Vera Looney has had a perfect life until she lost both parents in tragic accidents. Her brother, Roger, blames Vera for their death and his aborted college career, so their relationship has suffered. They had to sell their family home and move to a smaller place but have not yet fully furnished it. Roger's college friend, Ian Richy has moved in with them to help with the finances and hopefully mend their rift.

After her parents demise Vera developed a bipolar disorder that has her first in a deep depression, then in a manic high. Vera is a knowledge aspiration Sim and has spent her entire life to this point learning everything she could about everything, but now she wonders if it was worth it. Her unhappiness shows in her bad behavior; sneaking out and not going to school or work. She needs to turn her life around and get back on the fast track to college.

This is part one of a two part challenge. In part one Vera is a teenager with a thirst for knowledge. It requires only the University expansion pack.

Note: The second part of this challenge will be easier to complete if you take the opportunity offered at the end of the sophomore year to change Vera's aspiration to fortune.

In part two Vera has completed college, changed her aspiration to fortune and is looking for the money; big money. Part two requires both the University and Open For Business expansion packs. If you have completed this Challenge, continue Vera's story now by starting the "Rags to Riches: Show Me the Money" Challenge!
