Mattsmyra - A Swedish Prosperity Challenge

This is a huge update, 105 pictures!

Year 88-89

Year 90  - The Dorms

Sara Montell is the first sim of year 90 to arrive to the dorms.

Joining her are her cousins Pontus and Oliver Sandvall

Cousin Siri Törnblad

and Sara’s three-bolt boyfriend Sixten Mossberg

My game has the notion that this was their first kiss, but I’m pretty sure it’s not. Maybe it is because he just became playable.

The Greek House members Siv Markövertag (also a cousin to Sara, Siri, Pontus and Oliver) and Oscar Rodiek get inspired. It might actually have been his first kiss. It’s not hers, since we know that she’s had a relationship with a college boy since she was a teen.

The ones who have career LTW’s choose their majors. Pontus wants to be a City Planner and chooses Mathematics, Oliver wants to become a Prestidigitator and chooses Literature, and Sixten wants to become a Professional Party Guest and chooses art.

Then Greek House try-outs. Oliver – 1p.

Pontus – 1p

Sara – 1p

And Siri – 1p. No picture of her, though, but of Oscar and Siv in bed together! Do we see a future for these two? We’ll see when we get to the Greek House.

And we are going there now – Bye Sixten!

Sixten is left behind in the dorms – and finds that his true hobby is Nature

Year 90 – Helsinge Nation

There is not much happening at Helsinge Nation. Apart from that Siri gets hit by lightning

If that made her decide on her major is unknown, but she does choose Art.

Filip takes a trip to campus and for the first time in his life finds someone who is hot for real. His name is Amar (later changed to anders to be more Swedish) and he seems to be a member of the secret society which none of j68’s sims ever becomes a part of.

Tragedy strikes when the GH parrot Wilhelm Tell dies unexpectedly.

At the end of year 90, we have 7 inhabitants at Helsinge Nation.

Oliver Sandvall, Knowledge sophomore, Literature SCL

Sara Montell, Pleasure sophomore, no declared major, no honours

Pontus Sandvall, Knowledge, should have been a sophomore with a mathematics major, but is on academic probation since j68 left the game running while having dinner :/

The redhead is called Jerzy Rodiek (I think) and is only visiting.

Here we see Filip Burlin, Pleasure senior, Physics SCL

Oscar Rodiek, Pleasure senior, Mathematics no honours

Siri Törnblad, Romance sophomore, Art SCL

and Siv Markövertag, Family junior, History MCL

Year 91 – the dorms

In the dorms, we find at the beginning of ’91, three sims. It’s Ludvig Burlin, who is a single gay, Sixten Mossberg who is dating Sara Montell, and Jenny Mattsson, who is dating Vidar Rodiek.

Jenny arrives with her father Georg



Ludvig

Jenny wants to become a General and chooses to major in Political Science. Sixten is an Art major and Ludvig hasn’t decided.

Sixten loves his Sara. They have three bolts and puts the hottub to good use. Sara lives in the Greek House.

Other Greek House members who uses the hottub are Oscar Rodiek and Siv Markövertag. They have an on-and-off relationship going. Now it’s apparently on.

You would think Siv is a Romancer, but she’s actually a Family girl who has a hard time making up her mind. Now she’s falling in love with her lover since forever – dormie Lars-Erik Knutsson. They have an on-off relationship, too.

All this takes place during the intense try-outs for membership in the Greek House Helsinge Nation.

Ludvig is the first one to succeed in getting into the Greek house. He even managed during his first try. 1p!

Jenny – 1p

And Sixten – 1p

They will stay in the dorm all year, though, since Helsinge Nation is full

Jenny booty calls her boyfriend Vidar Rodiek

And the hottub gets put to good use again

It’s a good semester at the dorms. All the inhabitants get A+ grades and we summarize at the start of year 92:

Ludvig Burlin, Fortune, No declared major, SCL, sophomore

Sixten Mossberg, Pleasure, Art Junior, no honours,

Jenny Mattsson, Popularity, Political Science, MCL, sophomore

Year 91 – Helsinge Nation

Pontus is on academic probation and is for the moment one semester behind the others. He deals with that by spending a lot of time away from the Greek house, to let time pass for him but not for them.

