Mod The Sims - What did you do with the Pleasantview characters?

21st Jun 2007, 08:22 PM

Don: He married Cassandra and tried to reform, but was never quite able to stop cheating on her. He had four kids with Cassandra: Carmello, Darius, Prudence, and Isabella. He also had several children with other women. He died of old age.

Cassandra: Married Don. Had an affair with Darren when she suspected that Don was cheating on her, but felt guilty and broke off all contact with Darren shortly after sleeping with him. Died of old age, before Don.

Mortimer: Married Dina and died of suspicious circumstances shortly after. Leaving his house and all of his money to his son, Alexander.

Alexander: Married Dina shortly after his father's untimely death. Had two or three children with her and died of suspicious circumstances shortly after.

Dina: Married both the elder and younger Goth men, had children with the younger. Suspected killer of both Mortimer and Alexander, though they could never prove it. She died in a horrible fire shortly after her first born son transitioned to a teenager.

Nina: Was a party girl for a while, but changed her ways after hooking up with Knut Trimble (I think that's his last name) and getting pregnant with twin girls, Becca and Rachel. Met the newly single Ted Washington and asked him to move in. Ted brought with him his teenage daughter C.J. and his young son Jack. Shortly after moving to Bluewater Villiage, Nina and Ted became corrupted and I had to kill them both. C.J., who had went to college and graduated, assumed charge of the twins and moved them both back to Pleasantview.

Brandi: Brandi had a secret relationship with her son's friend, Orlando, and that relationship produced a daughter. However, she soon met a man from Bluewater Village and moved out of her trailer and into his house. They married and lived a quiet little life running their bakery. Her life was made eaiser when her overbearring mother-in-law finally kicked the bucket.

Dustin: Went to college, messed around with Angela AND Lilith, but eventually married Molly Mack. They're living a quiet life in Pleasantview and expecting their first child.

Beau: Beau went to college and despised the dorms, so he rented a room with Angela Pleasant. Eventually, the two roommates developed a relationship with each other and began to hook up. Angela took it very seriously, while Beau was less serious about the relationship. When Angela graduated and Isabella Lothario (Don's daughter w/Cassandra) moved in and took over Angela's old room, he began messing around with her too. After graduation, he moved in with Angela and eventually married her. Beau recently became the father of twins.

Caleb Broke: (the child Brandi was already pregnant with) Went to college, had several girlfriends, and then settled down with Roxie Stone (my self-sim's daughter).

Daniel Pleasant: Cheated on Mary Sue for years without getting caught. Finally, right after transitioning to an elder, she caught him with his pants down and he was kicked out. They divorced and Mary Sue kept the house, so Daniel bought the house across the street and got a dog. Including Angela and Lilith, he has about ten children. He recently died of old age.

Mary Sue: Finally ditched Daniel, transitioned to an elder. Got a cat. Messed around with the MUCH younger gardener, Leo. Recently died.

Angela: Went to college and began a relationship with Dustin Broke's younger brother, Beau. Graduated and move into her father's new home to take care of him. Dreams of opening an art gallery to showcase her own paintings. Married Beau Broke and had twins.

Lilith: Messed around with Dustin Broke behind her sister's back. Went to college. Graduated and moved back home to live with her mother. Has a shaky relationship with her sister. Recently married a CAS made sim and had a little girl.

Darren: Pined away after Cassandra for a while before finally snapping out of it when a young CAS made sim moved into his house. He remodeled his home and fell inlove with his new roommate. They had twins.

Dirk: Bores me. He's currently stuck in college because I can't stand to play him for long. I might kill him.

Burbs & Oldies: John Burb is a cheater, imagine that. He has a child with someone else, but is still married to his wife (who bores me to the point where I'm ready to kill her off and be done with her). Lucy is still a child. The Oldies moved in with Mary Sue and died of old age shortly after.

:here: The Broke-Nova Family
Brandi had enough aspiration points to get a smart milk maker for little Beau. Therefore Beau learned how to walk AND talk; he grew up with a platinum aspiration level. Dustin is still going steady with Angela, had his first kiss, raised his grade up to an A and reached the top of the Criminal Career track. Brandi gave birth to her third son, Andy. Brandy and her sons grew up nicely (with the help of some make-overs), and Brandi started a little romance with Castor Nova (a frat brother from Uni). Castor is planning on proposing to Brandi sometime tomorrow.

Andy (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Andy.jpg)

So, I think its written in Brandi Broke's cards to have boys, boys and more boys. At least in my game. Before my re-install of Pleasantview, Brandi Broke was re-married and had twin boys naturally. After this re-install, Brandi Broke was re-married again, and AGAIN she had twin boys naturally. Crazy, huh?!

These are some snap-shots of Brandi's latest twin sons, Blake and Zach.
Zach (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Zach.jpg) (named by GreenStraws)
Blake (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Blake.jpg)

Brandi Broke is pregnant AGAIN. She has five sons as of now (Dustin, Beau, Andy, twins Zach & Blake) and is hoping for a little girl this time. Dustin is happily married to Angela Pleasant and just had triplets - two boys and one girl. Beau is living on his own in a tiny studio apartment, earning his money making music and painting. Jobs are not Beau's cup of tea. Andy is one day away from turning into a teenager while twins Zach & Blake are young children as well.

Trevor, Rose and Sean (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Triplets.jpg)

Brandi and her husband, Castor, decided to move into a bigger house. When Andy aged into a teenager, the twins got eager for their own bedrooms. The new house solved everything - 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, pool, backyard, the works! The baby Brandi was pregnant with was born... another boy! This one was named Christian, and he has brown hair like Daddy. Andy is by far the smartest one in the family (private school, straight As, top of his career, TONS of skill points), and he is going steady with a neighbor girl, Maria Laney. Castor and Brandi christened the new home and accidently got pregnant - this is only the 2nd time a risky pregnancy has EVER happened in my game.

Andy and Maria (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/AndyMaria.jpg)

Brandi and Castor now have seven children! And their last child was a girl!!! After six sons, the two were elated to have had a little girl, Cosette... finally. Andy is now graduated from college and is married to his high school sweetheart, Maria Laney. The two are trying to have a baby. Dustin and Angela are still married and their triplets are now children. Beau is keeping to himself nowadays and spending a lot of time on his art. The twins, Zach and Blake, are in high school (teenagers) and are looking to go into the Military.

Andy and Maria had twins, Joel and Rosa. The cute twins are now children, and Andy has made it to the top of his career track. Maria stays at home with the twins often and doesnt care much for working these days. The twins are currently trying to convince their parents to have another baby! Dustin and Angela's triplets are now teenagers and are looking into which colleges they should attend. All three of them plan to attend. Beau is still dating casually and has sold more masterpieces than anyone ever has in my game. Blake is married with a baby on the way. Zach is living on his own in a small condo down the street from his older brother, Beau, and he is working in the Military Career Track.

