Chapter 33-The Barnacle Bay Bucket Lists

Barnacle Bay is not lagging yet but our days are numbered in Barnacle Bay.  It seems that all the young men are now elders yet Raven is not yet finished with Barnacle Bay and neither is Mac.  So what do we do in this situation, we finish up here as soon as possible.  The town is still very playable but as we will soon see another problem that we haven't faced before is starting to show up.  I think the reason we haven't seen this problem before is that I was playing on a long life span which means many of the townies are dying off.  Some of these townies Raven nor Mac has had a chance to procreate with and if SP hasn't matched them with someone else their line ended.  We are now running into too many family members which we cannot use for our challenge so its time to figure out the Barnacle Bay family tree but first........


Barbara Ann had her birthday.  I like those braids on her so I will probably keep them.


Barbara Ann Pesce

Absent-Minded, Excitable and Mooch


As you can tell by Barbara Ann's and Gerald's panic, Raven is in labor.  Mac was sleeping so Gerald who already has learned to drive takes Raven to the hospital.


She had twins a boy and a girl


Baby #47 Manny Wheeler

Excitable, Loves the Heat


Baby #48 Celeste Wheeler

Perceptive, Eccentric


Mac surprises me sometimes.  Usually, he is rotten to the core by stealing candy from the babies, beating up on his siblings or impregnating their wives but sometimes he is good and helps them out.


This only means one thing some poor unsuspecting girl made the mistake of calling Mac for a date.  Someone is going to get pregnant.


The poor unsuspecting girl happens to be his already pregnant daughter in law.  Her name is Chrystal Cottoneye married to Mac's son Josh.  That rained on Mac's parade for sure however the fact that she is married to his son doesn't mean that.....


Mac doesn't inspect the goods.  She hasn't been crossed off his list yet so he just wanted to make sure she is worth the wait.

Let's take a look at the finished sketch


Oh well!

Crystal will have to wait but Mac is still on the prowl.  He spots another one that catches his eye and guess what....


It's another pregnant daughter-in-law.  This is Tennille who is married to Mac's Mick Inkbeard.

Then things got worse.....


He ran into his pregnant daughter Niki Coastal and his son in law August Coastal.  After this Mac gave up for the night because the reality that he is a grandfather is setting in.


Meanwhile Raven is having better luck but not with Scotty Darwin who is on Raven's list.  Not sure who his pregnant woman is Patty Abe but she is not with Scotty.  Not that it mattered to Raven she would still go after Scotty.


However Raven had better luck with Leeroy Johnkins.  Both of them were on her list but we obviously have less time with Leeroy.



What in the world is Scotty doing there?


It turns out Scotty lives there.  Leeroy married Scotty's mother so Leeroy is his stepfather. I'm glad he didn't walk into the room as that would have been an awkward scene.


No baby music but......



she is pregnant.

Before we go on any further I think after the whole pregnant daughter in law bit I think we better list who in town is available for each of them and move after they finish their list.  I guess you can call this their Barnacle Bay Bucket List.



"E" is for Elder which means they are priority

Mac's list is shorter because he cannot put Elders on his list.  However Mac list does consist of two daughter-in-laws and one sister-in-law.

Both of these lists are subject to change and do not have to be filled in order but when both are complete we are moving to the next town.

Now time for some birthdays:



Manny Wheeler
Warlock
Friendly, Loves the Heat, Excitable



Celeste Wheeler
Witch
Perceptive, Eccentric, Animal Lover


and more birthday(s?) about to happen.



I know you can't see Raven in the car but she is in the passenger seat while Mac is actually driving her to the hospital.


No wonder he drove he decided to drop Raven off and leave.  Usually, he stays there.  Well, maybe Leeroy will show up to help Raven through the labor.


Leeroy didn't show up but I have to admit he does have a good excuse for it.  He's dead.  And I thought Grim would give him a few days to see the birth of his babies.  Raven did have twins.  A boy named Freddie and a girl named Trina.  Where is Trina?


At home with Mac.  Actually, Mac just walked up to the house so Trina beat him there.


