I'm sorry Ellu and cher <3 Gotta build some suspense 
Thank you though, I am so so happy you both like it :lovestruc I love my Siri, she's a bad ass and I can't wait to post the next update. Love the cut-out simsample! Going to have to snag that! 
But to keep things even, time for another Sally Mae update! Oh and also I realized I have been spelling their names wrong this whole time. I can never remember if there's a hyphen or not, and apparently there's not so whoops new spelling this time around.
Chapter 4 - Sally Mae Adams
When we left Sally Mae she had just got in the taxi moving to her new home with her fiance Billy Bob Sawyer, pregnant and in her third trimester. We know Billy Bob has cheated on her, and might not be the loving faithful man that Sally Mae thinks he is.
Getting rather long so I'll break this one up into two parts. I would have stopped here, but I guess I better not be such a tease this time or I may hear Ellu's "NOOO" all the way from across the pond
That'll be all for Sally Mae today. I hope you all enjoyed the update and seeing where Sally Mae's life has gone since we last saw her. Would love some feedback on pictures this time, do you want to see more of kiddies next time?

Chapter 4 - Sally Mae Adams
When we left Sally Mae she had just got in the taxi moving to her new home with her fiance Billy Bob Sawyer, pregnant and in her third trimester. We know Billy Bob has cheated on her, and might not be the loving faithful man that Sally Mae thinks he is.
Here she is, having just arrived at her new home. A run-down yard full of weeds and unpleasant plants, and two simple trailer homes parked next to each other. Billy Bob looks to be in a foul mood, telling her to go make dinner. Maybe he thinks she took too long to get there.
Now if my partner greeted me like that I'd tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine, but Sally Mae is young and inexperienced. She's never been in a relationship before, and in her mind she's the luckiest girl in the world to have someone love despite her awkwardness and her not-stellar looks. She hopes to be a good wife some day and in her world good wives make their men dinner, so apologizes for arriving late and runs off to make dinner while Billy Bob focuses on his term essay.
Turns out Billy Bob got the housing sorted right on time. Because the very next day...
You might wonder who the man in the blue cardigan is. He's the minister of education, but also functions as a sort of social services of the hood. Since Sally Mae is underage and Billy Bob is still in college, I suspect he felt it was necessary to come by and inspect their living situations. Make sure it's fit for babies and all that. I think he ended up seeing a little more than he bargained
"Calm down, it's only child birth..." says Nicolas.
"See, I told you it's not that hard." says Nicolas to Billy Bob.
"She's beaaaautiful honey!"
"Meet your daughter Billy Bob! Would you like to hold her?"
But wait, what's this? Looks like we have a case of the twins!
Look at that happy face. Someone clearly doesn't mind surprise-twins!
Looks like Sally Mae made a real jump start on the family she always wanted. Not long ago she was a single teen, now she has a fiance and two beautiful daughters. I'd be pretty freaked out if my life changed that much in such a relatively short time span, but Sally Mae looks quite at home.
Since Billy Bob is still in college funds are quite limited, so their simple home is still quite spartan. In one trailer we have their bedroom, and a kitchen/living room combo. The second trailer is the nursery. Sally Mae took her trust fund money to buy two cribs, a dangle master, a baby bounce and a chair for her to sit in while she keeps an eye on the girls.
As you might deduce from the yard, Billy Bob isn't one for the cosy environments and welcoming atmosphere. Instead he wants his home to be as uninviting and people-deterring as possible. So he went out and got another addition to the family. Say hello to Harley the watch dog. He's agressive and he's a pig, but somehow he'll still make your heart melt.
Look at that silly little pup, thoroughly enjoying a big ol' roll around in a puddle.
He really is one massive dog, and if I walked by I would probably be a little scared. Which is just what Billy Bob wanted. But Sally Mae sees the sweet in everyone and everything, and immediately adopted him into her family of living beings to dote on. Here she is giving him a bath. From this angle it looks like his head is bigger than hers!
Sally Mae is a natural at being a mom, loving every second of every day.
Reading the girls a bedtime story
Looks like it worked better on mommy than it did on the girls. Tiresome being a new mommy to twins!
And so the days continued. Sally Mae cooked, cleaned, and took care of the babies. When she found the time she'd dig in the yard for treasure she could pawn to make a little extra money and buy things for the girls. Billy Bob graduated with a bachelor in political science and got a job in the military career. Having some steady income was great for them, but Billy Bob left for work at 6am and that meant Sally Mae had to get up at 5am to make breakfast. Many nights she was up until after midnight getting caught up on the household chores once the girls had fallen asleep, so a full energy bar became a thing of the past. Keeping Billy Bob's needs satisfied meant regular woohooing, and before too long Sally Mae found herself pregnant again. While I'm pretty sure she is more than happy to have another addition to her family, she does look a little worn.
