Pleasantview 7/6/20

Today we are catching up with the Lam Plaza Dorm which has two residents: Lucas Broke and Gabriella Hamilton.
Lucas is the son of Beau and Calista Broke (Calista was a former nanny).  He has two much older siblings from his father's first marriage.  Since he was adopted when his parents were already elders, they both died when he was still a child.  His older brother AJ became his guardian, but they've never been particularly close.  Lucas is, however, very close to AJ's daughter Savannah who is technically his niece, but since they're so close in age is more like a cousin.  Lucas' parents were quite wealthy so he's been able to pay for Uni with no problem.  This round Lucas is a first term senior, majoring in Art with the intention of becoming a Journalist.  Next round he will complete his senior year and graduate.
Gabriella Hamilton is the daughter of Gabe Landry and Marylena Hamilton GilsCarbo, who were both former townies.  She has three older sisters on her dad's side, two full brothers, and three younger brothers on her mom's side.  Marylena was Gabe's third "wife"* and after his death Marylena married Goopy GilsCarbo.  Gabi doesn't really know her older sisters very well, so most of her life has been spent dealing with her numerous brothers.  Poor girl.  This round Gabi is a first term freshman, majoring in Art and planning to be an Architect.  Financially she's doing ok, she has a little money towards future semesters, but it will likely run out by sophomore or junior year, at which point she'll begin using student loans.  Next round she'll finish her freshman year.

*I say "wife" because they were technically not married due to a glitch which caused Gabe's first marriage bond (to Dina Caliente Goth Landry) not to break when she died.  So, while he should have been married to Kendal Greaves and then Marylena Hamilton, he actually wasn't, resulting in his older three adopted daughters showing Dina as their mother in the family tree instead of Kendal and his three kids with Marylena having the last name Hamilton instead of Landry.

Next up is Casteroff Dorm where there are two residents: Darius Goss and Dawn Grundstrom.
Darius Goss is the alien son of Jay Goss (a former townie I moved in with the purpose of getting more alien sims into my game).  As the result of an alien abduction, Darius has many siblings, but the ones he knows best are the ones he grew up with, Zena and Xander.  Darius is the youngest of the three and their father is deceased.  This round he's a second term sophomore, majoring in Math and planning to become a Gamer.  With no parent left to help out, he's relying entirely on student loans.  Next round he'll begin his junior year.
Dawn Grundstrom is the daughter of Stephen Landgraab and Tess Grundstrom, as well as the twin sister of Ross Grundstrom who we met earlier (see the first Pleasantview entry on 6/30/20).  She has many siblings, but her parents are still doing their best to contribute to their children's educations.  Nevertheless, attending the most expensive school in Pleasantview is taking its toll on her finances and she's sinking into debt fairly quickly.  This round Dawn is a first term sophomore, majoring in Biology with the intent to enter the Medical field.  Next round she'll be finishing her sophomore year.

Finally we have Mille House Dorm, the final household in ALT, which has two residents: Savannah Broke and Blake Tellerman.
Savannah Broke is the adopted daughter of AJ Broke (AJ is the son of Beau and Jade Broke {Jade is a former townie}).  She has four siblings and is Lucas' niece (see above).  While she's close to her father and Lucas (who she grew up with), she doesn't have much of a relationship with her brothers and sisters because they are all quite a bit older than she is.  This round Savannah is a first term sophomore, majoring in Economics for a future career in Intelligence.  She's doing fine financially, as her father is still living in her Grandpa Beau's big house and spending her Uncle Lucas' inheritance.  Next round she'll finish her sophomore year.
Blake Tellerman is the adopted son of Katie Tellerman (daughter of Komei and Jodie Tellerman).  He has six siblings, most of whom are also adopted.  Despite being single for most of her adult life and raising so many children on her own, Katie is fairly well off and Blake is not struggling financially.  This round he is a second term freshman, majoring in Physics and planning on a career in Science.  Next round he'll begin his sophomore year.


That completes all three Universities and we'll be moving on to Briarwood Preparatory Academy next.  This is a private boarding school which I built for all my private school kids (private school is also not free) which is technically an apartment with four units, but I consider all the kids to be living in the same household with separate living quarters.  More on Briarwood tomorrow when I have the first update.  Until then, Happy Simming!
