I have noticed a lil' trend going on where people like to swap Dustin and Dirk. Dustin is a bad boy, and Lilith looks like a rebel. While Dirk is studious and Angela seems to be a goody two shoes. I have never thought abotu swaping the couples, because to me Angela is putting on a facade, while to me Lilith is just an book that you shouldn't judge by its cover. I wanna know what the majority of you think about it.

They never seem to want each other when in University.
I like Angela with Dustin, because they have two big similarities:
- Their love for nature
Angela's bios mentions she wants to work on a fish trawler. Now childhood dream jobs come and go, but she will always retain a love for the sea, sailing and fishing. Meanwhile Dustin's One True Hobby is Nature, that includes fishing. Ta-daa, many happy picnic dates at the local park!
- Their devotion to their family
Dustin carrys the whole household on his back with his job, while Brandi scolds him for his "bad" grades in a scripted scene (he is a solid C student, though). It is also implied in his memories that he fought Gordon King ones, most likely to fend the burglar off. Now Dustin has to work for Gordon to ensure he leaves the trailer (and within the mementos of Skip) alone.
On the same leaf Angela puts on a facade for the outside world, keeping up pretentions that everything is well in her family. Not just that, she tries to be the perfect daughter.
I feel like Dirk brings out the good in Lilith and both of them bonded over the difficult things they were going through in their lives. Every time I play with them, Lilith moves in with the Dreamer family while still a teen. Even if she and Dirk don't stay together through university, they still remain friends and I find them to be so sweet together either way. In one of my games Lilith ended up with Johnny Smith and Ophelia Specter, and Dirk was best friends with all three of them. Eventually I just moved him in and he helped take care of their kids.
As for Angela, I agree that she's putting on a facade but because of the pressure by her parents who are trying to put her on a pedestal and make her this perfect ideal daughter, and so she's dating Dustin as a way of acting out against them. They rarely stay together in my game, Angela usually breaks up with him when she goes to uni and either finds someone else or stays single. In the same Pleasantview-Strangetown game as before she ended up with Tank Grunt, which I feel is kind of perfect because they both know what it's like to be pressured by their parents to be a certain way.
To elaborate further, just like the L/D and A/D mix both have a deceased parent, both are either a problemchild or a do-gooder and on both spectrums of poverty. They're perfect at being standins for either Pleasant.
It just works.
so yeah i would not change the match up if i were to play them again

They might pair up, anyway, but I usually fill the dormitories with playable sims, meaning I might get surprised.
In fact, I play a little game in the Pleasant household. For a start, Lilith is the first downstairs followed by Angela. Before Angela gets a chance to poke or whatever she plans to Lilith, Lilith picks up the phone to move to college.
As for Lilith and Dirk, they had a complicated on again off again thing. After Mary-Sue kicked Daniel to the curb, she embarked on a life of crime and took up with Dirk who became her partner in crime. They ended up marrying, but Lilith never completely got over him. She and Dirk had an affair at one point which resulted in twins. When Mary-Sue realized they were Dirk's she kicked Lilith out of the house and raised Lilah and Damien as her own. Dirk and Lilith never got back together after that point. Dirk had to work hard to get back into Mary-Sue's good graces and Lilith ended up wandering around the woods with her Dad.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
