Generation 1: College, Skilling, and So Much More!

Welcome back to Apocalypse Badlands!



Wow, Tom! What an overachiever!



You only now got home from your final exam and ALREADY getting your dormmates to work on your term paper!

Thanks.

Sure thing, Tom.



I see you have decided to take up painting?

Yep. Can't have enough of those skills.

Good boy, Tom.



As a reward, have another aspiration perk! Hmm, slower hygine decay... THAT will come in handy until someone becomes Chief of Staff!

Huh?

Don't worry your little head about it yet, Tom. You'll have more than enough of that when you move back home, believe me...



Ah! A portrait! Good job, Tom!

Of course. I want those bonus points for our Legacy Challenge!

CRASH!

Right.... By the way, do you think if we break the fourth wall enough, our contractor who fixes it will give us a discount?



Ohh, nice drawing, Tom!



Wow! Congratulations!

Yay! A maxed skill!

Don't forget you maxed Logic, too! I just didn't take a picture.

How CAN I forget? The image of that chessboard is permanently etched in the back of my retinas!



Working on body now?



That oughta do the trick! Any second now....



There it is!

Max body!

So you can travel to community lots as an elder! Great!

What? Why would I need 10 body points for that?

Oh, no reason...



Good job, Tom!



I always knew you had it in you...





Who are you?

RANDOM GIRL: Oh, I'm...

Let me rephrase that: Why are you in Tom's bed?

Who's bed?

Sigh. Tom! Start locking your doors!



I'm busy!

Great! The one Sim who looks like he might get all skills maxed before adulthood, and his lifetime want is unachievable!

Why unachieveable? All I want is to reach the top of Journalism.

But Tom, Journalism is unimportant! I need you for Science!

Why?

You'll understand soon enough, Tom...



Great job, Tom!



And nice on that, too. But why is Shelly outside in her underwear?

Because I'm cool like that.

OK, Shelly.



Whoa! It's snowing!

That's not snow, Tom. It's toxic ash.

What? Don't be silly!

OK, Tom. But when you start to wonder why your friends back home stopped calling you, make sure you don't ask me. I might just tell you.



Well, this seems like a good place to stop, folks! Goodbye!
