Arthur Tellerman

Romance - Wants to be a Celebrity Chef
(John + Jennifer Burb = Lucy.  Lucy + Komie Tellerman = Arthur.)

Arthur is now a senior!   The last time Arthur was seen he was heading over to the Student Union to attend an outing with base game townies.  Otherwise, he spends his Uni days helping Emma Copur along with her LTW of 50 Dream Dates,  Upon graduation this round, Arthur will be moving in with Emma and his daughter Serenity.

First wishes:  Woohoo 3 Sims, be BFs with Ricky Cormier, ask Sim on a date, invite someone over and win a gaming competition.  Fears:  Lose a cooking contest and a gaming competition, Rupert the doggo gets sprayed.

Ricki Wilkie

Knowledge - Wants to be a Criminal Mastermind
(Coral Oldie married elder townie Leo Wilkie.  Leo became a plantsim and had SilverMaple.  Silver + Brittany (Upsnot) = Ricki.)

Ricki started Uni the same time Arthur did, and is a senior.   She has been having a time of it this Uni play, in a constant battle with another dormie and trying to keep up her witchy ranking.  The last time we saw Ricki, she had just graduated her junior year, and had become a senior. She is engagaed to a Goth...Henry Goth, heir to the moldy Goth Mansion and son of Alexander. Upon graduation this round, Ricki will move in with Henry.  Wont it be fun having a witch in Goth Manor!

First wishes:  Do term paper, play marco polo and have water balloon fight, do homework, and graduate with honors.  Fears:  Lose a balloon fight, be rejected for invite someone over, and go on academic probation.

Betty Broke
Family - Wants 6 Grandchildren
Teen, YA
(Brandi Broke + Skip Broke = Beau.  Beau + Brenda (YA) Broke = Betty)

Betty is now a sophomore.  She is named after her great-granny.  Poor Betty wants 6 grandchildren and hopes to settle down with Albert Goth, son of Alexander. (He is the one on the far left in the hardhat).  Albert is also a Family Sim but is already out in the world working hard to make $$$ to raise the brood Betty wants.  Back home as a teen, Betty could always be found helping to care for her younger siblings, especially after her dad got abducted and had twins.  The last time we saw Betty she was smustle dancing with her cousin Skip Broke after graduating Freshman year.

First wishes:  Invite someone over, buy a birdcage, serve food, play the piano, and be bfs with Ricki.  Fears:  Go on adacemic probation, burn food, and be rejected for invite someone over.

Minnie Pleasant
Pleasure - Wants to Become a Celebrity Chef
Teen, YA
(Daniel + Mary Sue Pleasant = Lilith. Lilith + YA Neal Leong = Minnie)

Fun loving Minnie!  Oh my how much fun this girl is.  Minnie has a terrible crush on Albert Goth's twin brother Fred.  He is in the red sweater to the right.  I see nuptials between the two in the future that is if they roll it.  Fred is Romance and also wants to work in Culinary like Minnie.  The last time we saw Minnie she had graduated Freshman year and was yakking about her hobbies.

First wishes:  Gain admittance to greek house, invite someone over, do research with someone, buy a bubble blower and a car. Fears:  be rejected for ask sim on date, be rejected for invite someone over, and go on academic probation

Sammy Dreamer
Knowledge - Wants to be a World Class Ballet Dancer
Teen, YA
(Darren + Darleen Dreamer = Dirk. Dirk + Nichole = Sammy.)

Of course being a Knowledge Sim Sammy kept the want to go to University.  He must be majoring in the Arts!  No potential wife lined up for him yet, Sammy is the first of two bachelors in Uni this play.  Not sure yet how that is going to pan out when he graduates in round 9.  Sammy is half brother to Eddie Dreamer.  The last time we saw Sam, he had graduated Freshman year.

First wishes:  Be bffs with nephew Dexter Dreamer, serve food, ask Sim on date, invite someone over, and earn $62,000.  Fears:  Burn food, go on academic probation, and be rejected for invite someone over.

Skip Broke
Fortune - Wants to be a Prestidigitator
Teen, YA
(Brandi + Skip Broke=Charles. Charles + Frannie = Skip)

Skip is Betty Broke's cousin.  Like Sammy, Skip has not shown any interest in settling down. Being a Fortune Sim, it was a shoo in that he would go to University.  His father and mother were such prolific breeders (having had 5  children) it is assumed one of the others will carry on the line.  Hey maybe he will get an apartment with Sammy.  The last time we saw him, yeah, he was graduating Freshman year.

First wishes:  Invite somone over, play marco polo, ask Sim on date, win a gaming compeition, and serve food. Fears:  Burn food, lose a gaming competition, and go on academic probation.