:here: Don Lothario
The first person I played with after installing TS2 was Don. So obviously I started with him again (upholding tradition); I gave him a home renovation and a much needed make-over. The make-overs came out rather nice...
Don Lothario (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Don.jpg)
Don's Kitchen (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/DonLR.jpg)

Don was steadily climbing the Medical Career Track until he decided enough was enough. He quit his job and started in on an entry-level job at the local Music Recording Studio earning somehundred dollars a day. His new lifetime aspiration is to WooHoo with 20 different Sims, so he is spending a LOT of time doing that. In order to give him enough time to get all this done, he broke his engagement off with Cassandra. He recently had Nina over for a romp in the sheets, but it turned into a nightmare when Don had to run upstairs and extinguish a burning Nina from being in the hot tub for too long. Luckily, Nina survived.

Don is currently up to 11 Sims he has WooHoo'd ... he is trying to make it to his goal of twenty. For some reason, he is infatuated with Brittney Upsnot from the sorority house in Uni. He actually got the want to propose to her! Maybe this is the woman he will settle down for?

Don has acheived a lifetime platinum by WooHooing with 20 Sims. But you know what? Dons life isnt as great as he thought it would be. After finding out that Dina Caliente was pregnant with his child, he asked her to move into his home with him and start a life - just the three of them.

:here: The Pleasants
Daniel decided that enough was enough, and he fired the maid. When Mary-Sue came home from work that day, Daniel was waiting for her at the end of the driveway holding a big boquet of roses. They are now patching up their relationship, and the couple has never been happier. Angela graduated college around the same time Dustin did and is now married to him (with new born triplets). Lilith is still struggling through college, but she is almost graduated! She is going steady with Dirk, and the two plan on marrying after college.
The Pleasant Family (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/PleasantFamily.jpg)

Daniel is still staying true to his wife, and she is happy about that. Their relationship is back to normal, and Mary-Sue is climbing her career to the top rather quickly. Lilith has graduated from college and is still dating Dirk Dreamer. Dirk wants to propose to Lilith really soon.

:here: Goth
Mortimer has been down in the dumps lately. Dina showed up at his doorstep and seduced him late into the night before leaving town for a couple of weeks - Mortimer misses her greatly and has no idea when she is due to return. Cassandra was heart-broken when Don broke off their engagement, but she is looking towards bigger and better things in life. Alexander is only a day away from becoming a teenager and is already looking into which college he should attend.

Alexandar (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n218/boolPropped/S2C%20Stuff/Sims/Pleasantview%20Characters/Alexander.jpg)

:here: Caliente
For some reason, I get really addicted to playing the sisters whenever I start... so a lot has happened with them in my game. Firstly, Dina is still in love with Mortimer. She wants to marry him but doesnt want people to think she is just after his money. Nina has a little thing going with Don, but Dina sees Don much more than her sister Nina. About two nights after Nina had the "unfortunate incident" over at Don's place (when she caught on fire), a burglar broke into the sisters' home! Dina ran downstairs to call the police, but the gentle policeman was not tough enough for the burglar. He got off with the girls' hot tub. The policeman, Dorian, certainly got Nina's attention, and she is now going steady with him. Dina is feeling a little sickly lately, and little does she know that she is actually pregnant! I wonder who the father is...

Nina and Dina were robbed one night in their home, when Dorian Kauker (a police officer) tried to stop the robber. Unsuccessful at his attempt, Nina still developed a soft spot for the man in uniform. The two are now married with their first child on the way.

Dina gave birth to her first child, a son named Kyle. Dorian is still working in Law Enforcement while Dina stays home with the baby. Every time she wants a job, she wants to quit the next day to stay at home with her son.

I only have played a couple of the Maxis-made families, but....

Caliente: Dina married Mortimer, and moved into the Goth household. Nina is engaged to Don, but they aren't planning to get married.

Dreamer: Darren and Cassandra married, had a daughter, and then adopted a son.

Broke: Brandi was violently murdered, but the killer has not been found. Dustin and Angela broke up, and Dustin is now an adult who takes care of Beau.

Don Lothario: He got married to Cas Goth (and I stupidly did it in their house, so his name is now Don Goth :( ) and moved back into his old house. He ended up cheating on Cas with... everyone and Cas ended up cheating on him with Darren. Long story short, they both got negative levels of each other and they got devorced. Cas is currently sitting in my Sim Bin.

Caliente: I always forget these guys' first names. I married the blonde one off to Mortimer and she was happy for getting with a rich sim. The redhead one I ended up hooking up with one of my Custom made sims. I changed the redhead one into a family sim and they both began to pop the babies out. They currently have 3 (I think) kids, though only one is made naturally. The first child I impregnated the guy with one of the social bunnies using InSim and named the baby girl Bunny, she's currently a teen. 2nd child I impregnated the Caliente with Don's kid (InSim again) and named the kid Lucas, Lucas is currently a child. 3rd kid was made naturally and I forgot what I named it... Pretty sure he's a todler though.

Pleasants: Never actually played these ones. I did use InSim to age the twins into adults though so one of my Romance Sims could tap them :P

Broke: Didn't play this family but Don did end up banging Brandi :P

(and I stupidly did it in their house, so his name is now Don Goth ) I've found that it doesn't matter which house they get married in. His or hers, it's irrelevant. The change in surname is dependant on the sim that's active when you click on the wedding arch or when you click on Propose>>Marriage.

At the Goth estate, if you've got Cassandra as the active sim and click on the arch to marry them, Don will get her name. If Don is the active sim when you click on the arch to marry them, then Cassandra will get his last name. It is less about where they are and more about WHO does the asking.

Unless you use the insim, Don can't be the active sim.
Goth: I had Cassandra marry Don, they had four kids, a boy (Donny) a girl (Cassie) then a late in life set of twins, Isabella and Mortimer jr. Don cheated a few times, Cassandra cheated with Darren on thei wedding day, but not after that. They both died of old age. Alexander I had sent to college a day before he turned into an adunt, but I didn't play with him until I sent Cassie and Donny to college. The three of them shared a house with their girlfriends and boyfriend. Donny and Cassie went to college with their lovers, but I found Alexander Brittany Upsnott after. They ended graduating with out her and she ended up dying her Junior year. Alexander ended up marrying Brandi Broke, and they had a set of twin boys. Brandi brought all her kids, but Dustin moved out to go to college shortly after.

Pleasant: I ended up moving Lilith Pleasant in with the Oldies because I thought her parents and sister were unecesarrily mean to her. She got pregnant with a sim I made after Herb died, but before Coral died. Her baby daddy moved in with her, he worked and painted for money, and they married the night after they turned into adults. They moved into a house and had three more children,until they got a girl. Then she had a surprise pregnancy and had another boy. Lilith wanted to be in the Music career track, but kept getting fired. Her husband had a journalism career track and was a Sports columnist.
Angela Pleasant got pregnant with twins after cheating on Dustin with Castor Nova, and after she had her babies, was kicked out by her parents. She and her twins ended up in a trailor and she paid the bills as a legal seceratary. She got engaged to Sheldon Hanby, the mailman, but he never got a job, and muched off of her until she kicked him out.

I never did play with the rest but I'm working on it.

Unless you use the insim, Don can't be the active sim.He can be the active sim if you move him in before the marriage. :)

After they're married, with Cassandra having the Lothario surname, they can be moved back out. And as I redecorate Don's house anyway this is never an issue for me.

