~old ladies know how to ROCK HARD
Okay, no news on my computer yet. So I decided I may as well do a Simupdate from Dad's. I'm not sure when my computer will get working again and whether or not I can get Sims 2 working on it ANYway, sooo.
Besides, I just picked up the college expansion! AND FUN AWAITS YOU.



I downloaded all my skins and spent like...hours just MAKING FAMILIES. Not playing or anything MAKING FAMILIES for god's sake. I was relieved and rather pleased ta find that my skins don't look nearly as fuzzy on this computer. Haha! Awesome.
I fergot I set Tsukiyo and Gekkani's clothes ta teenager. Once I made em, I remembered that teenagers can't live alone. So I had ta throw some adults in there somewhere, and voila! Devi and Tenna showed up. Then they had ta be RELATED ta da teens, so it ends up that Devi is Tsukiyo's mom and Tenna is Gekkani's mom. This is da weirdest melding of fandoms yet.
Tsukiyo looks real nice. Seriously.

Hahaha, I haven't played with teens enough. You can give noogies! I didn't know that. Bwahahahaha. Minuses fer da recipient, pluses fer da giver. Snerk.

A billion sims came ta welcome da D. family ta da neighborhood. Aaaagh

Red Hands is seriously one of da most fun games yer Sims can play.

Hey, it's Scri's crazy girlfriend! I'll always think of her that way, even tho Scri doesn't exist on this computer. I fear fer Tsukiyo's safety.

Aheheh.

Not getting along, I'm afraid!

Tho this is probably why.

Don't worry, eventually they did become best friends. AS IT SHOULD BE.

Surprisingly, no one cheated!

Tenna's another one of those rare Sims that talks about themselves in casual conversation. I AM NOT SURPRISED.

BURN BURN BURN THE FOOD BURN

Who can resist thinking of Tenna?

Gekkani actually enjoys dancing. Who saw that coming?

Tsukiyo's always tryin ta get people ta dance with her. She's usually rebuffed tho.

Devi's the CENTER OF ATTENTION

Teenagers have a lot of different types of socials and different ways of doing those socials. Here, Gekkani admires Tsukiyo, but he does it in this kind of sheepish awkward teenboy way. Hee hee. When Tsukiyo looked flattered, he pumped his arms in a kind of "Yessss" motion.

WOAH somethin's wrong here.

I made all da other families, but I ended up only moving in two, Devi's family and M-2 Specimens (later). However, even tho Teishi had no house, he was still able ta come home with Gekkani after school. This made things difficult tho, since he didn't have a phone so I could call him over.
Teishi looks so pathetic. Aww. The scars on his arms need a bit of tweaking tho, I've noticed. Hmm. I can do that later.

I may hafta make Teishi his shirt. Somethin about puttin him in a tank top seems strangely mean.

Here, Teishi admires Gekkani. It was way too cute. The kind of shy thing works so well with Teishi.

PULL BACK
Haha, there's the "Yessss" motion I mentioned.

Yes I took a lot of screenshots of this. Shut up.

I think it's adorable. Screw you.
Woah, I never even thought about Gekkani/Teishi until now. Man that'd be a weird pairing.

Tsukiyo's smiling. She don't care.

Teishi's outgoingness is as low as possible. This means that when he dances, he barely moves and looks around all shylike to make sure no one's watching him. IT'S SO TEISHI AAAAGH

Aww. Teishi doesn't know how ta respond ta bein asked ta dance.

Here Devi's helped Gekkani with his homework. I didn't realize that since I turned aging off, their grades will never improve. Woops.

I made da Denka family again when I was in a hurry, therefore Drak and Dowasure kind of suffered as a result. They aren't exactly how I planned since I mostly grabbed a preset and saved before running off, but here's Drak watching everyone else get down. Somethin off about him. I may hafta tweak the clothes or something for him.

Sims dance like such dorks. I love it.

I can't remember what he was doing here. Maybe teens have a different way of looking in a mirror then adults.

