Ambition: New Beginnings

Quest: Contents Genie Hero: Lady Scarlett Lady Scarlett heard that a man had come to Maroon Valley with a bunch of rare objects, and she was quite curious. Upon meeting the man, he gifted her a bottle, telling her to drink it in front of a mirror to make a genie appear. This genie granted her three wishes, but Lady Scarlett didn't realise how careful these wishes needed to be worded. After the second wish failed, she took the advice of one of her staff and wished she had never met the genie, only to have the merchant who gave her the bottle give her another one! Luckily, there was a well right there, so she threw in the genie bottle, hoping the wretched creature would never be heard from again.

Quest: The Fisherman's Challenge Hero: Shepherdess Maryweld Shepherdess Maryweld was a lovely young lady who had just been appointed as head of the Jacoban church by her queen, Lady Scarlett. Maryweld took her job very seriously, but when the Fisherman's Challenge was announced, she couldn't contain herself. Maryweld signed up and got some advice from two fishermen who had participated before. Sadly, she didn't have much luck in catching the biggest fish, so one of the fishermen told her of a lobster who took pity on really pathetic people, and that if she went fishing while feeling extremely down and unfocused, she might just catch this lobster and win the challenge. After many failed fishing attempts, the lobster appeared to Maryweld, and when she showed it to the Royal Advisor, he immediately declared she had won this challenge.

Quest: Goblins! Hero: Sir Stefan Multiple peasants had come under attack by goblins, so the queen sent Sir Stefan to check this problem out. He went to get the story directly from the victims, who all said they had been attacked out of nowhere. On the beach, where one of these attacks had taken place, Sir Stefan found a bunch of stuff left behind by the goblins. He took these items to Fireforge, where a smithmaster turned them into special armor and weapons for him. With this new Goblinsoul armor, Sir Stefan returned, ready to fight the beasts along with the victims, wishing them their revenge. When Sir Stefan arrived at the castle in his armor to let the queen know of his findings, a young Guildswoman by the name of Marianne took notice of him. It didn't take long for them to start courting, and when it was time for Sir Stefan to go into battle against the goblins, Marianna gave him a kiss for good luck. Sir Stefan won his battle, and was promoted to Knight-Captain of the guard.

Quest: Sacred Scrutiny Hero: Shepherdess Maryweld The Jacoban Inquisitors visited Maroon Valley, and found that their faith was being made a mockery of. Inquisitor Marta was quite unhappy with Shepherdess Maryweld about it, so she vowed to change things. Maryweld set out to convert more people to the faith, one of which she would fall madly in love with and start courting! But she also blessed the church with holy water and set out to find a lost relic that was very important to the Jacoban church. The man who had heckled her in front of Inquisitor Marta knew a little more about it, and it took quite a lot of sweet talking before he confessed his sins, converted to the Jacoban faith and gave her the relic that was in his possession: the skull of Davius. Inquisitor Marta was ecstatic about Maryweld's accomplishments, and after one last sermon, Maryweld had passed this surprise inspection.

Quest: Death of the Proxy Heroes: Under-Spy Tav, High Shepherdess Maryweld Maroon Valley had recently acquired a new ally: Yacothia, the land of the Jacoban faith. When the Jacoban Proxy died, Maroon Valley saw an opportunity. Maryweld left for Yacothia to gauge the current situation and came back with some handy information for Tav. Together, they intended to delay the elections for the next Proxy, to hopefully be able to elect someone from Maroon Valley. Tav went to Yacothia, disguised as one of their guardsmen, and disgraced the two candidates, making them absolutely ineligable for the position of the Proxy. Yacothia was forced to wait, and look to Maroon Valley for a possible new Proxy.

Quest: Heir to the Throne Hero: Queen Scarlett The Queen was getting quite anxious about getting older and having no heir to the throne in case the unlikely event of her passing should come sooner rather than later. She decided it was time to have a child, and thus sent out a letter to her citizens that she was looking for the father of her future child. The Queen went out to meet some men and picked three of them as her potential suitors. She tested them on their strength and fought them valiantly, which they quite disliked, actually. But they came around and understood her endeavors to find the perfect partner. Queen Scarlett chose Cuthbert the Serf as her lover, because she had become quite enamored by the man. Before they could make love, of course, they needed to get married, which they did at the Jacoban church. Afterwards, the Queen went in search for the perfect virtues for their child she'd need for their mating ritual: beauty, strength and faith. Once she had them all, she summoned her new husband, now Royal Consort Cuthbert, to the palace to perform this ritual... many, many times. Queen Scarlett became with child and eventually gave birth to a young princess by the name of Clarissa. The girl was a haggler, bloodthirsty and unkempt, but still Scarlett found her to be the perfect heir to the throne.