It's interesting to see what other's are doing with Pleasantview - I've just started playing Maxi's combined hoods by SaraMK and I'm enjoying playing Pleasantview (along with Strangetown and Veronaville) again.

So far I've only played the Oldie household extensively.
I moved Coral and Herb Oldie into a house with the Singles girls (every old horndogs dream :beer: ) and Herb ended up having (un-cheated) twin boys with Chloe Curious-Smith. Their boys are so cute too; both red heads with their mother's alien eyes.

I can't remember what I named the twins but here are baby pictures here (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb297/miscellaneous_photo/alienbaby1.jpg) and here (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb297/miscellaneous_photo/alienbaby2.jpg) . And also pictures of the boys when they were toddlers, here (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb297/miscellaneous_photo/alienbaby1a.jpg) and here (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb297/miscellaneous_photo/alienbaby2a.jpg)

I've also played the Brokes a wee bit. SaraMK fixed the father details for Brandy's unborn baby and she ended up having a baby girl Tammy (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb297/miscellaneous_photo/TammyandBrandy.jpg) :)

Oh dear... well...

With the Goths, after Cassandra got left at the altar by Don, she called Darren Dreamer over and married him the same night she got jilted, haha. Dirk moved in too. I haven't played them much after that, they kind of bore me.

Don, after he dumped Cassandra, married Nina... or was it Dina? Anyways, he married one of them, and Nina-or-Dina's sister Dina-or-Nina moved in too. Again, haven't played them much.

The Pleasants. Oh, boy. Well, Angela and Lilith went off to College. Lilith's major was Poli Sci and she graduated just fine, Magna Cum Laude. Angela, on the other hand... well, she rolled a want to join the Greek house since she's popularity, so she joined, then moved in with the Tri-Var girls, Tiffany, Heather, and Britanny. Then I decided I wanted Angela to marry another one of my sims... problem was, he was engaged. To make a long story short, Angie tried to kill my sim's fiancee in the fire, but instead ended up taking her own life, not to mention Tiffany's and Heather's. (Britanny and my sim's fiancee escaped, although the fiancee died in ANOTHER suspicious fire... but that's another story.) So Lilith moved back in with her parents. I wanted to start clearing out the Sim Bin, so i moved the Burbs in with them... bad choice. There were WAY too many people in that house, Lucy was getting horrible grades, and Lilith and Jennifer kept getting in catfights. So then Daniel Pleasant fell prey to one of my own sims, Vendetta... he moved in with her, taking Mary-Sue and Lilith along with him. But then Mary-Sue caught him cheating and divorced him, except I accidentally made HIM divorce her, so she was the one that moved out. Anyways, Daniel impregnated Vendetta, Lilith still lives with them, and things are actually going okay.
After Mary-Sue moved out, I decided that the logical thing she would do was move back in with her parents. So I moved her in with Herb and Coral Oldie, and as an afterthough, I moved in the Ramaswamis from Seasons in with them too, just as boarders. Things... didn't go so great. Herb rolled a want to flirt with Priya, so he did. Coral caught them cheating, but instead of breaking up with him she took her own life (read: drowned in the pool. Whoops!). So Mary-Sue was mad at her dad for flirting with Priya, so SHE flirted with Sanjay... and Priya caught them cheating. Priya kicked Sanjay out to the curb (actually, he moved in with Daniel and Lilith and Vendetta, and had an affair with Vendetta... but again, another story.) and married Herb... except she was still pregnant with Sanjay's baby. Now Herb Oldie, Priya Oldie, and their daughter Thalassa Oldie live with Mary-Sue.

I played the Brokes long enough to have Dustin quit his job and Brandi give birth to her son, Criss. They bored me too.

And you already know what happened to the Calientes and the Dreamers, so that's it.

Goth
Mortimer and Dina got married, Alexander grew up to be a teenager. Dina had a child, Christian. And then twins, Tristan and Cameron and finally a girl Imogen. Mortimer Died and when Alexander became an adult he married his step mom Dina. They had twins, Yasmin and Amani. Then they had a son, Tyler. Dina died tragically during pregnancy.

Lothario
Don married Cassandra, they had triplets. Marisa, Carmela and Antonio. Don cheated and Cassandra caught him, she threw him out, he moved into his old house. Don Lothario married Tristan Goth (Yes a boy and yes Dina and Mortimers son).

Pleasent
Mary-Sue threw Daniel out when she caught him in bed with the maid, I made her drink elixir, found her a hunk to marry. She had a girl Lucy, a boy David and then twins, Luke and Trey. Angela and Lilith are friends now. Angela broke up with Dustin and married Dirk Dreamer instead and Lilith broke up with Dirk and married Dustin.

Dreamer
Dirk broke up with Lilith and married Angela (Lilith's twin sister). Darren married Demi (policewoman), they had a daughter Tiffany, then another daughter Mandy and then a son, Reese.

Broke
Brandi had her 3rd child, Calvin. She moved Daniel Pleasant in, had an affiar with him, had a daughter Isolde Pleasant. Brandi eventually married Malcomn Landgraab. I changed her name in SImpe, just to show that and not the initials after. She had children with him (but he wasnt the father), using Insimenator I got her pregnant with the best looking male and then changed the fathers ID to Malcomn. The children were: Andrew, Jason, Melissa and Catherine.

Caliente
Resurrected Micheal Bachelor, who married Dina, had twins with her - Daniel and Franky Bachelor. Then Dina married Mortimer. Nina had a child with Don, Carmelo (named after Don's father), I changed her aspiration to pleasure and married her to Michael Bachelor. They had kids, but I cant think of wo.

Burbs
Didn't really do much with them. As their connection to the existing families wasnt much, I kept it that way. I moved them in. Grew up the daughter, just in case one of my sims in the other houses needed a wife or girlfriend.

Oldies
I moved them into a house renamed them Caroline and Henry. Caroline caught Henry cheating, chucked him out and married an adult NPC. A really cute one. He carried their twins. Ben and Alison. They also had another child (that he carried), I think her name was Nicola. Henry moved in with the Pleasants (Mary-Sue being his adopted daughter anyway) and died later.

Tristan Goth and Isolde Pleasant (Brandi Broke and Daniel Pleasant's daughter) got married. As in the film: Tristan & Isolde.