::whistles::

::COUGH:: MOVING ON


Da next family I moved in was da M-2 Specimen family, regardless of da fact that only two of em are actually M-2s. Basically I wanted ta check out how these skins looked like in application, and they were definitely some of my more skinned up Sims.
Kame is almost luminescent. I had no idea her white was THAT strong. Her eyes look veeery creepy. Seriously. They aren't blurred at all.

Michelle and Gabriella got along quite well, which is ta be expected I suppose. I set Cyrus and Kame as siblings, cause da idea of them together scares me. Altho, da idea of Cyrus with Mich or Gab is ALSO rather frightening, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, as ya shall see.

Cyrus does NOT get along with Michelle and Gabriella. In fact, he doesn't get along with anyone. Not even Kame. HAHA how appropriate. At least with Kame he's at around thirty or fourty. Mich and Gab are constantly teetering on the negative side.

I have a feeling that Kame is talking about eating someone.

So I let them run around fer a bit. Four adult Sims is pretty hard work, so I let them do what they want mostly. Da first thing they did on da first day was SET THE PLACE ON FIRE. And of course, it so happened that ALL OF THEIR FEARS INVOLVED FIRE. Immediately -2000 all around, as you can see.
I manage ta get it under control and I'm working on getting everyone out of the red when...

FIRE NUMBER TWO BEGINS. IMMEDIATELY all my work is gone as Fire is AGAIN A FEAR, and all of them go so far into the red they all start going insane.

What the heck is burning here?

I think Sims go crazy in different ways according ta their aspirations. All of da Sims in this house are knowledge aspiration, so they pull out a volleyball and "learn" from it. Da action is called "learn from Prof. von Ball" which made me laugh way harder then I should have. I need ta get some Sims of different aspirations tagether and drive them all insane ta see what happens.
Anyway, everyone was going insane at this point, some more then others.

Hahahaa, you should have heard him screaming.

This amuses me so much. Anyway, adding this ta da stress of the SECOND FIRE IN SO MANY HOURS, Michelle and Gabriella both completely lost their marbles.

And lo and behold, Dr. Wright came down! The therapist, hahaha. He has a hilarious voice.

He hypnotized Michelle back to normal, and I was able ta repair da damage from there.

"Hold on, Demon entering me."

It took me a LONG time ta get them out of the red and back ta normal. Cyrus fer some reason was da hardest. All of his wants were impossible fer me ta get. He wanted a telescope I couldn't afford, ta MAX OUT A SKILL, and ta reach da top of da science career. I was able ta get him back through minor wants like eating cereal, but he took da longest.
Teehee. Cyrus dancing.

I...think that's a plant.

Hahaha, Kame became a nurse. AHAHAHAHA

I made a bad decision and Michelle got canned as a result. Females crying is really pathetic and sad. More so then with guys fer me, but then again, that's all subjective.

BELLA GOTH CAME TO MY HOUSE
I thought she got abducted by aliens or something. What is she doing here? Is this some kind of weird glitch? Anyone else ran into her? I guess that proves the rumor that she IS in Strangetown after all!

She actually became friends with Kame, weirdly enough.

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

They always wanna look through da telescope, and they are always spying on Vidcund. As a result, I'm pretty sure he hates this family.

Makes ya wonder WHY they always react like that when they spy on him. What exactly is Vidcund doing?

As usual, Vidcund ran around to push Cyrus around. Here he is not paying attention as Vidcund lectures him.

I don't think Bella has a house. That's so weird.

Ya'd think it'd be easy ta get Cyrus ta at least get along with his own family, but that's not da case. Just not very social, that boy!

Watch it turn out that Bella's a totally normal Sim ta meet up with but still. I think it's weird.

EXTREME CLOSEUP
Fer some reason I've fergotten how ta tilt da camera up and down. Consequently, weird angle.

