Danielle Smith: Junior Year

Strangetown has really grown a lot, and we're not ready yet to leave the town but are going to spend a semester at La Fiesta Tech's Tri Fruhm Sorority.
There, we will spend the second half of her Junior Year with (relative) newcomer Danielle Smith - moved in by DJ Verse because of the Smith family residing in Strangetown.

Danielle is a Fortune Sim who dreams of seeing six pets reach the top of their careers - not a lifetime want that involves just leaning back and watching the pets do all the work. Once she'll have graduated in Philosophy (she never rolled the wish for a specific major), there will plenty of work for her, taking care of the pets she will have to adopt or buy.

The other sisters living at the house right now are Tiffany Riley, who can be seen in the background at the chess table...

... Sarah Love and DJ Verse, both Seniors...

... as well as Jessie Pilferson, also a Senior, and Shenene Kim, another relatively recent move-in.

Danielle writes her Term Paper at the pink computer upstairs, pizza at hand.

She is then left pretty much to her own devices, and it is nice seeing the girls spend time together.

I have everyone make phonecalls on a daily base to establish and maintain those all-important friendships. Not all conversations go well, as is obvious from Danielle's face here.

Although she does not do a lot of housework on her own initiative, every now and then she does something without being asked to, such as throwing out the empty pizza cartons that can often be found on one of the desks or in the kitchen.

The campus coach is never far away, and today, first Shenene is ordered to work out...

... and then Danielle. Apart from her default hairstyle for everyday wear (the long brown hair with the pink hat), her other hairstyles were inconsistent and ugly. I have changed that now, and I believe doing her hair up in a tight knot for sports and swimming is more realistic than the chin-length cut she had been given by Maxis.

DJ and Jessie have just graduated, both Summa Cum Laude; DJ in Literature and Jessie in Psychology. Well done, ladies!

Danielle is good friends with Tiffany.

Sarah Love is next to graduate. Hardly surprising, her diploma in Biology also has "Summa Cum Laude" written on it.

Danielle wants to improve her cooking, and the girls politely eat the slightly overdone pancakes she serves them for breakfast the next morning.

 DJ has her graduation party but is not all that interested in her guests - apart from her boyfriend River Smith, of course, who is another "relative" of Danielle's.

After the party, Danielle waves goodbye to the "sister" who originally asked her to join the sorority and move in with the sisters.

Next to throw her graduation party is Jessie.

Having slept through Jessie's party and with 15 hours before her final exam as a Junior. Danielle wakes up all refreshed and ready to tackle the night. (I have also adapted her hairstyle for underwear and nightwear; now it really is the same hair just without the hat.)

She's just gotten up in time to wave Jessie goodbye.

Blossom Moonbeam is now a full member of the sorority and can be asked to move in.

Good old Sarah! Even on the day of her graduation party, she can't leave the cleaning to her sisters.

But eventually, she dons her robe and mortar board, and her party begins.

Before she leaves campus for good, she does her sorority one last service and asks Blossom to move in.

Danielle has just returned from her exam - her Senior Year starts now!

With Sarah boarding the taxi to Strangetown, the last of the original "sisters" leaves, but the sorority is still going strong.

This was only a short stint; because of the girls having joined the sorority at various times, Danielle was only played for this one semester. We'll of course be back here for Shenene Kim, Blossom Moonbeam and Tiffany Riley - and there will be more move-ins.

Now I have to find suitable houses in Strangetown for DJ, Jessie and Sarah.
