More Random Musings…
My slowed down game (extended lifespan, slower skill gain..) has in the short term resulted in my Sims doing new and more things. I’ve found I’ve taken them travelling to bars (more than once), to geek con and even on a vacation to Granite Falls. My Sims hardly ever get vacation and have never gone camping before. :o They’re having aweSim adventures. Though I have just enrolled Natasha in university (but she’ll have four weeks per semester..)
Speaking of university. The original plan with Natasha was to make her a physics major because scientist is one of my favourite careers, so it’s kind of her dream. Move to the desert and work in the lab…. Well that changed a bit. Often I enroll my Sims in a distinguished degree, figuring that meeting the requirements for entry indicates a good fit. Gave Natasha some basic logic skill and practiced lots of programming and called it good. As an overachieving sort and a bit academic, she took to prepping research and debate. So, she got into communications, economics and psychology but not physics. :p So now Natasha is contemplating a future in environmental management as a conservationist. She’d still be geeking out on the computer and doing biology stuff with plants and potentially living in a super hot climate, but it might be Sulani!
And meanwhile the fiancé, Ryan, is still kicking about as a lawn mower and odd jobber. Which is, actually, exactly his character. Skill gain is so much slower than my normal that (only two weeks in mind) he hasn’t shown an aptitude for a specific career path yet. In a way it’s wonderful ‘cause he’s noncommittal and in many ways Tasha’s opposite…
