Sharpe Stories: The life and legacy of Monica Sharpe
Hey everyone. I've been wanting to do two things recently: play with aging on, and start a gameplay story thread. I figured, why not do both at the same time? One of my favorite sims to play is my ...
Yes. I thought about getting that mod for faster homework, so that Monica will have more time, but then I think back to when I was in college, and spent nearly twelve hours a day doing homework and studying. So...It's pretty realistic lol. :#
It was the first day of class. Monica got up early and went on her morning jog. https://i.imgur.com/4uksIBO.png Then she did some yoga. https://i.imgur.com/1OefEPg.png It was nearly time for class, so Monica went ahead and rode her scooter to the campus. https://i.imgur.com/5Zk6fVf.png She got some hot chocolate from a stall where Marc Rubin was working... https://i.imgur.com/t2KOPrd.png ...and then headed to class. https://i.imgur.com/KYvtQrU.png Monica took lots of notes during class, which she was certain would improve her grade. After class, she headed to the student center to get some lunch. https://i.imgur.com/saGOokG.png Monica had been seeing lots of people taking pictures of their meals on social media lately, so she thought she should do the same. https://i.imgur.com/VKAmpLt.png After eating, she did some homework. https://i.imgur.com/jpIi5i1.png She was surprised to see a familiar face! Her friend Bailey Ethington had enrolled in Britechester as well, where she was studying Art History. https://i.imgur.com/xuBirrK.png Monica and Bailey talked for a while... https://i.imgur.com/5oqPIIt.png ...then Bailey complained for a bit... https://i.imgur.com/ppRwvbu.png ...before going to do some yoga. https://i.imgur.com/IgZKzWn.png Monica tried getting back to her homework, but she was soon surrounded by a group of students who tried to talk to her. Monica enjoyed talking to them, but she didn't get very far with her studying. https://i.imgur.com/Lih8d1E.png After Monica finished her studies, she and Bailey met Jazzlyn outside, who said she was starting a yoga club. Monica and Bailey both joined, along with a few other students. https://i.imgur.com/Eo89Ykl.png When Monica got home, she video chatted with Jeb for a while... https://i.imgur.com/6aioPsS.png ...then she called Summer... https://i.imgur.com/pUDJorK.png ...Then she texted her mom. https://i.imgur.com/uI6owcY.png Monica had decided to start a vlog channel, so she went downstairs and began recording. https://i.imgur.com/oZnePX6.png Unfortunately, she didn't get to finish, as it got too late and she had more classes the next day. Instead, she finished her homework... https://i.imgur.com/InZBchJ.png ...ate dinner... https://i.imgur.com/7J7bOU9.png ...brushed her teeth... https://i.imgur.com/71H8kw1.png ...and went to bed. https://i.imgur.com/WZ1rv6f.png
Monica's alarm clock rang early the next morning. It was actually the same time it always rang, but for some reason, it seemed earlier this morning. https://i.imgur.com/MSg68hA.png She got up and did her morning stretches. https://i.imgur.com/rLvvJ3i.png Monica wasn't really sure how her bathroom sink got so dirty, but she cleaned it before brushing her teeth. https://i.imgur.com/1TWqSso.png After choosing an outfit... https://i.imgur.com/oNTO7iG.png ...Monica got on her scooter and rode to the campus. https://i.imgur.com/QWy8s4X.png She did her morning jog at the campus this morning. She thought a change of scenery might be nice. https://i.imgur.com/ni7lHum.png Then she got some coffee from Marc's stall. https://i.imgur.com/Bp9gx6z.png After drinking her coffee, she had a quick snack from her lunch bag with some orange juice. https://i.imgur.com/fVj91hS.png Monica checked her social media, before heading to class. https://i.imgur.com/3U7ctlK.png After a long few hours, her classes were finally done, and she had a few hours worth of homework waiting to be completed. Knowing this would be a long day, Monica sat down at the student center and got to work. https://i.imgur.com/ihrrXID.png She told Jazzlyn all about the homework she'd been assigned, "I don't think I'm taking four classes next semester. I think I'll just take two next time," Monica said. https://i.imgur.com/uZ56SXQ.png The student center was getting a bit crowded... https://i.imgur.com/r4Ea9dV.png ...so Monica went for a walk and looked for a quieter place to study. https://i.imgur.com/8VWXz1B.png She found a bench on the other side of the campus, and decided to work on her homework there. https://i.imgur.com/wUGdYvt.png After her homework was done, she went home to work on her freelance art gig. https://i.imgur.com/ZVpCoLS.png Later, Bailey came over and they talked for a while. https://i.imgur.com/UWbLFyR.png https://i.imgur.com/f7WkFWo.png Bailey also worked on her homework. https://i.imgur.com/suKlQHq.png After Bailey left, Monica decided to have a relaxing evening after such a long day. She took a bath, painted her nails... https://i.imgur.com/JKF2qKC.png ...and made a healthy dinner. https://i.imgur.com/b3C35tr.png https://i.imgur.com/v4X9sUj.png https://i.imgur.com/6blw8n5.png https://i.imgur.com/f2cRjwR.png After brushing her teeth, she climbed into bed, feeling refreshed and ready for the next day.
