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 ...
Monica was thankful to have earned an 'A+' on all of her classes the first semester. https://i.imgur.com/dAcPwm8.png Her second semester was going well. She still had a lot of homework, as she'd decided to take four classes again, despite how much work it was. She was determined to finish her degree before the first day of summer. https://i.imgur.com/WyIrPDi.png She also worked on her presentation early in the week, she wanted to be sure and get ahead this time. https://i.imgur.com/rDPmD5O.png When she began to feel a bit lonely the second day, she went to visit Bailey. https://i.imgur.com/MkphLZZ.png She also joined in a game of soccer with Bailey and some other students at the campus. https://i.imgur.com/VjXSAHN.png She studied some more at one of the park benches. She had learned that the park benches were usually quiet, and she could focus better. https://i.imgur.com/Serv4R6.png Monica heard about a tea and poetry reading at the Britechester Student Center, and decided to go. https://i.imgur.com/MN9ffU3.png https://i.imgur.com/1RvMSsG.png She enjoyed listening to everyone read poetry, but was a little nervous to try it herself. https://i.imgur.com/FHljS3X.png When it came her turn, she decided to go for it. https://i.imgur.com/tqBVFim.png Only a couple of students watched, but they seemed to enjoy it. https://i.imgur.com/TIRrnv3.png After the poetry reading, Monica was feeling inspired! So inspired, that she decided to finish that book she'd been working on for her New Year's resolution! https://i.imgur.com/iR8YR8n.png After several hours of writing, she finally finished it! https://i.imgur.com/TkVwXIK.png https://i.imgur.com/cA5mPEV.png Monica sent it off to the publisher as soon as she arrived home. https://i.imgur.com/WR7sSo7.png
The next day, after her morning jog, Monica began to feel a bit dizzy. She passed it off as being out in the cold weather for too long, and continued studying. https://i.imgur.com/4WXFFPR.png After studying, she worked on refining her presentation some more. https://i.imgur.com/tkyXIn4.png Before long, it was done! https://i.imgur.com/NA34b8m.png Monica began to get dizzy again, and realized that she was, in fact, getting sick, so she drink some orange juice. https://i.imgur.com/bMync7W.png Red squiggly spots were definitely not normal. https://i.imgur.com/xMMuCIG.png After having a relaxing bath, (which, as Monica had hoped, helped the red spots) she worked on her homework some more. https://i.imgur.com/h3QM4rg.png Then her computer broke. Because of course it did. And to make matters worse, she forgot to press "save"! https://i.imgur.com/gCAC88s.png She called the repair service, who said they would be right over. Monica began to feel dizzy again, but it passed quickly. https://i.imgur.com/zcdsRrh.png It wasn't long before the repair person showed up, and Monica's computer was as good as new! https://i.imgur.com/zEHQ4wH.png This time, Monica would remember to save her work more often. https://i.imgur.com/I3jfQ7v.png After finishing her studying for the day, Monica climbed into bed, hoping that a good night's rest would leave her feeling better the next morning. https://i.imgur.com/zITt1oC.png
Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Author's Notes
I decided that I wanted to finish Monica's degree quickly, so she's taking the maximum amount of classes until she graduates. If everything goes well, she should finish before the first day of summer.
Unless something particularly interesting happens, I may not post another chapter until she graduates, as most of her time will have to be spent studying and, in her spare time, doing her freelance work. I may just post again on her graduation day. Her classes will honestly pass quicker too if I'm not trying to take screenshots all the time, so it won't be a long wait. (I'll still take a few screenshots and then probably include them in the author's notes of the graduation chapter.)

I think the text itself is from one of my mods, possibly sociable sims by plumlace? Can't remember since I have so many mods.
Monica painted these for her freelance art job. The gig description said they were for a video game.
https://i.imgur.com/1mOXQX5.png https://i.imgur.com/3TuxMi1.png She consulted Jeb over video chat about that last one, since she figured he'd have some tips on designing a farm landscape. His advice turned out to be very helpful, and the video game designers loved both concepts. https://i.imgur.com/oHV5CdI.png https://i.imgur.com/XfAyKaf.png
