Just something I wrote a while ago... funny story of a short-lived Barbie Legacy attempt.

Like many, I was intrigued by the Barbie Legacy Challenge floating around. However, 10 generations of pink and the same named sim, I wasn’t completely sold on that idea. But then I watched Vixella play and her Barbie was wild. Surely Barbie deserved more justice than that chaotic life (though I love to see it). And I thought Barbie is just fun, cute, and a change of pace from my legacy save that’s mainly about having babies and getting on to the next generation. So I made Barbie Roberts. But I was going to have Barbie be like a partial super sim challenge. Starting with Business Barbie (gen 2) and Housewife Barbie (gen 1) would be her final chapter. And let me just say, Vixella’s Barbie is 100% a wholesome housewife Barbie compared to how my Barbie turned out.

Barbie Roberts was created in CAS as a young adult with the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration. She started out Ambitious, Loyal, and Outgoing. I added the traits; Headstrong, Practiced Host, Idea Person, Pack Animal, Prom Royalty, Responsible, Good Manners, Compassionate, and Emotional Control. I let her pick her own likes/dislikes through gameplay and allowed for self-discovery. I looked forward to enjoying a young adult with no need to rush for marriage and children (having set aging to off).

Previously to starting this save, I tried my hands at a “wild” save. I replaced Wonderful Whims with Wicked, and planned to say yes to any sexual offer. Just let my sim be truly wild. I played for a few sim days and NO “so in so is looking at you… do you accept their advances” no random woohoo. I was so bored. I switched back to wonderful whims and proceeded with creating Barbie Roberts and having a wholesome easy break from my legacy save. Now I wonder if my sim should even keep the name Barbie Roberts. My only “rule” was to have fun, and go with freewill and play through as many wants as possible.

Barbie moved into a starter home in Willow Creek with her starting funds of $20,000. Transformed it into an adorable pink home with a small garden in the backyard and joined the business career. She enjoyed meeting her neighbors as they welcomed her to the neighborhood with fruitcake (which she found delicious). Barbie loved socializing and making friends. She enjoyed her career but always made time for her friends. Her neighbors, Summer Holiday and Travis Scott had become two of her best friends and would regularly want to hang out with them.

One night after work, Barbie wanted to be friendly with Travis while also wanting to dine out at a restaurant. Having just been promoted, she decided to celebrate with Travis over a nice dinner. After which, Barbie enjoyed Travis as dessert. Having no romance between them, Travis propositioned her after the meal ended and the two had dumpster woohoo behind the restaurant. Such a romantic first time.

Having never tested out the new woohoo partners feature, I decided to go for that. My justification, Barbie always strung Ken along, right? [For the record, I have Mc Command Center, Mc Woohoo, Wonderful Whims, and that's really it for relationship/autonomy script mods at the moment.]

As Barbie progressed in her career, she got the attention of Nick Alto who invited her to join his club for prestigious young business entrepreneurs. Within seconds of attending her first club meeting, Barbie autonomously tried for baby with Nick Alto while his wife was in the next room (thankfully, no baby was conceived). Barbie just really wanted to show Nick her appreciation for being invited to join such an influential club, you know.

Not even a few minutes later, she took Dustin Broke (fellow club member) to the Alto’s home massage table and offered to massage his stress away. It was at this moment I realized this Barbie wasn’t like the other Barbies.

As time went on, Barbie had experienced many City festivals, made many new friends, lavished in multiple promotions and was ultimately living her best life saving up to own a vet clinic (which is no longer a goal of hers).

One day, Summer asked if she should go on a date with Akira Kibo, Barbie said yes (even though she had never met the guy). By this time Barbie had become a trusted Confidante and a Beloved friend. Travis admitted he had a huge crush on Barbie and had asked if they could go on an official date. Barbie agreed but nothing was set yet. She had dreams to accomplish, was a serious relationship right for her at this moment? Though, he did look like a Ken.

Barbie wanted to visit a karaoke bar so she invited a bunch of friends, hoping Travis would feel it was enough just to spend time together. But then, she saw Summer flirt with Travis, and she knew, if she didn’t act soon she may lose him (saw him flirting with Summer and gained the want to ask him on a date, no lie). Meanwhile, she had met Akira Kibo during this outing and gained romance without me noticing because I was too focused on Summer and Travis continually flirting with one another (and I actually love that spitefulness that Summer flirted with her guy, so she flirted with hers in return). After the outing ended, Barbie asked Travis on a date to the same restaurant they first had woohoo at. And the night ended with dumpster woohoo once more.