Quest: The Sinister Sorcerer Heroes: Adept Isabelle, Queen Scarlett the Great A brawl had broken out in the throne room, and Queen Scarlett the Great wouldn't stand for it. She summoned the troublemaker and demanded an explanation, but they said it had felt as if they weren't in control of their body! In town, more had happened and Adept Isabelle came to her Queen with the exact same story from other villagers. Isabelle scryed for answers and saw a vision of a powerful wizard, who was in control of an army of spirits that lurked not too far from Maroon Valley. He wished to take their kingdom, and was causing unrest by mind controlling their citizens. She immediately went to warn the Queen, and while the Queen got an army ready to fight this Spirit Army, Adept Isabelle tried to find out more about the mysterious necklace she had seen the wizard wearing in her vision. With it belonged an amulet that was rumored to be found in Maroon Valley. Searching the caves, the Queen found it, and Isabelle was able to enchant it, so that when the wizard got his hands on it, it would weaken him. After a battle against the Spirit Army that ended with the Queen and her troops retreating, the wizard, who they now knew as Malus the Vile, came for the amulet. Once he took it, he felt entirely weak, and Queen Scarlett the Great quickly finished him off with her sword. The Spirit Army dissolved and the citizens were saved from mind control. Maroon Valley was safe once again.

Quest: Meat Quest IV Hero: Shopkeeper Octavia The food in Maroon Valley was not of the greatest quality, if you cared for the way it tasted. There was a high demand for better tasting meat, and Shopkeeper Octavia set out to give the people just that. She heard that the meat being served at the palace was great and needed to know how to recreate this amazing taste for a lesser price. By bribing the servant, she got in contact with the Royal Meet Supplier and was actually given a sample by the kind woman. With another sample from a special shipment that had come in at the docks, there was only the matter of cheap meat left. Octavia ventured into the caves to find it, and after she had prepared it right, it tasted delicious. The townfolk were willing to pay as much as 30 gold simoles for it. Even the Queen herself loved it, and wanted to buy it all, but Octavia had made it for the people, and thus to the people this meat would be sold. The townspeople were ecstatic with their new delicious but cheap meat. During Octavia's endeavours, she ran into Squire Earnest and thought he was miraculously cute. She tried to sneak a kiss from the man, going even as far as asking him to court, but he absolutely refused to kiss her. The boy was left heartbroken after Octavia told him she'd find someone better, then.

Quest: Royal Review Hero: Queen Scarlett the Great Queen Scarlett the Great decided it was time to take a look for herself on how the kingdom was faring. She spoke to some of her citizens in the town square, fed the pit beast, tested the loyalty of the Constable and visited the Village Shoppe. She asked Shopkeeper Octavia for her opinion on the people, because who would know better how the land was doing than the people's favorite Merchant around? By the end of the day, Scarlett was very satisfied with Maroon Valley's progress, and glad of her citizens' loyalty.

Quest: The Mirthful Love Doctor Hero: Bloodletter Morgana All of a sudden, people were coming to Bloodletter Morgana's clinic less about being sick, and more about their love quarrels. One such patient, Lennard, had just had a bad breakup and was distraught over it, so Morgana told him he'd get over it eventually and took him to the sea to calm his mind. Then a man came to her with the problem that no one would kiss him a second time. He showed her how he kissed, and it was awful, so Morgana taught him how to kiss. Many, many, many... so many times in a row, until he got the hang of it. Then there was a woman who got a chastity belt stuck on her, which Morgana was able to get off with a special key, and then another woman wanted her husband to keep his eyes off other women, and thus received the chastity belt to threaten her husband with. Checking in with Lennard, he told Morgana a message in a bottle had been left on the beach, and she went in search of it. There was a secret message on it, so when the man she'd taught to kiss returned, he offered to encipher it for her in exchange for more advice. He didn't know how to make a child with his new wife, and asked for Morgana to show him after she explained how babies are made. That went a little too far for her, though, but he was still kind enough to decipher the message. It told her to go to the forest, where she found Lennard waiting for her to confess his love. She returned his feelings, even though she was already courting Poet Richard at the moment. All this talk of love had gotten her into a little dry spell after a particular dream, and so she had sought out love. How was she going to handle this??

I made a little T.S. Legacy Challenge. There are not too many details, so you can fill the rest of the story in however you like! If you play this, share it with #taylorswiftlegacychallenge2025

Camren has aged up into a toddler! She was completely bald, but Cate and Cassidy decided to give her a little wig, so she could fit in with the other toddlers and hopefully make some friends.

Now a scientist once again, it was time for Cate to get back into gardening. She hadn't had time for it while working at the hospital and all her old plants had died, so she got some new, fresh pots to start growing and make the cabin livelier than ever before.

Reach Level 10 in Science Skill, reach Level 10 in any Scientific, Medical, or Business Career

Cate Fan has always been a curious kid, so what better way to discover the secrets of the universe than through science? After years of working long hours after school as a teen, Cate has raised enough money to build herself her very own lab at home… well, a home in Hidden Springs, a town completely unknown to her. But the house was cheap! Who knows what other secrets of the universe hide in this new place?

On a quiet night at home, Zebedee sat with Taylor and read him a book in the living room.

After a few days of hard work on the farm, Snowflake Day came around and Thalia asked Zebedee to come over again. He helped her out on the farm a little and they made a snowman together, after which Thalia decided to ask him to stay. To move in with her. She hadn't thought he would, but he actually agreed!

