La Fiesta Tech, Season 2 - part 2.
Here’s how I decorated LFT, by the way. Pretty messy and half-assed but I’m kinda happy with it!
Monica Bratford is entering her senior year, now. Her sisters tease her for still having her V-card, but she doesn’t see the big deal. Having a load of casual sex with frat boys, flirting with all the rock chicks on campus or getting engaged to her “one true love” don’t really appeal to her. She wants to make art, and make a difference in the world!
Jessie Pilferson’s pride was a little damaged when Mattew Hart turned her down, but if there’s one good way to get over a man, it’s to get under another! She spends most of her days having mindblowing woohoo with Gunnar Roque, eating pizza, skipping class, and jogging. Who cares if she ends up getting kicked out? You don’t need a degree to play soccer.
DJ Verse is too cool for this campus. She was hoping she’d be able to join some cool student band when she got here, but the Shifting Paradymes whole punk rock thing just seems dated to her. Zoe Zimmerman is hot, though, so there’s that.
Sarah Love has been described as “boring” by several of her sisters, but if “boring” means “perfectly happy with your life and having a nice time” then Sarah doesn’t see what’s so wrong with that. She’s top of her class, has several great friends, is expecting a proposal any day now… what could be better?
Sorority life! I put some fun skill objects around so they I can mostly free-range without them all failing. I think of these girls as a bit of an alternative Greek to the more stereotypical Tri-Var sorority.
Monica and Sarah’s friendship amuses me. They’re friends, but every so often Monica will start arguing with her for no reason. I like to think she’s preaching about Sarah’s unethical shopping habits.
I don’t remember if I’ve posted pictures of it before, but I just love the interior of Johnny and Ophelia’s place. It’s amazing how much more pumped I am to play a household when it has funky wallpaper.
I’m laughing my ass off because Johnny and Ophelia sat down on the sofa for some ACR action but it timed out and this popped up.
“… so what’s with the professor in our bedroom.”
“Oh, Professor Benson’s just finishing up my term paper for me.”
“Your professor is writing your term paper for you?”
“What can I say, Phi? I’m an influential guy.”
Johnny and Ophelia love having a little home of their own. It’s the perfect place to have friends over, no spooky ghosts or nosy parents! And when the house is finally empty, their time alone together is magical.
“Look, while I love that you want to be close to me, I’m not sure that’s the best place to be doing your assignment?”
Way to go, Johnny! He’s been unfaithful in some of my previous playthroughs, but this iteration of him is about as staunchly loyal as they get.
I was cheering until I noticed it was just a friendly hug interaction! Cold, Johnny.
Sick of the dorms, William decided to move into the home of Francis Worthington. The two of them are very much cut from the same cloth, and it only made sense! William does not come from a wealthy family himself, but the Worthingtons are exactly the kind of family he wants to be, he he hopes to learn a lot from him.
Francis has known he was gay for years, but his relationship with childhood friend Guy Wrightly is a closely-kept secret. Their families wouldn’t approve, and Guy is hoping to be mayor someday.
The Shifting Paradymes play their first gig! Here’s hoping they make some decent $$$$$$, since they’re flat broke.
“Hey, we made $300! Not too shabby.”
“Yeah, that’s not too bad. Though, you know, it’s not really about the money.”
“Speak for yourself! You don’t want your cut, then?”
“Of course I want my damn cut. How else am I going to pay for all these drinks?”
Jasmine’s the member of the band the most serious about music. When she graduates, she plans on pursuing it as a career. Heck, the main reason she came to university was to try a form a student band! Sometimes she wishes she could get the other two to focus on the music itself, too, instead of the partying, money, and woohoo.
(As you can see, I’ve been adding some hood deco to the uni! Since it’s by a big oasis in the desert, I’m adding a lot of plant life, and trying to make it more of a “university town”.)
Gunnar is getting on well with this dormie. She’s no Jessie Pilferson (who’s probably his sexual soulmate), but that “woohoo with 20 different sims” LTW isn’t gonna fufill itself!
Noticed this going on in the background. Apparently Sandy’s on the rebound, and has also put on a bit of weight?
Gunnar goes on a date with Crystal Vu immediately afterwards, but keeps rolling wants for the wrong girl! And he’s not the only one…
Is Crystal having second thought about friend-zoning Lazlo? Watch out, his love life is already plenty complicated.
Meanwhile, Jasmine asks Zoe how she feels about committing to each other exclusively, and is met with a resounding “no” :(
This cracked me up, though! Obviously Zoe and Jas know the best way to work out.
All right, then! Gunnar is having the weirdest, sleaziest night.
The weirdness isn’t stopping anytime soon, either.
“Your husband dumped you just because you had someone else’s baby? That’s rough.”
Val’s not quite sure what the appropriate thing to do here is, and quickly decides to get outta there and leave those crazy kids to it.
“Catch you later, Sandy! I’ll tell Rhett you said hi.”
Three women in one night? What the hell, Gunnar.
Gunnar has really good chemistry with almost everyone he meets, even without the romance sims perks????
He gets one more flirt in for good measure before finally calling it a night. He makes sure to get Nina’s number, though.
“Man, I can’t believe this shit. You only had your very first woohoo with Jessie a couple of weeks ago, and now you’ve morphed into a total sleazeball.”
“Hey, indoor voice! I don’t want the cute girl in the hat hearing your lies and slander.”
Jasmine can not BELIEVE the nerve of this fucker, “forgetting” his guitar then running off to go flirt with some groupie. Just awful.
Gunnar is, as you can see, not too bothered with failing. He’s succeeding with flying colours in all the ways that count.
“Sweet pinball set, dude! Where’d you find the money for this when you’re failing all your classes?”
“Dating rich townies, my friend.”
“Damn, I wish I was cute enough to be some woman’s sugar baby.”
