

After Janet was moved in, Addie and Stella were ready to head back to Silvervale

Janet paid a visit to the dorms to pledge Ricky into the Annya Var House

Janet and Ricky settled into the Greek House by playing some poker

Sofia even stopped by to help Janet get settled in. She was amazed at how much the Greek House had grown since she and Guy founded it so many years back

The next day after class the couple declared their majors

Ricky chose a drama major

And Janet chose a physics major

With his desire to become a Hall of Fame athlete, Ricky needed to work on his body skill... he figured it would also make him more attractive to the lovely ladies on campus. He hit the exercise room hard most of his first semester

Since Ricky spent so much time in the exercise room, Janet had to fix things around the Greek House

Despite their skilling and chores, the couple still had time for many many dates throughout their first half of college

With their newly found freedom, you can guess where most of their dates ended up...

After one of their many Dream Dates, Janet got a big surprise. She called Sofia to get advice, hopefully her parents wouldn't be disappointed with her... and hopefully they wouldn't kill Ricky!

Janet: "Hi, Mom... I have some news...

... I'm pregnant"

For a few seconds all Janet could hear on the other end of the line was silence... then suddenly she heard the muffled yell of Sofia

Sofia: "Guy! Get down here... we're going to be grandparents!"

Surprisingly, Janet's very family oriented parents were overjoyed to hear the news and they supported her any way they could even though she was several towns away at college. Janet was able to attend classes like normal and even manage to keep her grades up during her pregnancy.

Ricky wasn't so sure about what the pregnancy would mean for the couple but he pitched in any way he could. Ricky even started a garden at the Greek House so Janet could enjoy organic, homegrown vegetables during her pregnancy. He managed to earn a bronze talent badge

In the beginning of Sophomore year, Janet went into labor.

Luckily Ricky had just gotten home from class so he was there for the birth of his daughter

Janet gave birth to a healthy baby girl that heavily resembled her father in complexion

The couple named their daughter Vinaya meaning "modest" in Ricky's ancestral language

Janet wanted to make sure that they wouldn't have any more surprises for the duration of their college career so she headed over to the campus health center to pick up a prescription for the Pill

Being a father really changed Ricky's outlook on life. He no longer chased after women... after all, he didn't want his daughter to end up with a guy like him

The presence of an infant on campus changed some other Greek House regulars as well... Angel, the cow mascot didn't know what to make of the baby living there

By the end of their Sophomore year, it was time for Vinaya to transition into a toddler. Assuredly it would make things even tougher around the Greek House

Following finals, Ricky had a big decision to make...

For the sake of his daughter, he chose to give up his dreams of Romance and became more Family oriented

Scoring: 2 points (1 point for Ricky, 1 point for Vinaya)

((Well that was a new experience for me. I was really concerned about YA pregnancy and I'm still concerned that Vinaya will get stuck at the Greek House and not make it back to the neighborhood after Janet and Ricky graduate. I have the teleporter shrub on standby just in case. Vinaya is beautiful, just like her mommy except more exotic looking... and YAY for her getting the Devivio nose :) Let me just say that infants are the best cow distractors. The cow would stand in the nursery for HOURS and stare at the baby... look at the camera and do the mischevious "I'm going to prank someone" hand rubbing together animation and then just go back to staring at the baby... it was hilarity. Here are some bloopers:

Vinaya is only a toddler and already she hates the cow mascot

And here is a pic of the cow mascot sans mascot uniform. She has an interesting look to her, I might try and get her into the hood at some point

Well that wraps it up for university for Round 7. We're going to go check in on Wesley Teer and his live-in girlfriend Jeannie next and see how they are adjusting to post college life))

Eich 2 (R7)

Last round Tia Eich visited Twikki Island to see the sights and meet some more lovers. She also received a voodoo doll from the witch doctor. Tia returned from vacation with a maxed out lifetime aspiration meter and many benefits. She reached the top of the culinary career and continued with her quest of 20 simultaneous lovers. Will Tia reach her goal this week? Lets find out.

Tia purchased a small community lot in Bluewater Village and turned it into a massage parlor and spa.

