I probably still won't really start playing this seriously until January, but I had a bit of time and thought I'd put together a small post.

Chapter 1
After receiving his acceptance letter to Foxbury Institute, Max moved into Maritime Manor, not thrilled at the prospect of having roommates, but his father had insisted that making connections would be good for him and future business endeavors.
But no, no, this room was too drab and bright all at once. It made Max cringe.
He didn't much care if redecorating to such an intense degree was allowed or not. He already felt so much more at home.
Eager to avoid his chatty roommates, he took a stroll around campus and partook in one of his favorite pastimes - vandalism.
He explored the robotics lab, though the explosions definitely packed more of a punch than his old childhood potions table. He'd explore this hobby more later...
The dining hall staff member greeted him with a carefree smile, and Max instantly disliked him. Then, he read his name on his name badge, Kyle Kyleson, it somehow made him hate him even more.
The poor dumb dude would never see his quick-witted prank coming...
And with any luck, Kyle would get blamed for the laxatives Max had sneakily sprinkled over lunch.
---
I did intend to start with the Villainous Valentine aspiration, but it requires that Max has a romantic partner, and I didn't want to rush that right off the bat, so he'll work on the Chief of Mischief aspiration in the meantime until I'm inspired to make him woo (or be wooed by) someone. That aspiration also requires him to break up couples, but he needs to have a good relationship with people to effectively convince them, as I've found out by playing around, so I will need to have Max work on actually building relationships with people
Also I like that it suggests milestones based on his traits (or maybe aspiration?) - getting into a fight and making an enemy. We can manage those soon I'm sure
Here is my sim I will be playing. It is sweet loving friendly Barbie that is overcome with a rebel stage and is now a evil, mischievous Barbie instead I still need to build her house, but thought I would just introduce her. Here are some before and after pics of her face and also personality traits she used to have and has now.
ps. I am not a story teller and also don't always comment on everyone's posts although I do read them
Love that Max redecorated his Foxbury dorm room to suit his personality. Kyle Kyleson...lol, and Max hates him. Max is certainly getting into the uni life by doing graffitti on the statue and putting some suspicious chemicals in the cafeteria food. Oh, and the robotics machine...don't work on this alone! He needs an evil minion to be close and have a death flower in his inventory in case Max gets in an electrified fight with a robot! lol
I have a small update, but my game crashed, so none of this actually happened. (or, I'll just have to do it again, really).
Ulrike started by researching her options. Her art career was getting her nowhere; she had no cash and Maaike had taken all the food with her when she moved out. The nerve. She needed a new job fast so she could make some good money while still being able to focus on her painting.
There was a position open as an agency clerk at S.I.M.S. and that seemed like a good option. Plus, browsing the intelligence database was interesting and left her feeling very focused.
The only thing decent in the fridge to eat were some leftover cold cuts, but Ulrike had an idea.
Maaike had left her furniture when she moved out, saying she'd "come get it when I need it," but Ulrike thought she probably needed it more. She'd just sell Maaike's bed and that would get her some cash to start on. Maaike would probably be mad when she found out, but whatever. It was just a bed.
That gave her enough money to buy some canvases for some paintings. She was still feeling focused, so she made a mathematical diagram. She figured the logic skill would probably come in handy as a secret agent.
And with a painting under her belt, she settled in for a good night's sleep.
Extra:
Her and Maaike have bad compatibility, so it makes sense they wouldn't have worked out as roommates.
She discovered that she really likes Latin pop music!
Just in case no one has told you today, you are loved.
Max really didn't want to go back to his dorm - his roommate were insufferable, so he decided to explore the town of Britechester when he stumbled upon an art museum.
And of course, Tane, the most insufferable of all his roommates, still tagged along...
Looking at all the art reminded Max of all the art heists he had helped his father organize through the years.
In fact, what was stopping him from making a little money under the table? Surely he could snag a few pieces here and there unnoticed...
(I looked up how to get a discovery trait of 'kleptomaniac' and looking at museum art repeatedly was supposed to do the trick, and we had success!)
At home, he proudly displayed his stolen treasure, at least until he could turn a profit from it.
"Is that new? It looks dusty." Cameron barged into his room with Tane right behind him, spray bottle in hand, because he was always cleaning whether he was invited to do so or not.
"What's up buddy?" Tane exclaimed, making himself at home on Max's bed. "Also, that new sculpture looks so much like the one at that museum! So rad!"
Well, that did it...
But all those years of surfing had made Tane much physically stronger than Max. Max would have to work on that...
(Max has now reached his desired milestones of getting in a fight and making an enemy. Also most of Max's roommates/classmates are aged up children just to make his peer group feel authentic. If I recall correctly, his roommates are Tane Ngata, Lucas Munch, Cameron Fletcher, and Alexander Goth. Some of his female classmates include Elsa Bjersen, Billie Jang, Olivia Kim-Lewis, and Christie Sigworth)
@Belalucina Ugh, that's the worst when it crashes, but I use screenshots I take when the game crashes too and then just quickly catch up as best as I can haha. I like your reasoning behind Ulrike not being good roommate with Maaike and it will be fun to watch her tackle this career!
