I just read STarr and Winter, Week 6, and I liked them both, right until the screen went all white. On both of them. So weird.
Anyway, it looked like both families were coming along quite nicely.

I don't know what's going on with Slideshare. I haven't had any problems. But I'm think of switching to Authorstream to see if it's just Slideshare.
If you get a chance would you see if my new story Veda is doing the same thing? The link is in my siggy.

So, I re-read some of these chapters (it's been so long, I thought I was behind, for some reason), and I just have to say, you might want to re-think doing one semester per week, when you send your sims to university. Because that will add up to EIGHT WEEKS of playtime! Meaning anyone who goes to college winds up staying there for almost an entire sim lifespan! Meaning, also, that you'll have an extremely unbalanced neighborhood, and possibly have heirs starting over on new lots, as their parents die of old age while they're still sophomores, and their nieces and nephews growing up and joining them at college in their junior years.
Personally, I'm using 2 years of college per week of regular sim life.
Anyway, I'm glad I didn't miss anything, but I am glad to read you plan to update again soon!

I'm doing two years per week. Week 5 was a little wonky cause Delilah was the only one going. I could've made her go through four semesters, but then she would be so far ahead of her siblings. There will four uni rotations each week in the future.
Thanks for reading!

So, I'm catching up on this, and on Veda. So far, the SlideShare has worked. I'll let you know more when I've finished.
Yay! An update!

So, Silver Bend slides are working for me. HOORAY! I'm off to read Veda now, and I'll let you know about those slides!

Not having enough time to do the other stuff that University has to offer is why I don't like the semester shortening mods. Sure, it's possible to graduate suma cum laude with 1-day semesters, but you have no time to actually *experience* college that way. There is a LOT of stuff in that expansion! Not to mention just life in general.
And as much as I love the Downtown Time Warp, I also like that you can explore the campus, while the clock is still running. For those people who want to just *get on with it, already!* but also want to do some exploration, that is really nice. It's the same way that vacations work. You leave your hotel, and explore, and the clock is still running.
I love all the expansion sets to Sims 2, actually. And I particularly love combining them (sending my college students downtown, and on vacations, and to the magic lots, and the hobby lots, and... They can't have their own pets, but they can play with pets downtown (with the mod that fixes the "patch" that broke that in the game, because originally pets WERE allowed downtown, but they "fixed" the game with a patch that took that functionality away, and don't EVEN get me started on primping and that debacle! And where was I? Oh, yeah! LOVE Sims. Hate EA.
Anyway, here's to exploring what University has to offer! With multiple college households, you certainly have the opportunity. You can experience dorm life, Greek life, plain and unaffiliated in a house life, even challenge life, if you want to. Stick a tent on an empty lot, and watch the college students make it through. It's totally do-able at college, because they can fulfill their needs, skill up, have fun, elsewhere, and just go home to crash in the tent. Heck, make it a Greek House with 1 wall (for the obligator letter), and they can sleep on the ground! Because sleeping on the ground is a thing in Greek houses? Anyway, choose your favorite thing, and have fun! Hmmm, the old "Ethiopian Challenge" might actually work at Uni. I don't know. I've only tried (and failed, miserably) back in Base Game.

Re: Silver Bend: A Simself BACC UD 06/10/18
Well on my old computer in particular taking my sims anywhere was such a pain in the neck, so they were glued to writing term papers, studying,life in the dorms. Therefore college took FOREVER.
Even on the new computer where i know it would be faster, I'm like eh do I really want to walk to a lot....yeah my sims like never get out because I'm too darn lazy to take them anywhere. At least my sims can go on vacations more often now, though I still never take them on dates/outings.
Yeah my sims get to have no fun at all... I'm so mean. Guess it's just the homebody part of me? Not sure.
It's so weird how much I like throwing parties in Sims 3...I like NEVER throw parties in sims 2..probably because without a teleporter you only have 2 guests..that's hardly a party....and again lagggggggg with old computer.
And agreed about remembering what the heck you did last time in a house. I always have to go back and re-read previous rotation chapters to remind myself what was going on so I don't get totally lost especially with certain "boring" houses.

I have to re-read from the beginning, practically every time I switch, unless I do 2 houses in a row in a very short period of time.
I had that "2 sims limit" too. I think it was based on CPU speed, so if your computer lagged, the game limited it. With a faster computer, you could invite more people. But then, there's a mod to allow you to invite 256 sims, at once, regardless of computer speed, so...
Yeah, glad to see you have a new computer!

My computer throws a fit when I first load of the sims. But after that it settles down thankfully. I still can't have whole neighborhood block parties, but I can get things done.