The gym is a good place to hang out, the best actually. You can work out and max your body skill, there is a cafeteria with food, there are toilets and showers, and you can shop or watch TV. The only thing missing is a coffee machine.

When he’s out of probation, he’s still behind the others, so he goes to the library this time to write his term paper. He has been stalked by the secret society for a while...

So he starts to hang out with them

While there, Cecilia Lind, who waits for her dorm to to be played, steals some lime light by kissing Stefan Vestlund. What will Oliver say?!

Back at the house there is dinner served in the form of Comfort soup. Siv does her best to eradicate the flu.

Filip has worked up is courage and asked Anders Carlsson for a date. He’s apparently a Popularity sim and seems to be a member of the secret society

Moving along nicely!

And fast!

Then he wants a bird, and he names it Hawkings for another scientist

Siri finds Filip hot. Too bad he’s openly gay!

Siri is half gay herself and booty calls Louise Wern, who lives with Siri’s cousin My Montell (or is she her aunt? No they are cousins. Had to check my geneaology program)

They head straight for the hottub.

It’s a calm year at Helsinge Nation, despite the house being almost full. Only one toga party is arranged all year and has to be documented. Pontus new body must be documented too! He’s very fit nowadays!

After sophomore year, Sara decides to change her aspiration from Pleasure and 50 dream dates to Knowledge and an LTW to become Education Minister. 

To fit her new LTW she decides to major in Biology instead of Philosophy where she was placed after two years of undecisiveness.

Siri is changed too, from Romance and 20 woohoos to Family and Golden anniversary. She keeps her major in Art.

Oliver has spent a LOT of time on the ballet barre, and has reached max enthusiasm in Music&Dance – 1p!

And graduations! Oscar graduates CL in Mathematics.

He will move back to his parents’ house Långhed. Siv Markövertag will probably become his wife, their on-off relationship has been mostly on lately.

Filip graduates SCL in Physics. He will move to an apartment in Bluewater and become a Game Designer.

Filip takes his picture with Siv, too, not Anders, though he’s still on the lot. Maybe he wants to tell us that he wants to remain single. We’ll see when we get to him.

At the start of year 92 at Helsinge Nation, we now have the class of ’91 moved in and the house is completely full. We see here:

Siv Markövertag, Family, History Senior,

Oliver Sandvall, Knowledge, Literature Junior

Jenny Mattsson, Popularity, Political Science Sophomore, MCL

Siri Törnblad, Family, Art Junior, SCL

Sara Montell, Knowledge, Biology Junior,

Sixten Mossberg, Pleasure, Art Junior, no honours,

Ludvig Burlin, Fortune, No declared major, SCL, sophomore

Pontus Sandvall, Knowledge, Mathematics Junior

Year 91-92, the dorms

The simGodess has too many sims in Uni this round and cannot keep track of their age. Vidar and Saga Rodiek should have been in the same dorm as Jenny, Ludvig and Sixten, but ended up in the year 92 dorm. This means that they are promptly moved out to a separate dorm to catch up their freshman year.

Saga wants to become Hand of Poseidon and chooses a Biology major.

The studying starts immediately

However, Vidar is a Pleasure sim and likes dating. He invites Jenny Mattsson, his girlfriend in the middle of a thunderstorm. It’s not a good idea.

After the second lightning strike, Jenny’s had enough and stomps off declaring that she would rather chew her leg off than date Vidar again. Later she comes by with a bag of flaming poo!

Then Greek House try-outs. Vidar succeeds

And Saga too - 2p for both

Then the summer arrives for real and Vidar overheats by excercise bike

Saga has to cool him off with some water, while the coach yells at them both to shape up

Now look what you did! He overheated again, and Saga is in class!

