I think they've had the want for a long time now!<br /><br />It's funny about Abigail and Dixie. I think the only one of Nick's girlfriends she didn't like was Josie and they didn't last anyway. So it'll be interesting to see if she warms to Dixie eventually, if she and Mitchell last. <br /><br />I probably would have sent Austin to college if he got in but he didn't. And ultimately, it makes more sense for him not to go. Sometimes the game knows better than me!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-19356447846734758622012-05-21T06:47:13.316+10:002012-05-21T06:47:13.316+10:00How sweet that they took some vacation!

He's just not cut out for studying, I don't think. <br /><br />I'm surprised about Eddie and Lauren. She seemed to lose interest in poor old Xavier so quickly but so far so good with Eddie! I'm hoping Abigail just needs more time with Dixie, because Mitchell is very keen on her. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-69851236464594465082012-05-07T11:01:42.104+10:002012-05-07T11:01:42.104+10:00Well, college isn't for everyone, so it's ...Well, college isn't for everyone, so it's probably for the best that he didn't get in.

Maxis definitely likes to make those vacations expensive! Not just the food but accommodation - $700 a night for a <i>cheap</i> hotel room? I've stayed in some pretty nice places but I've never paid anything close to that! Crazy!<br /><br />Yeah, Dominic was the last to not go to college and that was about 10 years ago! The vast majority of my kids roll the want to go and they usually get in too. Dominic was a surprise...Austin, not so much! I'm glad you liked the new uni system. I think I'm really going to enjoy using it in my game too!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-55462275543233965202012-05-04T10:09:38.476+10:002012-05-04T10:09:38.476+10:00No, Austin was never thrilled about the idea of un...No, Austin was never thrilled about the idea of university anyway. He was just going along with it because everyone else was. I think he'll be happier now that he knows he's done with studying. <br /><br />Ah, so maybe it's a vacation thing? That makes a kind of sense to me. Like you say, it is kind of exciting to be away from home and to have all this new food at your disposal.

I chalk it us to Maxis trying to put my sims in the poorhouse. But then I don't go on vacations unless someone rolls a want, and no one has for a long time. Even though they certainly have no problem investing in foreign property. Silly sims.<br /><br />I had noted that it had been a long time since anyone skipped college once you mentioned it. And thank you for posting that new system for deciding on uni! Makes a lot of sense and I'll be stealing that too. :)Finihttp://nh.infinitynevermore.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-40636909289208607592012-05-04T04:17:29.593+10:002012-05-04T04:17:29.593+10:00Ay least Austin isn't broken up about not goin...Ay least Austin isn't broken up about not going to university. And I have a feeling that he'll do alright for himself as he gets older.<br /><br />I've noticed that teens, or at least mine in game, tend to get hungry faster while on vacation. Also grilling or ordering room service. I chalk it up to excitement. LOL With my real kids it never fails, when we go out to eat, if it McDonald's or if it's a steak house, they ALWAYS have to "use" the bath room. I think they just like checking them out. Kids are silly like that.

I remember my cousins eating a TON when they were Austin's age. It was unbelievable.<br /><br />Abigail's outfit is a new top from Bunhead Sims and the skirt is a really old item from (I think) XM Sims. I haven't used it in a long time!<br /><br />It just occurred to me last night while I was playing Mitchell at uni that Dixie took a while to warm up to him as well. So I think she just needs time before she can be herself around people. Being relatively outgoing, Abigail doesn't quite get that, I guess. Hopefully they get along better as they get to know each other.<br /><br />I'm going to make Austin wait until the job comes up on the computer, so we'll see how he goes with putting the plan into action. That's the only thing that will truly put Abigail's mind at ease, I think.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-20090816641980220962012-05-02T03:02:15.473+10:002012-05-02T03:02:15.473+10:00I loved the vacation.

I’m glad everyone kinda had fun even though it wasn’t the ideal destination for everyone. I love Abigail’s outfit.<br /><br />Glad to see Dixie and Mitchell are still doing well. It’s too bad that she doesn’t click with Abigail but at least she gets along well with Jesse. I figured Austin wasn’t cut out for college but at least he has a plan.

Abigail won't be too happy until he's got a job. <br /><br />No, I remember going out with my parents when I was about 17 and praying no one I knew saw me, lol! Being in a foreign country, I guess that wasn't as much of a concern for Austin and Lauren. I love that pic of Austin and Abigail too. I took it from so many different angles!<br /><br />I'm hoping Abigail will come around on Dixie, seeing Mitchell seems so keen on her.

At least he has a plan, which is more than some I know irl :)<br /><br />The family outing seemed like fun. I'm glad the kids had fun as well, it's not always fun having to go with your parents when your 17. And that picture of Abigail and Austin when checking out is just priceless!<br /><br />It's nice to see that Dixie gets along with Mitchell's famiy so well.

He's so lazy, like his dad. <br /><br />Abigail and Dixie were a bit of a mystery but you do get that sometimes with Sims! They're both very nice and it didn't look like they had too many divergent interests and yet they just didn't get along.
