Brown Family, Freshman Semester 2

ink_sec_simsAnd our return to the beginning, and the only Sim not currently living in Inkwell Secundus. Let's see how Emmett's doing, shall we?
Since I'm aiming for at least one in each skill category (preferably more), Doc starts his second semester with jump rope. I really like this new option -- it makes working out so much easier!
As Doc eats breakfast, let me show you the reason behind the cut text. Look at all those books! And it's only going to get worse, folks.
Ah-huh. Doc, honey, I have nothing against older person-younger person relationships, but I was hoping to get you a biological kid in addition to adopting Dee. Please be attracted to someone closer to your own age? (He later heartsfarted over Tammy the cafeteria worker back there. *facepalm*)
Doc finally makes his first friend in Stephan. Hooray for social interaction!
I know that erasable pens exist, but that really doesn't look like one of them. Still, whatever gets him class performance. . . .
Studying Mechanical -- it's easier than constantly breaking the shower seeking Tinkering enthusiasm.
Doc's usually a nice Sim, but when the "ruin painting" option came up, I decided to take it. (I believe Joanne painted this one.) Unfortunately, it reduced the value, not added to it like I've heard it can do. Ah well, it was still an extra five simoleons.
Doc decides to do a little scrubbing. Ye Gods, look at that sink. Got him a Cleaning point, though.
Trust me, this is not Doc complimenting his friend. This is Doc attempting to make life better for everyone by influencing Stephan to bathe. Idiot dormie tried to use the girls' shower first, though -- typical. (He did use the boys' shower later, though.)
Doc starts a new painting on his new personal easel, in the process gaining enough enthusiasm to get a membership card to My Muse II Art Studio. (No picture of the card bestowing because my hacks include that becoming a pop-up message.)
This is one of Doc's professors, Prof. Audrey Woodrow. They make friends over the course of this phone call. Hey, nothing like buttering up your teachers, am I right?
However, while Doc obliviously yaps on the phone. . . Gotta love dorm fires! And the sprinkler.
What the -- you stinky moron, you just lived through a fire!
Doc does not approve of your shenanigans, Brenda. No wonder he thinks you're the opposite of hot.
Why do we even HAVE a sprinkler in that room?! Now the carpet's wrecked and Doc's hygiene is in the toilet. Thank you SO much, Brenda.
Seriously, how are my dormies staying alive? I'm pretty sure I have Pescado's "nouniprotect" in there. Then again, Doc would probably be sad if his friend kicked the bucket, so. . . .
The next morning, Doc tries to get a start on his term paper, but the bottomed-out Environment score along with a lack of Fun makes him quit really early. Time to get him out of his hellhole for a while.
The LeTour Student Center should provide a nice break.
Yay, Karen the SS member is there! I have Doc play darts with her to up relationship scores. I really want him in the Secret Society.
After darts and a quick meal, Doc returns to Temporis Dorm. He still has a term paper to do, but the student lounge is still a mess. (I ain't having him clean up after his idiot roommates.) Luckily, my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anonymoose_au is awesome and made a cheap typewriter that Sims can write novels and do term papers on. A quick expenditure of $100, and we're off.
Great Success! Doc feels fulfilled as he manipulates the invisible mouse.
More painting. You know, in the novelization of the first Back To The Future, Doc had a room in his mansion devoted to painting. He did portraits of famous scientists. I guess this isn't such a weird OTH for him after all.
Oh God, it's Audrey again. I forgot that EAxis programmed the college professors to be stalkers.
"Kissing? But isn't that a violation of our student/teacher relationship?"
Doc calls Rosemarie the Head Witch next, but is interrupted by llama. And I don't know if you can see it in the background, but I've got the cheerleader too. HEEEELP
Well, okay, the cheerleader's not so bad when she's not cheering. Interestingly enough, this one, Suzanne, has the last name Brown. :p
To complete the trifecta, the streaker (Kari Straight) shows up. Doc tries to talk to her, but it doesn't go well. "No, I don't care if they try to arrest me for public decency violations!"
Temporis Dorm, everyone! God, I have to get Doc a house of his own.
Day three, and it's time for more tinkering in the dirty shower. At least he didn't break it this time.
Also more Mechanical studying, which is given a boost by Doc's "Eureka!" Lifetime Benefit. Maybe I'll get him interested in science yet.
Doc calls up Hyun Curtin, the weird-faced male SS member, to chat. "No, I don't care what the two Bobs said -- I won't admit to working on the Manhattan Project."
Framing the world. Maybe he's trying to block out all the dirty parts. Uh, good luck with that.
I'm saving up his influence points for cleaning once he gets enough, so poor Doc has to do some gardening. Fortunately there's only two bushes.
Time to talk to Rosemarie. Doc's buttering her up, I see. (Whatever gets you witchiness faster.)
Gratuitous post-nap underwear shot!!
Okay, yes, it's Victorian long-johns, leave me alone.
Stephan turns out to be a willing audience for Doc's chatter about Arts & Crafts. "Yes, I'd like to get into sewing myself."
I thought this was Stalker Professor (well, one of them -- there's another you can see in the background who visits regularly and rings the doorbell constantly), but happily it turned out to be someone I actually WANTED him to talk to.
Another nightly exam leads to another A+. Doc is officially a sophomore! I decide to tough out Temporis for a bit longer and get him a new bed with the money. He also gets a money tree and an energizer with his aspiration points. Now, to see if he can get one of the dormies to actually clean up. . . .
Oh, and I have some more names for the bin: Coach Yoosung Rossi and dormie Lakshmi Chi. Ye gods.
And happy birthday Christopher Lloyd! :D

Date: 2010-10-23 06:44 pm (UTC)I once influenced a Coach to bathe, and he walked into the women's shower room, then decided he couldn't walk back out because it was a women-only door. He died in there.
I see you've got the hacks to make FreeTime not the most annoying thing in the universe... good decision, that.
Love the fire with Doc completely oblivious.
Ever tried DATING the cheerleaders or mascots? They stonewall you every two or three interactions to do two cycles of that obnoxious chant.
Keep plugging away, this was great.

Date: 2010-10-24 12:42 am (UTC)LOL -- I suppose I should consider it lucky that didn't happen to Stephan there. I really do have to get Doc out of that dorm, I'd forgotten how crazy they make a person.
Yeah, the pop-up's preferable to having someone barge into the house/dorm/what have you. Though I may be missing some amusing photo ops with it.
Ye Gods, I actually haven't. (I've heard they're a bit buggy when it comes to that sort of thing.) Finding a mate at college suddenly seems like a bad idea, doesn't it? Between the crazy mascots and the stalker professors. . . .
Thanks~