Reach Level 10 of Street Art Skill, create 7 Masterpiece Murals

Here I am again, actually starting this challenge anew. I had already completed 4 lifetime wishes before, but I didn't really give those sims... a story. They were just there to finish their wish and that was all. No story surrounding them. No depth. It was boring. So, I'm trying again!

It was finally time for Tiffany to visit Lucky Palms. After some pondering and time apart, she decided she did want to come live with Teresa and see if they could work out for the future.

Claire held a bachelorette party at Diamonds & Drinks in town with her friends. Sadly, the place was quite empty, so they headed to the diner where Rachel works for a late dinner and Rachel even let them make their own milkshakes. Exhausted afterwards, they headed home around 1 in the morning and crashed into their beds.

Before the wedding officially started, Cid decided to make a snowman and made it look like the grim reaper! Everyone was quite impressed with his creation.

Claire and Derek got married at the Blossom Church Wedding Venue, under a gorgeous flower arch in front of their closest friends and family. They couldn't stop smiling as they read their vows to each other.

After the ceremony, Claire cut the wedding cake and everyone enjoyed a slice.

Cid played a little song on the piano for everyone to dance to.

Returning home, Claire and Derek retreated to their bedroom. They stayed up, not wanting their precious night to end, for as long as they could, until they inevitably fell asleep, snuggling under the covers, now officially a newlywed couple.

Now that the girls all wanted to settle down with their partners, they decided to sell the house and move into their own homes. Claire and Derek got a beautiful home with a lavish garden space, and they adopted a pup to fill the space! Meet little hyper Dutchess.

To celebrate their first night in their own house, Claire and Derek did some kissing...

Rachel and Cid had moved into the house right next door to Claire and Derek's, and Rachel was absolutely in love with the kitchen it came with. She immediately started cooking once they were settled in.

Claire discovered she was pregnant and immediately went to share the happy news with her husband. Despite the fact that Derek didn't like children much, he was happy to start a family with her.

Claire met up with Rachel at Drinks at Diamondbacks. Rachel was feeling quite unwell, but was nevertheless ecstatic about Claire's good news that she was pregnant!

Arriving home from work, Derek discovered that their chipmunk had passed away during the day!

Claire and Derek held a gift giving party at their house and Rachel showed up with a little baby bump! How cute! Now Rachel and Claire were pregnant at the same time and their kids wouldn't be very far apart in age! Perhaps they could become friends?

In one of Claire's presents was a chess table, and she couldn't have been more excited. It was a beautiful thing that fit perfectly in their yard.

During the exchanging of gifts, Claire went into labor and Derek rushed her to the hospital as Rachel and Teresa made sure everyone left and the house was locked up. Early in the evening, Claire and Derek returned home with their baby girl, Mackenzie Khan.

As Derek went to work, Claire spent her days at home taking care of Mackenzie and their dog, Duchess, as well as her small indoor garden. She loved it so much, and the day that she had to return to work was looming over her head, so she decided to quit her job, at least until her little girl was old enough to stay home alone.

Derek washed little Mackenzie all by himself, and Mackenzie absolutely loved it! She kept on giggling, but when Derek picked her up, she sneezed.

Cid took Rachel out to the art gallery on their last date for a while, since the baby was coming soon. They highly critiqued all the art, then had some dinner at the diner where Rachel works (as it's obviously the place with the best food in town) and then they headed home. Right as they were kissing on the bed, Rachel went into labour!

They decided to have a home birth, and deep into the hours of the night, Elise Storbeck was born. As they were not yet married, they decided that it was best to give the baby Rachel's surname for the time being.

Cid was ecstatic to be a father and played with his little one the second she woke up from her slumber.

Tiffany and Teresa were expecting a little baby as well. They had gone to the hospital and got Tiffany pregnant in a way that the baby would hopefully have both of their DNA. While Teresa was at work, Tiffany visited Claire at home to meet Mackenzie.

The stadium asked any employees if they were willing to give lessons in Martial Arts to the residents of Lucky Palms. The town had been getting many requests since a number of break-ins in town. None of the employees knew any martial arts, but Teresa was willing to go and learn, so her employers sent her on a 3-day retreat to China to practice martial arts at the Academy, and learn enough to be able to teach the town.

Teresa was insanely happily when she reached her first belt. Her trainer showed her a classic pose to do for a picture she could send home to her friends.

On her second day, Teresa spent her morning by heading into town and buying some souvenirs for her friends. She bought a recipe book for Stir-Fry for Rachel and a novel for Claire.

At the Academy, one of the students offered to teach Teresa a famous Chinese song: The Love of Xing Lo. The pronunciation of the words was a bit tough for her at first, but eventually she got the hang of it.

The old man from that taught her a song called and asked if Teresa would like to spar with one of his friends. Of course she said yes and headed over to the man's home. Despite her awesome new skill, she was no match for him and lost 2-0.

Back training at the Academy on her final day, Teresa accidentally got hit in the phase by the training piece.

Once it was time to head back home to Lucky Palms, Teresa had gone through four different belts and gotten quite the hang of this whole Martial Arts thing. She certainly felt ready to start teaching the people of Lucky Palms!

