Time to Register for classes!

The UIUC campus is finished.



Well, me BUILDING on the university is finished. I just need to tweak a couple things, and it will be ready for the kids to go to school. here are the fronts of a couple buildings i finished. details like the backside or floor pics can be found on my flicker page.



Here you see the campus, Noyes, Lincoln, Impe, Foellinger & Bromley.

Now let me say, i've never been in bromley. so i have NO clue what it looks like inside, or what the rooms look like. and i've only been in Impe like once...which was for fashion show practice.

So none of these building have the exact interior as the original, just because that is basically impossible. and if you ask why there are so few floors, well, it would be impractical for my game to have a building with that many floors. i'd need more RAM for my computer cuz it would run hella slow. so the exterior looks as much like the original as i could make it. sweet. next up, we have the apartments i made. i'm pretty satisfied with them. :D



Just four... we have the ever-popular (maybe TOO popular) 808, 801b, 1010, & the Green Balconies. I do have the boardwalk apartments, but i'm still kinda fixing it...i can't remember what the windows look like, so i have to wing it. you can actually see it in the campus picture...upper lefthand corner. btw, i made schnucks as the neighborhood grocery store. you can see it in the simbana north pic, upper right hand corner. also in that pic, you can see my ghetto helene gateway across the street from ISR. hahahaha.

The apartments are set up VERY differently. They each have about 5 rooms, each room taking the space of where an apartment would be. Why? because i can't have 16 playable sims living in one building. at most 8, but i'm fine with around 5.

TAKING REQUESTS!
1. If you want your kid to live in a specific dorm then apartment building, please tell me. If you don't, they'll end up living where you did. If i didn't build your dorm/apartment, then i'll place them where they fit. All of our 1st borns will go to college 1st. if there's enough room (because i haven't calculated if there is), the 2nd borns can come, in alphabetical order. that's the only fair way :D. i know, i'm crazy. Available dorms & apartments:
ISR - 16 rooms, 8 playable
PAR - 12 rooms, 8 playable
Bromley - 8 rooms, all playable
808 - 5/6 rooms
801b - 5/6 rooms
1010 - 5/6 rooms
G. Balconies - 5/6 rooms
Boardwalk - 5/6 rooms

2. Do you want to pick your teens majors? here's a list:
Psychology - easiest career transition to a Paranormal career (new!)
Drama - easiest career transition to Show Business (new!)
Art - easiest career transition to be an Artist (new!)
Philosophy - easiest career transition to the Slacker field
Biology - easiest career transition to a Natural Scientist career (new!)
Economics - easiest career transition to a Business career
Literature - easiest career transition to be a Criminal
Mathematics - easiest career transition to a Natural Scientist career
History - easiest career transition to a Military Career
Physics - easiest career transition to be a Scientist
Poli Sci - easiest career transition to the Politics Career
Mixology - easiest career transition to be a Bartender (new!)

Just because they pic a major doesn't mean they can't work any job...it all has to do with what skills are required to graduate in a certain major and a career with similar skills needed. As long as a sim learns the skills needed, they can work any job. Also, for the 5 new careers, only sims that graduated from college can get those careers. too bad for our sims! booooo. i'd totally give my sim the paranormal career hehehe :D.
