Founder challenge at

So, last time we sent off our three sets of twins to University. The update promptly ended, because I realized all of my townified clothes were GONE from the YA catalog. Now everything's been fixed, I've sent the family off to a new dorm I built, and it's funtimes!
YA Rebekah. Looks a lot like her grandma, Alicea, and is a knowledge sim who wants to be a Criminal Mastermind.
Her twin, Naomi. A pleasure sim who wants to be a Celebrity Chef.
Mark. He's a Family sim who wants to be Captain Hero.
Twin Bailey. Yes, he almost always looks like that. He's a Pleasure sim...who also wants to be Captain Hero. (...what?)
Clover. Fortune sim with a LTW of making 100,000 simoleans. Why, yes, that is identical to her mother's.
Finally, her twin Brent. I don't know why he's looking so emo. He's another Fortune sim with a LTW of hitting the top of the game development career. Hopefully y'all remember these dweebs now?
Though the dorm's only one floor, there's room for a couple dormies. I guess I shouldn't have been so worried about all the pale blondes my hood was producing before. It seems to be stuck in "very cheerful Asian" mode lately.
DORM TOUR. Exterior front. Decent porch. Like I said, it's only one floor.
Right in the front door. Pretty simple. Straight jaunt to the back door, and there's 8 Myne Doors. So each suite/apartment is for two students, though I suppose I could add more doors and more beds if I really wanted to. (Or if I had an odd number of kids.)
There's two types of suites: ones with double beds and ones with singles...it's really just the way the building ended up happening. Here's Rebekah walking into the suite she shares with Naomi. The four suites are color coded, too: red, yellow, green, and blue. Living area with wide, open windows and shades that go down in the evening.
Kitchenette right at the entrance. No cafeteria in this building!
LOL at the tiny hallway view. (The single bed suites have a little more hallway space.) Right hand door is the bathroom, other two are bedrooms.
Isn't their bathroom spiffy and nice?
One of the bedrooms. They both have desks, and one has a dresser/armoire.
Here's a shot of the living area of a single bed suite...essentially identical here.
The rooms are the same AREA, but they're narrower and longer, so I had to use single beds. More STUFF fits in these rooms, at least.
The back of the building looks SO nice. I want to go sit in the covered loveseat. :(
New Dormie #2. I told you we were stuck!
So, I'm an evil overlord and made them buy electronics with their scholarship money. Everyone's crowded in this room because I bought a computer. Well, maybe not everyone.
You are so hot, you should win an award!
...okay.
Aerial shot of the red suite.
Ditto, for the blue.
I know what you're thinking "You are CRAZY letting adult Delines live in a building with so many usable stoves!" However, each suite has a sprinkler right over the stove. Plus, if I'm doing the controlling, I tend to keep them to salad nowadays. :/
...so, Clover and Brent are creepily close. Yeesh.
I start trying to find potential partners for the kids, and it's already aggravating. Mark and Bailey's teen girlfriends were both brunette, and most of the rest are attracted to partners with brown or black hair. I like variety!
...this is odd. I don't recall Naomi wearing anything accessory like.
HEY. HEY YOU! YOU ARE ACCEPTABLY DIVERSE.
...he looked at me with fear, then hurried off. They were all on their way to class and couldn't stop him.
We really need to get Clover a boytoy.
This is the first time that hail a) lasted more than three seconds and b) happened when I had sims outside to "enjoy" it.
I think this picture speaks for itself.
I started getting worried--they wouldn't budge because "AH, HAIL!" so they kept getting it. Telling them to skip under the porch roof seemed to work, but of course the hail was stopping, too. Still looks great.
Mark! While I am happy that your relationship with happy clerk Suzanne is going strong especially since I sent her to Uni for you, couldn't you do that in your OWN bed? Not Naomi's?
...Mark is still confused about the ice balls that fell from the sky, I guess. And Bailey is the only one in the world who looks less stupid vegging out in front of a television.
I was worried about having so many kitchens and bathrooms and no maid, but they clean everything autonomously. Weirdos.
This is probably one of the more interesting things Bailey has done lately. Hint: you can't coast to heirdom on hotness in this family, it's a GIVEN.
