The Fennell Legacy: 3.5 - The College Years: Junior
Note: Due to all the irritating buggyness, I took out nouniprotect before junior year in an attempt to make things less annoying in the dorm. It didn't fix anything. Except the dormies sleeping in their food, peeing everywhere and sleeping in the playable Fennell kids' beds. They don't do that anymore. Everything else - just as borky! Yay!
In our last episode: Rich continued to pine for Russet's girlfriend Opal, Leslie fell in love with Prof. Hitoshi over several more dates and Opal made out with Troy right in front of Russet, who was heartbroken and dumped her.
Joanne: "You filthy whore! This is for Russet!"
Achilles: "Give her one for me, Joanne. Closed fists this time!"
Living in a dorm full of Fennells is not easy for Opal. They are such a very close knit bunch of siblings that one of them is making her life miserable at all hours of the day.
Rich is the only one who remains immune to the Opal-hatefest. He hates to see his family ganging up on her, but what can he do? They'd probably just turn on him if he tried to intervene.
Leslie isn't much for all the fighting either. Not that she's an Opal fan, but Leslie's a lover, not a fighter!
Joanne: "I'm just getting started, you know...."
Russet: I still can't believe she cheated on me like that. I'd hit her too if I could. Sisters kinda rock....
Joanne: "There's nowhere to run. Every corner you turn in this dorm, I'll be there waiting. Count on it."
Opal: I wanna transfer to another dorm!
You can't. Besides, there are no other dorms. Deal with it.
Rich: "You look really pretty today, Opal..."
Opal: *holds head just a little higher*
Joanne dreams of her first kiss under the mistletoe. Poor darling. I still feel bad she never really got to be a teenager.
Joanne: "Don't even think about trying to kiss me, you creep!"
Troy: "Oww! There's no need to poke me. That really hurt!'
Octavius: "So do you ever actually paint anymore, Leslie? I come over all the time and I never see you painting. You are still majoring in art, right?"
Leslie: "Uh-huh. But it's more theory and history, you know...."
Joanne: *slaps Opal to the point of semi-consciousness*
Cafeteria Guy: "If you kids break anything, you're paying for it."
Rich: *wibble* I wish they'd leave Opal alone .....
Opal: "You like that? Huh?"
Joanne: "My spine! She broke my spine! Get my lawyer on the phone!"
Russet: Drama queen....
Lulu and Riley, the Fennell family dogs come to visit all the time....
Rupert: "Bro, I've been meaning to talk to you about your... pajamas... seriously, have you thought about maybe getting some less revealing ones? Everybody can see your rocket in those things...."
Rich: "Do you think Opal's noticed?"
Rupert: *rolls eyes*
Patricia has actually been finding junior year to be quite challenging....
Rich: "Opal... do my pajamas.... bother you?"
Opal: "No. Should they?"
Rich: "I don't know...."
Russet: *takes his anger out on Troy*
Rich: So does that mean she likes my pajamas or has she just not even noticed?
This picture sums up most of the semester, honestly. One of the Fennell dormies engaged in a full blown fight with either Opal or Troy. I love how Lilith is watching the fight from her stinkden cage!
Russet: *plays peek-a-boo with Lilith*
Lilith: *ignores in favor of nomming*
Russet is the only dormie who likes Lilith. The others all just wander past holding their noses, but Russet always stops by to talk to her.
Toph The Llama: "Go for the silver, Rich! Woo!"
Rich: *mutters under breath* "Idiot..."
Patricia: "What? You never smustle in your shower, I suppose?"
My shower is way too small for smustling, but even if it wasn't, I don't usually hang out in my shower for non-bathing related purposes...
Leslie: She bit me! She never did that before.... I wonder what her problem is?
Could be the nasty cage that all you neat-point-lacking Fennell kids refuse to clean. Just sayin'.
Anywhere and anywhen is the right place and time for a smustle session, in Patricia's opinion.
Cafeteria Guy seems to enjoy watching Opal win. Sometimes I think he's secretly her father.
Leslie: "Merry Christmas, Rupert! I really hope you like it."
Rupert: "Oooh, pointless potion that every sim gets in their inventory upon aging to teen. I've been wanting another one of these!"
Leslie: "I know."
Violetta: "And where is my present, may I ask?"
I love Violetta. She's so adorable, and she never gets enough airtime due to not being involved in any drama whatsoever. With that face, I instantly wanted to give her a present, but none of the playable Fennells have enough relationship with her not to be rejected.
Time for a date at the cemetary an excursion to visit long dead relatives!
It's Eysling by witheredlilies!
Eysling: "You guys, is this really the place for a pillow fight? Isn't that kind of disrespectful?"
Oh, Eysling. You ain't seen nothing yet!. Just wait 'til you see what my sims get up to in the cemetary. They take disrespectful to a whole new level!
Besides, Leslie and Hitoshi aren't actually in the cemetary, so it's not all that bad...
I really like my cemetary, by the way. It's the only thing I've ever built that I haven't later grown to think was completely lame.
This is what I mean by completely disrespectful! ACR thinks that open grave is a hot tub. And suddenly horrible, horrible things start to happen among the townies!
Kristian: "Ewww, that is just wrong!"
Porcelain + Nico The Garden Club Guy: *end up humping on the dead broad*
Rich has finally earned his silver toymaking badge. Future Fennell children will be playing with these darn things for generations! But he really wants to make toys, and who I am I to deny my little toymaking elf?
Speaking of things Rich really wants.....
Rich: "So... do you like, maybe want to go out or something...?"