The squirrel that Teresa had found at university had gotten a nice spot in their home and, as it slept peacefully, Rachel gave it some new food for the morning.

The girls headed out to the Summer Festival and Teresa was so damn good at skating, she dared to skate backwards! And she didn't even fall!

Rachel and Cid participated in the Hot Dog Eating Contest. Neither of them won, sadly, but at least didn't need to have dinner anymore once they got home.

Rachel convinced Teresa, Claire and Cid to join her in a water balloon fight. Claire hit Cid straight in the face, and luckily he could laugh it off.

Despite being full from the pile of hot dogs he ate not too long ago, Cid enjoyed a snow cone. Of course he made a blue one...

Back home, Teresa pulled out the presents she had for Rachel and Claire. They were delighted with their thoughtful gifts and couldn't wait to dig into their new books.

Before work, Teresa decided to do some push ups and reached level 10 of the Athletic skill! Wow! Now she could arrive to work not only with a Martial Arts skill, but also as a master of the Athletic skill. That might just be a gigantic raise for Teresa already.

A tiny little baby gnome appeared in the backyard. Could the university gnomes have had a little baby????

Claire got promoted to Trauma Surgeon and returned home in an awesome new uniform. Feeling brave, she invited over the lowest ranked chess opponent, Mariana Matlapin, in the hopes to climb the ladder and become the highest ranked chess player of Lucky Palms. Sadly, Claire lost and joined the ladder at the very, very bottom.

Claire went out to the library and suddenly heard a woman yelling for help. She was feeling extremely nauseous and was in pain, so Claire whipped out her medical equipment from her bag and was able to help the woman, giving her a pill to quiet the pain.

Teresa won her first game of the season on the Lucky Palms team and celebrated by having a little meditation session at home.

Derek finally arrived in Lucky Palms and Claire couldn't be happier to see him. He pulled her into a hug and spun around to kiss her in a dip. It was so romantic, Claire swooned about it for the rest of the day.

Claire and Derek went on a date on the town: first, they went fishing at the beach, but once it started raining they decided to check out the new Performing Arts studio that had opened in town. They tried out a quick ballet class, and they quite enjoyed it.

Claire had to head off to work at the hospital, so Derek tried out her fancy computer to write on. Like Cid, he also had a dream of becoming a star writer. When he was looking for jobs in the town that would allow him to write, the computer malfunctioned! He had no idea what he had done wrong, but decided to take matters into his own hands and fix it up before Claire got home.

In the morning, while Claire slept in after a long work night, Derek decided to make her some waffles. Sadly, he horribly burnt them.

Cid and Rachel headed out to check out the wishing well in the center of town. Rachel decided to wish for happiness, but nothing happened.

Cid had gathered some pumpkins from the fall festival and Rachel and he carved them together to put in front of their door. Rachel made a silly little face, and Cid a ghost.

For some reason, Cid decided to kick over one of the graduation gnomes. And in front of his baby, even!

After a fun day at the festival with everyone, Derek decided to take Claire to a small park at the edge of town. It was a church, which had recently been converted into a wedding venue. He explained that this was the place he wanted to marry her and dropped down on one knee. Of course, Claire said she wanted to marry him too.

Meanwhile, Rachel, Teresa and Cid headed to Yolanda Shaw's costume party and Rachel and Teresa decided on a couple's costume. Cid wasn't too happy about it, and had to take this picture of them in his hotdog costume.

Derek noticed a statue of a crying angel behind the church. He took a good look at it and thought it was beautiful.

A repo-woman checking out the park on her way home from work suddenly started feeling ill. She called out for help and Claire rushed over to help her. She did some quick tests, and called an ambulance for the woman.

When Rachel got home in the late evening, she found Tammy Parker sleeping in her bed. She got out her megaphone and decided to wake the girl up rudely, forgetting for a moment that Claire was sleeping in the same room. Miraculously, Claire did not wake up.

Rachel seemed a bit down in the morning, so Claire decided to cheer her up with some wise words.

To feel better, Rachel decided to change her bedsheets. Instead, the bed folded in on her and she sat defeated at the edge, thinking about the mess that was her head currently.

Claire completely bodged an experiment in the science lab and got this green stench all over her. It smelled disgusting.

Claire convinced Teresa and Rachel to come play a racing game with her and the awkward tension between her best friends quickly disappeared, just as Claire had hoped.

Teresa was feeling a bit down about the whole thing, though, and decided to relieve some stress by working out in the middle of the night. She wasn't in love with Rachel, but somehow she couldn't stop thinking about her.

Rachel dyed her bright red hair in the middle of the night and woke up to bake some strawberry pancakes on the dirty ass stove for her friends to enjoy.

Tiffany asked Teresa to teach her some athletics, so Teresa got her on the bench press and worked her to the bone.

Derek came by and he and Claire played a short game of pool. He definitely won... one way or another.

After some back and forth texting and keeping in touch since their last meeting, Rachel ran into Cid again. She showed off the awesome Gizmo she had in her bag and Cid was ecstatic to try it out. They spent all afternoon until Rachel's next class chatting in the damp grass and reacquainting with one another.