I was trying out the sleepclock from MATY, but Clover went to bed too early. So she woke up at 3 in the morning and went swimming.
Hmm...chatting up a random guy on the internet? I don't know if that's a good idea.
He's just a friend. It's not like anyone could ever mean more to me than Brent, anyway.
Hoo boy.
They all woke up wanting to declare majors right away. A bit of a surprise for me. Rebekah majored in Math, Mark in History, Naomi and Bailey in Art, and Clover and Brent in Economics. Like those two could be split up.
Still, they deserve romance somehow. Brent had high chemistry with the Emo cheerleader. Hm, I can put up with annoying NPC antics for her diversity.
...so what's with the smirk, anyway, girl?
I never said he wasn't hot, I said he was too close to Clover!
They got on horribly, so I had him say goodbye to her, and...this happened. YOU CONFUSE ME
Clover and Sean are getting to know each other quickly. He's a bit pale for my tastes, but he's not dark-haired, at least!
I'd like to meet that hot girl with the strange eyes I saw in class the other day!
That can probably be arranged when you join the frat. Gotherella's got to know everyone here by now.
Oh no! I can't let the corsetted Azn girl see my secret desires!
...REBEKAH.
Well, he's not bad under the suit, but...it's the llama!
So, I was thinking you, me, and a pair of handcuffs.
...uh, I don't know that I'm into that sort of thing.
Smart girl.
Again, with the aged-up teenage girlfriends on Naomi's bed! Clover and Brent have single beds thank god, but the rest of you have your own doubles! Have a woohoo party, I don't care, just use your own room!
...I guess I'm happy you waited til you were in love, but just barely.
Found Naomi a gentleman with blonde hair, dark skin, and green eyes...and lots of chemistry.
I think your..."accessories" are hot.
...hey, I think I know what that other guy was getting at, now!
After the date, he cannonballed Mark in the pool. o.O
Hey, it's Gotherella! Yay!
Gotherella, Schmotherella! When is it going to be time for this young, attractive mailman to have a place in the legacy?
Shut up. I realized I sent them all the Uni without ever having met her, and was wondering if I should break down and summon her over here. Now I don't have to.
I think that one's actually for you. Good job, Naomi!
Hello, do I look like I want to study? This isn't fun?
You're majoring in art and have no mechanical skill. That equates to not even being able to hold a paintbrush. You can shut up and get your one mechanical point.
Congrats on making it to Uni! I couldn't stand it without you!
Me either!
...at least it's not "congrats on being so hot," I suppose.
Clover? I told you to go use the toilet!
But this girl has pigtails, facial piercings, and red lipstick just like me. This is my new best friend!
Clover chats up her new best friend, Mark schmoozes Gotherella, and our happy Asian dormies stand there, all but screaming "hey, notice us!"
I died again!
Dominick was a primper, and so are all of his children, apparently.
Now that Gotherella knows everyone, there's an invite to the frathouse for a kicky bag party.
...you know, I didn't even have this problem with Luke and Leia, and I was just asking for it, with those names!
Wow! Bailey's actually got an expression! And it's pleasant.
I bet you didn't know this, but my very first time was with your father!
...that might not be the best way to get them to join the fraternity.
Rebekah, Mark, and Naomi were the first to pledge and move into the house. Then Clover, then Bailey.
Look bro, you think you're too good to join our frat, but you're gonna hog OUR KARAOKE MACHINE?!
...it took a wee bit longer to get Brent in. I don't think he's friends with anyone but Clover. Gotherella got her relationship up to like 80/10 with him, but he still wouldn't pledge. So he didn't even start pledging til Clover asked.
Not that this was an entirely bad thing. Without her twin around, Clover was free to give her undivided attention to Sean.
How about you forget that trollop with the pigtails, and take a ride on this to streakerville?
...Clover?
*snicker*
I guess she's not threatened by people offering him rides to streakerville.
Oh, I see why. She's got a firm hold on him. Oh dear.
You know it's love when they'll tip you when you freestyle.
Look, he didn't skimp either!
So, I'd like to meet a guy who isn't into fursuits.
Furry man?
No!
