Freshman Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First things first, let's get you two registered.

Psychology for Cassia, since it covers both Law and Education.

History for Camphor, because it covers Politics and Military.

Neither of them have class for several hours. Cassia of course wants to skill build, which means Camphor gets the "privilege" of writing his term paper first.

Cassia met her teachers today, Jan Lawson and William Tsang. This is here more for me than you. I find that eventually they know so many teachers that it's hard to remember which ones to suck up too!

I love Knowledge sims who WANT to write their term papers. I've had a few that never spun up any wants to skill, do assignments, or write their term papers. Err, actually it was NightRowan (prettier-than-real-life-sim-me).

Camphor's teachers are Gwen Jalowitz and Adrian Garth. Does it seem odd to you that they have the same two teachers all the way through university?

Camphor's preferred method of getting good grades is schmoozing the professors. He's pretty good at it too.

"Geez Sis, you can't go to class looking like that!"
"I know, but I spent practically all day yesterday and today studying to earn one measly cooking skill. This was so much easier at home."

Cassia, well aware of the fact that she's honor bound to marry Benjamin when she's finished college, has decided to make a lemonade out of lemons as they say.

I'd say it worked!

I'd say it REALLY worked!!

Cassia!!! Don't you think you're moving a little fast?
"You already told him I'd marry him, what difference does it make?"

Every morning we have the same routine; toilet, shower, slap dance.

This is how they spend the rest of the day.
It's like playing Caraway and Benjamin all over again.

At least Camphor found a romantic interest. Her name is Jasmine Mazza.

He also became Big Sim on Campus.
Of course, just to be difficult he hadn't spun up the want for it.

Camphor got his first kiss too!

Sophomore Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to solve the problem of Renee and Amar at least. They've been sent to college and then townified. I also gave them back something resembling their teen outfits first, lol.

Cassia finally maxed out cleaning, leaving only creativity and cooking.

"Those are nice..... drool"

Cassia's usually a pretty sweet girl, but you DO NOT want to get into a snowball fight with her.

Cassia is building her cooking skill by stocking the fridge with lots of yummy leftovers!

Freshman Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like the evil snowman better anyway!

Digging for treasure! The only things is, while Pinstar has said digging is okay, can we keep the things we dig up if they're still restricted? Or rather, not just keep them in inventory but actually place them on the lot.

Cripes Camphor! The very first time I let you dig for treasure you hit a water main?

That we keep! And for now it can decorate our walls.
I'm actually kinda going with keeping maps, rocks, and treasure chests. I'll gift away all the stuff you can buy from the catalogue.

Finally!! That means she just needs to earn one cooking skill.

Booyeah!

Shiny!! I want one!!

Knowledge sims can be awful stupid sometimes...

Hooray Hoorah! All seven skills maxed. What am I going to do with her now?

Well, she she can't build any badges, I guess she'll have to work on her relationships.

"Mommy!!!!"

"Get out of here you stupid cow before I beat you into a bloody pulp!"

Camphor always leaves his term assignments till last minute and ends up having to do two or three of them in a row at 1 am.

Senior Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write some more novels Cassia! I've got plans for that cash.

What do you do with a super smart sim who has nothing left to learn? Have her teach others for extra cash of course!

Why are we raising extra money? Because I'm sick of seeing all the townies turned into frozen popsicles. Therefore, we add a third floor and a hot tub. It's guaranteed that if we invite them over and don't interact with them, they'll head straight for it. Cassia and Camphor really haven't been spending much cash, they pay out $1,200 to the mob once a semester, and the replace their fridge once per semester. That's it, no other cash spent by these two. Cassia tutors and sells novels to raise extra cash.

CASSIA!!! That's not your boyfriend! Get your hands off of him, I'm reserving him for future Knowledge sims who DON'T have an arranged marriage planned.

See what I mean?

Amanda Hart = Knowledge sim

Two maps down, one to go!

Cassia's preferred method of making friends is buying friendship. Not to mention, we need to get rid of all the "illegal" things she digs up while looking for maps.

Camphor you schmuck, you would find someone you find more attractive than Jasmine just as your about to graduate. Good Grief!

And so college ends. With such good grades both of them should find topping their apocalyptic jobs and their dreams jobs a snap, provided Caraway gets around to lifting Science sometime soon. Tune in next time to see how they grew up!

"Those are nice......" *drool*

I loved that line, so typical male. Even a sim will stop to take a look, ha ha.