Oh dear...
I wonder what was going through Billy Bobs mind as he found his wife passed out on the floor, Lulu Belle vicariously lying on the changing table. Somehow I don't think genuine concern is an emotion he's capable of. But he did calm down a little with his demands. After all a house wife is no good to him if she's passed out.
Time flies and all of a sudden it was time for the girls birthdays. Peggy Sue was born first, so she's first up.
She got her daddy's hair.
Lulu Belles turn
Another one with daddy's hair. He sure has some strong genes! (in my game all hair colors are equally dominant, so it's always a 50/50 flip)
No close up of Peggy Sue, but one of Lulu Belle. She got her mothers eyes and cheekbones.
No rest for the wicked, first batch grown up, next batch coming out of the oven! Sally Mae looks pretty pleased though. I wonder what she's feeling inside her tummy. Could it be...
Clearly Billy Bob is not handling the news all that well. I have to admit I quite enjoyed watching him reduced to a babbling heap.
"Honey, please just look at her. It's just a baby, nothing to be scared of!"
The doctor got Billy Bob back on his feet, and Sally Mae got him to hold their new daughter for a minute. Because yep, you guessed it. It's twins, again. Sally Mae is one fertile lady!
And this time, it's a son! About frigging time thinks Billy Bob, enough of all these girl babies, this is what I wanted, a son! And what do you know, suddenly not so hard to convince to hold the baby.
I've even caught him playing with his newborn son, which is almost weird to see. Billy Bob insisted they name him Billy Bob Jr. Guess he intends to pass on his legacy and raise himself a nice strong boy. Jr's twin sister is called Anna Nicole.
And from time to time he'll come help putting them to bed, though he only does billy Bob Jr.
Place is positively crawling with kiddies now!
Some of you may be wondering when it's going to be Sally Mae's turn to grow up. She's certainly old enough. In my game anyone who opts out of college gets their life span as a teen extended so that they can remain care-free not-quite-adults-yet Simmies for the same amount of time as their peers who do go to college. Sally-Mae is much too busy with her four children to think about getting a degree, she is quite happy to be a housewife (or well house-fiance). And Billy Bob is certainly not going to push her, he wants her home to cook and clean and be available when he wants his fun.
Everything about him is calculated, planned, intentional. He knows just how to manipulate circumstances enough that Sally Mae continues to think of him as a helpful loving fiance. When she's behind on house work he'll offer to watch the kids for her so she can go clean, making out he's a helpful hubby when really, why is it automatically her job to watch them 24/7 and do all the cooking and cleaning? And his idea of watching them is taking over when she's already got them settled and there's nothing to do except keep an eye on them so they don't crawl off. He might give them a bottle if he's really trying to impress and want his nightly fun, but never on your life that he changes a diaper. Poopy diapers are for womenfolk. Like this, all of them occupied and nothing to do really,
But Sally Mae has never known anything else, and she's so overrun with her two babies and two toddlers to take care of, that she never quite has time to notice. And deep down she longs to be his wife properly, so she does everything she can to keep him happy and show what a good wife she'd make so he'll agree to have a wedding. He claims they can't afford it (marriage licenses cost money in my hood) and he handles all the finances so she doesn't argue with him about it.
One of the things I love about this game is how animations you've seen a thousand times can look entirely different all of a sudden. Like this picture of the two of them making out on their bed one night. No different from any other make-out animation, but I see a Sally Mae that is so tired she can't keep her eyes open, but goes along with it any way because she doesn't want to deny him. And is it just me or does the way Billy Bob is hunched over her look kind of dominant and controlling?
Not really sure how she manages to get everything done, but even with four small children and a household to take care of Sally-Mae makes time to dig in the yard. The kids trailer is starting to look a little cosier now thanks to her dug up treasure. And despite everything she takes time to teach them to talk and walk, though potty training is first on the agenda so they can deal with that motive on their own.
Starting her own vegetable garden and drinking copious amounts of pepper juice might have had something to do with how Sally Mae gets through the days.
As you can see the two trailers are identical in terms of fixtures, only this one had the stove removed and a minifridge instead of a big one. Billy Bob had the walls merged so that the windows on this trailer lead into their bedroom. He knew Sally Mae would never agree to sleep in a separate trailer if she didn't have some way to keep an eye on the kids or notice if something was wrong with them, so that is the solution he came up with.
Lulu Belle learning to walk
Remember Harley the watch dog, and how I said he'll melt your heart? He certainly is just the watch dog Billy Bob wants. Here he is scaring off Henrik Lindström. Which may or may not have been such a good idea, considering Henrik is the chief of police of Evergreen.