Teresa bought a football and asked Tiffany to play some catch with her in the yard. Tiffany was not too great at it, but she learned.

After class, Rachel had the urge to make some wall murals and, knowing how incredibly bad it would be for her if she got caught doing it on any of the lecture halls, headed to the coffee house to spray some art on their walls.

Claire spent her time in between classes playing arcade games in the Union building. She and the guy next to her took their games incrediblt seriously.

Rachel made some quick drinks at the bar at the Union building. There wasn't any alcohol behind the bar, but luckily she had some in her backpack and secretly poored it in. She didn't offer any to the other students. That would just be wrong.

Despite the pouring rain, Claire enjoyed sometime at the Mind Melting machine, which she liked to call it. She was able to mind meld with everyone in the quad!

Tiffany and Teresa had been hanging out a lot lately, but Teresa was still caught by surprise when Tiffany asked her to kiss her. Of course, Teresa wouldn't say no to such a request.

At another party at the Frat house, Rachel pulled out her megaphone and held a speech about how love and relationships were all fake and horrible and that it was just a scam. She was apparently still deep in her feelings about the whole Richard thing, and then Teresa too...

Teresa convinced some of her roommates to play juice pong with her outside, as she needed to score some points with her fellow jocks. She got quite good, but she still had a lot more practice to go.

Rachel ran into Cid again and they started flirting a little bit, but when Rachel tried to take it a bit further, Cid turned her down once again. He was clearly into her, so what was the problem?? She knew that Cid was a bit of a loner, and thought maybe he was afraid not to be alone anymore..?

Before Rachel could ask him about it, though, her roommate Kriss Theed suddenly died. The girl hadn't eaten in days and simply collapsed on the quad.

After their final exams of the fourth term, Teresa took Tiffany out to the fields for a picnic breakfast. They played some catch and then it was suddenly time to head to the graduation ceremony!

All three girls graduated with A's: a perfect GPA, which was Claire's lifetime wish! Now, she had no idea what was in store for her, but her mind had been wandering towards a potential career in medicine?

Before it was time to head back home to Lucky Palms, the girls had a tiny dance party in their dorms. Once the truck rolled in front, their roommates waved them away and Teresa gave Tiffany a quick goodbye kiss.

Claire got a chess table and set it up in the backyard to work on her Logic skill. Now that she was a medical intern at the local hospital, she really needed to catch up on her skills.

Rachel dyed her hair back to her natural color upon returning home and decided to spray paint a mural onto her own bedroom wall. What better place than that? Maybe she should ask her friends if she could make some on the outside walls in the backyard and on the balcony...

On her first day at the hospital, Claire was tasked with vaccinating folk at the park. She did a great job, vaccinating 12 out of 13 people who'd signed up. One of the men decided the wait was too long for him and left.

Rachel invited Cid over to visit and took him all around Lucky Palms to discover the town. He told her all about being back home and how much he'd missed it. Rachel decided it was time to tell him what she truly felt for him, and that she was willing to fight for him, if only he'd let her. He confessed he quite liked her, too, but had always been afraid to be alone and thus would rather be alone to avoid the heartbreak, but when she promised not to break his heart, he believed her, and they started an official relationship.

Cid's lifetime wish was to be a famous writer, and Rachel vowed to help him fulfill his wish. He complained about not being taken seriously by publishers, so Rachel gave him a makeover that hopefully would make him look more mature. It was quite strange for him to be back on his natural hair color, but he liked it.

Rachel attended a party at her boss' house and made some new friends, one of which was Darby Butterfield, who, just like her boyfriend Cid, loved to write, but she wrote classical music.

Rachel decided to introduce herself to their new rebel roommate by shoving a megaphone in her face. Luckily, Jennifer found it hilarious.

Claire made an empanada out of some lettuce with the science station. It was absolutely delicious and the best meal she'd ever made.

When the science lab was deserted, Rachel snuck in and tagged the floor. She nevr got caught.

Teresa had called Bethany a bunch of times now, but she just hadn't been interested in coming over for a few days now. Carey, one of the Sorority roommates, noticed Teresa's somber mood and they got to chatting, which led to... more than just friends.

Feeling that she was done with Bethany and wanted to try something out with Carey, Teresa finally set up a meeting with Bethany and asked her if they could end whatever it was they had and simply be friends. Bethany was quite upset, as she was still madly in love with Teresa, but she hadn't communicated her feelings and eventually accepted that they had to part ways.

Claire messed with the huge computers and was able to connect to a Hive Mind, which allowed her to learn a skill much quicker, so she rushed to the science lab and got to work.

For a school project, Claire needed to perform an ink blot test on someone. She'd already done one as a joke on both her best friends, so she asked Derek. He invited her over to his university house and did a very good job at the test. After it was over, he started flirting and one thing led to another...

It was the day before their final exams of the term, but Derek managed to convince Claire to stay the night anyway.

At a party that same evening, this time Rachel was dared to make out with a random sim and she chose highly acclaimed rebel Jeffrey Dean.

