Round 7 (Spring): SelenaQ Hall  

When we last saw the Sweet twins, Ramona and Arlo, they were rounding out their teen days at home, working hard at the bakery and spending time with their brand new baby sister. With two days left in spring, they've just moved into SelenaQ Hall and are ready to start their young adult lives as SMCC's newest students.





[More pictures of their new digs.]



Their roommates are Roslyn and Paul.







Ramona Scopes the Gym: A Short Tale in Pictures














Fin.



Arlo takes a look for himself...


...and sees one of his roommates in a brand new light.


But hold that thought—it's time for class!


Back at the dorm, he lays out his best moves. Er, maybe try less dependence on the Awkward Wave next time?


Still, Roslyn is left with lingering thoughts of Arlo's je ne sais quoi...


It's really easy to get distracted when you're living in close quarters with so many young people, though.


The twins, with all of the culinary experience they've gained from supplying their parents' bakery, take charge of the cooking in their new home. Unfortunately, it looks like the dormies won't be much for cleaning.





At SMCC Student Center, Ramona gives romance another shot. If at first you don't succeed...

try


again.


"Help, I'm falling and that stupid dude is making kissy faces with another girl!"


"Aw for the love of—"
Ramona just can't catch a break!


Arlo and Eustacia have an enthusiastic reunion.


"Look at the time! I'd better go."
Well, Eustacia, you sure know how to leave 'em wanting more!





Wim: "Oh hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, guy who's now making out with my old makeout buddy Eustacia. I'm here to KISS YO SISTER."

To wit:



More like "to be kissed," right, Wim?


Ramona is pleased. (This is so much easier than finding a new date.)


Wim is COOL WITH THIS, you guys.





College life!


An unrecognizable Paul (where did that hair come from?) gets struck by lightning whilst trying to enjoy a little hot tub in the rain.


RIP, friend. We hardly knew ye.


"But hey, why let a little thing like death get in the way of a hilarious prank?": sez the cow.


"Teeheeheeheeheehee!"


The next morning, this gentleman shows up to move into Paul's old room. ...It's possible he's just started wearing whatever was already in the closet.  :|

Not too bad, considering I'm continuing my policy of only having them do work when they roll wants to!


They may be halfway a quarter of the way through their college careers now, but no matter how old they get, this is still a good time.
The Sweet twins!

Notes: Gah, finally! I finished this round in January but was just utterly stumped by the fact that I'd taken about 150 pictures for a two-day round. So this is a bit of an experiment of trying to incorporate extra pictures I've shared on tumblr to keep the length down (so I hope you do click the links!)... I don't know how successful it is, but there you have it! Also, I'm still mad that LJ is making my Photobucket images look blurry for some reason (WHYYYY?!), but that probably just bothers me more than anyone else, right? SIGH. Anyway, Ste-Margo!

OMG, all those naked butts...and a death! :o I haven't played in dorms for so long that I completely forgot that dormies like to die for some silly reasons. Although, getting struck by lightning isn't that silly...

I think Ramona is my favourite. I just adore her! She has the cutest expressions :) And I lol'd at her attempts to flirt with those dormies.

I recently watched your livestreams and was drooling all over the uni buildings. They look so nice in the pictures aswell :) I love how you decorated their dorm!

There do seem to be a lot of butts in these uni updates, no?!

I love Ramona, and her fixed skin makes her all the cuter. She was a scary toddler, but she's just kept getting prettier and prettier <3

Haha, I don't think I've even watched through the last tour videos. Silly! But thank you—this dorm came out really well, I think!

Aw, I felt so bad for Ramona. No one wants to flirt with her... She makes the greatest expressions!

I lost it at the cow mascot shoving its snout into Arlo's face. Also, at Ramona's misfortune. She really isn't used to not getting what she wants!

Ha, that cow is *so* inappropriate! Ramona was having a bad time of it for a while there, and I don't know if she'll be content to stick with her high school bf Wim. She wants to flirt, but no one wants to flirt back!

Yaaaay! I'm so happy to see an update. And Ramona! And Arlo! And Wim! Oh boy!

Two days and they're sophomores? Wow, your college goes fast.

Have you tried other picture hosting sites? I could never get pics from my Photobucket to show up a proper size on MTS, but when I started putting them on Flickr they were suddenly normal. With as many as you take, you'd have to pay for Flickr service, but that's not the only alternative photo host out there.

Yay, they're all happy to be back, too!

Yep, I'm using a semester=2 days mod. I think it was because I was using a different age mod at first, because I like playing the uni stage so it wasn't just to try and shorten that part. There was some logic that led to me putting it in the game, even if I can't totally remember it. I still think it makes college a more proportional length, though, so I'm keeping it for the time being.

I tried imgur today, but since the pictures look fine on Photobucket, it seems like it's something LJ is doing to lower the resolution somehow.... I don't know. I'm going to try my hardest not to let it bother me (even if my pictures look so much prettier at their proper sharpness, wah!).

Where are you going to put the grave of the unfortunate dormie? Will you have a haunted dorm?

I had a dormie once who was too stupid to bathe, eat, or sleep. (Therefore she died. And my sim helped her boyfriend get over it.)

I can't remember if I sent it to the cemetery or not... but I think that's the place for it. I think having an onsite grave would have to break some kind of university health code, no?

Aw, thank you. I really love hearing that—makes all the time that goes into putting these together worthwhile!

Oh, I like the idea of only doing uni work when they want to. I guess it isn't realistic to have an entire population graduate with 4.0s. I wonder if I can relax my control enough to actually have this happen... >__>