Haha. She tried to write in her diary, but Cyrus walked by. She then obsessed over Cyrus leaving the room before getting up in a huff. Hahaha. What on earth could you write about anyway, Michelle?

Cyrus loves laughing at Michelle. I don't know why. He just loves doing it.

At this point, I got my hands on the College Expansion. WHEEHOO. I immediately checked ta see what teens would be willin ta make da jump. I decided ta go with one Sim this time ta check it out at first, and since I love Tsukiyo's skin so very much, I decided she'd be da one ta go.

Da cinematic fer a Sim goin ta college is really cute. It involved Tsukiyo and Devi (which I'll never get used to together) talking and discussing the new life ahead of Tsukiyo, then Tsukiyo growing up into a Young Adult with a GOD AWFUL DEFAULT OUTFIT OH JESUS CHRIST. Anyway, Devi started weeping and hugged Tsukiyo goodbye, and then while Tsukiyo waved from the steps of her dorm, some guy streaked on by. IT WAS AWESOME.
Anyway, this is Tsukiyo's tiny little dorm room.

Here's da dorm itself. It's huge and has a lot of Sims, which can lag down da computer a bit.

Here, Tsukiyo sets ta work claiming a door.

"Mine! All mine!"

I liked watching her hands move.

THERE'S PUNKS AT THIS COLLEGE

They now have arcade machines! Hee hee hee.

When I saw Streak as an option, I had to do it.

They look hilarious when they run around streaking. Seriously.

Wooooooooooooo

They also sometimes just stop and do this funny dance.

Along with this expansion are new socials! One new way ta play with Sims is pillow fight!

BAM

I need ta try this with guys. Girls giggle and laugh hysterically.

One of Tsukiyo's wants after she got ta college was that Gekkani come too. Aww. I called em over and invited em, and Gekkani initiated this new "hang out" social. They just sit and chat. I wonder if this only works on college campuses or only with teens? I'll hafta check it out.
I decided that Tsukiyo would be a psych major, cause PSYCH MAJOR FOEVAH ::thumps chest, peace sign::. It was a hard tossup between psych and drama tho. At any rate, her first class was called "Intro to Psychology: We are TOO a science!" and that cracked me right up.
She was also afraid of declaring a history major. I'm not sure why.
There are four new career paths too. Paranormal, Natural Science, Show Business, and Artist. I haven't really checked em out yet since most of my Sims have good jobs already.
Hahaha, best part? Okay, Majors lead to careers, right? There's a Literature Major. It leads to Slacker, Criminal, or Show Business, with heavy emphasis on Criminal. HAHA. Even better, Philosophy majors lead to Slacker, Culinary, or Paranormal, with a HEAVY emphasis on Slacker. THIS GAME IS GREAT.
Hee hee. "What are you going to do with a degree in philosophy?"

So the dorms make the computer here beep a lot, and I saw while browsing items some new things I wanted ta experiment with. Mainly, INSTRUMENTS. So I visited the M-2 family again, since they're doing pretty well for themselves.

Hahahaha, you ain't seein nothin, Kame.

I had enough money ta buy em a guitar straight off. Amusingly enough, after I got em a guitar, they wanted da other instruments. Figures. It only took me a few days ta get tagether enough cash ta set em up completely.

Cyrus actually tends ta play da bass more then guitar. Isn't that weird?

I'm just fascinated with stuff like this.

ARE! YOU! READY TO ROCK!

So Michelle and Gabriella suddenly wanted ta play Kicky Bag. I had no idea what that was. Lo and behold, they pull out a hackysack! Hahaha. No, they couldn't call it Hackysack. IT'S CALLED KICKY BAG NOW. They get pluses fer every successful pass.

I'm not sure if more then two people can play. Here's Cyrus watching and getting way too into it.

After they finished, Cyrus followed Gabriella around in hopes of playing Kicky Bag with her. Snerk.

Hahaha, there's something so wrong about Kame crying.

Cyrus worked a biiiit too hard.