I guess Max doesn't like roommates either. Nice way for him to get his milestone. I haven't looked to see what it suggests for Ulrike yet.
Edit:
I like that you aged up children for his roommates. It's a nice touch. Having the other challenge Sims in my game while doing omowoy was fun, it almost makes me want to do it with this one too, even though it's a shorter challenge.
Just in case no one has told you today, you are loved.
@Belalucina I uploaded Max to the gallery and here's a link to his CC hair if you want him haha (you'll have to select show custom content for him to show up)
It was Sunday and Clement Frost (Clem) was in the Newcrest Boxing gym. He was signed up for another fight and was doing a warm up when a sim approached him.
Dennis Racket: "Are you Clement Frost?"
Clem stopped punching the punching bag and looked at him, "Who wants to know?"
Dennis Racket: "I'm Dennis and let's just say I am here representing someone who is interested in your fight today."
Clem picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.
Clem: "Let me guess. You want to pay me to take a fall. Not interested. I don't take dives. The prize simoleons is what I am after and the reputation that comes with it. So, if you're here to offer me dive pay...move along..."
Dennis Racket: "On the contrary, my boss wants to make you an offer to come and work for him. A rather lucrative deal if you ask me."
Clem shook his head, "Not interested. I do what I want when I want."
Dennis Racket: "So, how much you gonna get today if you win?"
Clem: "$500 simoleons and an increase in my reputation. Undefeated in five straight matches. I am looking to make it big."
Dennis Racket: "Make it big, huh? Well, I am not sure how $500 simoleons will cover all of your expenses today, " he said consulting his cell phone, "...behind in your rent for three months and facing eviction, fired from your last job as a dishwasher in some seedy diner, behind in your bills with debt collectors tracking you down...oh, and this one...borrowed $1,000 simoleons from the Bagley Family...and they are expecting payment today...the Bagley's don't take kindly to not getting all their funds paid back on time..."
Clem gritted his teeth, "Listen, I don't know who you are or where you got your information, but I'm fine. Got another gig after the fight..."
Dennis Racket: "Oh, yes, the gig...escorting a rich broad to some art gallery charity event...I'm surprised you even have the proper clothes to wear to such an event...or perhaps she's buying you some for your...um...services. $500 for the night. I guess that will cover the $1,000 simoleons you borrowed from the Bagley Family...but then there's that interest that they will want, too. It would be a shame if you couldn't pay it and your arm was somehow broken in the negotiations..."
Clem narrowed his eyes, "Look, I've got a fight in a few minutes, so if you're through I've gotta go..."
Dennis Racket held out a business card, "My boss is willing to offer you an advance of $20,000 simoleons, a nice place to stay, and to wipe out all your debts, including what you owe the Bagley Family, plus interest. Of course, he'd want you to sign a contract to be an exclusive and work just for him. He thinks you have potential. He wants to be your mentor, help you branch out in other fields. I would think about it if I was you because I also saw one of the Bagley Family thugs hanging around out front. You're a smart kid, so, do yourself a favor, and call the number..."
Clem grabbed the card and without even looking at it, threw it on the floor, "I'm outta here. I'm sure you know where the exit is..."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
At that minute, Clem was called to the ring. He was the defending champ and he heard a lot of sims cheering him on.
Clem was pretty confident, but the fight between challenger, Brant Hecking and Clem Frost didn't last long.
It was beginner's luck and somehow that Brant guy won the match.
Those $500 simoleons that Clem had counted on suddenly vanished into thin air.
He left the ring and was suddenly approached by one of the Bagley Family's thugs.
Thug: "Frost, we need to have a word...in private..."
They headed over to a couch area and sat down.
Clem:"Look, I know I lost the fight tonight, but you'll get your simoleons. I've got another gig lined up for tonight, and all those funds will be yours. Just...um...give me a few days to get the rest. You know I am good for it. I've got another fight next week...and I'll win..."
Thug: "Like you won tonight? Shame about that. But you know, Ma Bagley ain't gonna wait for her funds, and we already know about your "other" gig tonight. We'll be waiting outside the art gallery charity event for those funds. And you better deliver Frost. You know Ma doesn't like to be disappointed."
Clem nodded his head and the thug walked away. Dang! How had it happened? How had that Brant guy won the match? Clem had never seen him before, and he didn't look like he should be in the lightweight division at all. Somehow, the fight had been rigged, and Clem suspected that the Bagley Family was behind it, but he couldn't prove it.
He still had time before he had to meet his "date" and thought he would work on his defensive punching. Just then his cell phone rang. It was his "date" for tonight, and she was cancelling because she was sick and wouldn't be able to attend the charity event. Funny though, she didn't sound sick. She told him that she would call him again when she needed him and promptly hung up.
Clem looked at the phone and shook his head. First he lost the fight, and now his "date" had cancelled. He was definitely having a bad day. And that Bagley Family thud would be waiting for him outside the art gallery to get those funds. Funds which he didn't have. And when Clem didn't show up...they would come looking for him. Oh man, he was in trouble. Big trouble.
As he walked towards the punching bag, he spied the business card lying on the ground where he had thrown it. Without even thinking he picked it up and scrutinized the name on the card.

