TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week Six, Meanwhile on Campus...

     Zachariah is a strange romancer.  He seems to have picked Antoinette, which don't get me wrong, I'm very happy about!  They only have two bolts, she's a knowledge sim, and his fawning on her makes me very, very suspicious.  Right away upon landing in their new "dorm", or private residence hall, he swooped her up and declared her to be his.  He does move fast.  Couldn't even be bothered to move off the sidewalk first. 

     I'm sure most of the people reading this are familiar with me and my playstyle.  When it comes to houses and dorms I have this "Go big or go home" trend.  Listen.  I like rooms to be built in odd number blocks so the ceiling lights can be hung in the middle of the room with no crazy cheats.  I also dislike pathing problems.  So .. I build big.  I build roomy.  Here's Archer Hall-

    The outside needs some more work but for it being brand spanking new, I think it's an excellent start.  It has 8 bedrooms (each 5x5 so the ceiling lights are OCD approved) and plenty of room downstairs and outside for all the extras the current residents and generations to come will desire.

     It was very odd to see my Antoinette, a immigrant from the old Legacy hood, without ANY skills.  Cassie also was totally lacking in skills.  Man, oh man.  Better get cracking on those books, girls.  As Zach has at least 8 points in each skill, this left him to tend to the basics of playing house.  He's not so good at it..

    At least every other day, I pop in one or two of his family members to visit and it's not our fault if they are so easily influenced to help out around the place!  Zayna is such a good little sister!  Oops, sorry Amaris.  Didn't realize the other stall was occupied!  Zing!

   I've been checking out some of the walkbys and our paperboy for potential mates for the girls.  This guy here is Anthony and he's kinda cute, in a dorky way.  I wonder if Zamaris would be interested...

     Meanwhile.. Zach displeased me.  You see him trying to hide it with his good boy actions but he secretly wants to fall in love with Cassie.  Not cool!  Not going to happen!  He doesn't act on it, and doesn't stalk her like he did as a teen when he was smooching on Raven but secretly pining for Antoinette.  So I'm just going to say that I'm watching you Zach... you keep it under wraps and keep the house drama-free.  

    Cassie does look pretty lonely there, doesn't she?  I decided she needed her own circle of friends.  So she greeted Kayla Fancey (another immigrant) and we used the crystal ball to find her a love interest.  His name is Brandon and he's not much to look at but he seems to be a really great guy and gets along with Zach and Antoinette also.  Cassie seems to like him, so whatever makes her happy.  

     Since it seems to be working out with Zachariah and Antoinette (their kids will need much shorter names), I made sure she spent some time with his family.  She likes sports and loves to play football with Zane.  Amaris is happy to do quieter activities with her and the girls exchange a lot of jokes.

     Mostly thought, University life has been pretty dull and boring.  Antoinette sneaks away for some quiet time.  Since she wants to be a dancer she got to buy a ballet bar with some of her scholarship money and she works out every morning on it.  

    I'm trying to push Zach's tinkering interest since he doesn't have much to do other than go to class and do a few assignments.  So he got a train table to leave as his token to the house.  It's a pretty big hit with the visitors!

     And Cassie... well... being a pleasure sim, it can be hard to keep her happy.  What she really likes to do is freestyle.  For tips.  Her boy toy Brandon is usually pretty indulgent about throwing her a few coins.  She also has an easel and she likes to paint.  She's going to leave behind a few of her paintings when she graduates for her legacy to the house.  

     Someone made snowmen when I wasn't looking but I don't think those will stick around for the future generations.  Look!  They are nice snowmen!!

     And here we've reached the end of their sophomore year so it's time to break and go back to the main house!  We have to get Zamaris ready to come join her brother.  Hopefully he remains a respectable young man while his lil' sis is there.  Other than wanting to fall in love with Cassie, he hasn't had much in the way of romancer wants.  I even got him a double bed.. only one side has been slept on.  What a strange romancer!
