Sarah Love - Sophomore Year

We have been at the Tri-Fruhm Sorority house before. It is part of Strangetown's La Fiesta Tech, and this time we're here for... 

...Sarah Love, as her name is next on my alphabetical list. She is a Sophomore just like Jessica Pilferson and DJ Verse, her fellow "sisters". Monica Bratford is the oldest of the four, already in her Junior Year.

As usual, it is skilling time for everyone at the start of the semester.

Less pizza is brought from campus this year, it seems; every now and then, someone will prepare a meal on their own accord; mostly spaghetti.

But you can tell from a glimpse of the living room that the house is not as spic and span as the girls would like it to be - books and red paper cups are everywhere. What to do? 

Well, let's have pizza before we think about it, shall we!

The next day, Sarah greets Tiffany Riley, a fellow student most of the sorority members know but not all are friends with yet.

And here is the solution to the girls' cleaning "problem": Simply ask someone to pledge and then have them do all the work! 

Danielle Smith, the student who pledged last semester, is invited over frequently. 

As before, it often happens that Sarah and Monica are in the kitchen at the same time. They get along very well and share many of their views and values (maybe not their sense of dress).

Finally, Danielle's pledge period is over, and DJ promptly asks her to move in - and equally promptly, she accepts. 

Danielle Smith, former Townie Teen sent to college by me; she adds 1,000 Simoleons to the sorority's account. Her aspiration is Fortune and she dreams of having 6 pets reach the top of their career. 

Yep, it's Monica and Sarah again, happening to be hungry at the same time and sharing a platter of grilled cheese sandwiches. 

Oh dear, Monica - you really have overdone the dieting and working out, haven't you! (This truly looks horrible, but it is only a fraction of a second - a moment later, the "I'm fit!" action is over, and Monica looks "normal" again - for a Sim.) 

For a reason I can't remember properly (did it have anything to do with Sarah's boyfriend Matthew Hart?), Jessica and Sarah have been mad at each other for some time now. But Sarah wants to patch things up with her "sister" and talks to her privately in a quiet moment. (She really went to apologize on her own accord, and then I had them talk some more.)

Danielle - here without her customary pink hat - is getting to know those members of the sorority she wasn't friends with already. 

On the day of her end-of-term exam, Sarah pays the bills and looks less than happy to find the snow more than ankle deep.

DJ, Monica and Jessie have all finished their exams with A+ and spots on the Dean's List. 

Monica and Sarah (again these two) have just sat down for a meal when a streaker appears. "Hi Moni!" he waves. Monica just stares him down, and he leaves without another word. 

With winter well and truly here, the girls light the fire and put up a Christmas wreath.

It is dark by the time Sarah returns from her exam, as successfully as her "sisters".

DJ invites her boyfriend River Smith over. The two spruce up their meal of spaghetti with glasses of champagne to toast the end of one and the start of another semester. 

Sarah seems to be really pleased to find leftover pizza in the kitchen when she gets up.

Tiffany Riley has fulfilled her Pledge period and is now a full member of the Sorority. But not just that - she has also just accepted Jessie's invitation to move in! 

Tiffany is a Romance Sim who sees herself as future City Planner. She only adds 500 Simoloens to the girls' joint account and has nothing in her inventory. Welcome to the world of playables, Tiffany!

Upstairs, Sarah is trying hard to focus on her Term Paper - not easy when Danielle and DJ are sharing gossip about Tank Grunt right next to her! 

Later, Danielle and Tiffany get talking. "We two newbies are going to stay around long after the other girls have graduated and moved back to Strangetown," Tiffany states. "You're right there!" Danielle exclaims.

The final day of the semester is here! Monica, DJ and Jessie have already left for their exams, but Sarah's is scheduled a little later. She takes advantage of the last couple of hours and asks Matthew over. Spring has just begun, putting kissing and flirting on her mind, and she does just that.

It is dark by the time she returns from her exam; no surprise there: She has done as well as her "sisters" and is now a Junior. Well done everyone!

I was pleased to see Sarah and Jessie making an effort to be friends again, and directed them a little until their inexplicable enmity was forgotten.

Two newcomers at the Sorority, and new playables at that - they will make sure that the sorority won't end with the original playables graduating.

There was never a suitable time for them all to visit a community lot, and the one time I let them have a Toga party (as per nearly everyone's wish), my game crashed and I had to play an entire day again.
