what's noor's and payton's story or is that gonna be shown on the show?

A lot of their story happened waaaay before they got married, so that won't be on the show.

This is gonna be so long omg. I'll try to shorten it.

TW: Substance abuse

Noor and Payton's story doesn't start with them. It starts with their parents. Valerie and Scott Bierman are Noor's parents. They met in grad school at Ubrite. Valerie was best friends with Payton's mom, Chelsea Dietrich. Chelsea was on track to get her law degree when she met Payton's dad. An older and richer married man she was interning with. He also had children. Chelsea would babysit for them regularly and developed a friendship with his wife. Eventually, their work relationship developed into a more intimate one. Soon enough Chelsea was pregnant with Payton. About a year after Val had Noor. They still remained close. Things were cool for a few years until Chelsea got pregnant with Penny. (They're about 10 years apart) Payton's dad's wife knew something was up then. Instead of confronting her about it, she started drugging her. Slip something into her food here and there. It got to a point where Chelsea was no longer able to work and was a full blown addict. Payton's dad cut her off and left the kids with her. Chelsea wasn't in a place to care for them and wouldn't allow Val to help her get clean, so she left Penny and Payton with Val. They didn't grow up like siblings though. They fought like crazy. Noor's got a mouth on her fr and Payton was not having it.

As they grew up Payton went pro, got full custody of his little sister Penny, and has a very close relationship with the Biermans ever since. They're his family. Noor became a celebrity stylist and took Payton on as a client. They have been close since they were kids, but they didn't have a Lou & Imogen style storyline. Payton has been engaged 4 times before. (Baby when I say Payton got around.. HE GOT AROUNDDDDD. He was wilding in my gameplay lmao) Noor's been engaged once before. They hooked up after a drunken night out with friends while Payton was engaged to his previous fiancé, Cat Levesque. Payton broke off their engagement. He and Noor dated for two years, then they got engaged. Fast forward to now, they have their first baby on the way.

Oh! Yeah and eventually Chelsea completed rehab and got back on her feet. She's been working on her relationship with Penny and Payton. They regularly attend family therapy. Noor's been a big supporter of them mending their relationship. Payton's father and his side of the family have no relationship with any of them.

That's the short version of their story lol.

My thoughts on University under the cut...

It was fun but I found it to be a lot of work. lol I ended up speeding her through doing her homework and classes and sleeping, and literally anything else. Actually, I don’t think she even slept that much because she was always studying or doing her homework. Four classes might have been a bit much and maybe if she had chosen less she would have had time to do more things but to be honest there isn’t a lot to do around campus. I tried numerous times to get her into the Secret Society but after many baked goods later and even an offering of an uncommon crystal, she heard nothing from them. I saw them once come up to her dorm but there was no option/action to try to get her into it. 

I also found this pack to be super glitchy, the other students/dorm mates are absolute slobs and hardly ever clean up, and everything breaks all the time. The loading screen between her going back to her dorm from the Ubrite commons and vice-versa is annoying and unnecessary (literally a 300mtr walk), textbooks and homework you have to rebuy if sims forget to put it back in their inventory. The eco action plans should be disabled for university because I think this really has no relevance while a sim is enrolled. And lastly random townie sims should not be able to just visit the university unless they are actually enrolled. Maybe it had something to do with her being famous, I dunno but she had so many visits from sims that weren’t even enrolled.

After 3 terms (and three seasons) it makes me wonder if Penny would have worked her way up in her chosen career/job in the same time it took her to complete the degree. I guess it depends on how you chose to play the game and why your sim is going to university, for the experience or for the degree.

Penny woke up the next morning, her last day at UBrite, feeling on top of the world. She had finally successfully completed her distinguished History degree and with honors XD

Penny stood in line to enter the Debate Showdown but the two sims debating never stepped away from the podiums so she ended up completing her homework instead

[memoirsofasim]

After all Penny’s hard work in term one she received a GPA of A+ for all four of her classes! Woo! Afterwards she joined the UBrite pre-game celebration to wind down :)