Clem thought for a moment and remembered what that guy Dennis had said..." It would be a shame if you couldn't pay it and your arm was somehow broken in the negotiations...". He knew what he had done when he had gotten that loan from the Bagley Family, and if he couldn't pay it back, they might definitely do what Dennis had implied. Clem looked at the card again and then punched the number into his cell phone.
Clem: "Sul Sul...Mr. Racket. This is Clem Frost. I heard you had a business proposal for me...yeah, sure, I know it. I'll be there in an hour..."
Clem hung up the phone and thought that this might be the start of something good.

Notes:
MBO Views is an acronym for Mobwives, the organization that sims join when they enter the criminal career in Sims 4.
The Racket Family & Bagley Family are criminal families in the Sims 3. We will be seeing them during the story. (Click links for the Sims 3 storyline of the family).
The thug for the Bagley Family was made by this simmer.
Brant Hecking is a pre-made sim in Sims 4. He is at level 5 of the Bodybuilder Career at The Other Sports Team (personal trainer) and has 4 skill points in fitness. He also has the good trait. Clem and Brant now dislike each other.
After a long drive to Britechester, Max arrived at the dorms, his new home. But... He didn't really look too thrilled.
(Max) "What is this place? It's so... Ugly in here? I mean, I have standards, man..."
Nothing to do about it, young boy! You just gotta roll with it!
Max got even more disappointed as he walked into his new dorm room.
(Max) "My dorm room looks even worse than the hallway... Wait, two more beds?? I'm SHARING rooms?!"
He tried to find something nice in this hellhole, but was met with disappointment after disappointment. Eventually he reached the (also shared) bathroom.
(Max) "There's gonna be a lot of changes around here..."
(Max) "... Starting with myself."
(Man in the shower) "Hey man, can you pass me the soap?"
(Max) "Oh my god..."
So sorry your game crashed. I've had that happen one too many times before. I love how those compatibility traits pop up now. So, Ulrike didn't care for Maaike Haas and kicked her out. lol That's funny because they were both creative and you would think they would get along. I bet Maaike even took the ice cub trays from the fridge. Yeah, Ulrike has just cause to sell Maaike's bed. Afterall, Ulrike has bills to pay. At least she is falling back on her art interest to make some funds, but exploring a new option by getting a new career. This will be interesting because I have never played the secret agent career myself. Great start.
Very cool that Max now has the kleptomaniac trait. And first museum piece acquired. I love how you used all the premades and just aged them up to become roomies with Max. Poor Tane just made an innocent comment on that nice sculpture, which Cameron Fletcher had cleaned up so nicely. And Max is irritated and gets in a fight with Tane. But, surprise, Tane wins the fight with Max. Max isn't as tough as he thought he was! lol (If you've read my story, Clem also gets beaten up. Clem has 0 skill points in fitness and he aspires to be a boxer! lol)
Read your backstory about Max and loved it. So he is in uni, too. He's not too thrilled about sharing rooms...too many flashbacks of having to share with his siblings. lol And the bathroom scene...pass the soap! Open showers...those fun bathrooms in the Britechester dorm. Can't wait to see how Max will change. Great start.
@mcrudd - So sorry your mouse broke and you can't play, but looking forward to your up-date when you post.