This one, he has...tunic made out of all natural fibers? Possibly furry.
You suck so bad you've come around to being "good" again.
Did I mention she's a Pleasure sim and he's a Romance sim? Part of me wants to marry them just because it'd be so cruel.
Blind Date Guy follows in a long line of Alicea-lineage admirers by just wanting to be with a brunette.
They get along amazingly well (they're two-bolters) and are quickly on to juicy gossip.
You know who had a horrible birthday party?
Naomi!
...you're twins. If she had a horrible birthday party, that means so did you.
I feel bad, now that I realize this means I neglected everyone's romancing at teen stage, except for Mark and Bailey.
Uh...Naomi, why did you start a fire in your underwear?
I hear that firemen are hot!
...eh not so much in Brazen Meadows.
Man, you're right! Well, there is something about a man in uniform...
...so, like, if they taught us how to use stoves in school, then there would be a lot less housefires in Simland!
Right, all around the world, every day, there are fires that could have been prevented if only we taught how to use stoves in school.
...dumb bitch.
I don't think we're marrying a fireman into the family anytime soon.
So Clover invites Brent over, because he doesn't like anyone else and he still needs to finish pledging, and he asks to bring a friend. HE BRINGS GRANDMA.
Brent has two friends: GRANDMA and the sibling he shared the womb with!
Gotherella immediately rolled the want to become fit, which begs the question of why she was binging on pastries in the first place.
Bailey, you can't make the school cheer hot. You just can't.
Welcome to the frathouse, Brent! I don't care what Gotherella says, I like you!
Uh, Naomi? She's got a much higher relationship with him than you do!
It had to happen sometime. I'm just surprised it took the third generation of frat members to start autonomously making drinks.
Rebekah, I told you to go to bed!
I don't do everything you say, like Clover.
She doesn't listen to me, either!
Uh...who gave a drink to the cow?
Who let the cow watch their television?
Oh I get it, you're not really primping, you're keeping an eye on the cow.
...right?
AWWW. Mark and Happy Clerk Suzanne are in lurv!
And since he's a family sim, it's only fitting that this comes next.
Blond guy's name is RATNA, just like one of the current gen Laurince girl's boyfriend's, and he called Naomi up to go downtown.
It's nice to see she's a cheap date, but he wants fucking lobster and SHE'S paying.
Really, I can't believe it took that little for love, and for BOTH of you? You shame your aspirations. At least Ratna rolled a fear of getting engaged.
That's a little more like it.
...also, that waiter is very striking. Want.
I'd never been to this restaurant before. It's one of the standard downtown ones, one twenty five or something like that. It just annoys me that I have to have like a 2x2 LAKE in a lot to see any fishies.
Naomi had rolled the want to streak while on her date, but she couldn't streak downtown, so the cabbie got an eyeful as SOON as he dropped her off.
Yep, that would be my family and knowledge sims autonomously dancing. All we need now is for one of the pleasure sims to roll a want to do a term paper--oh wait, Naomi did that after streaking. ...whut.
Sean's here to leave a prezzie!
Wow...he is the perfect guy for a fortune sim.
Oh, but here's Ratna. Who'll win the prezzie contest, Clover's bf or Naomi's bf?
...this is easy. Clover's.
If you hate the cow so much, why don't you tell him to GTFO already?
Also, way to sneak, Sean!
Who's in a fight with the cow?
Alicea Deline--still kicking. Kicking ass.
Clover goes outside to check out her gift while Gotherella and Naomi decide they are now BEST FRIENDS. So why were you badmothing Gothy to your brother, huh?
I thought the positioning in the load pic was cute. Gotherella in the center, then the sets of twins pretty much arranged in birth order.
I decided on two sane updates instead of one ridiculously huge one. So we've got one more in Uni for the Delines. It may or may not have the heir moving back, we'll see what happens. So I'm probably going to decide the heir between then and now. I know Mark's got a fan club at this point, based on previous posts! And I do like his fiancee, but I'm leaning more towards one of the girls. Eh, let's pro and con everybody. (Pro: Is hot APPLIES TO EVERYONE AND IS A NON-ISSUE, btw.)
