The Picklesworth Legacy 6.6
And we're off for another rousing round of post-secondary FIESTAAAAAAAAAAAA Oh God, who am I kidding. I never throw my Sims college parties. Except when they're in frats. But, as I have yet to create a new one, have a picture of Andreas being the helpful gentleman he is and taking out the trash. He may not have won the heir poll, but he'll keep on sparing a smile!
These two goobers didn't win either, and are consoling themselves with downy feathers and silly-ass faces. Not that they draw faces on their asses, though that is a possibility.
Look at that smug look. You all just want to watch me fail at BFFing 20 pets, don't you? DON'T YOU!???
Bob: Man, your mom and I had some sizzling times together!
Andreas: STOP TALKING RIGHT NOW
Half the guys in the dorm this year are Catalina's past paramours. Well ain't that the awkward cherry on an embarrassing sundae?
Streaker arrived early this year. Nobody alerted this poor dormie that he would drop by! This should be a lesson to always attend orientation, kids. They will always let you know when campus nudists are afoot.
Speaking of past paramours, Charles and Claude have both had a piece of the Catalina pie and are now duking it out 20 years later. Nothing like a long-lasting feud over a woman who has cheated on them both to really rev up that adrenaline, amirite?
In lieu of all of these fisticuffs, it's time to put on some nice, soothing underwater sounds and gaze at the James in his natural habitat. SSSSSH! Don't make any sudden moves or he might skitter away.
Oh my! A man with lovely long locks and the proud, silver gaze of an eagle! In other words: NOT BLUE EYES. I think we may have found a potential mate in this John Yates.
Ivy: Hey there, handsome.
John: EEEEEW A GIIIIRL
Ivy: My, what nice hair you ha-
John: LADY PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS THREE FEET AWAY FROM MY HAIR AT ALL TIMES.
Ivy: Well, I could always put my hands in other places.
*Snorts out the cheese covered portobello mushrooms I had for dinner* Oh God, the terrible innuendo went straight up my nose!
Michael: Hey buddy! Hang loooooose! Your mom taught this to me!
I believe Nigel's face speaks for itself in this case. XD
Nigel: Dad, you've called twice today. It's really not the best time to try and bond.
Understandably, Scott has been phoning the dorm (probably during every possible break he has waiting tables) ever since he found out he has children. That being said, the dishes of Simchelles' prestigious culinary establishments won't wash themselves!
What college student does not enjoy a trip to the campus' local café? The guzzling of the dark, beany drinks is totally part of your curriculum! One of those unspoken rules, if you will.
Also, I spy another dark, silver-eyed redhead! Whose name is also John... John Rhodes, that is.
John Rhodes was more interested in ogling a lady who was just here to order a macchiato or something equally European. THIS MAN IS A KEEPER.
Ivy: Heeheehee. He's cute.
At least she's got consistent taste! I shall leave the over-protectiveness to her older brother, who is taking his job very seriously. Like a marble gargoyle, he is.
The day I see someone IRL take his (and other peoples') coffee mugs to the bathroom to clean them himself is the day I'll eat a brick. Although ewwww, washing them in the public bathroom sink seems to counteract the niceness of the gesture.
Unable to decide which of the lovely men to pursue, Ivy settles for John Yates again.
Ivy: Have I mentioned that my family is rich?
John: I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU GOD
It's going well!
Did I mention this campus café has bubble blowers on the second floor? I AM GOING FOR REALISM LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
*GASP* Andreas, you lucky dog! Ignoring the fact that this photobooth has been permanently imprinted with your mother's scent, I didn't think you'd be moving so fast!
Oh... Oh, you're just taking photos with your brother. I shall replace all of my lewd grins and wiggling eyebrows with sparkling eyes and a quivering lip!
Look who followed Ivy home! I guess the brunette girl was too enamoured by her delicious caffeine beverages to give John Rhodes the time of day. HA! She'll regret it someday. When the beans turn bitter and the coffee turns cold, SHE WILL REGRET HER DECISION.
Something tells me that Ivy has a specific type. The question now is Yates or Rhodes?
John Rhodes certainly seems more interested in Ivy. They just started doing their little jig that lets you know exactly who has lightning bolts for whom.
On the downside, he readily accept flirtations from bovine mascots. YOU KNOW UDDERS ARE NOT THE ANSWER JOHN RHODES
ACR quickly quashes that little problem by swooping in and bringing these two kids together for their first kiss. You know what, I think Ivy has chosen her future hubby without any help on my end! I should just go off and get a snack and they'll be in love before I know it.
Ivy: We should try doing that in the rain next time!
Scorned and rejected, the cow mascot takes out her frustrations on the visiting cheerleader. WHO NEEDS TV WRESTLING WHEN YOU CAN TURN YOUR LIVING ROOM INTO A COSPLAY BRAWL
Nigel: WHOOOOH! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Andreas: Why must we be subject to this violence!??
Nice points make all of the difference in a Sim's enjoyment of combat. At least, I'm assuming that's what it is.
I have a surprise for Nigel! Seeing as he's a spare and also a Family Sim, I figured I'd bring his old girlfriend Shelly to college. They have 2 bolts and I'm less stringent on having genetic variety in the cousins. So go on now, shoo! Have your longtime romance!
It's like two magnets that have been separated due to tragic circumstances, who have climbed mountains and swum across oceans to be reunited again in an aging school dormitory. *Sniff*
Nigel catches her just as she's so caught up in the whirlwind of escaping permanent puberty. I FORESEE LOVELY BLACK-HAIRED COUSINS IN THE FUTURE.
Shelly: Oh wow! A little tight around the finger, but it's nice!
This is what happens when you just use your mother's old engagement ring without taking measurements first.