I had Lillith marry Dirk Dreamer, but that's just boring...they've got very demanding jobs and never see their teenage son, Garron, who has serious anger issues. His only friend is the child of a family I made, named Perion.
Angela Pleasant married a rich guy made by me, and they both perished in a house fire "accident".
Mary Sue and Daniel Pleasant continue to live in their big house and drop by Lillith's house every once in a while to steal her newspaper and harrass her. I want to kill them off, but I think it adds to the storylines I'm developing...ha, guess who's my favorite Pleasantview original character?
Don Lothario married Dina Caliente, cheated with Nina, got caught, married Nina, then turned around and cheated on Nina with the maid. He ended up moving out and becoming a playboy with 12 (!) girlfriends, and eventually died of old age. Nina and Dina each had a kid by him, and every once in a while the kids will think of him in a burning thought bubble. Nina never re-married, but Dina married that Cyd guy that came with Pets. They've bored me to tears by this point, so I just never play them any more.
Cassandra Goth proposed to Don Lothario, he turned her down, and Mortimer beat him up (yes!). She ended up never marrying, and neither did Mortimer. They both died at the same time in a pool, because I was tired to death of both of them. Alexander was hauled away to the orphanage, where he sits in limbo until someone adopts him.
As for the Brokes, well, Angela left Dustin for her sugar daddy, so he married Lucy Burb (!) and had some really hideous kids. They were stunningly ugly. So I moved the whole Burb/Broke household into the family bin and deleted them, and same with the remaining Burbs and Brokes. I was dead tired of them too.
The Oldies really didn't do anything, they just stayed in their house and had uninteresting lives until they both died of old age, within a day of eachother. I thought it was a bit sweet, really.

Wow, everyone's Pleasantview sounds very entertaining. I decided today that I'd restart my game and jumped straight into Pleasantview to play some drama! I was going to organise it under family names but I haven't played all of them and the main 'plot' is all mixed in with each other anyway, so here goes...

I started with the Goths where Cassandra and Don Lothario are about to tie the knot. I'd never noticed the little messgaes that came up before (like when Cassandra kisses Don and it says that kiss was on fire or something or other!!) and I thought it was cute. I tried a make-out but nothing else came up so I proceeded to the wedding arch thinking, as always, poor Cassandra would be ditched but no! That making out kind of did the trick and they married, much to my dismay.
At first I was going to out it without saving but I changed my mind and decided to play it through the old fashioned way. I had Cassie call Darren Dreamer and he autonomously serenaded her (immediately winning her over) and then continued his wooing with a kiss - right infront of Don. Now, I thought Don was stupid but I didn't realise he was a complete iggnorant fool, he watched and did nothing so it took a whole night of arguing to finally break them up!
Cassie split up with Don, taking all his well earned money in the process as revenge for all his indicent activites during their engagement. Don sunk into depression and settled for a small starter house, ready to work his way back up all on his own (what woman wants to be with a womanising slob?!?) whereas Cassie decided Darren was the one.
Mortimer was disgusted, he wanted Cassandra to marry Don because he was a doctor and actually had a career. When he found out about Darren he told his daughter to dump the fantasist or lose him and her inheritence. She, of course, chose Darren and moved out to live with him. She is now married and pregnant, happily pursuing her dream of becoming a police officer, Darren is living his dream of being a teacher and is flying through the levels, quite ironic seems as his not having a job cost Cassandra her fortune!

Wow I'm writing a lot, just a bit more to go I promise!

Mortimer was pretty bummed (okay, devestated) at losing Cassandra but went ahead with his marrige to Dina Caliente regardless. However, the first week of their marriage was rocky as Mortimer's mental state was becoming unstable but Dina was still very much in love. It was only when he hit her that she realised the man she loved had been lost forever, she begged Alexander to leave with her but he refused saying "It's my Dad that needs me, my place is here!"
Mortimer grew increasing insane and the stress of a social services visit threw him over the edge. When the next visit came, the woman found Mortimer dead in his armchair, with Alex crying beside him.
Mortimer's will was read, Cassandra, Alexander and Dina would receive nothing, all his money was to be burnt and his house demolished, also, Alexander had to go into care and both Cassandra and Dina were stictly ruled out of being his guardians. By his death at the age of 64, Mortimer Goth had caused everyone to hate him.
Cassandra is in the middle of a battle to prove that Mortimer was mentally unstable and to claim the will devoid but her lawyer says it will be next to impossible to do it. She did, however, find one loop hole. The money from his life insurance was still availble for them. Both of his children got $2000 and his wife (Dina) received $10,000. Dina has decided to put half of the money aside with the intention of helping Cassandra fight for parental rights of her brother, Alexander, and spent the rest of the money bringing a little happiness into her and Nina's lives.

Wow, I'm hard on the drama, that was two hours well spent I think :). I hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as I did playing it, lol.
Well I guess it's to be continued until my next update!

Well some of you may smack me for what i've done to the Dreamer and Broke family, but I know mad Tae kwon do Skills :taekwondo ! (haha I wish) Anyways it all started when i was bored like a week ago and I just entered the Broke family for the first time since i reinstalled the game.

Brandy had just hit her first trimester of her pregnancy and she seemed extremely lonely. Her babies needed a father that would look after then, and besides one of her "wants" was to go onto a date. I called up the Gypsy lady and payed her 5,000 simoleons for a date (yes i know she didn't really have the money to do that, but perhaps it was worth it.)

The gypsy gazed into her crystal ball and seeked out the perfect match for Brandy. Seconds later I was amazed about who I saw standing proudly there infront of Brandy...Darren Dreamer! They were introduced and they hit it off automadically. I could see that they had never met before, because their relationship was so low when the date started.

Most of the things Darren wanted on the date had to do with Cassandra, but I figured that she still had Don and she could still have a chance of getting married to him. Brandy made sure that Darren's mind was away from Cassandra and on her.

The beginging of the date was great. A dinner, some bowling, etc. The date ended up in Brandy's bedroom. That was the cherry ontop of the cake for their date and it ended up being a dream date with Darren constantly leaving gifts on her doorstep. (Trust me there was no room).

They eventually decided to go on another date ending with Darren proposing to Brandy. Right now they are still engaged while Brandy is in her second trimester. They plan to get married shortly after she has her third baby, then they plan to start a family of their own. Darren hopes to add 4 more kids of his own to the family and Brandy really doesn't care just as long as Darren's in her life.

Although I dislike the Brandi-Darren pairing (He belongs with Cassie and I always pair Brandi with Chester Gieke) it's sweet that she's found someone who loves her. Now I've got a little update of my own...

Don Lothario is close to depression, he's living in a dingy little bungalow and he's all alone. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of Nina Caliente. She offers to move in and at first Don is estacic and accepts, but a bit of time alone makes him realise he can't trust himself. When Nina returns with her belongings he breaks the news - she can only be with him when he completely trusts himself. When questioned when this will be he admitted he didn't know but that one day a test will take place and then he'll know.
Over at the Pleasant's Daniel think's he's handling life perfectly, he's bedded the maid three days in a row and he's even getting on with everyone (even Lilith!). But his days of bragging that he has 'woohoo on tap' from two women are over when Mary-Sue finds him with Kaylynn Langerak, the maid.
With nowhere else to turn Kaylynn begs Don Lothario for a place to crash and so Kaylynn, Don and Daniel unwittingly become housemates in the cramped enviroment of Don temporary hole of a home. When Don realises that he is attracted to Kaylynn, he knows the test he talked about has come, and things get even more complicated when Lilith Pleasant drops around and he starts flirting with her, not even noticing what he's doing! Will this guy ever me ready for a proper relationship?
Meanwhile... at the Dreamer's Darren returns home with news of a promotion but Cassandra has news of her own - she's about to give birth, with their gardener as the make-shift midwife!