After her makeout session with Jeffrey, Rachel ran into Richard outside. All juiced up, she leapt into his arm and gave him a kiss, confessing to her love for him. They had a woohoo in the shower and were promptly kicked out of the Fraternity house. Richard then took Rachel home and made sure she got to bed safely and that her alarm clock was on and she wouldn't sleep through her exams.

There was a party again the following evening to celebrate their exams being over. Rachel once again ran into Richard, who approached her and told her he felt just as much for her as she had confessed to feel for him the previous night. Then he officially asked her to be his girlfriend, and of course Rachel couldn't be happier.

The next morning, the girls got their report cards and all three finished the terms with an A grade!

Outside in the yard, Teresa found a squirrel. She caught it and made sure it safely got back home to Lucky Palms with them.

Teresa convinced Rachel to let her train her on the treadmill. Rachel wasn't too excited, but she fought through it. Her legs felt very sore afterwards.

During the break, the girls moved into a row of houses together in their hometown of Lucky Palms. Claire spent a lot of money on a cool new gaming setup.

Heading back to university, Derek came to visit the girls' new university house, where he used to stay previously. Sadly, Derek was unable to stay in the house due to a problem with a fellow roommate, who also had to leave the house.

Over the break, Rachel died her hair purple. She set up an easel in her and Teresa's new room quickly and started painting.

The girls attended the welcome event at the Union Building and Teresa decided to play some pool with Richard Randall, Rachel's boyfriend. She won fair and square, though Richard was a bit of a sore loser.

Rachel wandered into the lab and asked if she could use the strange goggles on the table. Claire explained how they worked and told her to go ahead. Rachel was transported into a fantasy world and she was ecstatic.

At the first party of the third term, Teresa ran into Tiffany Angles, one of her new university roommates, who looked a lot different from before. They got to chatting and Teresa asked her to dance, which Tiffany gladly obliged.

Claire and Derek had taken some cute pictures in the photobooth at the Union building, and Claire loved them so much that she hung them on her wall.

In between classes, Rachel and Claire had a snowball fight. Claire was a lot more agile than Rachel had expected and she was barely able to hit her.

In a drunken mood, Claire convinced Teresa to let her mind meld with her, but Claire already knew basically everything about her best friend, so it was absolutely no use.

Claire sat in an empty classroom during her tuesday morning class at 8 am. It was quite sad for the professor, who refused to dismiss class because only one student had shown up. Claire was miserable, too. The professor kept looking right at her.

When Richard showed up to the dorms in the evening, Rachel was furious at him. She'd heard that, over the break, he had cheated on her with Kyle Heilman! How dare he?! She broke up with him right then and there and sent him away.

Her professor had given Claire some special rocks to analyze as a reward for her hard work. She put the gorgeous gem on the table at home and got to work.

Teresa had given a Juice Kegger party, but Claire pulled Derek straight up to her bedroom instead.

Teresa had made a move on Tiffany, but was turned down, and Rachel was lonely and single, leading to Teresa and Rachel jokingly flirting with one another and accidentally taking it seriously. They were all alone on the couch in the hallway and started making out, which led to Rachel dragging Teresa down to their bedroom. When they woke up beside each other the next morning, they had a quickie in the shower before wishing each other luck for their exams, which they both passed with flying colors, despite the thought of how this development would affect their friend group.

On Claire's advice, Rachel and Teresa decided to go on a date to see what they felt for each other. They had a great time bowling, but more so as friends than girlfriends.

I built a row of houses for my University LP sims to live in once they graduate, so here it is!

Due to a lack of inspiration for all of my other saves, I decided to have a fresh start: deleted all my CC and saves and started downloading and creating everything new.

So, meet Claire Sworth, Rachel Storbeck and Teresa Summers (left to right). These three girls were always placed in groups together in school, since their names are right next to each other on the list in alphabetical order. Though entirely different, they became best friends and now they're off to university together!

Claire Sworth is a studious woman, who loves books and the world of science. She's, of course, enrolled in the Science & Medicine course. She dreams of one day being a famed scientist... and writing her own fiction novel.

Rachel Storbeck is rebellious and knows exactly what good art is. She's always loved bright colors and living her life however she likes it. She's enrolled into the Fine Arts course and has no clue what her future brings. She'll see.

And Teresa Summers is the most athletic girl in school, at least she used to be. Now there is a bunch of other athletes in her Phys. Ed classes and she's gonna have to work hard to keep up.

As soon as Rachel got her art kit, she made a lovely ground mural right in front of the Sorority house.

Claire was delighted to finally have some real science equipment to work with for once.

At the first party of the term, Teresa got dared to go dumpster diving, and, not wanting the others to think she was a loser, she accepted. They headed down to the supermarket and Teresa dove into the dumpster out back. It was disgusting.

Instead of heading to bed, Rachel decided to do some sketching while the rest of the house slept off Ashley's party, which no one outside of their own sorority attended.

Personally, I think Rachel looks adorable with her green backpack.

Claire had her first class in the Student Union building, and almost everyone but her was fast asleep as the professor spoke. Claire herself was a bit lost on the material too.