Her first customer, Abhijeet Almassizadeh received a hot stone massage

And became another notch in Tia's bedpost

(Abhijeet Almassizadeh - lover #16)

Tia romanced some of her other customers

During her date with Gilbert Jacquet, the business gained it's first level

Tia also gained another lover

(Gilbert Jacquet - lover #17)

Joe Car came to the establishment and fell under Tia's spell

(Joe Carr - lover #18)

Tia and Joe had a little fun in the sauna

Unfortunately Pamela Devivio, one of Joe's past lovers was also a patron of Tia's establisment at the time

That evening a suspected reviewer came in. She had reviewed other businesses in Bluewater before

Tia wanted to make it appear that this is a legitimate establishment so she offered the reviewer a free massage

And then she socialized with her customers in the hot springs

The reviewer left without a word on the business ((guess she was just a plain 'ole customer today)) But Tia did gain another rank for her business

The next business day Tia resumed her search for lovers. She decided to use the voodoo doll gifted to her by the witch doctor in Twikki Island

It worked!

(Corbin Jakobsons - lover #19)

Malcolm: "Yes please, where can I buy some?"

Tia's next victim was Goopy Gilscarbo

Tia's date with Goopy allowed her to achieve her goal of 20 simultaneous lovers

(Goopy Gilscarbo - lover #20)

It also gained her another rank in her business

out of curiosity I checked Tia's new LTW... I was not pleased...

Out of 20 Lovers, Tia has woohooed with 14 of them... Time to get moving with 6 more... and While she's at it I decided it would be a good time to try for 30 simultaneous lovers

Before Tia left the lot she managed to earn a bronze sales badge

She was also flirting up some other customers which Benjamin Long wasn't too happy about

The weird thing is that she was at like 30-something daily relationship with him, and very low (like 1 or 2) lifetime relationship with him and didn't even have crush hearts... I guess he did. He walked by her house 4 times a day for the rest of the round stealing the newspaper and kicking the trashcan... I was like WTF dude stop being so sensative...

Despite Benjamin's unfounded accusation of cheating, Tia managed to get the business to rank 4 by the time she left to head home

The evening Tia came home a burglar came calling

Silvervale's finest showed up before the burglar could steal anything

But unfortunately the burglar won the fight and escaped... this time

After the burglar fled the premises, Abhijeet brought Tia a nice thank-you-gift for their lovely date

Tia couldn't get back to sleep after the robbery so she invited one of her customers over for some after-hours relaxation

and woohoo

(Alon Couderc - lover #21/woohoo #15)

Tia had used some of her spa earnings to buy a junker car that she can fix up. After her romp with Alon, she started working on the car until the morning

The next evening, Tia invited over another one of her customers ((this is the one she was "cheating" on Ben Long with))

(Bruce Benson - lover #22/woohoo #16)

In the morning, Tia invited over the Garden Club President, Armando Cox. She assured an easy entry into the Garden Club if she ever decided to apply for membership

(Armando Cox - lover #23/woohoo #17)

Tia decided that a career change was in order so she looked at the openings online to see if there was anything of interest to her. She chose a life of crime to match her rebellious lifestyle

Tia didn't feel like heading to her massage parlor to meet more men so she decided to try her luck with a local matchmaking service

The matchmaker hooked her up with Hunky Jason Menon. Jason was very receptive to Tia's advances

Tia: "so we're going to fall in love then we're going to woohoo... sound good?"

Jason: ::nods in agreement::

(Jason Menon - lover #24/whoohoo #18)

Tia bid Jason farewell and then headed off to her first night as a criminal. Tia came home that evening with a promotion

The cat burglar ring-leader sent one of Tia's co-workers to initiate her into their ranks ((note: this is the SECOND burglary that Tia has had this week...))

Luckily, Tia had finished her car earlier that day and had a burglar alarm installed. The alarm in the car alerted the authorities before the thief even entered her house

This time the burglar didn't get so lucky as to win the fight

Scoring: 1 point for Tia fulfilling her LTW

Household Net-Worth: 145,606

((That wraps it up for Tia this round. The business was a lot of fun, I had her there for close to a sim week working on lovers. The dream dates kept her needs full so she didn't even have to use the emergency energizer I had on the lot. I was debating going for the 30 loves LTW... Ruby makes it look so easy... so when the woohoo with 20 sims came up as her new LTW I knew I had to go with it. I seriously can't believe Tia's Luck... getting robbed twice in one week. Does anyone know if the robber gets away if that increases the chances of another robbery in the same week? Well we're back to Sim State next to check on Janet Devivio and Ricky Cormier.))
