True love at last!
Table of Contents Previously: Basilio had a very bad day. He left it all behind him by going to college.
It's frosh week at Sim State University!
Basilio earned §4,000 in scholarships.
The registrar's office was impressed with his high grades (SimCity), public speaking skills (Bain-Gordon), physical fitness and team spirit (Hogan), good work ethic (Young Entrepreneurs), and general air of wholesomeness (Kim Metro; cleaning skills).
I hadn't appreciated what an all-rounder he is. Good job, Basilio!
Time to apply that solid foundation to a course of study.
He was a hit in school productions, so Basilio decides to major in Drama.
I didn't take a lot of photos of college life. My main priority was finding a legacy spouse.
And here she is! :)
Basilio met
Jasmyn Wade on his first day. They share two bolts of chemistry, and she is the only girl on the *whole campus* who is interested in him.
Their couple name is Baz-n-Jaz.
The first time they flirt, they both get crushes. Then Jasmyn flirts with him autonomously!
Like Clay before her, Jasmyn isn't leaving their relationship to chance. :)
First kiss! At last!
I move them into student housing.
Working on a term paper.
Struggling with an assignment.
Then, out of the blue, Basilio wants to propose!
The moment is full of romance.
Time to meet the parents.
Now, who's Alma waving at so energetically?

Oh, at Clay!
I haven't seen this couple interaction before.

Clay walks over and hugs her. <3
Baz gets in on this family love-up by tickling his dad autonomously.
Alma and Clay visit campus to meet Jasmyn, but they're only interested in each other.
Also, I can't find the 'Introduce to' option in Basilio's menu. I like to use it.
Jasmyn loses patience with all of us and does the honours, herself.
She bonds with her Knowledge in-laws over chess.
This makes me proud!
Basilio is a Popularity Sim. I really wanted him to make twelve friends and become a Big Sim on Campus.
One of those friends is Kacper Kratz. He's really nice, and I hope that he joins the legacy.
This is a typical visit with him:
Kacper comes over to hang out. He watches a movie while Basilio makes chili for lunch. They sit down to eat when Jasmyn returns from class.
It's so cozy and realistic. :)

Then this guy shows up, again, and the moment is over.
Lol, Jasmyn gets Kacper to write her term paper. He's too good-natured.
Kacper leaves as soon as he finishes. Looks like he does have limits, after all.
Speaking of limits, look who's crossing a few.
Russ Bear is back for a Corona re-match.
Crackerjack security on campus.
What do you do, when you get caught sneaking into somebody's home?
You sneak out, again.
Too slow! Officer Centowski blocks his escape route.
Oh, no! This narrow porch! It's been a pain in the neck ever since they moved in.
'Another tight corner!' Russ complains. 'How can I put up a decent fight in this space?'
'It's always about you, isn't it?' Centowski retorts. 'Your problems, your needs, your underprivileged childhood. What about me?'
'I can't work under these conditions!' he declares.
Well, do the best you can.
Meanwhile: 'Honey? Do you hear something?'
Jasmyn rushes downstairs. She adds her complaints to theirs.
'I mean, really!' she protests. 'The whole lot to fight on, and they pick these two tiles. I can't see a thing!'
She's forced to watch through the window.
Suddenly, Jasmyn's eyes meet those of a hardened criminal. She doesn't flinch.
In fact, she picks up her palette and resumes painting calmly.
Nerves of steel!
I think we have a winner!
Get used to life behind bars, Russ.
Oh, no. Are we back to square one? Literally?
Is there enough space to do the arrest animation?
Phew!
'You're such a wimp, complaining about the porch being too small,' Centowski crows. 'Why, I could whup you on *one* tile, if I had to!'
The reward fills Jasmyn's want to earn money and puts her in platinum mood!
She's still not happy about the burglary, though.
'Aren't you supposed to *prevent* crime?' she says testily.
Don't judge Jasmyn's reaction too harshly.
Once the cruiser pulls away, my tough little Sim sinks onto the sofa and breaks down.
And what about Basilio? Where was he, while this was going on?
Lol, he slept through the whole thing.
Coming up: Basilio's college days end with a bang and a whimper