Not so small I guess... I just love Pleasantview!

This is a cute thread. I have been playing for about year and a few weeks ago decided to reinstall pleasantview. I sit with my mother in law who has alzhimers...it is a good way to kill time while she watchs Little House on the Prarie or 100th time.
Pleasants-
Both Lilth and Angela got pregnant as teens. Lilth's parents kicked her out of the house and her and Dirk moved into a tiny one room trailer. They just were able to keep social services from taking their daughter. When the baby reached shool age Lilth moved off to college where she still is living in a nice little apt. Angela's parents let her stay at home till the baby came. Mary-Sue actually gave birth to a son the day after Angela had her daughter. Angela moved in with Lilth at college but it didn't last long. Angela and Dustin currently live in basement Dainel and Mary-sue's house.
Brokes- I have not played at all except Dustin who moved to college..while there he fell for a girl ( something Mellon)at his dorm and I ended up using her to start a poverty challenge. I can't recall her name but I got to the 5th genration and eveyone died of a flu outbreak except her single almost elederly son she had by Mortimer Goth...( all the women in that family had huge attractions to Mortimer :confused: ).

Played the Burbs earlier...

Burb
John got a job in law enforcement and Jennifer got a job in the medical career, they were both happy climbing the ranks but money was short and Jennifer was beginning to get desperate. She searched the internet for ways of making money but all seemed impossible. One day she told John she wanted another baby; he was over the moon but didn’t really know what her real intentions were.
Desperate to get her away from public school scum (like the Brokes) Jennifer invited the headmaster around to dinner, Lucy grew up to a teenager, threw a party with her friends, got drunk and then (icing on the cake) Jennifer gave birth while the Headmaster was there (a boy named Liam Burb was born) but surprising Lucy still got accepted. Little did Jennifer know that Beau had already been attending public school, so she was just pushing her daughter closer to him!
Shortly after the birth baby Liam went missing, Lucy and John were devastated but Jennifer seemed less so and even had a smile on her face as she was suddenly able to afford the new house she had wanted for so many months (9 and a half to be exact;])!
Lucy lost grades at school and got a demotion in her job in politics, John was allowed time off work and so was Jennifer but only John chose to accept it. John finally snapped and demanded to know what was going on but he wasn’t prepared for the revelation, Jennifer had sold their baby for $10,000 and had to intention of getting him back.
Lucy is close to running away, and with the new risky of pregnancy when run away flavour pack for the inteenimater… who knows what will happen!

I've pulled Brandi and Beau out of the sim bin, and Brandi is now dating Tom Delgado (the sim in my avatar, formerly my character in Shenanagin's rp, which I sadly had to quit). Brandi finally had her third kid, a boy named Gabriel, and the four of them are living the cramped life in Tom's one room trailer. It's so trashy you wouldn't even believe...Beau is sleeping on a matress on the roof. I can't wait until he's old enough to go to college.

I'm notorious for completely mutilating all preexisting relationships and substituting my own. Therefore, the Goth house has relocated to Strangetown. No one in Pleasantview remembers them so no one gets their feelings hurt.
Don: Is living in his condo with Nina after throwing a party including Dina, Nina, and the Maid. It was a terrible idea, because he ended up autonomously flirting with Nina. The other girls were not pleased.
Dina: Has found new love! Turns out, she isn't such a gold digger after all!
The Pleasants: Ugh. They're a nightmare. Mary Sue and Daniel broke it off. Mary Sue kept the house and Angela, while Daniel got stuck in a cheap condo with Lilith.
The Oldies: Are boring.
Broke: Brandi forged a new life for her and her sons with Dina. It never even crossed my mind to make them a couple until they started rolling wants to flirt with each other. It couldn't say no, they're so cute together!

Julieth: Mattress on the roof! Ha! I mean...that's terrible. Hee hee...

The Goths:
Mortimer married Dina and died shortly after. Dina had twins with Morty. Girls named Regina and Danielle. After Mortimer died, Dina decided to move out with the twins and Alex. She didn't want to live in that "old shack"/the Goth house. I will move her into a fancy, luxorious house but she is still in the Sim Bin.
Dina and Cassandra became enemies because Cassandra suspected Dina of just being after her dad's money.

Nina Caliente:
Nina is now living with Malcolm Ladgraab and they are engaged. She is still having affairs with Don and a townie (I don't remember the name) and she is looking for more love.

Lothario: I didn't do much. Don left Cassandra by the altar without "getting into her pants". He did woohoo with Dina and Nina.

Dreamer: Cassandra and Darren married and Darren became such a cute geek after a makeover I gave him. I changed Dirk's gangsta style with a rocker one because I cannot stand gangstas..... And I love making black rockers, metallers and goths. And of course.... I wanted him and Lilith's styles to match each other more.

Oldie: I hate them. They are boring and the sad, tragicomical thing is that the oldies are too young to be Mary-Sue's parents. She is growing faster than them.....
I just moved them into a house and did nothing more.....

Burb: so boring. I moved them into a house and I had them try for a baby.

Pleasant: Daniel cheated on Mary-Sue with Kaylynn but she didn't find out. Angela and Lilith just attacked each other.

Broke: Brandi gave birth to Eric Broke (little cute baby) and Dustin found out that he was tired of Angela and wanted a new "sexy babe" to play with. He's looking for a new one...

16th Jul 2007, 06:18 PM

in my old game it went as follows (re-installed and haven't touched them since!)

Cassandra married Don and had a little girl called Isabella, at the same time Don had cheated with Kaylynn and she got pregnant. Cassandra left Don after she found out about his on-going afair with Nina.

Mary-Sue and Daniel divorced and Daniel asked Kaylynn to move in. Kaylynn soon gave birth to Don Lothario's son, Demitri, then had twins with Daniel shortly before he died of old age. Mary-Sue was killed because she bores me.

Angela went to college and then married a CAS...but thats as far as I got with her because she was a bit dull.
Lilith and Dirk had twin girls and a son.

Dina married Morty who soon died leaving Dina and Alexander the big house and all the money. Dina then woohoo'd Alexander and had a son. Dina, with the finicial support from Alexander (through the child!) left and married Don.

Nina wasn't too pleased and after having Don's daughter died leaving the child in the care of her father and her sister; with Dina and Alexanders son. Don was refused access to his child with Kaylynn and saw his oldest, Isabella on weekends.

Cassandra and Isabella moved into a lovely house and it remained the two of them.

The Oldies were just left to die! (thats quite harsh when I word it like that!)

Darren Dreamer married Brandi Broke; Beau, Dustin and (baby) Zachary...I can't remember!! I think they may have gone to college. The Brokes were a bit rubbish also!

and as for the Burbs; they are still as they were at the beginning of the game!

19th Jul 2007, 02:33 AM

Goth: I aged Morty back down to an adult and..that's all I did besides move Cassandra out.

Pleasents: Daniel is still cheating but I think that Mary-Sue is pregnant with Don Lothario's child(;) Daniel isn't the only one who can cheat.) but Daniel and Mary-Sue are still together. Angela was 'accidentily' hit by lightning and Lilith is married to Dirk and is cheating(o.o Like her father) on him with one of my sims.