Rachel admired the statue out on the University Quad. She found it absolutely gorgeous and astounding that such small humans could built such a huge statue. Maybe one day she'd like to try it too?

Claire did some studying in the living room, reading the course book front to back.

At a bonfire party at one of the other university houses, Teresa met Ashley Corono and was quite impressed with her beauty and athleticisim.

Shortly after Teresa got home from the party, the Sorority got burgled. The burglar decided to go for a dive in their pool and the police were still unable to catch them... The Sorority was now a tv and computer shorter.

Teresa and Rachel ran into each other after class and had a quick little chat before Rachel ran to her next class and Teresa ran to her bed to catch up on some sleep.

Claire was very excited to try out the big machine in the middle of campus. She posed for a little picture, which a fellow student took with a drone.

Rachel was organizing a protest and handed out some flyers during class. Her classmates seemed mildly interested.

Rachel's protest was a great success, though! Many students showed up to protest against handcuffs and the quad was a loud screaming match of megaphones, with Rachel leading the chant and riling the crowd.

At the protest, having a little picnic, Teresa met Bethany Salisbury. They got to chatting and really hit it off. To continue their night together, Teresa invited Bethany to a party that evening.

Teresa did a kegstand with Bethany's help and later they shared a sweet kiss. After, they snuck into one of the bathrooms and had a woohoo in the shower.

In the late evening, Cid Serverus called and asked Rachel out on a date. She happily obliged and they watched the stars. Rachel's tummy was rumbling, so Cid took her to SimBurger and they enjoyed a nice meal together. Afterwards, she tried to kiss him, but he wasn't interested and turned her down. A bit disappointed, Rachel headed home in the late hours of the night.

Before her class, Claire decided to go fishing for once and she caught a few minnows!

Rachel and Claire played a match of rock, paper, scissors as they waited for Teresa to finally get out of bed that Saturday morning.

The girls went bowling and invited Bethany out along with them.

Rachel went flying after the ball and fell down onto the bowling alley! No matter the amount of pins she hit, she still got a Foul on the scoreboard. Claire definitely wasn't laughing...

After the bowling alley, Claire decided to check out the comic book store. Once it got dark, she walked home and ran into Derek Khan, who offered to walk her home. They had a nice chat and were certainly attracted to one another.

Hannah Germanotta decided to wake Claire up with a microphone in the early hours of the morning. Claire was quite upset and ran to the opposite bedroom, where Rachel and Teresa slept.

Rachel had climbed in the ranks of the Rebels and was now more respected than Hannah, and she wouldn't stand for anyone messing with her best friends. She tore into Hannah and got her dismissed from the Sorority.

At the coffee house, Claire ran into Derek, who now had a cute new hairstyle. She stumbled over her words though, and accidentally offended Derek, which caused him to leave.

At a party at the Fraternity house, Rachel was dared to woohoo with another sim. She made out with Miles Forthright, but he wasn't interested in a quicky afterwards.

So she walked up to the first guy she could find and asked if he was interested in a woohoo in the basement shower. Brian Petersen here accepted.

Cutie Teresa heading to her first class of the second semestre.

Clementine asked her little brother Lucius to play chess with her. He hesitantly accepted, and even though Clementine plays more often than he does, easily won their match.

Joel built some sandcastles in the standbox in the yard! He was extremely proud of his ceation.

Celeste talked it over with Stella for a while and they decided to adopt a dog from the shelter, which Celeste has wanted ever since she was young. They adopted little puppy Snowball and the whole family fell in love with her instantly.

At night, the family roasted some marshmallows around their fire pit while Snowball bounced around them.

One of the kids put dye in the downstairs shower and Stella's hair got dyed this... awful yellow. Which one of these kids did this???

Celeste played some tug of war with Snowball before work.

Now, what reason could Stella and Celeste have for heading up into the treehouse at night???

The leaves had fallen from the trees and the maid had made a pile in the front yard. As she returned from school, Clementine took the opportunity to play around with it.

The twins aged up into teenagers and the first thing Joel did was sign up for the Sports club. Joel got the Nurturing trait, and Lucius the Ambitious trait.

Celeste spent some time chatting with Joel.

Markus and Clementine did their homework together and Markus was very annoyed.

Sebastian grew up into an adult and graduated high school with honors. He gained the Kleptomaniac trait.

After Sebastian's graduation ceremony, Clementine went playing on the swing in front of the house, still in her beautiful formal dress.

The family decided it was time to move out of the city and chose Appaloosa Plains as their next destination. Before leaving, Celeste visited her sister to say goodbye.

In the new house, Lucius got his own room to do his little science experiments. His goal was to make his imaginary friend real!

Out in the backyard, next to the pond, a chessboard was set up for Clementine to practice for hourse in the sun.

Celeste and Stella enjoyed the first night in their new house with a steamy make-out session on their expensive new bed!

Markus' birthday came quick and he turned into a Frugal teen!

He didn't have to go to school just yet, so he grabbed the bass (that he was now finally big enough for) and started practicing.

After school had ended, Markus went into town to meet some fellow teens to invite to his awesome party, because his moms were away on a sudden vacation!

