With the two oldest girls starting their own families, and the three younger kids off at college, Joe and Marisa Knight had the whole house to themselves. With two fortune sims, you can guess what that meant - skilling, promotions, work... It's all about the money.

Marisa became a criminal mastermind at last. Permaplat, baby!

Joe moved up in his medical career, as well. Here he brings home Paul Ryan from work...

Which prompts his wife to start floating hearts for the guy all over the place. Hey Marisa, your husband is sitting right there!

Clearly it's time Joe starts to get back into shape. Marisa likes him fit, so maybe this will keep her from being so interested in other men?

Hmmpphh. No such luck. What a hussy you are, Marisa!

Not too bright, either. The bed is right there. I swear, some sims... Too bad I'm not allowed to kill her.

Instead, I make her write a novel. About the stock market, apparently. Okay, she wanted to write a best seller, so it's not much of a punishment, really.

It did sell, so that's fine by me. I don't have to like it, as long as enough others do...

Ouch! Now that has got to hurt!


Points this round: 2, for TOCs. Marisa became a Criminal Mastermind, Joe the Chief of Staff, which means they're now both permaplat. Joe has already started on his next career, but I can't remember at the moment what it was. Science, maybe?
At Fruhm Fraternity, I had to squeeze in Jennifer's dormie boyfriend as well as the original four I had intended, so things got a bit crowded.

Speaking of the dormie, here he is after a slight makeover. Renaud Bendett, Pisces (5/3/7/3/7), is a knowledge sim who wants to be a criminal mastermind. Him and everybody else - I swear half the sims in Strawberry Fields want to be either criminals or cops. (Or chefs. Maybe it's the letter C that attracts them?) Anyway, Renaud likes red hair and underwear, but is turned off by brown hair.

He spent most of his time skilling and making friends. Once co-opted into the secret society, his criminal bent made itself known when he began hacking his grades.

Oops. Hi Demi...

Awww, she took the computer! Oh well, I'll just buy them a new one.

Tavarez Knight and his high school sweetheart Rebecca had decided to "see other sims" in college. Of course, she didn't know that meant he'd be seeing her little sister Rose... Or, indeed, that he'd been doing so behind her back when they were teens back home.

But what can you do? Three bolts are three bolts, after all. These two are so much in love, who could deny them? Not me. They're just so perfect for each other.

Daniel Vega didn't have a future wife picked out yet when he came to college, although I had a few possibilities in mind: Rebecca Forsythe, Nina Nettles, or Priscilla Antonius. Given his extreme sloppiness (one neat point) a virgo neat freak like Nina didn't seem like a very good idea, despite the two bolts. Priscilla or Rebecca? Well, I was planning to re-roll his turn-ons after two years, to get rid of that fitness turn-off, so maybe that would give me a better idea of what to do. I decided to wait.

Meanwhile he skilled, did his schoolwork, made friends, and painted masterpieces. The life of a fortune sim in college.

Our other family sim around here, Ronnie Black, did pretty much the same - except for the painting part. Well, he painted, but they weren't masterpieces, and he let Daniel do the selling. Since Ronnie was adopted as a child, and never had the smart milk effect, he had considerably fewer skill points than the others when he came to uni. Fewer than anyone except Renaud the dormie, that is.

He did find the time to fall in love with and get engaged to Lexie Nottington in between skilling sessions. Ohhh, shiny!

And the romancer of the bunch, Ramsey Bonaccord. He stayed faithful to his love Mercedes - smart move, when rooming with her brother Daniel! They're a solid three bolt couple. Yep, another one. They seem to be all over the place - not that I'm complaining.


Nobody changed their aspiration at the end of sophomore year, but Daniel did get new turn-ons. Now he likes fitness (yay!) and brown hair, but dislikes blond hair. Hmmm - Rebecca has brown hair... She doesn't like facial hair though, so let's have Daniel shave before I leave the lot, and then we'll see.

All five were Greek House members (obviously), secret society members, big sims on campus, and maintained a 4.0 GPA.
