Finally we come to one of the more well-known families: Crumplebottom-Sekemoto. Leighton Sekemoto met Agnes Crumplebottom in Sunset Valley, and fell in love. When they married he brought with him his son Sam and his mother Yumi. 2 babies later, the whole family moved to Barnacle Bay. And so, below we have, from left to right, Agnes Crumplebottom with her eldest daughter Patricia, young Sam Sekemoto, Leighton Crumplebottom (he took his wife's name) with his younger daughter Ingrid, and Grandma Yumi.
Agnes found herself suddenly rich (some estranged ancestor left her about 450,000 simoleons), so she bought a lovely old farm house and property and redid it. Another level was added to the house, the barn turned into a party/hobbies space, the farm yard was replaced with a tasteful garden, 3 new cars were purchased, and the entire property was given a modern, designer-feel. Can you guess which cars belong to which of the 3 adults?
A final addition to the family is their new butler Chadd.
Life in Barnacle Bay began. Agnes found it hard to find time for her passions: playing the Bass and painting, because her daughters took up a lot of her time, even with her mother-in-law helping out. Leighton pitched in when he could, but he was away a lot for his job - he is the Bay's first Architect. He added a gym to the Grisby's basement (see below), which was a great success, and an art room to the Coddle-Darer home, which was not such a success. Sam was busy with school, homework, and his new interest, star gazing. Chadd the butler found himself to be extremely busy. He loved to cook, so there was always a new meal ready for the family. He also occasionally changed a diaper. Other than that, he did not seem to do much but interact socially with the family. All this left him very tired, and since he refused to sleep in his bed, he collapsed on the floor...
This period was a time of many birthdays. First baby Ingrid grew up to a toddler, then Sam became a teenager (he gained the 'Workaholic' trait). Finally, young Patricia grew up into a cute child (I think her trait was family-oriented?). Butler Chadd seemed to be the one to get the most fun out of the birthday celebrations.
And finally we come upon the family in the upstairs hobby room of the shed. Sam has discovered a talent for piano, and jams with his mother while his sisters, father and grandmother look on.
There are only a few more families left to visit in Barnacle Bay before we return to the McGraws. Coming up: the Lin sisters, and the Vampire household.