Dreamer: Dirk is married to Lilith and currently has a little brother. Darren married another sim of mine and.. yeah.

Broke: I haven't really touched them yet, but I plan on pairing the oldest Broke boy with a middle eastern sim of mine. :)

Lotario: He's living with BOTH Dina and Cassandra and BOTH of them are pregnant at the same time. xD They haven't had the babies yet, but they will. ;)

Caliente: Kicked Nina out and Dina and Don and Cassandra are all living together. (Dina and Cassandra don't know that Don is going out with both of them.)

Burb: Never played them.

Oldies: I've never played them either. XD

I love that Maxis is progressive enough to allow gay relationships in their game so I have lots of gay couples. I had a male version of HP's fantastic Pariah sim fall in love and marry Darren Dreamer. They are currently living in the Dreamer house as Darren improves his career enough for them to move out. Dirk has since gone on to college. Someday I'll sit through it long enough for him to finish school.

I don't like that Don screws around so much so I make sure he never ends up with any of his lovers.

I used a cheat to make the Oldies adults again so they can start their lives all over. They both actually look pretty awesome with HP's default skin replacements. I've been playing them recently; need to get them some kids.

How true.... sims would be utterly boring with out that.

Dreamers: Just getting restarted with them again, resurrected Darleen when I rebuilt hoods. Dirk is currently very near graduating college here. Feel in love with Crave, not my doing, heards the love chimes, both kissing in the lavatory LOL. Will be moving back home with his parents. Darleen is expecting soon (pregancy is currently suspended) and expanding their home. Darren will be getting a art store (fitting i think) as soon as he's got enough money. Update: Dirk and his SO just graduated and moved back home. $40,000 is a nice boost to the family.

Broke: Dustin turned YA and lose interest in the pleasant girl. Went to college, never found a date (this was before I had nightlife). Moved back home, then moved them into a bigger nicer home. He's currently got the hots for Crave's mom (kinda odd, but whatever floats your boat). Beau just went to college and feel in love with one of the dormies, Glen. Make a cute blond couple LOL. The youngest is still a kid. Brandi feel in love with Benjamin Long.

Pleasants: Nothing done yet, someday a teen will get a three bolt to one of the girls. After rebuilding, theres no scripted events, so Daniel and Mary are a happy couple, maid didn't make it to the new hood. They just have two problem kids that hate each other.

Goths: Haven't bothered yet. (Only Cassandara isn't in love with Don anymore). Only good thing is Mortimer is no longer the telescope pusher anymore, so he's finally making friends.

Don: Currently just being himself. Eventually I want him to get abducted. Some green friends for Johnny Smith.

Caliente: Haven't bothered, just no love for Mortimer.

Burb and Oldies: got deleted, never had a chance to play.

But I think Maxis are too conservative at some points. Why have ALL of the maxis couples waited with woohoo 'till after marriage?
It's not realistic today..... Well.... Not all have waited with woohoo until marriage but most have.

I have noticed that I never get the Woo Hoo option until my Sims are at least engaged. Is that the case or is it that I always tried it with people who didn't like each other enough?

Why have ALL of the maxis couples waited with woohoo 'till after marriage? It's not realistic today..... Well.... Not all have waited with woohoo until marriage but most have. The Ottomas grandma never married and Don Lothario woohooed with Kaylynn.

Also, in Veronaville, the Summerdreams (Titiana and Oberon) begin as a couple who are only living together who have woohoo-ed. Of course, Maxis goes out of their way to let you know that their kids are adopted (heaven forbid any of them had kids out of wedlock).

On topic: My first go-round in Pleasantview was by the script, pretty much (Angela marries Dustin, Cassandra marries Darren, etc.). I did have Dina and Daniel have twins, and Brandi married Mortimer (they were surprisingly adorable).

Right now I'm playing a combined 'hood of all three Maxis 'hoods, and it's been lots of fun because I'm also forcing myself to mix it up a bit, lol. So far:

-Lilith and Dustin had a fling (and were busted by both of their significant others), resulting in Lilith giving birth to twins Liam and Janis.

-Thanks to InSim, Cassandra left Don at the altar, leaving him devastated and Alexander cracking up on the sidelines (really!). Newly-resurrected Bella is already flirting with Don, however. I'm leaning towards hooking Cassie up with Lazlo Curious from Strangetown.

More later, I think!

I downloaded a merged Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville and put it in my neighborhoods folder. It was a RAR file. Do I need to do something special? Un-Rar it? I'm not too good at that stuff. Do I need to delete the neighborhoods already in the folders?

29th Jul 2007, 03:32 AM

Okay. Haven't played default hoods in a while so I don't have any current exploits. But this is more a mishmash of past things I've done.

Dreamers: Have had a hard time doing much with them. Don't really like playing Darren. Can't really explain it. He has a likable enough backstory. He strikes me kinda like health food. We're SUPPOSED to like him so much I have trouble actually doing it. I did set him up with Cassandra once and with a CAS another time. But I tend to wish Darren were the dead one and Darleen had lived. Oh and I usually encourage Dirk's relationship with Lillith Pleasant.

Goths: It's weird but I don't think I've ever played with the wedding arch. So nobody's ever left anybody at the altar. Ole Morty doesn't usually have a relationship except maybe with Dina. Alexander stays geekified and is generally a social misfit when I play him. Can't remember ever having given him a girlfriend. But Cassandra has caught Don cheating in grand fashion. I let Don get "confused" one time and invite both Nina and Cassie over at the same time. Don's in bed with Nina, Cass walks up the stairs to find them still and mid-woo hoo and flips. Was so hard to co-ordinate but a classic moment to be sure.

Brokes: Poor dear Brandi. She's had such a rough time of it in my game. I've tried pairing her with various townies but nobody's really worked for me. I tried pairing her with a rich CAS guy but I got bored of him too quickly. So that didn't last like it could have. Just about the only time she's had any good relationship luck in my games was the time she was having lesbian hot tub parties with the Caliente sisters. Dustin always loses his job because it's such a pain to get teens to work and do homework on the same day. And again I encourage the relationship with Angela. Although they bore more than Dirk & Lilith do. Beau does kid stuff and her bun in the oven when the game starts hasn't ever gotten past babydom that I recall. Not that I kill him off or anything. Just a nuisance to have him in their default house.

Calientes: Aside from the lesbian tub parties with Brandi, the best time I had with them was the time I had them both try to do Don back to back at their place. I couldn't keep the first sister (Nina IIRC) well enough pre-occupied and she caught the other one in bed with him. Naturally this brought their relationship crashing down on their heads. Sadly I hadn't figured out how to back up neighborhoods then and installing Uni cost me that game.

Pleasants: Nothing terribly exciting. Just letting the girls do stuff with Dustin and Dirk and Daniel laying the maid. Most exciting twist I've done is having Lillith catch him instead of Mary Sue. Actually I think a fun story for someone to do would be Pleasantview after the Pleasant relations were killed in a plane crash going to a family reunion.