Joel's imaginary friend Jelly Bean was pestering him, so he asked it to leave him alone. Jelly Bean wasn't too happy with it, but accepted it nonetheless.

With their moms out of the house, Clementine and Joel decided to dress up and play pretend.

Markus didn't know that many people yet, but Maisy Miller and Benni Hennesey showed up to his party and they had a blast.

Markus and Benni took a liking to each other and headed outside to watch the stars, after which they shared a brief kiss!

Back from vacation and with the kids in school, Celeste enjoyed a quiet day with a self-made cocktail and a book in her new in home-libary.

Joel and Clementine threw a slumber party for their school friends together and Joel decided to tell them some scary ghosts stories! That didn't face little Dorothy Button at all, even though it might look like it a little bit.

Clementine stayed downstairs with Cornell Riffin and they had a pillow fight, which Clem definitely won.

The kids went to sleep at 9pm. Joel looked adorable in his little sleeping bag in the hallway <3

In the morning before school, Markus was bored and decided he could make some cocktails, just like his mom. He broke a few bottles.

With the kids at school, Celeste and Stella enjoyed the hot tub.

To celebrate Clementine's birthday, the family held a small barbecue.

Markus invited Benni over and asked her to be his girlfriend. Of course, she said yes.

Stella had sadly missed the barbecue, but she read Clementine a story before bed.

The next day, Clementine aged up into a teen and got the Angler trait.

Joel decided to play a little prank on his older brother and called him over to the treehouse. When he finally got Markus to wait under the window, he dumbed a bucket of water on him! Did this mean war?

Joel had an award ceremony for his scouting and the entire family came to attend him receiving his final badge.

To celebrate, the family went to the Summer Festival and the kids competed against each other in the hot dog eating contest, which Joel won!

Have at Least 13 Different Species of Perfect Fish in Fishbowls

I feel like I have not been very fair to my previous sims in giving them an actual, well... life. So, here we meet Summer Rankine, who, this time, does not have all the traits that will help her out in this adventure. No, no, I only gave her two. Her traits are Socially Awkward, Loves the Outdoors, Handy, Lucky and Angler. Now, I've also decided to have a little backstory for every sim I introduce, so here we have Summer, who has moved into the beautiful town of Hidden Springs for some quiet alone time. She's been bullied all her life, and she was done living in a town where she was unappreciated, so she left to a place where being different was nothing strange.

Summer moved into a handmade one-storage cottage that sits directly next to a small pond, where she immediately started fishing once she arrived. As she should. Sadly, she was not skilled enough to catch these fish and had to move to a pond a little but further up the mountain.

To make some friends in town, Summer went to the tavern. There weren't many sims there, so she had a drink and headed back home.

Near the pond, Summer found a snake. She caught and got it a pretty little aquarium to live in.

Summer found it only fitting to head to the summer festival. Even on Leisure Day, it was quite empty, so Summer gathered some flowers, had some onion rings and went home.

At home, she set up her own little garden. For now, she only grew tomatoes and salad.

Summer caught her first Perfect Goldfish and put it in the big aquarium in her home. Soon enough, she got it it's own, smaller fishbowl right in front of the television.

Summer bought some books to learn more about fishing and what bait to use. She read them in the park near the pond.

Summer is a handy sim, and, finally, the first appliance of the house broke, allowing her to fix it and gain the handiness skill easily. Right after, she used the toilet, which then broke, too.

By this point Summer had gathered a Perfect Rainbow Trout and Toad as well. Sadly, the rainbow trout died and she scooped it out of the aquarium. Later that day, she luckily found another perfect trout to put back in the aquarium.

The cold hit Hidden Springs and Summer moved to a bigger body of water that wouldn't freeze for another few days. Here she found her first Perfect Alley Catfish, raising her total to 4 out of 13 perfect species of fish in her aquarium.

Summer went out to Mick Master's Karaoke and took a liking to the proprietor, Marcela Jimenez. Marcela wasn't too impressed by Summer.

As it was pouring rain, Summer decided to go fishing at the spot by the lake right across the street. She found a bunch of new fish here and found three more perfect fish of a different species, making her total 7 out of 13 in just one day!

The rain stopped and Summer headed into town. She ran into Emmet Preston, who started up a conversation, wishing to know more about the new girl in town. He became her first real friend in town.

Winter hit and Summer decided it was time to hang up some festive lights. Of course, she chose the color green.

The snow didn't hold Summer back from fishing, especially because the view of the mountains from here was astonishing.

It was quite cold outside and Summer couldn't take being out there all day, so she went inside every now and then and worked on her handiness skill. The poor appliances in her home also needed a bit of an upgrade...

Summer hadn't spoken to anyone in a few days, except for a few texts messages exchanged with Emmet. She played with her pet snake Amara for a little bit, but it didn't satisfy her social needs.

Summer went out to the fishing spot across the street for the fourth day in a row and finally caught her thirteenth perfect fish: a swordfish. Elated, she went home and put it in the fishbowl.

And that was that! Summer was such a cutie, and I'm kind of sad that suddenly it all went so fast. I would've loved to see her get to know the townies a bit more and fall in love. We'll have to save it for another time.
