The Tudor Legacy 1.5: UNIVERSITY!!
previous updates (1.0) (1.1) (1.2) (1.3) (1.4)
FINALLY we made it to University. This is only 1/2 of university; I'm sure I won't play the whole thing.
So I am deathly bored of playing children. I think I'll just age them up to teens after a day or two from now on. So Shout (the first whoops baby, who was a child) and Antigone and Polyneices (the twins, who were toddlers) got aged up all the way to teens (which made them grow up badly, for some reason) and went to meet up with their elder brother and sisters at Académie Le Tour. I moved them into the Boggs Hall Dorms. The elder Simlings had been there for a couple days, but those pictures disappeared mysteriously into the depths of my hard drive. Good times, good times!
Without further ado... the Tudor children, all growed up!
After close scrutiny of baby pictures, I concluded that the girl twins are actually blondes.
Echo
Echo looks just like his father. He is generally out of the running for heir, but I keep him around out of fairness.
Sapphire
Sapphire is a sweetheart and is totally one of my favorites. For such a nice Sim, she has an appropriate amount of meanness to make her still fun to play. I'm not a fan of the big lips, though.
Ruby
God bless Ruby and her ten neat points. She makes an awful Romance Sim - she should really be Knowledge. She's a good kid, like Echo. She gets a ponytail to show off her gorgeous cheekbones.
Shout
Shout is a shy little momma's boy. He misses Christine and Taylor a lot and constantly fears getting in a fight with one of his sisters.
Antigone
Antigone has a STRANGE facial structure. As evidenced here:
Despite that, after resorting to The Hair Mesh That Everyone Must Use, she actually looks ADORABLE. She's a lot of fun to play. For me, it's basically a tie between her and Sapphire for heir.
Polyneices
Polyneices is deathly boring. When left to his own devices, he will retire to the upstairs rec room and sit on the couch and stare into space. He doesn't autonomously do anything interesting and doesn't want anything interesting.
He is actually a blonde, but I kept confusing him and Shout, so he got brown hair so I can tell their little avatars apart.
So we move in, and the first thing Antigone does is head for the smut.
Antigone: What?! OMG, this sounds like so much fun!
Her straight-edge sister disapproves.
Ruby: He can put it where? That does NOT sound fun.
Oh, don't be such a prude.
Ruby: Prude? I remind you, none of us have gotten our first kiss yet!
Good point. I guess I should get on that. Let's make that the goal of this update, then, shall we?
Antigone: OMG really? XD XD
OMG TOO MANY TOO MANY
Antigone's a bit of a blonde. Oh, cutie!
Hey Polyneices. Whacha doing?
Polyneices: Sitting.
In the upstairs rec room, when everybody else is downstairs, without the TV on?
Polyneices: Yup.
Ooookay then.
Ruby the Romance Sim desperately needs some lovin'!
Uh-oh, it's a kilt.
Eek. No, honey, I can do better for a first kiss for you!
OMG, two of you now??
Before I learned to lock their doors, they all had stalkers too. This was especially creepy. How can you even be doing all that writing while you're staring at Shout?! Also, he is apparently Maxis' interpretation of an Indian guy. UM.... he has red hair y'all...
Antigone was the first to lose it.
Yeah, tell me about it, girlie: college is NOT FUN!
Polyneices gets two stalkers. If only he was this popular while he's awake!
Stupid fucking Dormies. Why are you all up at 5am? And where could you possibly be going?!?
Polyneices actually looks cute from this angle. I tend to think he looks like a meathead usually.
10 neat points. *huggles*
More Romance Sim fail. [and/or Maxis fail.] Oh, Ruby.
Well... if the regular version isn't working... let's give it a shot, shall we?
She got a professor, and then immediately had to go to class.
Prof: *hands on hips* Well, are you going to go on this date with me, or go to class?
She stayed. They didn't hit it off.
I was feeling really sorry for Shout and his homesickness for Mommy and Daddy, so I decided he needed a squeeze of his own. I've never tried these glasses before!
Wait, WHAT?! I feel cheated! Damn. I see why no one uses them.
So we take a different approach.
Aww yeah honey, you got it.
Go get 'em, tiger!
Shy flirt <3
She has a glitch where she farts not-Best-Friends all the time - but trust me, it goes REALLY WELL.
And LOL at the other professor. Perhaps I need to generate more Dormies?
And then this popped up. Damn, Echo, good job!
He rolled a want to be a Physics major, so that's what he got. Look how fucking good he is!
Back to Shout's date...
She moves fast!
Is it... could it be???...
Nope, just photos!
Like I said, all the Tudors are stunningly self-sufficient to the point of being boring. Autonomously, Sapphire woke up, took a shower, and went to the kitchen to feed herself. Amazing!
Back to Shout's win. And yeah, there's that bitch's name.
She likes it!
Shout: <3
Prof Marsha: *glitch*
The date ended, and he got a kiss!!! I was so stunned I didn't even get a picture of it!
He would be the first, but Sapphire actually got hers first in the photos I lost ;)
What?! No, no fires!! Get back there, Ruby! For shame!
Oh thank God, I - hello, what's this???
!!!!!
Sapphire wanted a sports party, so the Tudors take the time to show me their alcoholic tendencies.
She invites over her main squeeze she got her first kiss from...
Is it... is it?....
Oh yes, it is!! WTG Sapphire!
Isn't he ADORABLE??? Also, showing off my new default eyes. Although he seems to be failing at blinking right now.
NEXT UPDATE (which will be coming this week): With the hell of BoolPop, Ruby succeeds at Romance Simming, and plays for the other team. Polyneices is boring.
HELP ME PICK AN HEIR, I CAN'T DECIDE GAH!
