The SSU Dorm Boys

The SSU Dorm Boys

Erik Swain, Jared Starchild, Jimmy Phoenix, and Ty Bubbler are living in the same dorm for their freshman year.  Jared and Ty are sort of friends, since they’re from the same town, but the other two are strangers. How will these guys get along with each other and the others in their dorm? 

Shh!  Nobody say anything.  It’s quite rare to see Melody Tinker playing with a pet brick.  If we let her know we’re watching, she might stop...

There was a computer in the study, the same ancient behemoth his grandfather had bought when Malcolm was in high school.  Malcolm sat down in the chair and pushed the power button.  The computer turned on with a loud “bong”. It felt like ages before it finally booted up.  Luckily his old high school user name and password still worked to log on. He managed to convince the computer to connect to the internet (he really was going to have to do some upgrades on this thing, or replace it, and get some good wifi in here) and logged into his online email account.  There was the message in his inbox, along with a few others from friends.  Malcolm clicked on the message to open it.

I have 300 followers.  I honestly don’t know what to say, or what to do to celebrate that milestone.  Is there anything you guys particularly want to see? Is there anything you want that I could write, or sims I could make? (I’m not a great sim maker, but I could try...) 

Thank you so much, to each and every one of you, for following me.  Thank you for following me through all my random absences and my short attention span.  I honestly did not expect this when I started this tumblr.  I started it to follow other people and somehow I got into sharing my own sims and my own stories and I love it.  Thank you so much!  I love you all!

Now that you’ve met all the families, it’s time to go over the rules for the whole neighborhood.  

One round equals three sim days.

Families who own businesses must visit the business at least once per round (more if the rules of their challenge demand it).

There are special days that all households must observe:

Sunday is Family Day.  Sims must do something with their families--an outing, a meal together, a party, etc. Sims who don’t have families can use this day to indulge their own wants and have some “me time”. 

Wednesday is Friend Day.  Sims should get together with friends, either at home or out on the town.  I’m hoping to use the groups system that came with Nightlife a bit more for this so that sims can get together with the same group of friends regularly. 

Friday is Date Night.  Couples should go on a date, either at home or at a community lot.  Sims not in relationships can use this night to look for love, or just find a way to enjoy themselves alone.

Challenge founders must marry townies or NPCs.  College students are encouraged to marry other playable students. 

Teens may move to college when they are three days from adulthood, unless their challenge rules state otherwise.

College rounds are two semesters long.

All college households have the same challenge:  get through college! During each round, all sims in the household need to (a) go to a community lot and (b) host a party.

College grads will move to Woodspell Springs, which is my favorite custom shopping district.  

I’m sure I’ll come up with more rules as time goes on, but this is enough to start with. For now, let’s get ready to jump into the stories!

Beautiful person award! Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing will happen, but it's sweet to know, someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out. ❤️

Thank you!  Right back at you, my friend. :D
