Rosemary Sage Succeeds

Rosemary Sage, who had been created to fail, and who had been subjected to an experiment to see just how difficult it is to get expelled from Copperdale High School, graduated from Foxbury Institute with a degree in Psychology.

Rosemary worked hard. Classes took effort. She didn’t always get top grades, but she succeeded in graduating with a “GPA” of A+.

She took four Wednesday to Wednesday semesters to meet the graduation requirement. She took 3 classes, then 4 classes, then 3 classes, and then 2 classes. (I find that that works best for most Sims.)

The free food provided in the dorm bathroom got better. No longer just cakes and cookies, the dorm was given Monte Cristo sandwiches, roast chickens, omelets, and Lobster Thermador.

Whoever was providing this food seemed to enjoy hiding it in unexpected places. Rosemary developed the Squeamish trait during her stay at University.

Rosemary thought she hadn’t developed a close relationship with her housemates back in Evergreen Harbor. Her housemates seemed to think otherwise. Corina Page stopped by the dorm often.

Rosemary’s close friend, Venus Vann Ironforge, was also a frequent guest. I can’t find any screenshots of that.

Rosemary continued to date Etsuko Hashimoto in an exclusive, but non-committed, romantic relationship.

Rosemary and Etsuko hung out together on weekends.

To celebrate Night on the Town, when all food is free, they went on a fancy date to that faux-Latin restaurant, El Banana Azul.

Etsuko spent occasional nights in Rosemary’s dorm room (which, you may recall, used to be Etsuko’s dorm room).

Etsuko Hashimoto was a homeless and unemployed NPC, so their more intimate romantic activities were usually in the dorm showers or other public locations.

Rosemary continued to earn a few simoleons selling stuff she’d collected.

(That Sim in the green swimsuit is Kris Ogawa-Moon, who had been expelled from Copperdale High School for no reason, which prompted Rosemary’s experiment. And there’s Corina Page by the fire.)

Mostly, though, Rosemary Sage made the most of her free time by simply being alone.

Venus Vann Ironforge, on behalf of the entire Goth Robards household, gave Rosemary 20,000 simoleons as a graduation gift.

Corina Page gave Rosemary a graduation gift as well. It was the portrait Rosemary took in the photo booth on The Pier but forgot to pack when she moved out.

(If that seems like a stingy gift, remember: Rosemary took almost all of the household funds with her when she moved out.)

Rosemary spent the 20,000 simoleon gift on a tiny house on an island in Windenburg.

(Phillip and I designed that house together a long time ago.)

She bought the house furnished, and plans to keep it pretty much the way it is.

Although she’d been expelled from Copperdale High, Rosemary’s University degree opened up every career choice.

She used her Psychology degree to jump-start a career in Education. She’s starting as a university professor.

She may get her High School degree online someday.
