“ | “Sam is an outgoing, friendly guy who is brimming with youthful energy. He plays guitar and drums, and wants to start a band with Sebastian as soon as he has enough songs together. However, he does have a habit of starting ambitious projects and not finishing them. Sam is a little stressed about the impending return of his father, who has been away for years due to his line of work.” |

After marriage
General
“ | “"Baby, I was just gunna write you a song on the guitar. But now you're here an I feel relaxed."” |
Sam spends a lot of time in married life chilling inside the house, most often in the kitchen. While he will help around the farm sometimes, he can also make the excuse of feeling "lazy today", and says he'll help out another day. He also quits his job at Joja Mart, which he's happy about.
Though he may not work much, Sam is very affectionate, excitedly asking you about your day, or commenting that you look tired and offering to give you a massage that tonight. He also likes to refer to you as "baby" or "honey". While he still makes mention of playing his guitar, he tells you at some point that he has no interest in being a musician anymore, and is a "family man" now.
Near the start of Winter, he says:
“ | “"Winter's just around the corner. We need to double check the heating system, turn off the valves, and check all the insulation in the house."” |
...then tells you not to worry, because he'll take care of it. This contradicts his usually carefree and lazy attitude, and shows an oddly helpful handyman side of his character.
He also seems to be more aware of his old ways of playing jokes on people. The day before the Luau he will suggest it would be funny to put something nasty in the soup, then quickly apologizes. If you speak to him at the festival the next day, he'll admit (sulking) that it wouldn't have been very nice to put something gross in the soup.
Once married, if you ask him to dance at the Flower Dance, he will try to make excuses to get out of it, saying that he thought that since you two are married now he wouldn't have to wear that "dorky suit" anymore, but will relent dance with you anyway.
On some days (usually Friday) he will go into town to visit his family for the day, then spend some time with Sebastian and Abigail at the bar like he used to prior to marriage. He expresses a lot of worry for his younger brother Vincent and will tell you that seeing his family is a little surreal now because everything seems more formal than it used to. Even so, he says the only thing he really misses about living at his parent's house was his moms fish casserole
Sometimes after visiting his family or the saloon, he will come home in a bad mood, and complain that the house is dirty.
Morning
Sam is usually found mulling around the house all day, but can also be found attempting to do a trick on his half pipe. Sometimes you will find him staring at his old guitar, and he'll mention not having much drive to play it anymore.
Evening
Sam will often ask about how your day was, and will tell you about his as well. It usually involves him relaxing, "noodling around" on his guitar, reading comic books, and drinking colas.
