November 2017:
Madison Craig and Bryant Smith are 22; George Tang, Catherine Marshall, Anita Bryant, and Ethan Carter are 20
(Mona Wiggins is 22)
Bryant isn’t so sure he’s entirely comfortable with his roommate this semester. He couldn’t afford to rent the house on his own with Dewey moved off campus now, so he put out an ad. And Stuart McIntyre answered.
Stuart, with his plaid pants that don’t go so well with his floral print shirt. And can’t the guy see that those pants are a little too short anyway?
Stuart, with his weird habit of hanging around silently in the background, just watching what’s going on.
Stuart, who insists on sleeping on the couch. Dewey’s old room is upstairs, with a bed perfectly suited for sleeping in.
And yet, Bryant always finds Stuart passed out on the couch. Which means that Bryant can’t play video games like he wants and he constantly has to tiptoe around the house and speak in whispers to avoid waking him.
He’s not sure what exactly Stuart said that made Madison so angry, but he came out of the bathroom one afternoon to find Madison about to rip the guy’s head off.
So, needless to say, Bryant isn’t spending much time at home this semester. He and Madison go down to the campus library a lot to work on their assignments.
Over in the dorms, things are same as usual. Anita is still seeing Hazel, and they spend a lot of time holed up in her dorm room.
She tries to ignore the friction between Hazel and Ethan as much as she can. Ethan doesn’t mind Hazel so much, but she doesn’t like him. Hazel told Anita she thinks Ethan is sleazy and she can’t stand trying to have a conversation with him that doesn’t turn into a bunch of dirty jokes. But Ethan is one of Anita’s best friends, and she wishes Hazel could just see that Ethan is childish and vulgar at times, but underneath he’s always been a good friend.
Hazel just prefers to stay away from Ethan as much as possible, which isn’t hard considering that Ethan is usually locked up in his room entertaining someone, or else roaming around town. Lately, he’s been spending a lot of time on and off campus with Mona Wiggins. She broke up with Elton, the guy in the llama costume that she used to see, but she insists that she and Ethan are not a couple. They just sleep together a little, that’s all.
Ethan running around town with Mona leaves George having to field calls from all the other guys and girls that Ethan has dated the last two years. Brittany, the cheerleader, calls a lot.
“I don’t know why he hasn’t called you,” George tells her. “No, I don’t think you need to create a new cheer routine for him, honestly.”
Ethan so owes him for this!
“You do realize finals are tomorrow, right?” Madison asks.
“Yep,” Bryant says, his eyes still on the TV.
“Are you planning to study any time tonight?”
Bryant shakes his head. “Nah, piece of cake. I got this.”
“Isn’t that what you said last semester? Right before you failed?” she asks.
“Yeah, but this time I’m sure I know it. I’ve taken the classes twice now. Either I know it now or I never will.”
“So,” he says, taking the book from her hands and pulling her toward him, “I think it’s time for you to take a study break.”
And apparently, Bryant didn’t need to study after all. He and Madison both pass their classes and finally graduate a semester later than originally planned.

Madison with her parents and step-parents. (Charlie is the tallest Sim in the hood, by the way. And ha, I totally didn’t notice until just now that they’re lined up in order of height!)
With her brothers.
The two graduates.
Ready to move on to the real world!
(And here you can see that Bryant is a couple inches taller than Madison. But she always looks giant whenever she’s standing near one of the Suttons. 😉 )

– I didn’t even realize until I was writing this that Catherine isn’t in any pictures! With Madison and Bryant finally off campus, I’ll be able to focus more on George, Catherine, Anita, and Ethan from now on. They kept getting lost in the drama of Madison’s storyline. 😉
– I gave Bryant a roommate to spice up his household a little, but I seriously don’t know what was up with that guy. He absolutely refused to sleep in either of the beds, lol!
– Title comes from “Here’s to the Night” by Eve 6
I love Eve 6! Inside Out is still one of my favorite songs :). I’m glad Madison and Bryant have gotten off campus. It seems to be just in time too with Bryant’s creepy roommate lol. I’m looking forward to seeing more on Ethan and George these next few semesters, should be interesting! How do you get them all in the graduation outfits?
I love Eve 6 too. I had forgotten about them for years, but then recently “rediscovered” them and had to download all my favorite songs to my iPod. 🙂
The “hidden” outfits are unlocked in my game. There’s this tutorial on how to unlock hidden outfits, but honestly, I don’t remember ever doing this. I think my hidden outfits are unlocked because I always play with “boolprop testingcheatsenabled true” turned on by default (necessary for the community time project mod to work) and at some point, the hidden outfits ended up unlocked. It does talk about unlocking the outfits in debug mode near the beginning of that tutorial.
Im glad Madison finally graduated, what cheat do you do for genetic height?
You can use the code stretchskeleton # to adjust a Sim’s height, replacing the # with the number you want to use, such as 1.02. But I don’t use the cheat except on toddlers and children, for everyone else I modify their character file using SimPE to set their height. Laura gives a good explanation about it here.
thanks but i’ll stick with stretch skeleton i dont like hacks
Thank goodness Madison and Bryant finally got their act together and graduated! I love the pic with them looking at each other (I’m a sucker for those kind of pics).
As for the roommate, I have never had a roommate behave normally. Last time I had one (a LONG time ago), I ended up taking control of them with the ControlPets cheat. They just wouldn’t sleep in the bed and because I have a no autonomous napping hack, they were passing out all over the place!
I’m very relieved that they managed to graduate this time! I was afraid one of them would fail again, especially since Bryant didn’t ever want to do his assignments or term paper.
This is the first time I’ve ever played with a roommate, just to try it out, and I’m not sure that I’ll do it again, lol. I wonder why the roommates have such a problem sleeping in the beds? 😉
I was worried for a second that Bryant would fail! I’m glad he didn’t, that would’ve been such a waste of an education.
Ill miss madisons uni updates but I think George and gang will be pretty intersting now that they’ll have the spotlight.
The rommate was funny. I hate that outfit so much haha. He seemed like a real creeper, just hovering everywhere. Last time I played roommate they always stole mycharacters bed even though they had their own room.
Yay, they graduated!!! I was kind of worried about Bryant for a moment there, but I’m glad that he did graduate, it would suck to fail out of college in your last semester!
Lol! That roommate is such a creeper! I personally could not have standed him that long, I probably would have had Bryant kick him out the second he moved in, lol!
I loved George’s face on the phone: “Ethan so owes me for this.”. Haha, I love George 😛
Congrats to all the new graduates.
I never noticed what gorgeous eyes George has. Very pretty.
