The Barre Legacy | 4.1
The next installation of the Barre legacy, the very first family to play through The Board Game Challenge!
Last time with the Barre legacy, the family moved into a new home, got a new pet (a womrat named Mountain Barre), and our heir Payday set out to find his leading lady. It was a hard start, and Payday feared he would never find a woman who could accept his grilled cheese lifestyle, but he finally did in a lovely lady named Pumpkin. Mounds approved of her greatly, possibly a little too much, and when Payday and Pumpkin married, they all began their dysfunctional life together.
Yup, this nonsense is still going on. I don't know HOW attractive Mounds finds Pumpkin, because I certainly don't want to encourage any romantic interactions just to see how many bolts they would have. But I'm guessing it's a lot.
She does NOT leave Pumpkin alone. Ever. She follows her around everywhere like a little puppy. YOU HAVE A LOVING WIFE, MOUNDS. WHY DON'T YOU GO PAY SOME ATTENTION TO HER?
Pumpkin is pretty awesome, though, I must admit. She came into the family near the top of the business career track, so I'm letting her finish that up.
Poor thing must be tired from all that hard work. That's the only reason sims fall asleep in their mac and cheese, I'm sure~~~
Oh, nope. I guess not. This is evidence that I completely missed her first pop. Yaaayy playing on speed 3.
This is a combo deal of "look how cute Pumpkin is talking to the fishies" and "look how creepy Mounds is sneaking up on Pumpkin in her underwear".
Extreme measures must sometimes be taken.
GlaDos: "Run for it, Pumpkin! I've got her contained!"
Pumpkin: *makes a break for it*
Mounds: "Oh, hello loving couple. I'm just doing my exercises right here. Wooow, look how limber and flexible I am. SO flexible."
Pumpkin and Payday: "…"
Mounds: *eyebrow waggle*
I completely understand, Pumpkin. A lot of people need that to deal with their mother-in-laws, but not usually for the same reasons you need it.
There are some moments where the happy couple can spend some time alone, though!
Pumpkin: "This grilled cheese sandwich is really good, sweetie! I was craving one like crazy last night. I think this little kiddo is already taking after you!"
Payday: ^_____^
YAY I MANAGED TO SEE THE SECOND ONE.
-__- And here we have Mounds panting after Pumpkin again, while Pumpkin is thinking about how hot her husband is... and Payday's just laying there, snoring. Lovely.
Decided to sit Pumpkin down and have her learn a little about anger management before she goes mental.
Pumpkin: "I'm supposed to say WHAT to her?! Oh, I don't think she'll like that at all."
Perhaps, Mounds, if you don't want Pumpkin to see all the undoubtedly naughty things you are writing about her, YOU SHOULDN'T JUST PLOP YOURSELF DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER AND CRACK OPEN YOUR DIARY. Surely you can manage at least ONE hour away from her side.
Mounds: "You're right, no diary. I'll just show her how ~~limber~~ I am instead. 8D"
Me: *facepalm*
BABY TIEMZ!!!1!
Mountain Barre looks most concerned with the screaming woman outside his cage.
A baby girl, Symphony Barre! She has grandma Mounds' hair, father Payday's eyes, and mother Pumpkin's skin! :D
:3 Pumpkin is a good mommy.
Um... hello, Mr. Werewolf, sir. What on earth are you doing in my house? Did.. did you want some breakfast? o_O
Oh, no. Of course. You just decided to walk THROUGH my house, instead of around it, once you found yourself still sniffing around my trees once the sun came up. Okay, then. Work on your time management, buddy.
… I do not even know who that is. Why are you mad at some random dude, Payday? *looks through his acquaintances to see who it is* … That is your brother Butterfinger's husband. Now I'm really confused. I wasn't even aware you had met.
Here, have a sandwich. Those make you feel better.
UGH. Really Mounds?? You've progressed from just resting on the bed next to her while she sleeps to actually sleeping with her. Good grief. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BED. YOUR WIFE IS IN IT, TOO. THIS IS APPEALING, Y/Y??
Just giving her crap to distract her and keep her away from Pumpkin. Hellooo full-time nanny and gardener! Lovely to have you here!
I think I have discovered why Payday and his brother-in-law do not get along. Apparently our telescope is aimed at their house.
I'm guessing we're seeing some stuff we shouldn't. Though the fact that Payday was watching his brother and his husband do whatever it is they were doing distresses me deeply. Hopefully they just like, bake cookies wearing just aprons or something. Bums are okay.
This family and Tai Chi, man. Now Pumpkin's getting in on the limber stretches? Hoo boy.
And while they were doing that (you can still see Pumpkin through the window, lol) I noticed this random lady in our hot tub. o_O I have no idea when she got here, and how long ago that may have been.
Pumpkin: "NO, I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY DOCTOR WITH YOU."
Mounds: "Ugh, you are SO close-minded."
Payday" "What's going on, guys? Honey, why are you shouting?"
Payday: "What's up, sweets? You okay?"
Pumpkin: "I'm fine, babe. Your mother just makes me a bit uncomfortable, is all."
COMMENCE SLAPFIGHT!
I guess Payday won the slapfight? Does ANYONE ever win in a slapfight? Nonetheless, Mounds got a lecture about not playing doctor with Pumpkin, so I guess progress is being made.
NUUUU. You were hardly in this update, I am so sorry, GlaDos. ;__;
GlaDos: "Oh! Um, hello ladies. *tiny wave* Those are uh.. lovely coconuts you have there?"
At least she's happy. <333
That had better be mourning cheesecake, Mounds. >:[ Stop looking so damned chipper.
Gardening! Because now that I've started this dang garden, it requires a hell of a lot of upkeep, dang. Gardening is exhausting and I'm barely even doing anything.
Mounds gets to kick back and have fun occasionally, too. At least that's what I'm assuming this is. Does this look fun? I don't even know anymore. Swinging in a hammock while being entertained by a dancing bear, okie dokie. Rich people are crazy, man.
… this girl is still in the hot tub. You had BETTER not be peeing in my pool, missy.
AWWW!! HOW CUTE! Pumpkin got a promotion, so I sent her to the mirror to level up charisma for the next one, and she held Symphony in her arms the whole time. :3 I didn't know they could do that.
LOTS OF GARDENING.
… well at least the girl left? How are you guys even finding this hot tub?! IT IS IN MY BACKYARD. The ability that sims have to just somehow ~SENSE~ every item that is on a lot is freaking creepy.
OH HEY. MOAR BABIES.
lol. I guess I have some default outfits gone amiss somewhere.
Mounds stealth-aged Symphony on me, so I didn't even know it was her birthday until I got the pop-up saying she was a toddler now. -__- Thaaaanks, Mounds. It's not like I adore taking cute birthday pictures or anything.
RAZOR SHARP CHEEKBONES, THOUGH, WHOA.
lawlz. First thing Symphony gets to do as a toddler? Learn how to say "Grandma!"
Wolves really do like pregnant ladies. I wonder why the creators did that? Is it a thing where wolves like babies and pregnant women? I have never heard of this thing.
Pumpkin doesn't seem to mind, though. She just teases them. >:3
…
whoops. >_> I didn't think this would happen! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE'S SPRAYED THESE PLANTS, WTF.
Oh man, after the chemical cloud cleared... I pretty much saved and quit right then to go find a better plantsim skin. LMAO. I couldn't stand playing her with this one.
MUUUUUUUCH BETTER. She's actually dang sexy for an elder plantsim with antlers, if I do say so myself. Not that there's a lot of competition in that category.
