This document provides an overview of the activities and relationships of several Sims during their time at university. It summarizes: Poppy wins an heirship coin toss and has 3 children; she dates and falls for a slob named Samuel; Belle and Eric also attend university, where Belle meets and starts dating Troy while Eric dates Julie; the entire family spends time dancing, gaming, and socializing together on campus.

Love Lessons
2. Well, itâs old news now, but Poppy won heirship!
Well, the poll was a tie, actually, between Poppy and Belle, and I flipped a coin. It came
up heads and Poppy became our heiress!
It was a very tense way of deciding an heir, I assure you.
Poppy also rolled to have three children this generation, but letâs get university out of the
way first!
3. Poppy has to wait for her sisters and cousins to be old enough to join her, and there isnât
a whole lot to do.
So most of Poppyâs money ended up in the arcade machine.
4. Of course, there was a *little* bit of studying. Not much, just enough to keep Poppy in
her professorâs good books.
Though seeing as heâs a drama professor, he was easy to impress. They like everyone!
5. Also, the hula invasion continues. Now it has spread to dormies, and no one is safe.
6. Bored of the dorms, I sent Poppy Downtown.
I like to play mini-challenges with my heirs, and as Poppy is a Pleasure sim, I was going to
play a mini-challenge where she lives on community lots Downtown for a week. Only itâs
not possible now sheâs in university, so I figured out something elseâŠ
7. Poppy has to marry one of the Downtownies â a slob, or a vampire, or a waiter or a
waitress.
The slob, Samuel Cormier, just happened to be wandering by on Poppyâs first visit to the
city.
8. âOoh, this stinky guy is hot!â
âThis uni chick thinks Iâm hot! Neat!â
9. âYou know, youâd be even more attractive if you took a bath.â
âDonât try to change me, uni chick.â
âHow about we go out to dinner and get to know each other a little bit?â
âOkay. But donât make me wear shoes or fancy trousers.â
âDeal.â
10. âTable for two, please!â
âAre you sure, miss? Heâs not wearing shoesâŠand the stains on those clothesâŠâ
âWith comments like that, you wonât get a tip from me.â Samuel insisted.
âYou have money?â
âYes! I keep it in my sock!â
â...Keep your tip, sir.â
11. âWhat can I get for- Oh Wright, what is that SMELL?â
âI personally think itâs the space aliens. Bathing is a conspiracy.â
âYour date looks like a space alien and doesnât smell anywhere near as bad as you.â
âNo one in this diner tonight wants their tip, do they?â
13. Despite the fact she actually likes to take showers, Poppy actually gets on really well
Samuel, with two bolts!
And look, theyâre both messy! Itâs meant to be!
14. âHow cute are we in this picture? Seriously?â
âYouâd better have it. I donât have anywhere I can hang it.â
âWhere do you even live?â
âIn the moment, Poppy!â Samuel insisted.
âDork.â Poppy said, but she smiled.
15. Also, if you donât think this is the best ever photo booth picture, then youâre wrong.
Thereâs something oddly amazing about Poppyâs massive eyes in these pictures!
16. So the date ended up as a dream date, and Poppy had found herself a boyfriend. Iâm
quite pleased that it was the first man she stumbled across!
17. And for a guy who wanders around town in his pyjamas, he seems to have a fair bit of
cash â he left us a piano!
Poppyâs bank balance greatly appreciated the donation.
18. The next day, Poppyâs family is invited over, because she kept rolling wants for parties.
Specifically, sports parties.
Not one sim sat down in front of the TV that afternoon, so sports wasnât even involved!
19. Instead, there was this.
Jim doing the hula with his two biological daughters.
20. The hula invasion didnât stop there.
Plus it looks like theyâve broken into a musical number. And that Jazz just walked in on it.
21. After that, it was time for the next two members of generation three to join the madness
â Belle and her cousin, Eric Alioto!
22. By the way, the elf template works surprisingly well with the bug eyes. Eric turned out to
be quite handsome!
23. And, of course, Belle grew up gorgeous.
I think there might be something of Jazz in there â maybe the jaw? But thereâs certainly
no mistaking who her father is!
24. âLetâs congratulate each other on getting to college for three hours!â
âOkay, sounds like a plan!â
I ended up having to direct one of them away from the other, just to stop the non-stop
cycle of congratulations.
25. Inside, Eric found himself a girl he had two bolts for, Julie Scott.
Unfortunately, she wasnât into having her meal interrupted with flirting.
27. More than okay with it.
I really like the idea of these two together.
28. Belle and Eric are best friends and do everything together, including spreading the hula.
Itâs going to be around for generations to come, I just know it.
29. Eventually, Poppy dragged her sister and her cousin outside, as not much was happening
in the dorms.
âEw did you see that elf with the bug eyes?!â
âAgain, Poppy, why did we come outside?â
âBecause Belle needs a boyfriend! Thatâs what university is for!â
30. Itâs true, university is a time in the sims for playing matchmaker. So Belle went inside,
scoped the room, and found this guy.
Not who I would have picked, but hey, itâs her choice. They have two bolts. His name is
Troy Ngai.
31. And they get on very well. Though it was kind of awkward having Eric hanging around.
âBelle, can we go now? Iâm starting to regret wearing my pyjamas outside.â
32. And with that, another semester ended, with Poppy and Belle teaching Eric the custom
of hanging loose.
33. After that, the final wave of generation three arrived at university â Erin Alioto, Fern
Stone and Charlie Louie.
Now EVERYONE is at uni, hooray!
34. So this is what the lot looks like now. All of them will spend their uni years in the dorm,
which they fill to the brim â I thought Iâd picked a ten person dorm but apparently not.
Letâs hope six sims makes it interesting!
35. Of course, the first thing Fern does upon arrival is find the nearest video game. I will
probably have to get her a console so that she doesnât throw all of the familyâs money
into the arcade machine.
37. Eventually, I got bored of the dancing and whatnot, and had my sims do something
useful. Poppyâs learning how to arrange flowers so we can someday have snapdragons.
Iâve never used the snapdragons before.
38. Unfortunately, not everyone was so helpful. Fern continued to throw money away at the
arcade machine.
Iâm going to have to buy her a games console, I think.
40. âHey, youâre rather fun to look at. How about we go out for a drink sometime?â
âUh uh. No, thank you.â
Somehow I donât think this is the last time these two will meet.
41. âLook! Iâm behaving myself!â
Belle has danced to the point where she is glowing. That is a serious commitment to
dance!
42. And weâll leave the guys as they study for their exams.
See you next time, when the generation hopefully graduates!