So, let's get this par-tay started!


Part I ended with the kids just returning from final exam.  First on the agenda...get some wishes realized!  There were a few who wanted to study right away.  Hmmm perhaps they didn't feel comfortable with the score on their final exams?


Skip and Betty wanted to serve up some cheese and crackers.  They wanted to feed all their dormie friends...


And Minnie called up Fred for some friendly dating.  Oh boy these two are an item!

What about fears???


Oh my....who received this message when trying to invite a Sim over?


Ouch!  Poor poor Betty.  Suffering while Arthur and Emma start another dream date...


**Whisper whisper** "Emma did you know that Betty and Sammy have no friends...they can't get anyone to come over and hang out!"


ASimWen:  Apparently Sammy can't cook either....he was aiming to fulfill a wish to serve food.  haha...instead he got a double whammy back to back fear fulfillment!


Being a gamer, Skip had a fear going nearly all the time of lose a gaming competition.  Soooo...he wanted to prove he was the best gamer around and played against The Infallibly Good Witch Ricki Wilkie...and she beat him.  Well, she has the gaming hobby plaque in her inventory, after all.  Oh poor Skip...what???? Tiffany Zarubin turned you down to come over and visit?  tsk tsk.


Poor poor Skip.  Maybe some time practicing your ballet moves in front of the mirror will calm you down....


Or maybe a little gardening.  (no matter how much attention that lemon tree gets it is always in desparation...)


How about some happy pictures.....three couples here.  Art and Emma, then Fred and Minnie dating to get easy wishes in (and another dream date for Emma's LTW) and then Skip and Ricki having a decent convo before the gaming competition.


It was a rare day that Art didn't roll Ask Sim On Date.  He wanted to sell a masterpeice???  Well this was probably derived from the fact that he felt like spending waking hours a the toymaking table using creativity.  This was a high point wish realized, so no more for him for the day.  Sorry Emma!  Skip on the other hand threw a series of easy wishes...talk about hobbies, play pc game...


Sammy threw similiar wishes.  Might as well get to know this dormie....  Like Arthur, Minnie did not throw Ask Sim on Date this day.  So it was play, smustle, talk about hobbies.


Ricki threw Learn About Anger Management.  Perfect for her seeing how she was constantly in fisticuffs with this dormie.  She finished her studies feeling like a refreshed Sim.  She walked out side and immediately got into a fight.  She should get over being furious with him faster since she now has this anger management skill.


Finally it was time for exams. Everyone managed to make it out the door, even Arthur.


Exams over and working on his final semester in college, Art got his dating mojo back as well as  Minnie!  Emma and Fred were on their way over!  Wishes in!


Betty wanted to invite a friend over, and was rejected at first...then she thought to invite her childhood friend Isabel Wilkie over, whom she kept wishing would attend University. Isabel called her constantly as well. Strangely, Isabel never called her sister, The Infallibly Good Witch, Ricki Wilkie.  The last time we saw Isabel, she was busy falling in love with David Caliente at his birthday party.


Ricki and Isabel had a happy sister reunion and got right down to business with a lot of yak yak yakking.  ASimWen used this opportunity to check on the two dating couples...and wwhhhhuuuuttts that????


Sammy and Betty?????  Just missed snapping the pic of the kiss, and missed getting hearts over the head.  Yup, they fell in love all by themselves.  Betty says, goodbye Albert Goth!  As it is in this neighborhood, the Sims choose who they like!  And here it is!!!!  (I am pleasantly pleased).

*****


Another day, ASimWen looking for easy low point wishes to fulfill.  When The Infallibly Good Witch Ricki Wilkie isn't studying or doing magic, she is playing games.  After all, she is a pro gamer having beaten Skip in the gaming competition.


So much for a quiet afternoon of gaming.....she doesn't seem to be getting over being furious with this dormie, even though she studied anger management.


After the fight was over and the dormie slunk away in defeat...a fire started.  Now yes, the picture is labeled with Sim names and arrows.  I call this picture Sim Lust.  Click on it to make it big for just a sec so you can get the gist.  Ok.  Lemme explain what is going on here.  The couple Minnie and Fred are there.  However, Minnie has eyes for Art who is running around crazily....and a dormie has eyes for Fred, Minnie's beau.  And nobody seems to care!  Yes.  Lots of lust here.


Whilst the lusting was going on in the cafeteria, Sammy had taken to his computer to do some financial counseling.  Wow what was that big deposit of aspiration?  A financial goal met, maybe?  Nope.  Checking memories, he made a BFF.


