Day 14, Part 1

Its Dean’s first day of class! He’s gotten up early and prepped himself well and when the clock ticks over he heads off to his first class of the day. He wants to pass all of his exams and graduate with the highest score. That means he’s going to have to work super hard but he’s ready for it. He chugged through all of his classes without getting too exhausted and even did a little extra study before bed.

With my computer behaving the way it is it’s a little difficult to play at my best. There’s a delay for everything and so my timing of things is so much more important. He’s not going to have a part-time job because of this. That concludes the fourteenth day.

Day 13, Part 1

Its Dean’s first day at university! He’s registered himself into one of the dorms so he doesn’t have to worry about rent and access to facilities. He’s met some of the other roommates, unpacked his things and already started to get into his studies.

Dean only has about $300 and so I haven’t bought him anything. I plan on picking up some candy bar freebies at the meet and greet in order to keep him fed on the days he has the most classes. I’ve taken a look at the job board and have decided not to take anything on yet.

Dean headed out to the university meet and greet and picked up some freebies and met the school mascot. Afterwards he decided to head home and continue on studying before turning in for the night in order to get an early start on the first day of classes.

That concludes the thirteenth day.

Day 12, Part 3

Dean has taken the aptitude test and is going to get a $1000 scholarship! He also got an opportunity to collect extra simoleons on enrolling. He’s ready to go and is all too eager to pick up the phone. He’s earned a distinguished Science and Medicine Scholarship meaning that he’s already earned credits. Because of the scholarships he can also complete his degree in his first two terms!

It worked out a lot better than I had thought it would. Because of his current work and his skills he got a good scholarship and the bonus gave him enough to pay for all of his tuition and have some left over. I haven’t packed anything for him because he’ll return after and dorm rooms come fully furnished. He’s going to benefit from the university facilities. Things are looking up. That concludes the twelfth day.

Day 12, Part 2

Dean’s heading off to the Winter Festival where he’s going to give serious thought to his next move. He’s received a holiday bonus! With this he might be able to do more credits at university! He’s just got to take the aptitude test to see if he can get any scholarships. The toilets broken again and Elliot is being more active without socialising. It might be time for him to get out of town for a while. He’s ordered an aptitude test and plans to take it after he gets back from the Winter Festival.

A security system is way too expensive and so I’ve decided to send Dean to university after he goes to the Winter Festival. I’ll sell most of his things and get him a part time job. He’ll be able to use the facilities of the dorms and they’re free. He’ll be able to make friends there as well.

After taking some photos and some snowboarding, Dean is heading back home to take the aptitude test and head off to university.

Day 12, Part 1

Dean’s been robbed! The thief came in and took his kitchen counter and ran off! He didn’t get up and call the police in time. He doesn’t really have the money for a new counter if he wants to keep saving. Maybe he should really be considering going to the university. At least the dorms have facilities… and security.

So I broke my first rule of normal gameplay. I did not buy a security alarm and a fire alarm. And thus, my poor Dean got robbed.

Day 11, Part 2

Dean is off to work and because the extra effort he’s put in helping the sick children and the nurses, he’s earned a raise! He’s going to play some video games to de-stress before going to sleep. If he gets up early enough he’ll be able to go to the Winter Festival before work.

He needs a TV really. The computer games take quite a while to boost his fun up but I can’t afford one for him just yet. That concludes the eleventh day.

Day 11, Part 1

Dean is looking into his options with university. He’s quite low on money but by taking a look through the computer he’s discovered that’s its $625 just for one term of six credits. He certainly doesn’t have enough for that yet but he’s seriously thinking about it.

He almost has enough for one term and just doing six credits but he’ll have to come back every time and do more work in order to pay for the next term. I think I’ll try and save enough so he can at least do half of his course in the first term.

Dean’s still looking quite thin as well so he’s thinking it might be time to start gaining some muscle. He’s going to try working out with the stereo.

Day 10, Part 2

Dean doesn’t have much money but still wants to go to the Winter Festival. He’s going to have to work a little bit harder and hope for that promotion.

I’m thinking about having him earn enough money to eventually go to university and come back and re-enter the Medical Field but I’m not sure what will produce the better results. The time it takes him to earn the money for university and head back might just be the same as ascending in the career normally.

Dean’s off to work again! And after agreeing to stay later and working hard, Dean has earned a promotion! He’s now a Bed Pan Cleaner! Now he’s off home to sleep of the exhaustion and play out the stress.

Finally… I didn’t think he was going to make it. He earned a bonus of $312 and now earns $30 an hour. That puts his current financial state up to $631. Barely enough for a course but maybe a term?

Dean returned home and slept for the better part of the day. He’s excited about his promotion but not about his bills. His working hours are still the same so he hopes his routine won’t have to change too much.

That concludes the tenth day.

Day 10, Part 1

Elliot is still shaking everything she can jump into but Dean isn’t the least bit fazed about it anymore. He’s not even going to let it ruin his breakfast.

I’m actually really surprised he was still able to do that though. His logic skill is where it needs to be so I’m hoping for him to get promoted soon. He’s on very little money.

Elliot is, however, preventing him from using the bathroom. Lucky Dean’s a gentlemen. While he’s waiting for her to finish up he’s going to be boosting his skills and doing a little cleaning.

Day 9, Part 3

Dean wasn’t promoted but he’s carrying on with practicing his writing skills at home.

I’m going to build his writing skill up to three or four before I start having him write books because it’ll give him a better chance of earning large royalties.

He’s a little exhausted but also boosted his skill in logic at the same time.

At least he wasn’t hit by a meteorite. That concludes the ninth day.

[Note: I lost the photo files for this post.]

Day 9, Part 2

Dean has enough money for a kiddies computer and thinking that it’s better than nothing, he bought it! Now he’s going to practice his writing in between shifts to get some extra money.

I first thought that the kiddie computer was deco because it was part of the clutter collection but luckily it actually works as a normal computer. Upping his writing skill will be beneficial as a lot of money can be made from writing.

He’s upped his skill in time for work!