And yet, he'll calmly endure anything the kids put him through. In fact he loooves the kiddies and tries to sneak in there as often as he can. Sally Mae doesn't like him slobbering up the floors and getting the kids dirty, since he lives outside, so she sometimes locks the door but if she lets him he'll be in there all day every day :lovestruc :lovestruc

Nothing much really happens in the life of Sally Mae, each day is like the previous one. Sally Mae cooks, she cleans, she takes care of her wonderful kids.
Sometimes though, I'll find her seemingly pondering her existence. Here she is preparing the turkey for Christmas dinner that year, and is it just me or is there a sort of dead-in-the-eyes look to her in that moment?
A look that certainly isn't there whenever she looks at one of her kids. Maybe she is starting to, on some level, question her relationship...
Now Billy Bob is a lot of things, but oblivious is not one of them. He's caught that look of hers, and he knows he needs to dial things up an additional notch. Sally Mae has gotten the nursery decently furnished, so lately her money has been going towards a wedding fund. Truth is, money is not as tight as Billy Bob would make out. He does quite well at work, has gotten himself promoted to flight officer. Looks quite pleased whenever he's off to work, clearly the military life suits him.
So if you are Billy Bob in this situation, what do you? How do you ensure that Sally Mae doesn't realize how dysfunctional their relationship really is, and make sure she remains the happy housewife? You make it official of course! And not only that, you spoil her a little with some nice jewelry so her dream of being a princess on her wedding day is one step closer to reality. She does quite seem to enjoy admiring herself in the mirror, in her pretty white dress.
The necklace really compliments the dress, don't you think? And while she certainly is happy that the big day has finally come, that look isn't entirely gone. Looks like just getting married isn't going to be enough.
Some of you might have noticed that the only people in these pictures are the kids, Billy Bob, and Sally Mae. Except for the occasional walk-by which usually gets chased off by Harley. No phone calls, no emails, no visitors. Sally Mae doesn't know this but whenever someone calls and asks for her, Billy Bob makes sure he answers the phone, and then rudely responds that she is busy and hangs up on whoever called. There is no phone in the kids trailer, quite intentional of course, so even if he's not there to guard the phone Sally Mae rarely hears it ring. When EA designed the automated messages, they clearly overheard Billy Bob on the phone. So since Sally Mae came to her new home, she's not talked to or seen any of her old friends, or matron. She's been busy with the kids of course, and hasn't exactly tried to make contact either. But she misses them, and Billy Bob realizes that it might be time to let her have some contact with the outside world.
So not only are they getting married, but he's invited matron, and Sally Mae's old orphanage buddies to attend the wedding. He's found a pretty little wedding location by the river where the ceremony can be held, with a buffet afterwards. Guaranteed to really make it a special day.
Amy might not like Billy Bob, but of course she's going to come be there for Sally Mae on her big day.
And of course matron and Stoffe will come, no questions asked. Matron looks so relieved to see Sally Mae looking happy and well. Stoffe with his thoughts on money, as usual...
Sally Mae looks really happy to see them too. And from this angle she really is quite gorgeous, don't you think?
Better sit down, ceremony is about to start!
Billy Bob dialing up the charm and smiles
She looks so sweet, and so in the moment.
There's that look Billy Bob is used to seeing. Sweet, loving eyes.
Even Billy Bob almost looks a little touched by the moment.
And then he ruins it by grabbing Sally Mae and throwing her down in a kiss. Sally Mae looks a little surprised and taken off guard, but I'm sure she chalks it up to romantic gesture. With another Sim, it would have been a romantic gesture. From Billy Bob, you can bet your chickens it's him blowing off some steam from having to pretend, by being rough in a way that can't quite be accused of it.
Leah congratulating Sally Mae, while Billy Bob sets up the buffet. Unusual for him to do anything food-related, outside of eating it. Notice him doing it when Sally Mae is looking in that direction, making sure she sees him.
He's even making an effort to socialize with Sally Mae's guests.
"Thank you honey for this truly wonderful day"
The party was a great success (Taket lyfter means roof raiser). I think Sally Mae really enjoyed spending some time without the kids, for once, having conversations with people closer to her own age. Here she is talking with Olivia. Olivia is very interested in politics, and societal issues. A bit of a left wing activist, fighting for peoples rights and feminism, and such things. I imagine Sally Mae is encouraging her and saying she's a great speaker and a great asset to any movement.
Just the kind of person Sally Mae could do with spending more time around, but Billy Bob smelling danger decided it was time to head on home. Reminding Sally Mae the kids would be waiting they said goodbye to the guests and headed home, now a married couple.

That'll be all for Sally Mae today. I hope you all enjoyed the update and seeing where Sally Mae's life has gone since we last saw her. Would love some feedback on pictures this time, do you want to see more of kiddies next time?