Burbs: I so want to like this family. John and Jennifer are a cute couple and Lucy appears to be the perfect little angel. But they strike me as a prime example of a family who'd be better out of town. Sadly every time I put them in Pleasantview they tend to get lost in the shuffle.

Oldies: Parents of Mary Sue who I'm not really fond of to start with. Their biggest time in the sun in my game was when I let them adopt once to see if I could get an adoption pool toddler to adult before they kicked off. The kid didn't quite make it. They died during her teen years.

I've been thinking recently of getting the updated Prima guide and seeing what their regimen for Pleasantview is. I've never had one of these guides before being a veteran gamer. But I figure it might help me with playing heavily populated hoods.

Don: Fooled around with Nina Caliente a lot, and after she got pregnant he moved in with her. They had another 4 children before Don cheated on Nina with the maid, and then moved back into his old place and the maid joined him. He then had twins with the maid, and is now considoring moving out so he can try to reclaim his title of 'most wanted party boy' in Pleasentview, which is currently held by Lombard Goth.

Cassandra: Was ditched at the altar by Don of course, so took the money left to her by her mother ($100,000) brought the Burb's mansion and moved in by herself. She couldn't stand having a relationship with anyone but Don (and Darren was now married) so decided to adopt children. She ended up adopting Beau, and is now thinking of adopting again now that Beau is settled in.

Mortimer: Married Dina Caliente, and they had twins - Christopher and Clarabelle. Just before they reached toddler age he died unexpectedly. At the same time Alexander got ill, so was unable to help Dina trying to take care of the kids whilst maintaining her party-lifestyle, which resulted in Dina getting old before her time. Alexander recovered and reached adult age, and continued to raise his twin half-siblings whilst Dina appeared to collapse into herself, and also died prematurely. Post mortem revealed that she had accidently ingested the poison that was used to kill Mortimer.

Alexander: Missed out on his teenage years because he had to care for Christopher and Clarabelle (Dina and Mortimer's twins), and also had to care for Dina as she grew more and more frail and aged prematurely. He buried Dina next to Mortimer. Not long after Christopher and Clarabelle were teenagers, and Alexander was marrying his long-term friend and work colleage Brandi, who, after finding herself enjoying the 'high class' decided she would change her name to Brandice. Alexander and Brandice have 3 children; Lombard, Lancelot and Henrietta.

Christopher: Moved out and lived by himself, and within a short amount of time became a werewolf and then, in turn, the Chief of the Pleasantview Werewolves. It was through the 'werewolf moon meetings' that he met Brandi Broke, who he married to the shame of Brandice, who wanted her husband's half-brother to marry a high-class woman she had in mind. To spite him Brandice refused to give him the money his father left for him. Alexander is too smitten with Brandice to notice this. Christopher and Brandi had a daughter, Stephanie.

Clarabelle: Grew up and almost straight away got engaged and then married to a man who Alexander introduced her too (can't remember his name). She had twin girls, and a son who are still in toddler/baby age.

Lombard: Being the new 'Don Lothario' of the town, he met Jayne Caliente - Nina's daughter, and they quickly became lovers and then married. However, Jayne was also seeing 5 other lovers and Lombard was seeing 2 other women (including Coral Oldie!) so the marriage collapsed very publically. Brandice refuses to disown him, as he was always her favourite son, but calls him 'the shame on the family' and continues to ignore him. Jayne had a child while with him before their affairs started, who Lombard now looks after.

Lancelot: Lives alone, and concentrates on work. Recieved his brother's half of the $50,000 they were each left, but lives with only the essentials. Has a girlfriend, who he may propose to, and then move out and build his own mansion at his mother's 'suggestion'.

Henrietta: Is Brandice and Alexander's pride and joy, after the failure of Christopher and Lombard, Clarabelle's choice to live a quiet privallaged domestic life, and Lancelot's rather 'simple' exsistance. Henrietta is a copy of her mother, and like her wears lots of make-up, her hair in intricate styles and expensive, showy dresses. She is only a teenager, but already aspires to marry a rich, well-respected man with a large mansion to raise the children in.

Dina: Married Mortimer for his money, and then fell out with Nina after Nina told her that Mortimer was a creepy old man who only sees her blonde hair and youth. Dina spiraled into depression after Christopher and Clarabelle were born, and poisoned Mortimer - thinking that what Nina said was true. After he died, she was overcome with guilt and was unable to care for her children herself. Grew old before her time, and then died of a mix of depression and accidently ingested poison.

Nina: Had 5 children with Don Lothario, and then married Remington (the maid) with whom she had one daughter: Raine, before they both entered their golden years. Her children included some twins; Jayne and her brother Kieran.

Jayne: Got married very quickly to Lombard Goth so she could join the higher circles, and had a son she named Benjamin. Become the lover of many sims, including: Brandi Broke, Joshua Broke (the son Brandi was pregnant with in the beginning), Herb Oldie, Daniel Pleasant, Darren, Dirk, and Lilith. In turn Lombard became lovers with Coral Oldie and the maid, so their marriage collapsed. Jayne moved into a house of her own, leaving her prized poodle and son, were she continued to see her lovers until she gave birth to Daniel Pleasant's children - twin girls named Penelope and Daphne. She then later got married to a NPC Sim, and none of her lovers were invited to the wedding.

Brandi: Gave birth to another son, Joshua. Beau was taken by the social worker for bad grades, and then adopted by Cassandra. She later married Christopher Goth and they both became werewolves.

Dustin: Moved out, and married Angela. She is expecting a child.

Beau: Was adopted by Cassandra. Has forgotten that Brandi was his mother, but still keeps in contact. In comparison to how he lived before, Cassandra's expensive, luxuary home with a very large bedroom just for him is very strange, and he is very quiet. Still a child.

Daniel Pleasant: Fathered two sets of children. Had an affair with Kathryn Langerak which produced twins - Kieran and Kathryn jnr. Kathryn looks just like Angela Pleasant, which gave Daniel away but Mary Sue has forgiven him. Kathryn Langerak died before Daniel, and Kieran married a NPC woman in a 'werewolf' style wedding. Kathryn currently lives alone in her mother's old house, concentrating on her career. The second pair of twins was with Jayne Caliente, who unlike Kathryn is very open about who the father is, and also regrets her behaviour with him, and her daughters Penelope and Daphne know who their father is, who attends all their birthdays.

Mary Sue: Didn't do anything with her. Forgives Daniel and still sees Kathryn and Kieran occasionally, but sees Penelope and Daphne more often, and is also friends with Jayne Caliente.

Angela: Got married to Dustin, and is expecting a child.

Lilith: Got married to Dirk as soon as she could. They currently have a son.

Darren: Married a sim of my creation named Naminé White. They had 2 children, however Darren had an affair with Jayne Caliente, which he has still not admitted to yet.

Dirk: Married Lilith. They have one son.

Burbs: Did nothing with them. They bore me too much. Moved them out of their house so Cassandra could move in.

Oldies: Both Coral and Herb had an affair, which they have both decided to forget about and move on. They adopted a child - Andrew - so they could feel young again when they were raising their children.