Freddie Johnkins

Warlock
Excitable, Perceptive


Trina Johnkins

Witch
Good, Loves the Heat

and one more birthday:


Barbara Ann is aging into a teen


and we are having a party for a change.  The last few birthdays we didn't make the cake in time.



I like seeing them all celebrate so more birthday picture spam coming up!



I like that hair on her I think I will keep it.



Barbara Ann Pesce
Human
Absent-Minded, Excitable, Bot Fan, Mooch


Another day another birthday and more birthday party spam.





Gerald Piece
Warlock
Bot Fan, Loves the Outdoors, Slob, Adventurous, Genius

Chapter 32: After a Long Hiatus.....


When I first opened my game I found Raven pregnant again and on a date with the guy panicked in the background Rahul Patel.


I have no idea who the father is but I doubt I would have sent her on a date with someone who already impregnated her so relax Rahul you are off the hook for now.


No wonder Rahul is in a Frenzy he is already in arrears on his child support payment.  Just because he is already a deadbeat dad doesn't mean that he is off of Raven's list for potential dads.  Things like that don't bother us at all.  However, I still wonder who the daddy is.  I know I could use Master Controller to find this out but I rather wait to be surprised.  Let us see if the lucky or unlucky guy follows her into the hospital.


I think we found him.  Dave Piece the chef and green fairy.  Oh, we might have some fairy babies now.


Only one baby this time :(

He was named Gerald and his traits are Genius and Loves the Outdoors


Looks like Dave is taking the limo ride home with Raven he must be the father but I will check the babies family tree to be sure.


Yep it was Dave but why is he wearing a police hat in this picture and a chefs hat to the hospital.  Is he moonlighting as a chef?



We age those pods up pretty damn quickly in this game and he is a cutie.


Time for triplet teens, ladies first of course




Ethan was second



Last but not least Owen.

I'm going to let everyone in on a game secret to teaching teens to drive in an instant.  Have a sim stage a protest against unskilled sims and have both the teen and the adult teaching the sim to drive drink a vial of bliss (easiest potion to learn at the alchemy table) and the rest is a piece of cake.  Raven taught all three teens to drive in one day.  Now if they could only make it that simple in real life.

I'm getting pretty damn bad at the pictures again but the challenge is still going strong so let me just update on the kids.



Gerald Piece

Slob, Loves the Outdoors, Genius, Bot Fan

Triplets aged into young adults


Owen Swift

Neurotic, Hydrophobic, Slob, Technophobe, Virtuoso

Warlock


Oscar Ivanov

Friendly, Grumpy, Couch Potato, Dog Person

Warlock


Mac has been going on some trips to China and he has brought something home to help with Raven's challenge but he brought something home for himself.




And he had another set of twins.  I decided to check in on them and I had to move Serena to a new house when I seen this:


Both babies are vampires just like their father who is sinking to new lows.


Who is he fighting with now


An old lady!  Really Mac?


Well with 5 kids moving out of the house it is time for Raven to start filling the house with more kids.  Let's find out who is the Daddy.


Barnicle Bays version of Joe Pesce, that is Moe Pesce.

Mission Accomplished!


Must be craving Ice Cream


Nope, not this time she is taking herself to the hospital on her broom.


Damn only one baby again.  Oh well we will skill her quickly and find another sperm donor.



Her name is Barbara Ann Pesce.  Went with another beach boys tune.


Her name was originally just Barbara but the song kept going through my mind but not because of the Beach Boys.  It was because of .......


John Travolta and his gold lame costume.  Damn, look how young he was there!  
Couldn't name the kid Barbarino so I went with the name of the actual song that inspired that dance, Barbara Ann.  

I can't believe the things that inspire names for me with this challenge.


I'm getting so good at teaching toddler skills the old way Raven was ready for the next one in no time.  This is Omar Wheeler who was our secondary maid but now is the proprietor of Mick's Master Karaoke.  The town is aging at an alarming rate and most of the men are elders.  Raven needs some young blood in town so we are hitting on the NPCs now.


Baby 47 and hopefully 48 is on the way.

Some tidbits around town:



Felix is getting married to Coral Coastal.


Oscar is going steady with Vivian Inkbeard.

We have gone through half of this challenge and have avoided this:



Maverick and Ross are elders.  :(
