This is a continuation of the Sunset Valley timeline, and is going to run parallel with it, starting where Chapter 7 ends.
This is
my first time playing with the University Expansion pack, and sending
sims to university, so even though I have been to university in real
life, I am just as fresh to this experience as are my sims are! So bear
with me... I also left them on autonomy as much as I could, to see how
they would do it. As always, I don't want to be in charge of the story, I
just want to watch it unfold and then tell it as it happens.
As a full degree in the Sims game is only 48 credits and I want them to
do a somewhat realistic amount of semesters, I sent them off to only do
six credits per semester.
Arriving at university! Sunday, august 15th 2021.
Oliver Freddy's notes:
As the moving van drove us there through the night, we had slept most of
the way there. When we arrived, we got a spot at the De Anda House
close to the shoreline and the Howard Library. I had applied for a
degree in medicine, as that would be most beneficial for my science
career, and Inge had luckily got a spot at the art studies.The map says
the institute of technology and medicine where I think I will have to
spend most of my time is just on the other side of campus from our dorm.
I think I will get a bike or car to get around here faster.
Inges notes:
Oh, this is so exciting! This is my first time outside Sunset Valley. I
can't wait to start.. to meet all the fellow students, to go to
lectures, parties and just experience the university life! We will be
sharing our dorm with six other students. I can't wait to get to know
them!
Oliver Freddys notes:
Wow, the student dorm is much bigger then I expected. There are three
floors, and it even has its own pool table and fitness room. I will have
no trouble enjoying it here, I should think. I found myself a nice
reading spot on the third floor, away from the noise of my room mates
computer games downstairs.
Inges notes:
Even though both of our parents have promised to pay tuition fees, I was
a little worried about finances. I had a look on the map that was sent
out to all new students and located the 25 routes cinema. I went there
and asked if they would hire for a part time job in the music career,
but they said they didn't accept students. To get the job I had to quit
university, which was a let down. Oh, anyway, I am going to have to get
used to navigating through these traffic lights, there are so many new
things here!
Oliver Freddys notes:
At 12:30 there was an information meeting at the student union, so I
grabbed a bike to get there. Well, I didn't find any meeting, just a
table handing out free stuff, which I guess is alright. Instead I found
arcade machines, which is pretty sweet.
They also had a ping pong table, where I played ping pong with this blonde girl. I didn't catch her name, though.
Inges notes:
They were handing out some free stuff at what they called an information
meeting for new students, which is pretty neat I guess. Not sure where
they kept the meeting, though, because I didn't find any! The coolest
thing I got was this gigantic sketch book, perfect for practicing my
drawing skills!
Oliver Freddys notes:
University life must be pretty great. This is my first day here, and I
already got an invitation to a party. Before I went to the party I
called mom to tell her we had arrived safely and everything was ok like I
promised. She was so happy I called, and said she was already looking
forward to me coming home for the holidays.
The host of the party had already left when I got there, but there still
seemed to be some kind of party going on, so I stayed and danced for a
while.

After a while this guy who introduced himself as Walter Fulman came over
and talked to me. I found out he was a loser, an angler and family
oriented. He didn't seem like the most interesting person, but we got
along alright.
Inges notes:
After I had finished my sketch I went into a nearby room where I found a
lectern. There was nobody there, so I tried practicing holding a
lecture about painting.
Maybe I could be a professor one day! Afterwards I went back home to our
dorm to get to know our room mates, but nobody was there, so I looked
through the telescope for a while. When I went to bed for the night, I
still hadn't gotten the opportunity to talk to any of my new room mates.
Maybe tomorrow!
Oliver Freddys notes:
At the party place they had a nice couch outside I wanted to sit on, but
suddenly Jefferey Dean, the host of the party showed up out of nowhere
to boast about his gaming skills. At the same time I couldn't help but
notice this naked guy entering the party. I didn't ask him about that to
not make a fool of myself, but it makes me wonder what kind of place
this really is. If you entered a party naked in Sunset Valley, you would
get a reprimand and get told to leave pretty quickly, I am sure!
I learned that Jefferey is a good kisser and a daredevil. He is also
brave, just like me. Maybe I can like this guy. When I came home and
went to bed in the bedroom we had selected, Inge was already asleep.
Just to make sure, I locked the door to our room for anyone but us.
