I had planned on heading to university after playing the Ramaswami family but I forgot. So, I headed there after the Goth family. This time we are playing La Fiesta Tech. The seasons in this neighborhood is set at summer-fall-summer-spring. The neighborhood has two greek houses; one sorority and one fraternity. I only wanted one to play. After checking out the houses, the decision was made to play the fraternity. I had to do a little work on the house to make it more playable. I had thought I'd taken pictures but apparently not. So a quick rundown of the changes: a co-ed bathroom upstairs, took out the bathroom downstairs, added a back door to keep everyone from walking around the house constantly, made four bedrooms upstairs, moved a few walls upstairs to prevent route failure.
I took a different route when playing this house. I made sure the student had all skills needed for the semester. I then let them do their own thing. I tried to fulfill wants for whoever had the worse aspiration. Mainly I played on high speed. The grades came out a lot more realistic than they usually do. This is officially the LAST college lot that will be played with ACR on. I am NOT dealing with this again. You'll see why later.
So...our students were:
 |
| Guy Wrightley - Popularity - Hall of Famer - Arts & Crafts |
 |
| Mickey Dosser - Romance - 20 loves - Nature |
 |
| Matthew Hart - Family - Captain Hero - Fitness |
 |
| Sarah Love - Family - 6 grandkids - Tinkering |
 |
| Monica Bratford - Knowledge - Criminal Mastermind - Sports |
 |
| Jessie Pilferson - Romance - Rock God - Fitness |
 |
| DJ Verse - Popularity - Media Magnet - Arts & Crafts |
 |
| Zoe Zimmerman - Popularity - The Law - Tinkering |
 |
| Jasmine Rai (Placeholder) |
A summary of events:
This was a very frustrating round of play. In other notes, all students became big men/women on campus. No one joined the secret society. Guy earned a gold flower making badge. Monica earned a silver robotics badge. Both were done towards graduation when I was very fed up with them all.
Due to my level of frustration upon graduation, all students were dumped into Belladonna Cove. Each girl in a different apartment. Each guy in a different house. No rhyme or reason. I may move them next round. I should be calmed down by then.
Good for u on removing college ACR ;) and can u please leave a review here - http://daysinveronaville.blogspot.com/2015/05/sweltering-in-december.html ? :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, all those love triangles and quadrangles! But I like it that you left the Sims do their own thing once they had the required skills to progress. I do the same when I play a uni household.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how your newly graduated Sims will do in the main neighbourhood.
i see lots of kicked over bins i see in your neighbourhood when you decide to play. ACR can be a lot of fun but not always.
ReplyDeleteI've never played with ACR- it's a Romance mod yes? Looks like a barrel of fun for the Sims though. ;D
ReplyDeleteOne question, how do you turn off the ACR for college lots?
