Educated teen run away challenge

I looked at Ali's calendar, and she has high school graduation next Sunday (week 6) from 6-11:30 pm in the auditorium. So, while Jacob was still there, I had her apply for university. And now it is just a waiting game until she gets her acceptance letter, and finds out what scholarships she will receive. I did have Jacob apply for university, too, and he did have a few scholarships he was eligible for as well. I didn't realize that as a pre-made sim, Jacob comes with an "A" in high school, so he also graduated with honors. Smart sim!

I read somewhere that at high school graduation, all the teens will be young adults, but I wonder if that's just for graduation, or if they actually stay that way afterwards. I was going to go into worldview and age them all up, but if the game will automatically do that, then I won't have to. So, I think I shall just wait and see what happens.

So, for the time that Ali will be waiting for her uni acceptance letter, I will just have her work on some skills and other aspirations. My plan is to have her enroll in university on Friday, and then she will have the weekend to work on her homework and projects, graduate high school, and then start uni on Monday. For the first term, she will live in residence. I am sure that she will get into Britechester, which is where I would like her to go, plus she likes the color green, so it will work. I am not sure she will continue with Social Bunny, because I feel it is more high school related.

I did a little up-date on Ali's look (cover shot) with some uni clothing. I am still working on some of her other outfits.

I may have Ali make one final outfit in Trendi, just to actually pay attention to the notices that I get (@mightysprite). I am really hoping that another category trend will come up, because I want her to create a new category style.

I wanted to share a screenie with you of when I had moved Jacob in with Ali temporarily for his age-up. As a werewolf, he has the interaction to "smell here", and I thought that perhaps he could do that and maybe find a good collectible. Well, I clicked on the ground outside of Ali's house, and instead of finding a spot on the ground to investigate, Jacob suddenly went towards Ali, and she was glowing "pink". He had honed in on her smell and autonomously kissed her. I would say he really did find a very valuable collectible! lol I had never seen that happen before, so this was just so cute.

So, just a few random shots of what happened during the week.

She sold a painting.

She did some collecting and practiced her violin. (She is still bad).

I traded in her pumpkin carving station for a woodworking bench and she worked on her handiness skill.

She heads to ThriftTea and creates her last outfit. It is streetwear again. And this time I took note of the drop down notices that I got. Her outfit started as hot, and when I promoted her current look, after the third press, I got this notice.

I just kept pressing that promote current look button, and it went to Fire, and that is when she listed it.

And Ali got her acceptance letter! Woot! She got all the scholarships she applied for, except the Copperdale resident one. And look at all the Distinguished Degrees she was accepted into.

Jacob got accepted into the Distinguished Biology degree at Foxbury; however, I decided not to enroll him in uni, and just concentrate on Ali.

This is his scholarship list, and he also applied for the Great Outdoors (which he later received his scholarship letter for).

Her friend Liam is going to take care of her house, and Jacob is going to live his best werewolf life in Moonwood Mill for now. (I have played 2 sims going to uni before, with one in UBRite and one in Foxbury and, in fact, one time, I played a full house, and it's tough. And since this challenge is about Ali, that is who I will be concentrating on. We will still see Jacob, though, because, well, this is Ali's love interest.)