So distracted was I by the first engagement of the generation that I missed Ivy popping her cherry in exactly the same place her mother did. And people say tradition is dead. HA!
I need to find the other Family Sim a spouse, but the ladies of the dorm are more inclined to nose flickings and cacklings of glee rather than nuzzles. Cover your nostrils, James! For the good of all Simkind, cover your nostrils before a ventrilofart wafts your way!
Again? I'm getting some serious déjà vu flashes from the last college spree. At least I know that Ivy isn't a romantic explorer and will travel on only one love path with John-
... That's a different John. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. WHAT. I TURN MY BACK ON YOU FOR FIVE MINUTES. Looks like he got interested in her the moment she kissed someone else. TYPICAL.
Dormie: Everyone says that photobooth has been haunted for 20 years. Screams and moans can be heard coming from inside! It recently started again!
Andreas: ORLY?
Legendary, that picture-taking machine has become. *cough cough*
Oh come ooooon. Who's got a beef against this generation? *Eyes penguin suspiciously* DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE FLIPPERS HAVE BEEN BUDDY.
James: *Sprays and mumbles* Feels just like home.
Could it be one of Catalina's cuckolded college lovers? Man, these Sims just don't know when to let grudges go! We need to call in for a group yoga session to release all that bad energy (but not tai chi. Tai chi mania is over. OVER I SAY)
Andreas: Congratulations on finding love, sis! ♥
He is totally the sweetheart of the family. :D
You know how your Sim will get a phone call from a random stranger they've never met and then they just develop a friendship via phone? Makes you wonder how they keep getting your number, but in James' case, he's been chatting with a lovely lady named Patricia. I think it's time we arranged a visage-à-visage meeting!
Patricia: Hello!
Eeeeeh, she looks so adorable!
They wasted no time in using the photobooth for its actual intended purpose. James is a man who'll take it slow, breathe it in. That song is such a terrible earworm for me.
That's... that's actually one of the most romantic Sim kisses I've ever had the good fortune to capture! Mostly because they aren't COMPLETELY OFF THE MARK OR FACE MELDING. ;_____;
Can Sims actually fall asleep on armchairs? Is this simply a college thing or can it happen anywhere? *Pokes Nigel*
Nigel: Why did you do that? :T
I DUNNO. LOLOLOLOL *Runs off*
By the way, John Rhodes loved his date with Ivy so much he has gifted this dorm with a DJ booth. You Sims and your measly bank accounts. Yet you somehow can afford gifts like these? Is there some sort of Simchelles black market I'm unaware of? I'm the Simgod, I should be omniscient about these things!
Ivy: WHO CARES IT'S PARTY TIME
Eh, I'll keep it. It's a fun not-so-little gadget and it raises creativity skill points like whoah.
DJ-ing makes Ivy want to grind some records of her own, hon hon hon. (I almost wrote Catalina instead of Ivy because that's all I think of whenever I see that photobooth shake)
And then John Yates fell in love. Sorry buddy, you're just a little side appetizer. My mind has been made up to introduce the other John formally to the family and hopefully give us NON-BLACK HAIRED BABIES.
Not that anyone gives a fig pie, but these two are still duking it out every chance they get. For once, the dormies are scrapping with each other and not with one of the legacy Sims! It's been so long since that happened. Now that I think about it, at least one person in college has had some feud with someone except for Gens. 3 and 6.
Alright, everyone else has been paired off except for Andreas, and that boy seriously needs the aspiration boost. Time to call in the cavalry!
Matchmaker: I sense... I sense... a handsome man!
And a broken elbow. GEEBUS LADY WHAT SORT OF EXERCISES DO YOU DO!??
The sky has given us a cute waiter named Ira! Boy, you don't really meet any guys with that name very often anymore.
Andreas plz
This is only the first date, take this gradually!
You know what else we haven't had in a while? Nice games of catch that don't involve any sort of disfigurement. Is this legacy taking a turn for the nice and sparkly?
Ira: Gosh, that was fun! Thanks for having me drop onto the cold hard cement!
Andreas: Wait! Don't you want some coffee or something before you go?
Hehehehehe. "Coffee".
It's just date after date after date! James takes Patricia out to the Chinese restaurant on campus and they immediately fall in love via slow dancing in the sunlight. When I said James took things slow, I meant it in the Old Hollywood sense. ♥
Sadly, the food could never come to their table because they were seated somewhere where THERE WAS HOMEWORK I COULD NOT DELETE it being a community lot and all. So instead of sating their hunger, I sated both of their wants panels.
James: Patricia my dear, I have something I must ask you.
James: Will you take care of my pet velvet box for me?
Patricia: GASP
She is so excited to become part of the richest and most prestigious family in the neighbourhood. :] Not that she's a Fortune Sim, I'm just saying it's probably a big perk.
Teddy: ISN'T IT ROMANTIC? *PUNCHES THROUGH KISSING COUPLE*
This is... this is a rather extreme attempt at cockblocking. O____o
Back at the dorm, Ivy is defying my decision for her to be with John Rhodes by continuing to bump pretties with John Yates instead. I know he's a dormie here too so it's more convenient but EVERY WOOHOO YOU HAVE WITH HIM CEMENTS MY DECISION. JOHN RHODES FOR PRESIDENT GENERATION 6 SPOUSE.
Oh yes, and Ira dropped by again to let Andreas properly nibble on his chin. Seriously Sims, you must learn to master kissing at some point in your lives.
See? Nigel and Shelly have got this down.
Among other things.
James: You mean people have been using the photobooth for things other than taking photos? :O
'Fraid so, my man. Go ask your mother about it.
Anyhow, that's the end of this large Liebe Fest. The kids have just finished sophomore year, so I will probably get round to ending college next update. By which point, Ivy will have proposed to the John I choose for her.