The next morning, Monica headed downstairs to work on her class presentation immediately after getting up. She knew it would take her a while, and she wanted to get a head start, since she also had to write two term papers, and complete a final exam. https://i.imgur.com/r7sguY5.png https://i.imgur.com/88GrhGY.png She got a little distracted by her phone... https://i.imgur.com/zcWbTBx.png but then she looked at the scouting trophies on the shelf behind her, "You can do this, Monica," she told herself, "You were the best Llamacorn scout in the whole troop! You've got this!" https://i.imgur.com/KT2BH66.png With that, she went upstairs to brush her teeth... https://i.imgur.com/mgpPU9u.png ...and change her outfit. https://i.imgur.com/TYRR4Hj.png She worked as hard as she could on her presentation. https://i.imgur.com/aWcP4wl.png It wasn't long before she completed it. "It's still missing something," she thought. https://i.imgur.com/KxmJc84.png "Perfect!" she said to herself, knowing that it wasn't actually perfect, but that she was well satisfied with her work. https://i.imgur.com/SJBzYqS.png Monica ate a salad for lunch... https://i.imgur.com/QApDof2.png ...before going for her long overdue morning jog. https://i.imgur.com/bnFJWSc.png She called Jeb to tell him how things were going. He said that he'd been busy with the farm, and that he couldn't wait to see her again. https://i.imgur.com/2nDMNK3.png She stopped by the local spa, where a yoga class was taking place. Jazzlyn was there as well. https://i.imgur.com/noAZfTb.png Monica wasn't used to some of the poses everyone was doing, but she did the best she could. https://i.imgur.com/73uCel1.png After the class was over, she went out on the balcony of the spa and worked on her term paper. She was very tired, but the cold air kept her awake enough to get some work done. https://i.imgur.com/FIAfqy5.png After several hours, she was finally done with her paper. https://i.imgur.com/Q60UEYF.png After admiring the beautiful snowy scene that was Britechester at night... https://i.imgur.com/xl7HUC1.png Monica rode her scooter home, excited to celebrate the coming of the new year. (I never realised how cool Britechester looks in the Winter at night!) https://i.imgur.com/3A8uEUA.png When she arrived home, she searched online for a store that sold fireworks, and that could deliver them to the house immediately. Thankfully, she found the correct section on SimSimStore, and ordered three. Monica was also glad that she had made enough money from her freelance work to afford them. https://i.imgur.com/pps3nvo.png She took a New Year's Eve selfie... https://i.imgur.com/Jff543i.png ...and enjoyed the fireworks. https://i.imgur.com/5VAVsmo.png https://i.imgur.com/Ztin25q.png This one made her a little nervous. https://i.imgur.com/ZYEgPS7.png When Midnight came near, Monica went inside to watch the New Year's Countdown. https://i.imgur.com/yYqoH6B.png Happy New Years! Monica also decided on a New Years Resolution: To write a book. It was something that she had wanted to do for a while. She didn't know how she'd have time in between her classes, but she was going to try. https://i.imgur.com/FXbvbrl.png
The next morning, Monica had breakfast... https://i.imgur.com/vcsAnfN.png ...did some freelance work... https://i.imgur.com/KoXTjua.png ...and went on her morning jog. https://i.imgur.com/M1o5um8.png After going to her class... https://i.imgur.com/mnlzxx9.png ...Monica worked on her other term paper. https://i.imgur.com/jRN7hrn.png When she got home, she was able to buy a larger TV after doing her freelance art. https://i.imgur.com/2HFWb9S.png She was also able to finish her vlog! https://i.imgur.com/hArHsfT.png (The camera view) https://i.imgur.com/DAbgVQX.png https://i.imgur.com/K4JzAFh.png She got into bed that night, proud of herself. She only had one more day of class before she completed her first term at Britechester! https://i.imgur.com/nmRJj0H.png
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for reading!
https://i.imgur.com/qhqCij8.png No, Principal Prescott, I don't think you should ask Santa Claus out on a date lol.
Monica decided on her own to look at those scouting trophies. Apparently, she needed a little motivation.
Bailey actually showed up at Monica's house on the first day Monica moved to Britechester, so I moved her in the house down the road and enrolled her.
Jazzlyn was a sim from my previous save. She one one of Monica's best friends, so I thought I should add her to this save as well. She was actually an npc at the spa in Windenburg when Monica met her in that save.
This sim decided to do her homework on the table in the student lounge. At first it surprised me, and then I remembered that sims at University have a habit of getting stuck on top of tables and counters for some reason.
As you can probably tell, Monica brushes her teeth a lot. I don't often have my sims brush their teeth, but since I downloaded the Dental Care mod by adeepindigo, brushing is a necessity, just like in real life.
I've yet to play the next day, so I don't know how Monica's grades will turn out. I had her email her professors and they all said that she was doing very well, except for the class where she had the final exam. I forgot to have her study for it!
Monica's mom called her and asked if she could come visit her, but Monica had to say no, as getting on a plane and flying back home on the day of the final exam is not something she could do. https://i.imgur.com/IaFXU1c.png Monica was sad for a while, but her mom seemed to understand. https://i.imgur.com/o7MW3KI.png
