I randomly decided I wanted to try (again) to do a Legacy Challenge. The house I was currently working on was the one I could keep with, but as I wanted to try and get the pictures from the beginning, I chose to start over. And at that point, I had a "brilliant" idea.
Why not start my founder out in College?

Meet Catherine Balth. This little lady was originally created in the Sims 3, and based off of an original novel character who is really only referenced. I won't go into that, because this is a story about The Sims!
College was not a difficult choice for Catherine. Being that she had no family, and no background to speak of, she really had a dream of building the greatest life for herself that she could. This, of course, also meant that she wanted a large family. But for now, time to focus on her studies.
Seeing as her LTW was to become a Captain Hero, and Catherine had an ulterior motive of becoming an Ecological Guru, she decided to go with a Biology major.
Biology: the study of Life. Trees, Gazelles, Sims, the Smoothe Endoplasmic Reticulum - what makes them work? If it has cells, a biologist can study it and find out.
Unfortunately, they don't know a darn thing about robots.
Bio Major Goals:
Logic Lv. 5
Body/Cleaning/Mechanical Lv. 4
Creativity/Cleaning/Cooking Lv. 1
How would I know this? Previous experience, a pen, and a piece of paper...
With her room claimed and locked, and class not for another five hours, it was time to get some skill building in. Cooking, Mechanical, and Logic were her first term class goals, so no place better to start than at the top. Off to the Library!
...Which was conveniently up on the same floor as her room.
Who knew studying could be so interesting?
One skill down, two to go. May as well take a little break and meet the dormies.
Blondie boy, Ramin Chen.
Apparently a very short-lived conversation.
Kent London. Ew, a long 'do. Ponytail, short, or no-go only!
Amanda Lam. Somehow, I don't believe these new face templates are working right...
Nope, no friendly fireworks yet.
Lexie Ngla. Yay, someone likes Catherine!
At least they seem to be hitting it off.
Then, of course, the others...
The Cow, Makoto Hurt... wtf are you daydreaming about? >_>
Yay, the old man is here to yell Catherine into exercising.
Oh look, Makoto made the Cafeteria guy (Renauld Jeffress) cry...
...and then set the sprinkler off.
Llama Man, JJ Shankel.
Cheerleader, Maura Despret... who do they think they are, Superman?
Nice face...
Wow, he left without yelling at anyone.
Met Professors Alon Welsh, Cathy Sims, and Hayden Leong. How one class has three teachers is beyond me.
How rude! I send her off to some entertainment, and he interrupts to gross her out.
After a bit of TV, it's time to study again. And apparently her favorite hobby is Film & Literature... Yay.
First homework... Then more skill building, and off to bed.
..Dreaming about... Who the farg is that? o_O
Green cloud of doom... Dorm-mates are always so disgusting.
Her bed is too comfy... 4:31 a.m. and she's up to get ready for the day. And smell her dorm-mate.
Note: Walls between the kitchen and the dining area = bad. Dirty dish solution turns out to either be you, or a maid.
[]
Yay, more mess to clean up.
Finally some R&R! ...at the Chess table.
Oh yes... the trees...
Yay for rain.
Ahh, the joys of life.
Ouch.
For some reason, that stupid plant feeder always takes over current activity slots.
And now for some classroom remodeling... Don't know why I used the more expensive desk anyway. And the plus side is: Yay, paid bills!
Little friendly convo with a professor.
Doh. The Exo-devil got to her! Damned coaches. At least she needs the skill...
More friendly conversation~
Woot! A fight! Go Go... er... Don't really like either of them. Funny thing is, they were flirting earlier.
Yes... he then tried to flirt with Catherine.
And got yelled at.
A bit of late-night harvesting. Stupid trees. *hires gardener*
Walker-by number one! Catherine said a quick hi and bye to him. Still don't think the templates are working~
Second walker-by...that I noticed. Didn't catch her.
Yay for term papers in pajamas.
And gaming.
First time I've ever seen that message...
Off to the Final Exam.
Woot! Dean's List! Yep, College is boring.
Second Term goals:
Charisma, Body, Creativity; Five hours to class. Time to catch up on some sleep.
Give her a break! It's her first time playing...
Kent likes to dance... a lot.
9 hours to final exam, may as well get some social play time in.
This popped up after she headed to her exam. Whoops.
Damn cow! Leave the friggin sprinkler alone! (That's why I only put one in there...)
Time for bed.
And dancing dorm-mates. She had that look on her face for the whole time she danced...
And a little bit of student teaching! Which is actually just a fun way of working up Charisma. For some reason they just happened to go sit down at the same time.
Well. College is boring, but can also take up a whole lot of space with the day-to-day nonsense. From now on, I think I'll only do important or funny events.
Next post: Sophmore year!