During Harvestfest, Barbie invited everyone over for a Harvestfest Party. She gained the want to get engaged to Travis, though they weren't even boyfriend/girlfriend yet. So I had her ask him to be her boyfriend, which she proceeded to autonomously propose immediately afterwards.. During the celebration meal, Barbie decided to ask Akira to be her Ring Bearer, they had a full friendship bar so I also had her become best friends with him. Immediately after which, in front of the room full of guests, the two decided to leave the party to woohoo in the pile of leaves outside. Followed by the want to have a first kiss with Akira. BARBIE!

Being a loyal sim (insert eye rolling), Barbie felt the need to confess to cheating to Travis (not like he didn’t just witness it amongst all his friends). Barbie apologized and reaffirmed her devotion to Travis. The two worked things out. Travis is awfully forgiving.

Barbie and Nancy Landgraab had become friends, having both been in the Business career. And the two had a lovely dinner at a fancy restaurant downtown where Barbie met the only man she's ever found more than basic looking, Caleb Vatore. The two became fast friends.

One of Barbie’s set of neighbor’s was a lovely couple with two children. Barbie was friends with both of them and on occasion they’d pop by for a visit. One afternoon, the husband popped by for a little shower try for baby with Barbie out of nowhere. But hey, he fixed her broken radio afterwards, saving money on a repairman because Barbie hates handiness (no baby was conceived so that's a win right).

Again, Barbie felt the need to confess to Travis. At this point their romance was less than half the bar. But now she was serious about planning her wedding, want after want, she desired to fill all the wedding roles. And then, a phone call stating she’d inherit money by marrying within 7 days sealed the deal, the wedding was on (and in case you didn’t know, a wedding event doesn;t count I have learned!)

The wedding started off with so much promise. Barbie wanted to woohoo, makeout, flirt all with Travis. But then the wedding cake disappeared. Caleb refused to watch her marry Travis (he had let her know he liked her days before). The wedding activities kept glitching. And while Travis sat at the bar, Barbie got the want to divorce him, while still actively at the wedding! I feel like she realized the coming into money for marriage was a scam and she had too much life to live to be married right now. So the wedding ended. And Barbie divorced Travis while still at the wedding venue.

When Barbie returned home, she realized she made a mistake. She wanted to be engaged to Travis. [After the divorce I removed the loyal trait from Barbie and rolled for her to gain the Romance, Seducer, Woohoo Lover, Free Spirit, or Charming trait instead, she rolled Woohoo Lover] She took the next day off work and proceeded to spend that entire night making up with Travis (they autonomously woohooed like 5 times in between) until alas, they were engaged once more. NEVER have I played a more toxic sims couple.

I feel like once Barbie came to understand she was a woohoo addict, she began to realize she was in love with Travis and the fact he was so forgiving, he truly was the one. Christmas rolled around and I decided Barbie and Travis would celebrate this holiday alone and without the added drama. Barbie made a ham dinner, placed presents by the tree, and invited her fiance over with the want to marry him. They would end the night eloping. And they did, but of course, drama found them first.

As the couple enjoyed their dinner, Caleb came knocking. He must have felt the romance in the air and decided it was now or never, so he flirted with Barbie out of nowhere right in front of Travis. Then Santa came to visit and proceeded to flirt with Barbie (luckily Travis and Caleb were in another room). Oh, I forgot to mention Barbie had just found out she was pregnant that morning as well. And had just told Travis the news (which he rejected, I didn’t even know that was a thing! Right before Caleb came over, great timing). I tried to have everyone sing christmas songs before opening presents but only Caleb participated with Barbie. As Barbie still wanted to marry and now flirt with Travis, I sent everyone home and Barbie and Travis opened their presents (Barbie got coal). Afterwhich, the couple eloped. Seriously, Travis, can you not do better? And Why can no one resist themselves around Barbie?!

At this point, I have turned on aging for active household only. Barbie will finish gen 2 goals and then switch to housewife Barbie (gen 1) and one of her children will take on the gen 3 role of running a vet clinic. At least that's where things are at his moment. Barbie and Travis are saving for a bigger home for their growing family. I honestly love this save file chaos. I find it hilarious how I made a save file with intentions of chaos, got nothing. Made a save file with intentions of wholesome vibes, got chaos.