Lazy sunday mornin, Mila was cooking breakfast for her "boys".
Wolfie: I am still a teen, I am supposed to live at home... but you are an old dude.. still eating here what mom cooks!
Gunther: I study in university!! It's expensive.
Wolfie: For how long? Another 8 years?
Gunther: .....
Mila: Boys, boys.. stop fighting... Wolfie has a point there though..
Lucas: I am glad I am the normal one! And Watcher made my wish come true, and build me a wall!
Gunther went to "study"...
Mila to write her cookbook.
Wolfie needed to get out!
Escape from home, that was what he needed! He met with his friend, Morgan at the cafe.
Wolfie: Hey what's this?
Wolfie: Gotcha!
Morgan: Heyyy!!!!
Morgan: BOO!
Wolfie: Heyyyy!!!
Both: We are the best!
Morgan:Dad is in there, let's go somewhere else.. Lets go spraying at gym!
Wolfie: We really should not! They don't like it. Those spots are reserved to "real" artists... AWESOME, you have the best ideas!
Morgan: I know!
Wolfie had a secret.. secret so "horrible" , if revealed, it would destroy his reputation.
He had a serious crush for Sofia Bjergsen!
But she is a "good girl".. Morgan would say "softie who most likely still plays with dolls"..
Sofia and her mom went to the cafe.
He would go upstairs, there was a small library, pretend to read something.. it's not too weird, isn't it? He can read too.. comics at least!
Just that there was no comics in that library...
As I said, taking this light, I do not know when posting the next part But it's a start
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Great that you are playing Wolfie as a teen. As you know, I have a soft spot for him. I love that there is now a wall that the "Watcher" built between Wolfie and Lucas' rooms. Finally, right? And Gunther...yeah, leave home already. Oh my, my, my, Wolfie has a crush on Sofia! Good vs. Bad. Love it Love the make-overs on Morgan, Wolfie and Sofia. Very nice! Great up-date.
I love how he is in love with Sofia and it's his dark secret, also very nice to have Morgan and his whole family around too! I like the jabs at poor sad Gunther and so nice of you to give Lucas his wall!
Ugh, Elsa, his childhood friend, who was nice no matter how rude Max always was. Also, of course she would volunteer to be the school mascot.
(Actually most of her roommates are the school mascot )
Max may have hated most people, but he did know how to appreciate a beautiful woman, and Bianca, one of Elsa's roommates, certainly did catch his eye...
And for all his treachery, he did actually know how to be quite charming.
Later, back the dorms, he was doing schoolwork, but it was such a bore that he decided to take some risks.
He was never too rushed to stop for a good maniacal laugh.
Wow, those professors are fast. What a shame it didn't work...
Pranking a toilet lifted his spirits.
Being evil works up the appetite, but there was something strange in these cookies...
They made him want to woo Bianca immediately.
Ugh, Elsa, not now. He literally doesn't give a hoot about your love life - in fact, his best advice was to break up with his obnoxiously kind roommate.
Max had all the moves.
To get exactly what he wanted.
But after Bianca left, he noticed another lovely specimen out streaking, and really, who was stopping him from looking? Monogamy was so boring after all...
----
The Villainous Valentine Aspiration is very hard, but I'm trying to chip away it in between doing Chief of Mischief.
@Belalucina@SoulGal7@permanentrose , thank you very much
It just happened that Sofia was walking next to the gym, when I made him say hi, and Wolfie got that HSY crush popup
I have deleted all other premades but Windenburg ones. To keep it simple.
@SoulGal7 , I still saw Sakura about everywhere when I still played Babs in that other challenge.
Great updates everyone!! I may not comment much every time, but awesomes out always
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