A drink of water and then to bed…

And after a couple of hours sleep, Vidar gets out of bed and faints on the floor, overheated again! Luckily it’s time to move from this dorm to the year 92 dorm

And here they are, Vidar and Saga on the edges and the freshmen Emmy, Olle and Cecilia in the middle. Here it’s winter, so Vidar is fine again.

Emmy Benett, Romance



Cecilia Lind, Fortune and Olle Burlin, Fortune

Cecilia is a Fortune sim who wish to become a Hall of Famer, so she chooses the only major that can help her get there – Drama

Olle is a Fortune sim too, with the LTW to become a World Class Ballet Dancer, so he chooses Drama too

Then he finds that his true hobby is Fitness. That’s very convenient for a future dancer

Saga and Sixten?! Sixten is Sara Montell’s boyfriend and Saga is not particularly interested in any relationship, but still this happens. Must have been a full moon rising

Then Greek House try-outs. Cecilia goes first

Olle is accepted, too, just missed the picture, so you get an everyday study session instead

Emmy is the last one in at the end of her freshman year

Vidar decides to change his aspiration to.... Fortune! J68 dice have stuck on a new number

His new LTW is to become a... Hall of Famer! Another one! There will have to be a lot more teams started in Mattsmyra when this lot arrives home! So – Vidar chooses a Drama major.

At the shift between year 92 and 93, this group will still be in the dorms, since the greek House is still full. The sophomores:

Emmy Benett, Romance, no declared major, SCL

Olle Burlin, Fortune, Drama SCL

Cecilia Lind, Fortune, Drama SCL

And the Juniors:

Saga Rodiek, Fortune, Biology SCL

Vidar Rodiek, Fortune, Drama CL

Year 92, Helsinge Nation

We have a really full house, occupied by the Montell and Mattsson clans.

Oliver and Pontus are brothers and Sara, Siri and Siv are their cousins.

Ludvig and Jenny are cousins, and Sixten is not related to anyone, but involved in a deep relationship with Sara.

Pontus: ”It was really clumsly of you to break the computer!”

Siri: “Don’t you blame me, it could have happened to anyone. It was probably Hawkings gnawing on the cords!”

Oliver still spends a lot of time at the ballet barre, and maxes his body skill




There are more parties now since Jenny moved to Helsinge Nation. But a toga party in the middle of the winter might not have been her best idea




While pondering over the wisdom of winterly togaparties and thinking about what to do with the pairing ups this generation (all planned couples are not great matches) - this screen popped up. The kidnapping was completely missed!




Ah, it was Pontus, spending a year on community lots and getting to know the Secret Society




He spends some time on the lot, getting to know the members better.




And he gets his own nifty suit!




Apparently you don't need to be best friends with the members to be abducted, only friends.




And at home, in  a completely full house, Ludvig is socially deprived (how does this even happen?). He calls his mother for a chat, but it's too late - the social bunny already arrived - -1p...




Then he goes hunting for a boyfriend. If he has one he can booty call him and never be socially deprived again. The clerk at the Campus café is a two-bolter, beside another guy who is in a relationship with the third guy.




At home, Hawkings is forgotten, too




Jenny takes mercy on him and feeds him and he lives for a while longer




Siv misses Oscar and invites him over right before her graduation. It's a sign to the SimGodess!




And Comfort Soup is cooked for the last time in this house, at least the last time for Siv!




The graduation party is combined with a date and it works perfectly until the game crashes.




With the repeated graduation party, Oscar is still here and is included in Siv's picture




The seven left in the house in the beginning of year 93 are from the left:

Sixten Mossberg, Pleasure, Art senior, no honours
Sara Montell, Knowledge, Biology senior, CL
Ludvig Burlin, Fortune, Philosophy junior, MCL




Pontus Sandvall, Knowledge, Mathematics senior, no honours
Jenny Mattsson, Popularity, Political science junior, MCL
Siri Törnblad, Family, Art senior, MCL




And last, but not least our only top student:
Oliver Sandvall, Knowledge, Literature senior, SCL




And that's it from Uni this round!