Art received a big deposit too...apparently he was wishing for the Arts and Crafts hobby plaque.  There you go, Artie!


Art stopped hammering away on the sit and spin he was working on, and graciously accepted his hobby plaque.  Closely following was the gold badge in toy making.  Betty won the music and dance hobby plaque while working on the music and dance blog she writes.  Betty did this completely on her own, ASimWen never directed her to the ballet barre or the blog.  Good for you Betty!


The Infallibly Good Witch Ricki Wilkie sent the problem dormie flying twice....via fighting and casting spells on him.  Whoops...she cast a spell she wasn't certain what it did.  Apparently she can turn other Sims into witches/warlocks.  ha.  It will be fun having a resident warlock on campus.

By now it was time for final exams and graduation.  Artie was first.


Go you, Artie!!!!  Glad you made it to final exam!


Final Wishes:  Talk about hobbies, flirt, work out, go ice skating, meet someone new, and woohoo three Sims.  Fears:  be rejected for Ask Sim on Date and flirt, and burn food.

Haha!  Love the snakeskin jacket!  Might just keep it!  Goodbye Art!  See you next round at Emma's!  As Art was entering the taxi, everyone came running outside to say goodbye.   As they cleared away, Betty and Sammy were alone.  Left to their own devices:


The kissing commenced....and they fell for each other hard.  OOOOhhhh LOOKY....Betty wants to get engaged.  Note this in Autumn...can't blame it on spring time.  Well okie dokie!  These Sims know their hearts!

Will you???

Yes, yes, yes~~~!


Well I didn't exactly expect that move out of Sammy....but okay!  One engaged couple coming right up!

Next to graduate was The Infallibly Good Witch, Ricki Wilkie.


See you back in Pleasantivew at Goth Manor!  We will be seeing your wedding to Henry Goth, son of Alexander Goth!  Wishes:  Play marco polo, play computer games, blog about games, Become Chief of Staff, play chess, and talk about hobbies.  Fears:  Get rejected for a dance, doggo Raspberry is sprayed by a skunk, and burn food.  Buh-Bye Rickie, it has been a gas playing you!


The rest of the kids returned from final exam all passing to their Junior year, and all in platinum mood!  Wow!  That means no wishes fulfilled on this day for them.  Left to right - Minnie Pleasant, Skip Broke, Betty Broke, and Sammy Dreamer.  See you all next round for your next uni adventure!  Who will join you from the 'hood?  It remains to be seen!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting the kids!  Remember to get your pets spayed or neutered!  Next we head over to Veronaville and see what they are up to over there!

  1. I love your challenge but how do you take good pictures of the sims

  2. Hi Sam! Thank you for dropping by the blog. Well, I use a combination of keyboard shortcuts, and the arrow keys to zero the camera in on what I want to take a picture of. If one "tabs" out of the UI, the keys Q,W,E and S behave like the Up, Down, Right, and left arrows as well. I use the Windows Snip Tool alot...(I have a shortcut to it on my tool bar) I use FRAPS for screenshots of the UI...then snip out the parts I want to keep. Last but not least I use Win10 3D program to put the text on (sometimes I use PaintShopPro but that is $$$), and I use the Windows simple editing program to snip as well. I use a bunch of stuff. ;)

  3. I've not played a Witch or Warlock in a long time, and not on campus, either; it may all come up soon in my game, I just never remember what's next until I look up the previous chapter in a Sim's life before I start playing.
    A lot going on in this round, new couples, yay!

    1. I really had not played witches/warlocks much until I played this neighborhood. First one turned was Lucy (Burb) Tellerman when she threw a wish. I thought it would be fun and so it was! As an elder she threw a wish to be cured, so she was. I find it to be fun.

  4. Sammy & Betty, yay! I do love it when our Sims choose for themselves!
    The snakeskin jacket suits Art, I wonder if he'll stay faithful to Emma?
    It'll be interesting to see Minnie and Skip next time, she's had a fun round of dating while he's enjoyed his pc, haha.
    Good for Ricki turning a dormie into a warlock! I wonder how that will work out next time! Can't wait to see Ricki at Goth Manor.

    1. IKR? I am very excited to play Ricki and Henry together....especially the fact of witchiness in the Goth Manor....and then the mix of their genes. I can't wait, but have a lot of playing to do in Veronaville before!!! I love that hood too!

  5. Wow, what a difference a year of college makes. I like Sammy and Betty, it will be fun to see them for the ending on uni. Art in that jacket is just too fun, and I'm excited to see him get to be a dad to his daughter. Ricki heading to the Goth Manner should be a lot of fun! Super excited to see how that goes. :D