CLEMENT FROST - A TROUBLED LIFE

I don't have much yet, but its a start
After a long drive to Britechester, Max arrived at the dorms, his new home. But... He didn't really look too thrilled.
(Max) "What is this place? It's so... Ugly in here? I mean, I have standards, man..."
Nothing to do about it, young boy! You just gotta roll with it!
Max got even more disappointed as he walked into his new dorm room.
(Max) "My dorm room looks even worse than the hallway... Wait, two more beds?? I'm SHARING rooms?!"
He tried to find something nice in this hellhole, but was met with disappointment after disappointment. Eventually he reached the (also shared) bathroom.
(Max) "There's gonna be a lot of changes around here..."
(Max) "... Starting with myself."
(Man in the shower) "Hey man, can you pass me the soap?"
(Max) "Oh my god..."
Oh no, @mcrudd , sorry to hear about your mouse. Better the mouse than the computer though. Good thing you can get a new one.
@permanentrose awesome, thanks!
@permanentrose -
@Skeilah -
@mcrudd - So sorry your mouse broke and you can't play, but looking forward to your up-date when you post.
Great updates, everyone

Lazy sunday mornin, Mila was cooking breakfast for her "boys".
Wolfie: I am still a teen, I am supposed to live at home... but you are an old dude.. still eating here what mom cooks!
Gunther: I study in university!! It's expensive.
Wolfie: For how long? Another 8 years?
Gunther: .....
Mila: Boys, boys.. stop fighting... Wolfie has a point there though..
Lucas: I am glad I am the normal one! And Watcher made my wish come true, and build me a wall!
Gunther went to "study"...
Mila to write her cookbook.
Wolfie needed to get out!
Escape from home, that was what he needed! He met with his friend, Morgan at the cafe.
Wolfie: Hey what's this?
Wolfie: Gotcha!
Morgan: Heyyy!!!!
Morgan: BOO!
Wolfie: Heyyyy!!!
Both: We are the best!
Morgan: Dad is in there, let's go somewhere else.. Lets go spraying at gym!
Wolfie: We really should not! They don't like it. Those spots are reserved to "real" artists... AWESOME, you have the best ideas!
Morgan: I know!
Wolfie had a secret.. secret so "horrible" , if revealed, it would destroy his reputation.
He had a serious crush for Sofia Bjergsen!
But she is a "good girl".. Morgan would say "softie who most likely still plays with dolls"..
Sofia and her mom went to the cafe.
He would go upstairs, there was a small library, pretend to read something.. it's not too weird, isn't it? He can read too.. comics at least!
Just that there was no comics in that library...
As I said, taking this light, I do not know when posting the next part
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

@mcrudd shame about your mouse, I hope you get that sorted out soon!
(Actually most of her roommates are the school mascot
Max may have hated most people, but he did know how to appreciate a beautiful woman, and Bianca, one of Elsa's roommates, certainly did catch his eye...
And for all his treachery, he did actually know how to be quite charming.
Later, back the dorms, he was doing schoolwork, but it was such a bore that he decided to take some risks.
He was never too rushed to stop for a good maniacal laugh.
Wow, those professors are fast. What a shame it didn't work...
Pranking a toilet lifted his spirits.
Being evil works up the appetite, but there was something strange in these cookies...
They made him want to woo Bianca immediately.
Ugh, Elsa, not now. He literally doesn't give a hoot about your love life - in fact, his best advice was to break up with his obnoxiously kind roommate.
Max had all the moves.
To get exactly what he wanted.
But after Bianca left, he noticed another lovely specimen out streaking, and really, who was stopping him from looking? Monogamy was so boring after all...

The Villainous Valentine Aspiration is very hard, but I'm trying to chip away it in between doing Chief of Mischief.
It just happened that Sofia was walking next to the gym, when I made him say hi, and Wolfie got that HSY crush popup
I have deleted all other premades but Windenburg ones. To keep it simple.
@SoulGal7 , I still saw Sakura about everywhere when I still played Babs in that other challenge.