Most people who come over ta their house immediately gravitate towards da instruments. Ya can practice or play fer tips, and they always play fer tips. They don't usually get any tho. Here, Kame doesn't show any tact and all and just boos this random girl.

Hahaha. This is the most messed up band ever. Hmm...I could technically do Crystal Poison and Hikaru no Ashita this way. I may do that just fer screenshots.

Hahahahahahahaaa

Devi and Michelle got along pretty well, actually. Weird.

Michelle actually has the most friends out of all of them I think.

Olive in the back there. I keep expecting her ta run up and steal the hacky sack and run away cackling.

Of course, Olive came in and immediately started pranking and insulting people. No surprise there! Pranks are a new social too. Ya can joybuzzer people, or throw water balloons. That kind of thing. At any rate, after she thoroughly annoyed everyone in da house, she sat down at da drums.
Apparently, Olive is a frigging DRUM VIRTUOSUO. Her creative skill must top da charts cause she rocked pretty hardcore.

So heck, I had da others join in.

Of them all, Michelle and Gabriella are da most creatively skilled. Cyrus is right behind them, and Kame's just terrible at it. As you'll see.

o|` Mister Bassman o|`

BEHIND THE BACK WHAMMY WOOO
Yes Gabriella's a cop. I just found that too hilarious ta pass up.

After I got them their instruments, it was all they thought about or wanted ta do.

Anyone surprised? Anyone?

Gekkani dropped by. His creative skill is terrible, so he sucked. But there's something fitting about him playing drums.

CHEESE IT IT'S THE FUZZ

WOW WHAT A SURPRISE.
This is their THIRD FIRE JESUS CHRIST. Thankfully I don't think any of them were afraid of fire at the time. Ya know, after their first two, whenever they went ta make food, they'd stand there and fret and worry about it. Hahaha, negative conditioning.

Gabriella didn't even notice the fire at all. Another new item I'm thankful in the college expansion is a frigging sprinkler system, which I installed immediately after this happened. YOU GUYS ARE THE MOST FIREPRONE SIMS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

After the fire, Cyrus sought Michelle out specifically to laugh at her about it. Thank you Cyrus.

I'm not sure why, but at some point Michelle began lecturing Kame about something. Kame didn't even react, she just stood there motionless. How appropriate!

I wanted a swingset. And yes, it's inside their house. WHY NOT.
They're getting along weirdly well here. It's kind of eerie.

After I got this swingset, they constantly wanted ta play on it. Well, at least it's inside.

NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE.
Michelle and Kame are getting along well. Will a love triangle form? Only time will tell.

Michelle's working the Culinary field cause I haven't had a SINGLE SIM who did it successfully. She was finally beginning to make money here, when I noticed something about her work outfit...

SHE'S WEARING FLAIR! HAHAHAHAHA

And now, movies!
I recorded a movie of Teishi and Gekkani dancing, cause that was so cute. Actually, this is a big conglomeration of Simmovies inta one, an idea I got from teh funkmeister indeed. Mostly it's Tsukiyo dancing (hahaha, who can resist watching her dance? It's like part of her entire being) but I did get a clip of Teishi dancing with Gekkani.
DANCE (1:42, 4.26mb) <-- right click, save as. If it doesn't work on yer computer I can't help you. I can give ya da movie, it's up to YOU TO MAKE IT WORK. :O
Band (2:24, 6.19mb) - I am obsessed with the instruments. Here's a bunch of clips of Cyrus and company rocking out and playing various songs together.
Randmousity (3:27, 8.92mb) - These are just random clips I picked up. Includes Michelle's visit with Dr. Wright with Gabriella screaming in the background, Kame talking to Prof. von Ball, Tsukiyo streaking and freestyling, pillow fights, water balloons, swings, arcade games, diaries, typing, and Vidcund freaking out.

AND NOW OFF TO PLAY MORE
The videos are also small. I DIDN'T KNOW. Future movies will be larger.
