Bancrofts Part Nine: The One with the Mass Drop-Out (Plus a Wedding)

I may have said this before, but I actually find the University aspect pretty boring. It just becomes this cycle of eat, sleep, go to class, study that is repetitive and boring. There are so many Bancroft kids that it's hard to keep up. 

So, with this in mind, I instigated a mass drop-out. 

I decided to check in with the college-student Bancrofts. In the big house was Max, Mason, Martha, Matthew, Mark and Morgan. Max was close to graduating, so I decided to let him. Like Madison and Michael before him, he did this with Summa Cum Laude (GPA of 4.0.). 

This is Max working on a Term Paper, one of the three methods to boost your grade.

Once he'd finished his final exam, he used the phone to move back to Sapphire Springs.

The others completed their semester exams and decided to drop out, one by one. The exception was Mason, who had one semester left and wanted to see things through.

(This is Matthew).

In Sapphire Springs, I decided to move Max in with another family... and have that family move out, leaving Max with his own space. I decided to make things easy for Max and created a helpmeet in CAS to move in with him. This is Lily Matthews.

The bathroom is the best place to get hot and steamy. Incidentally, I haven't yet had a bathroom baby in either Sims 2 or 4... maybe it'll happen soon.

Best friends!

A thunderstorm struck. I managed to get a photo when the screen was completely white due to lightning.

They had to sleep separately that first evening, even though they were already in love at that point (things happen fast in Sims world).

Next morning! I told you things happened fast in Sims 2!

(OK, I might have used BoolProp to speed things up a little. Shoot me).

Max then had to go to work, so they held the wedding once he'd come home.

Madison and Michael decided to have a pillow fight. Also in the photo: Mary (Michael's wife) playing the piano to no audience and Max talking to Martin (possibly the sex talk?)

Max has a pillow fight with Martin. Lily's pooped and napping on the couch.

Max and Lily are currently on their honeymoon in Twikkii Island. 

There will eventually be ten Bancroft couples, which will be a bit much. So, to narrow things down, I'll primarily focus on the Bancroft daughters (Madison, Martha and Mackenzie). I'll check in with the others occasionally. I may have one of the kids move back in with Karen and Martin, to take over the house when those two eventually die.

You could think of it this way in regards to the drop outs.  SOTDR didn't prepare them for the structure required by university (I also think that if you don't like playing through university why bother, though the perks are nice).

That’s a good explanation. So maybe the older kids were able to hack it because they’re more hard-working (the sons because they wanted a proper job and college could help, and Madison because that’s just her personality) but the others just didn’t have the same mindset and couldn’t see any benefits.

      Not a fundie- but the other day a Michigan state rep tweeted a picture of a couple buses leaving the Detroit airport, wondering where the “illegal invaders” were being bussed to.

      The “illegal invaders” were the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, who had just arrived in Detroit for their regional semifinal matchup.

      Dude gets exposed and his response is basically, “STFU you communist.”

      He’s also an election denier who has predicted another civil war.

      Erica has two associations for me. One is Erika Shupe, and the other is that it was the name of the “Brown Owl” of my Brownie Guides group when I joined. Brown Owl is the traditional name given to the main leader of a Brownie unit here in the UK. I remember she always had her hair in a single long plait down her back.

      We use Brown Owl for the main leader in Canada too and Tawny Owl for second in command. 

      I am a Brown Owl! In Ireland, but was also a Tawny Owl in the UK. I love being Brown Owl and the whole story that goes with it.

      i think she announced it’d be Amaree,

      My guess was Arrow Canaan on the Baby Names Thread. Her boy names follow an ACC pattern & don't have cutesy spellings. Since there's not much with the aforementioned pattern, that's what lead me to my guess.

      I don’t think she announced it on her social media yet. I think she might’ve let it slip when ordering something with the baby’s name on it.

      Gotcha.  I don’t follow her but see reddit posts about her and couldn’t remember where I saw the name.

      If it is Amaree, it’s the first “non-noun as a name” name for awhile, right,  I can’t remember them all—anchor, armor, anthym, aynjel, are the four I remember that are other words.  Then andre, arissa (is is anissa?), anniston (i will never be convinced it’s not after jennifer anniston).  So I’m missing 3.   

      Anyway, lucky kid gets a normal name if it’s amaree
