The Barre Legacy | 4.4
The next installation of the Barre legacy, the very first family to play through The Board Game Challenge!
Last time with the Barre legacy, Mounds took excellent care of her plantchild and grandchildren, and got to see them all grow up at least a little before death finally defeated her and she died at age 115. Heath moved out, and Symphony, Skor, and Caramello were all ridiculously good looking children. Payday quit his job to care for them, and reached his LTW of eating 250 grilled cheese sandwiches. Pumpkin quit her job as well, and everyone got to just enjoy being a sim. We ended with Symphony's transition into a teen!
Kids and teens are SO BORING. I try giving them stuff to do to make gameplay more interesting, but they seem to thwart most attempts, haha. They just sit around and level and go to school and be boring.
Symphony is finally interacting with her siblings though, and even becoming friends with them!
:3 A cute family dinner. I am going to assume that Payday's omelette is like, half cheese.
Ho dang. Poor Pumpkin. Eating that one omelette made her fat (since plantsims don't even need to eat) and then the garbage can was knocked over by someone and cockroaches went rampant and made everyone sick. -__-
A lovely harvest for the family's fruit trees! :D They are still doing wonderfully, with Pumpkin's ability to talk them out of any funk they're having. Plantsims are so darn handy!
HEY-O, BDAY TIME FOR THE TWINS!
Clearly everyone is as excited as I am.
And both Caramello and Skor came out looking HAWT. I am pleased with this turn of events. Razor sharp toddler cheekbones mean nothing to how attractive they might be later!
Aaaand... moments later all the kids had to do their homework, and just mom and dad ate the birthday cake. LOL. You are just going to get more tubby, Pumpkin! Luckily you are adorable no matter what.
After all the homework was done, I was able to give the twins their birthday makeovers, so here is Caramello after being all dolled up!
AND WELL WELL WELL, LOOKIE HERE. Skor is one handsome devil! I like to give my aliens eyeliner to accentuate their black eyes, but without the stubble he looked too feminine. WITH stubble he's kind of a heartthrob, so I'll take it!
Yes, I know, thank you. -__-
SO. I was bored with playing all these teens, and it was Christmas Eve and all, so I had Symphony bake up a batch of cookies just because I could, haha. BUT THEN! I had the thought that I could full-out decorate for Christmas and have Santa visit! :D
@___@ CHRISTMAS. I got rid of the couch that no one ever used and put in a fireplace, and then went WILD WITH DECORATING ABANDON.
AUGH, SO CUTE.
In the middle of my festivities, though, it was time for Payday's birthday!!
Oh yeah. Christmas sweater. I went there.
SANTA!!!1!!!!
And as Santa makes his way over to the wonderful cookies that Symphony made for him... Mounds continues to be a serious butthead as a ghost. When I said I wanted more Christmas spirit, I did not mean you, Mounds. Get out.
The kids' cousin (Reeses daughter) does not understand the spirit of Christmas either, clearly. She spent the entire night harassing my kids. :| Santa didn't see to care though, because he still gave them a remote control car as a present.
Santa, Caramello is the ONLY kid actually being GOOD and compulsively cleaning the bathroom. Why are you telling her to shoo? You are a terrible Santa.
… you all suck at Christmas.
D: WELL THAT IS DISTRESSING. I leave for a moment to go make sure the other kids aren't beating the crap out of each other, and when I return to check on Santa, he and Caramello are instant best friends and he's over in a corner chuckling. I DON'T LIKE THIS.
Yeah, then he pretty much proceeded to pee in my toilet about 12 times and clog it, all while continuing to chuckle. This is not how I imagined an evening with Santa.
WHAT KIND OF SANTA JUST WALKS AWAY AS SOMEONE CHOKES AND PASSES OUT??? YOU ARE A TERRIBLE SANTA. I will never invite you to my home again, you monster. >:[
So basically Symphony went to work for half an hour and then came home with a promotion, haha. SCORE! And Pumpkin was oh so excited that her daughter was an overachiever.
So I was concerned with how nasty Symphony and her cousin were to each other at Christmas, and SURPRISE SURPRISE, Symphony only has one nice point. Payday happened to have some Essence of Sugar and Spice that had been passed down from his grandmother Milky Way, so I decided to give the stuff a try!
Om nom nom!
AND HOLY CRAP IT WAS LIKE INSTANT 10 NICE POINTS. I thought it would only go up 1, or maybe 3 or 5..? BUT NO. FULL TEN. I felt kind of bad for altering her personality so much. >_>;;
… and then 3 hours later I realized it was temporary. Whaaat a load of crap. Now, I'm not sure if the potion really only lasts 3 hours, or whether it resets at midnight, because she drank the potion at 9pm. I'm going to assume it ends at midnight though, like Cinderella. Being that sickeningly sweet has to end sometime, amirite?
WHOA. MY SIMS ARE ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Thank you, Caramello, for staying true to the nature of my normal sims, haha.
They all stormed back inside in hoards though, for the double birthday of Pumpkin and Symphony! :D
Symphony is suuuuper cute.
And Pumpkin... suddenly has glitter all over her face, wtf. She seems to be happy about it, though...? Seriously, where the hell did you find glitter, Pumpkin?
Why did EA make every transaction with the Gypsy look like a drug deal? :|
A present for youuuuuuuu~~~~~
I figured that since Pumpkin becoming a plantsim was completely accidental, and I already have a plantsim ghost, I would just go ahead and cure her of it. ^_^ I tried taking the glitter off her face when I made her over, but it appears to be on there pretty good... o_O I guess she has latent Good Witch genetics? idek
Hehehe. Pumpkin and Payday are still as cute as ever!
So. Mounds' son Heath invited himself over and then broke every single sink in the freaking house. If you need water so badly, why you just stand in the goddam puddles you're making instead of moving onto the next sink for another glass of water?! Jeebus!
… I hate you.
~*~*~THE LAST HARVEST~*~*~
With no more plantsims around (except the devil plantspawn Heath), and the next gen soon to take over, I opted out of having any gardening at all, haha. Sooo much work, ugh.
YUP. THE LAST BIRTHDAYS BEFORE THE NEXT GENERATION BEGINS!
Well folks, I hope you're ready for this HEIR POLL because it is going to be a harrrd decision.
