 Canyon Commons (see PV 6/29/25) has three students: Jake Alpha, Trinity Wong, and new student Teddy Fuchs.

    Jake had an okay date, joined Oresha-Hoh-Var (where he moved at the end of the term), and earned a B+/3.7 GPA.  He'll begin sophomore year next round.

    Trinity had a date with fiancé Garrett GilsCarbo, got accepted to Tri-Fruhm finally (she also moved), and scored a B-/2.3 GPA.  She'll also be a sophomore next time.

    Teddy is majoring in philosophy with the intent of entering the Journalism career.  He had a dream date with Zaira Jeffress and also got a B- for the term.  His GPA is 2.9 and he'll finish freshman year next round.

Happy Simming!

 Moving on to LFT, we have the Tri-Fruhm Sorority (see PV 6/29/25), where there are now six members: Claire Carr, Claire Dreamer, Katy LeTourneau, Sydney Jacquet, and new members Clarissa Fancey and Ericka Tellerman.

    Claire Carr scored a B+ for the term and is entering her final senior semester.

    Clarissa scored B- and will finish sophomore year next round.

    All the other girls made the Dean's List.  Claire Dreamer will also be graduating next round, Sydney finished junior year and will begin senior year, and Ericka and Katy will both be wrapping up junior year next time.

Oresha-Hoh-Var (see PV 6/29/25) got a new member, bringing the total to three: Brian Ryan, Ray Picaso, and Simon Korman.

    All three boys were sick the entire round and, though Brian was able to rally enough to get the skill point he needed (Simon already had the skills needed), Ray was never able to get his logic point, which cost him academically.

    Brian earned a B- and a 2.9 GPA; he'll be graduating next round.

    Ray got a C+ and has a 3.1, which was good enough to finish junior year.

    Simon did the best with a B+ and (I think) a 3.8, however he will not have the opportunity to complete sophomore year next round, as he died of disease immediately upon returning from his final exam. 😔  Ray did attempt to plead for his frat brother's life, but it fell on deaf ears.  Simon was the oldest child of Brittany and Alan Korman; he leaves behind his parents and two younger siblings.  RIP Simon.

Happy Simming!

 Pinenut Plaza (see PV 6/28/25) had two students this round: Garrett GilsCarbo and Joe Grundstrom (a former vacation townie, who was dating a playable sim, and therefore was grown up with her and sent to Uni).

    Garrett continued to rack up admirers.  It seems as though he had three bolts for every woman he's ever met (except his mother, of course, lol).  Several more dormies began following him around and he met some more ladies on community lots as well.  However, during his date with Trinity Wong (in which they rekindled their teen romance), both he and Trinity rolled wants to get engaged.  Now, I have a system for deciding these things, but recently I made an exception for when both sims have the same want to get married or have a baby.  It stands to reason that engagement would be included there as well, but normally I do engagements as just part of the marriage process, once sims have moved in together, rather than as a formal step in the relationship.  In this case, with both of these sims being at Uni (and in different colleges), they are not able to move in together, so I decided to let them get engaged, since they both want it and, if they're still together by the time they graduate (they're both Romance so...), I will move them in together and get them married automatically.  I think that will still work with the way I play, so I'm happy with it.  In other news, Garrett joined Urele-Oresha-Cham and moved there at the end of the term.  He earned a B+ and a 3.2 GPA and will begin his sophomore year next round.

    Joe doesn't know very many sims yet, but he's been dating Eliza Ottomas for a while.  They had a date this round which went very well.  Hopefully they'll stay together until he finishes college, as Eliza opted not to go to college and is currently sharing an apartment with her twin brother.  Joe is majoring in biology, with the intent to pursue Medicine.  He finished the term with a perfect 4.0 and will complete freshman year next round.

Happy Simming!

 Landgraab House has two new incoming freshmen: Julian Delarosa and Aaron Broke.

    Julian is majoring in math, with the intent to enter the Science career.  He spent some time with his good friend Jay Broke (who happens to be Aaron's cousin) and worked on his term paper.  He earned an A+ for the term, thereby starting Uni off right with a perfect 4.0.

    Aaron is majoring in philosophy; he'll be going into Journalism.  He was a lot less studious than Julian, preferring to spend time making toys on the toy bench and taking his baby sister out for a day at the community pool.  He earned a C+ and a 2.5 GPA.  He also rolled the want to join a Greek house, so he pledged Urele-Oresha-Cham and was accepted; he'll move there at the end of next term (when he finishes freshman year), which will be just in time, as Jordan Hanby will graduate next round.

At Sim State Dorm (see PV 6/28/25) there are still four students: Jay Broke, Anthony Tellerman, Leo Deppiesse, and Zaira Jeffress.

    Anthony had a date with his girlfriend Cybil Fancey, and then decided to go Greek, joining Fruhm-Cham-Cham.  Since he's already a sophomore, he'll be moving there right away.  He finished the term with a B and a 3.2 GPA.

    Jay and Zaira had a date, which had mixed results.  It went well in the beginning, but then she rejected him for a first kiss, and he went to bed feeling pretty down.  In the end, he's still crushing on her, but she's got him in the friend zone.  Jay finished the semester with a B+ and Zaira got an A+.

    Leo asked out a dormie and was turned down flat, better luck next time!  At least he scored and A+ for the term.

Happy Simming!

 At Urele-Oresha-Cham there are still two members: Ross Grundstrom and Jordan Hanby.

    Ross spent his time working to save up for an apartment.  He earned a total of $2442, which is not a huge amount for rent, but maybe he and his twin sister Dawn will share a place for a bit?  He also has an engagement want for his girlfriend, so that might happen pretty quickly once he gets settled.

    Jordan earned an A+ for the term, bringing his GPA to 3.2.  He'll be finishing senior year next round.  I have a placeholder who is already a member of the frat, but Jordan hasn't met him, so if no one from the dorms joins, he'll have to track him down in preparation for moving him in when he leaves.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/13/25 Round 7

 David Ottomas (see PV 6/28/25) spent his final semester at the campus gym doing personal training.  He wasn't terribly motivated, as he kept getting distracted by beautiful ladies, but he earned a few thousand bucks.  He's going to be moving back into the family home, since his father Andrew is very near the end of his life, and his mother Kaylynn just gave birth to his baby brother.  Since David is not likely to settle down anytime soon, it makes sense that he'd want to be there for his mom.

Tri-Var Sorority got played this round since it now has two members: Viola Mellon and Lysandra Harris.

    Viola has been a placeholder for Tri-Var for a while, and now that there's a new member, she has officially become playable.  Viola is Romance/Pleasure, with a LTW for Athletic, and is majoring in Drama.  She made some new friends (and has high chemistry with a couple of guys) this round, as well as acing her classes/exams for a 4.0 GPA.  She'll finish freshman year next round.

    Lysandra also scored an A+, maintaining her 4.0, but was a little less successful socially.  She had been dating Blaze Broke until she caught him cheating, but that's currently off the table, though she may forgive him in time.  She has a couple other prospects as well, so we'll see what happens with her.  She'll complete sophomore year next round.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/21/25 Gouda Legacy

 My new legacy is a grilled cheese cult which is being founded by Brie Gouda.  I have built an apartment complex where the cult members will reside.  Brie has moved in and begun her life as the ultimate cheese enthusiast.  The rules are still a bit loose and there's not much to report just yet, but I'm planning to have lots of children and fill the compound up as quickly as possible.  Sims who don't live on the compound can also be Goudentologists, but they'll practice on a more relaxed level.  Brie's first day was spent mostly getting settled and painting for money to furnish her apartment.  More to come next round.

Happy Simming!
