Todd ended up going to Foxbury, going to an advanced degree in Psychology. His goal is to max the education (professor) track. I'm sure Angela is thrilled about that....not.
I didn't take a shot spotlighting Todd's new look, but I gave him short hair again and made his clothing a little less punk-ish--he's out of his teenage punk phase now.
He dresses pretty casually. Nothing crazy. He's staying in the Foxbury dorms. Here's his new home for a while.
This is his roommate, Neelesh Meshram. I believe his major was also psychology, and he's a genius, so he and Todd get along well.
Sometimes he stands a little too close to Todd, but that's okay.
Oh, and the blonde guy is Nobuya Shimizu, a fine arts major. He and Todd became good friends very quickly. Nobuya has a habit of frequently bringing his boyfriends into the dorm. He a new one every few days. When he isn't with his boy toys, Nobuya can be found playing the guitar on the green.
Todd also met some robots (servos?) on campus. This one here is Mega Steel--one of Todd's two required non-human friends.
I was going to have Todd join the debate team, but that's a Britechester club, so he can't join! Bummer! So he joined the Brainiacs instead. Here he is at a study session at the library with dorm mate, good friend and fellow Braniacs member Siya Savalani.
The first semester was tough, but Todd aced all three of his classes for the semester-- A in one, and A+ in the other two! We're starting to get the hang of the school-leisure balance now. He ended up visiting the Humor and Hijinks festival on a free night, and look who he ran into!
And look! There's our sweet little Jess, aged up to a teenager! And her hair is short and straight again.
Oh well. But she's a beautiful girl. She has Gerard's hair, but she resembles her mother a lot in the face.
Look at this sly little grin. She's so cute! I miss her!
Thankfully, Todd gets to meet a LOT of young adult women in college. So Todd invited a few future spouse candidates to the Sunny Side Up diner for brunch. (Oh, and I guess Nobuya felt like he had to come along.)
First we have Lilliana Starks. To be honest, she kind of bores me, but I brought her along. She lives in our dorm, yet for some reason I can't ask her what her major is, and I haven't already unlocked it. Anyway, her traits are Child of the Ocean, Loner, and Materialistic. Meh.
We also brought along our friend Siya. I've had my eye on here. She's pursuing a major in economics. Sadly, it turns out she has the evil trait, and though we could work around it easily, it doesn't feel right setting up good Todd with evil Siya. Perhaps they're better as friends.
And lastly we have Chantel Doty. She's the best out of these three, but I'm not totally sold on her. She's a Britechester student studying biology, and she's ambitious, neat, and vegetarian. Pretty nice traits. She has a cute face and pretty red hair, but she looks familiar...
...Ah, I know why. Because she looks exactly like Leo's wife Cassandra from my Immortal dynasty. Oh well, there a plenty more girls to meet.
Wait, who is that across the room?
It's the Asbestos family again! I'm getting the feeling that they're following us.
Anyway, back to the wife hunt. This is Meilani Kahananui. She's pretty cool--I forget what her major is. Other than having the mean trait, she's alright.
But she does this weird thing where she stands in the stall with Todd while he's using the toilet, so I'm going to have to pass.
Well hold on, who is this? This is Elisa Lackey. She and Todd were quick friends. She's one of the dorm mates' girlfriend, but I'm not sure which. I'm not too concerned about that though. If the other people in the dorm go through partners as quickly as Nobuya does, then we have nothing to worry about.
By the way, as you can see, the freshman fifteen hit Todd pretty hard LOL. He had a slimming potion shortly after, because he has managed to accumulate 10,000 satisfaction points since joining uni. He also had a potion of youth around this time. I was hoping aging might pause while a sim was attending university, although I guess they age during vacations and all too, so it makes sense.
Todd invites Elisa to hang out at the commons a few days later, though she isn't a student. As I suspected, she's single now! But not for long--she and Todd are boyfriend and girlfriend by the end of the night.
I don't have a nice way to transition to these photos, but I really needed to include them. Todd met Lobster Larry during an event at the commons--who is actually Zackery Dorsey under the mask. Todd's been dedicated to his studies, he has to relax sometimes!
Todd's time at Foxbury came to an end eventually--with an A+ GPA! Awesome!! The night before graduation, it's time to celebrate! Todd calls his family, Elisa, and whole bunch of classmates to Narwhal Arms in Windenburg for an Incognito Party. It was at that moment I realized that Todd spent 4 weeks in university and I hadn't yet thrown a single one of his required parties. Grr!! Well, at least this party was great. Todd and Jess both dressed up as maids.
And it turns out that Todd's parents have finally aged up to elders.
Here's Angela in her mad scientist costume.
And Gerard as a...grim reaper, I think?
Elisa just couldn't handle Todd in that male maid costume. They gave the woohoo closet a quick visit during the party.
It's graduation day! This calls for the simlish version of "School's Out!"
We did it! Todd graduated with a distinguished degree in psychology with honors.
Todd invited Elisa back to his dorm while he gathered his things and prepared to leave. He had something important to give her.
(Please ignore the nude man standing outside--he felt the need to shower in the rain, and just stayed out there naked for hours afterwards. He was out there when Todd left earlier for the graduation ceremony.)
Elisa accepts!
Shortly after, Todd moves out of the dorms and into Newcrest, on to the Rippling Flats lot. He actually made some money during university, so he had slightly more to work with than Gerard did when preparing his new home. It's still pretty sparse, but better than his father's first living situation.
Okay, we need some income. Todd joins the education career, and thanks to his degree he is immediately accepted into level 8 of the professor track as an adjunct professor! Awesome!
Todd is eager really get his life started after spending so much time at university. He invites Elisa over and asks her to move in, and she accepts, bringing an extra $20k with her. Nice! We'll clean up our little house with that money, but before long I hope to tear it all down and build a brand new one.
Thanks for reading! <3