Opal: "Are you kidding? You're unemployed and male - I'm yours!" *hasn't showered in days*
Ahh, so that's why she heartfarts on every single man on campus! College students being technically unemployed, so they're all irresistible to her! It still doesn't explain one thing though. When she accepted Rich's date, I found out that Opal is a family sim. Yeah. Family! Aren't they meant to be less likely to cheat?
We interrupt Rich + Opal's first date to bring you Leslie being win (and still just like her great-grandmother Josie).
And all of a sudden, Rich's dreams seemed to have come true. Instead of watching his handsome older brother pillow fighting with the girl of his dreams, she was actually pillow fighting with him!
Rich: "I think I'm in love with you, Opal..."
Understatement of the century, but what does she think?
Opal: "I love you too!"
Yeah, she does. There were red hearts for all!
I know she a horrible hussy who will probably trample Rich's vulnerable heart in to a million pieces the moment some other guy even looks at her, but look how happy Rich is! I couldn't deny him the girl of his dreams. Could you?
Photobooth: "When I'm rockin', don't come a-knockin'...."
Rich finds out quickly that Opal does indeed go all the way on the first date. Or any time somebody smiles at her. Whatever.
This leaves Patricia as not only the only one never to have been kissed, but also the only virgin Fennell. Poor Patricia.
Rich: "So... was I... better than... Ugh, I'll shut up now..."
Opal: "Yes. The answer is yes."
I highly doubt her honestly. Who's with me?
Patricia: Yeah, props are totally the way to go when practicing speeches!
She got the womrat food stuck to her hand for hours after feeding Lilith. I have no idea. This dorm gets buggier all the time. I've never had that womrat food get stuck like that before. Trash bags, sometimes. Never womrat food.
Rich: I hope Opal likes my musroom soup. This is the first chance I've had to cook for her!
I'm sure she'll love it, sweetie. And can you make me some while you're at it?
The men's room, which in this dorm looks a lot like a men's room due to Rich having not even one neat point and taking those messy water everywhere type showers. See him cleaning the showers? I forced him, and he gave me the most pained expression imaginable.
Troy + Russet: *still fighting*
Also, the men's room has recently become the place where all the men actually hang out and privately take turns beating up on Troy. This makes it very hard for cripplingly shy Rich to practice in front of the mirror.
Opal: "So I heard you've never even been with a guy. Or been kissed. Are you a total prude or just a sad loser nobody wants?"
Patricia: "You really think you're the bomb, don't you? Not all of us jump in to bed with every guy we've ever met."
Opal: "So it's prude. That's all you had to say."
Why am I hating on Opal this much now that she's with Rich? Because the moment Rich went to class she did Troy in the photobooth.
Leslie: *has the cutest love letter face ever*
Leslie: "You're sleeping over again, Lulu? Fine, just don't howl and wake me up."
This dorm is so toxic. Everybody hates everybody. There's a fight literally every fifteen sim minutes. I've just shown a couple of the highlights.
Patricia: "That Opal! Grr! You know she called me a prude and a sad loser nobody wanted?"
Leslie: "Ugh, she would."
Patricia: ".... am I a sad loser nobody wants?"
Leslie: "Oh my god, sweetie, no! You're the Fennell heiress, and beautiful to boot! Your milkshake is gonna bring all the guys running, I promise. You just haven't met the right guy. College is seriously lacking in the decent guy department. It's too bad Hitoshi doesn't have a brother or something...."
One of the biggest reasons Patricia has yet to meet any guys is she enjoys studying far more than any of her siblings.
Another date, this time at So You Think You Can Skate...
And I can just make out Lead by thealicecat inside! I only recently downloaded her and it was the first time I saw her anywhere, so I got really excited. I love her squishy pinchable cheeks!
It actually quite surprises me that Leslie only ever wants to date Hitoshi. For a romance sim, she's a very loyal girlfriend!
That's okay with me though. I only get to play Leslie and Rich until after graduation, when they'll become regular old townies like all the spares. So I tend to try to give them everything they want while I still can!
I'm pretty sure Professor Hitoshi has never skated before. Couldn't even make it on to the rink!
What's this!??
Violetta: "I found my Christmas present. Can I keep him? Can I?"
Squee! Yes, you can!
Leslie very much approves of her twin's newfound romance. As do I.
Des: "Can you give me an awesome new haircut like you did for everybody else?"
Leslie:"Heh, I don't think Mom would be too happy if I cut your hair without asking her. How about I just shape those eyebrows a little? It won't hurt, I promise."
Prim: "Patricia's dad is the hottest piece of man meat in Legacyville! I would totally tap that!"
Patricia: Do you see what I have to put up with?
Awww, I'm so glad that I made it permanently Christmas in this dorm!
Des: I can't wait to grow up and go to college and live in this dorm!
Sorry to burst your bubble, sweetie. But as the youngest of ten children, you surely must be used to being neglected by now. I'm never sending you to college. Ever. You're just gonna grow up and become a townie. I only sent the others because your dad's LTW is to graduate 3 children from college.
Patricia manages to rope Rupert in for some last minute studying before her final exam. Nope, the dormies never autonomously researching is still as borky as ever. She wanted to study with somebody this time.
Also, one of the most beautiful sets of twins ever.
Leslie: "Who's a fuzzy wuzzy little ball of cute? You!"
Lilith: Clean my damn cage, woman! Don't make me bite you again.
Octavius: *randomly plants a smooch on big sister Leslie*
Leslie: "What was that for?"
Octavius: "I dunno. I never see you anymore. It sucks that me and Achilles can't live in the dorm, you know. We could be an almost complete Fennell dorm if that Troy guy and that Opal chick moved out."
Leslie: "I know, right!"
Prim: "Oh my god, I do not want to hear about your sexcapades! Inappropriate, much?"
Leslie: This is why I don't have any gal pals apart from my sisters. Chicks are stupid.
