Lots o couples
May. 17th, 2008 12:21 amThis week, my students begged me for an extension on their assignments, and I said ". . . . welllll, alllll right." That gives me time to get ready for the Avalon Ball, which will probably wipe me, and also to Sim.
I just spent the last few days getting about a billion couples together. And I've got a few more to go. There is so much to put in the next couple of updates that I might go ahead and do one sooner than I thought. I do have a semi-natural ending that I'll be close on, and with about six couples getting together, plus a wedding, plus a baby (because of course Lytton is getting in there), plus other stuff, plus PLOT, I'll be pushing it to get it to under 124 slides as it is.
I've been saving the coolest couples for last. All I'll say is that I have been looking forward to getting some of these Sims together for months. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about one of them. I think it's a kind of romantic idea, but some people might not like it. But I've already staged it, because by golly I wanted a little over-the-top stuff.
Everyone is a senior by now, except for the Roman girls (I think Poppaea and Candida are sophomores) and Diana, who is almost through freshman year. I have to play her as much as possible because Emerald's LTW is Graduate Three Children. As it is, Emerald may not live to be very old, as she wasn't permaplat when she aged up (though she was platinum, I think.) I know a lot of people say they don't like Uni, but it's a relief not to have to worry about children or pets. The Roman boys' house can be a bit stressful, but that's because eight sims live there. Eight is a lot, especially when so many of them are Romance or Pleasure Sims and they are always wanting dates.
Poor Domitian and Diana! I just haven't had time to find him a girlfriend. He's barely green most of the time--he's been edging into red a few times. They have similar problems, actually. Numa has been ripping through the female Sim population with the wishing well--he has ten simultaneous lovers now. I'm not even trying very hard to get him his LTW. And then it didn't seem fair that he should have several and Liliane should only have him, so she has been three-timing him with Replacement Llama Guy and PseudoGoth Downtownie Boy, who in an extra moment of ewww, is still engaged to Stacie. Stacie would be terribly upset, except that she's cheated on him, too. I can't remember if he caught her at it or not. I might have, in an attempt to break their engagement, as it's certainly very awkward.
Sophia had 50 First Dates, and while many were the hi-and-goodbye kind, she also had pink hearts with a number of them. So there is hardly anybody left for Domitian or Diana to date that wouldn't freak out their housemates. Diana actually dated Goopy once or twice, when her sister was at class, and she likes him.
I guess there is something about being a reformed Pleasure Sim. Now that she's a Fortune Sim and a senior, Sophia is rolling wants like "Get Into the Garden Club." I got them all some garden plot and a little pond. It's something else to do, and if they can earn the Wishing Well by the time Sophia graduates, that will make Best Friends and Dates easier to get. Too bad I didn't have it for Cecilia and Jane, but I earned them their Twenty Best Friends the hard way.
I did Fifty First Dates and Twenty Best Friends twice and I'm getting to Earn 100,000 Simoleans at the other house without any cheats. By golly, yes, I am proud.
