Juliette Capp - Freshmann Year

Juliette Capp has just arrived at Casteroff Dorms, probably her home for the next four years while she studies at Veronaville's Académie Le Tour. She appears to have age-transitioned in her younger sister Hermia's outfit, and since it is winter, she'll need something warmer anyway.

To remind you of the four playable students already here: There's Miranda Capp, a Sophomore like Jace Lee, former NPC townie. Puck Summerdream has just started his Junior Year, while Mercutio Monty is the oldest student at the dorm and the only Senior.

Juliette has to wait until one of the NPC students moves out and then claims her room on the upper floor. There is no wardrobe, only a cheap and rather uncomfortable bed, a desk, a chair and a wall lamp.

With the scholarships she collected while still at home, Juliette can afford a much better bed, a bedside table and lamp as well as a wardrobe. 

She is then off to class and only afterwards can sit down in the cafeteria for her first meal. Jace Lee joins her at the table.

Miranda had to leave for class the moment Juliette arrived, but now the two cousins and good friends can catch up. 

Juliette discovers the arcade game in the upstairs common room and has some fun at it.

The next day, she has a chat with Mercutio Monty, older brother of Romeo, who was her teenage sweetheart. 

Romeo is still a teenager, living at the family home in Veronaville and waiting for his turn on the alphabetical list before he can join Juliette at college - by then, unfortunately Juliette will be quite a bit ahead of him.

It will be interesting to see whether the two are going to pick up where their teenage romance left off. For now, it seems that Mercutio is quite pleased with Juliette's company - he keeps rolling wishes for her, such as play with, entertain and admire her.

Just like last year, it seems the Campus Coach has it in for Mercutio. Never mind, the young man can always do with another body skill. 

Juliette as the new girl observes and learns: That's the school cheer... 

...and this is the Smustle. 

The visiting student here is of course Roxie Sharpe - I forgot that she and Mercutio are together, it's been so long since I last played them. 

The Campus Coach seems to despair over Mercutio's seeming inability to follow his instructions (or should I say commands). 

This first semester just flew by, and before she knows it, Juliette is sitting her exam along with the others. All five return with A+ grades, their names on the Dean's List and the full grants, bringing their joint account up to over 27,500 Simoleons. 

It is the second half of Juliette's Freshman Year, and I find her looking at Mercutio here with a fond expression. So far, the two of them are good friends but not show any romantic tendencies towards each other, and I hope it stays that way. 

Miranda is hugely popular with the boys, as is obvious the next morning when both Puck and Mercutio visit her in her room... 

...while Jace, her boyfriend, is patiently watching them from the hallway doing the school cheer. 

Winter is in full swing, and enough snow has fallen for the students to build a snowman outside the dorm. The streaker is apparently not stopped by the cold! 

Juliette shows herself to be a true Family Sim, thinking of getting engaged... but a) it's still only her first year at college and b) she does not seem to have anyone particular in mind. 

Puck joins her at her table at the cafeteria and talks about scholarships. 

I am always glad to see Roxie; she comes by on her own accord, visiting her boyfriend Mercutio. 

The second half of Juliette's Freshman Year went by very quickly (last but not least because I played it almost entirely on fast forward). 

All five students end the year with A+ grades, their names on the Dean's List and the full grants. Mercutio has just graduated, Puck is now starting his Senior Year. Miranda and Jace have just become Juniors, while Juliette is now a Sophomore.

Again, I didn't send the students to a community lot; their classes are all at different hours and it would have upset everyone's schedules, not going for their exams all so neatly at the same time.

It is unfortunate that Romeo won't start college for a while yet, and with my way of playing Juliette might very well already have graduated by the time he arrives. Or I could have him skip college entirely (I know this usually give a Sim a bad memory) and catch up with his teenage love when she returns home.