Oh, my, this will take awhile. I keep track of how many days I've played each of my households so I play them evenly, and each Sim day equals 1 year. So far, I've gotten my Pleasantview through 30 years (this time, at least - I've had to reinstall and start over a few times before) and let me tell you, a LOT has changed....

Don: He and Cassandra were married for just a year before she caught him cheating with Dina. Unfortunately, Cass was already pregnant by that point, but she still divorced him. Don move into a beach house and lived the bachelor's life for awhile until he got Roxie Sharpe (from Uni) pregnant. She moved in, and they raised their son Dominic together. They had an open relationship though, since she was also a romance sim. Just when Dominic was about to become an adult, Roxie got pregnant again and had a girl, Adriana. Don also fathered a baby girl with Emily Lee (also from Uni) soon after. Don and Roxie are still together, and Adriana is a toddler. His other daughter was adopted by another family.

Cassandra: Married to Don briefly, but started flirting with Darren after she and Don split up. She moved in with him when she was still pregnant with Don's son, Gabriel. Got pregnant by Darren right after having Gabriel, and had another boy, Michael. Got pregnant AGAIN right after that and had Remiel. She focused on her science career after that while Darren stayed home with the boys and painted. She died at the age of 32.

Mortimer: Married Dina, and they had one son, Kelvin, before he died. Also had an ongoing relationship with Brandi, who was trying to get pregnant. It didn't happen though, and Morty died at 72.

Alexander: Dated Lucy throughout his teenage years and accidentally got her pregnant during that time. They were way too young, so the baby was put up for adoption. Went to college, but still kept in contact with Lucy. They got married after he graduated, and had another baby, Julia. Then they decided to "take back" their first child, Olivia, who had been adopted by Mary-Sue. They had a son Thomas, but then Olivia died when she was 16. Alexander is a congressman now, and Lucy is a journalist. They've had a pretty good relationship, but Alex has a thing for Dina and has been messing around with her.

Dina: Married Mortimer and had a son, Kelvin. After Morty died, she went a little crazy and woohoo'd with anything that moved. Started a relationship with Remington the maid and eventually asked him to move in because she wanted another baby. Unfortunately, Remington also liked Kelvin, who was an adult by then. Dina caught them in bed while she was pregnant and promptly kicked both of them out. Dina is now raising their daughter Ava by herself.

Nina: She ran a brothel out of her home for just a few years, but it was so successful that she was able to buy a mansion. She also got pregnant by Jonah Powers (Uni) at that time and had twins, Lola and Joaquin. She closed the brothel and started a career in the adult film industry, where she's been very successful. Daniel eventually moved in with her and they had an open relationship until his death. Now her kids are grown, she's pushing 50 and still going out with guys half her age, including Joaquin's boyfriend Charlie (Angela's son).

Brandi: Brandi had her son, who I named Chase, and immediately wanted another baby. But thanks to twojeff's ACR mod, it was pretty difficult for her to get pregnant. She got a job as a secretary to support the boys, but every night she invited a man over to try to get knocked up. She alternated between Darren and Mortimer with no luck. Then when John and Jennifer split up, he moved in with Brandi. They got married and constantly tried to conceive. Brandi finally got pregnant and had a girl, Ryleigh. Brandi died at the age of 54.

Dustin: Went steady with Angela, but he got dumped when Angela decided to go after Dirk instead. Dirk messed around with Lilith for awhile (to get back at Angela), but eventually discovered that he was more attracted to Mary-Sue. She invited him over to woohoo a lot and they got married when he was 22. They later had twin boys, Mason and Sawyer. After Mary-Sue became an elder, Dustin lost interest in her and started an affair with a teenage girl from down the street. Mary-Sue found out, but since she and Dustin were both fortune sims, they decided not to get a divorce since it would divide their assets. Mary-Sue is gone now, so Dustin got engaged to his (much younger) mistress, who is a college student now.

Beau: Beau is a romance sim, but he's not the jerky "love 'em and leave 'em" type. He's more of the hopeless romantic, I guess. He met Cynthia Kim (who I made a townie, along with her husband and son) and set about trying to woo her. He eventually got her to move in with him, but she never fell in love with him (curse you, romancemod!) Anyway, they had a daughter together named Zaina, but Beau eventually gave up on Cynthia. She moved out, and he started seeing Tessa Ramirez. They lived together now and are expecting their first child together.

Chase Broke: (Brandi's unborn child at the beginning) He died when he was 16, so I didn't get to play him much.

Daniel Pleasant: Got caught cheating by Mary-Sue, so she divorced him and kicked him out. He moved into a small house and accidentally got Kaylynn pregnant, so they got married. They had 4 kids altogether: Sarah, Andrew, and Ethan and Rachel (twins). Then Kaylynn caught Dan getting it on with Roxie Sharpe on the living room couch, so she kicked him out. He moved in with Nina, and they had a lovely open relationship. He died at 71.

Mary Sue: Recap of above: Divorced Daniel, messed around with Dustin. They got married, had twin boys. Caught Dustin with an underage girl and hated him until she died (recently) at the age of 72. She was also a successful politician.

Angela: Went steady with Beau, but was a total floozie in college. She got pregnant by a dormie her freshman year and had a boy, Charlie. Then she decided to go after Dirk, just to spite Lilith. She broke up with Beau and proceeded to get Dirk to break up with Lilith. Angela and Dirk got married while Dirk was still in college, and they had 3 kids together (Sorin, Kamaria, and Danika). Dirk left her for another woman, and she was left to raise the kids on her own. Sadly, she died just 2 years later at the age of 36.

Lilith: Lilith was already pregnant with Dirk's child when he broke up with her to be with Angela. She had a girl and named her Elysia. She and Elysia lived in a small house by themselves until she met Tyson Newton, the mailman. They hit it off, had a son named Damien, and got married. They later adopted a little boy, Zimri. Lilith became an executive chef, and Tyson worked for many years as a police officer. He switched to a safer job as a banker, but then he died a year later. Lilith is now raising Zimri (who just became a teenager) on her own and dating Robert Kim.

Darren: Married Cassandra and had 2 sons with her, Michael and Remiel. He fooled around with Brandi, and then met Lisa Ramirez. They had 3 bolts for each other and immediately started an affair. They kept it low-key and Cassandra never found out. Right after Cassandra died, Darren moved Lisa in and married her the same day. Nice. Anyway, he and Lisa had a son together, Armando. Darren died at 59, the day before he was to become an elder.

Dirk: Fathered a child with Lilith, then married Angela and had 3 kids with her. He kind of got around in college, and he kept in VERY close touch with one of his old roommates, Ellen Frost. Dirk had actually never fallen in love with Angela, so when Ellen got pregnant, Dirk saw that as a sign that he was supposed to be with Ellen instead. So he left Angie and married Ellen, who had a girl, Neva. They also had a son, Kai. Dirk is currently upset with Ellen for flirting with Dustin (her co-worker), so he's reconnected with the newly single Lilith. Also, his half-brother Armando moved in with them when Lisa died.

Jennifer: She and John went on to have 2 more children, Jack and Kate. She wasn't all that attracted to John, so she started pursuing other relationships. She messed around with Nina for awhile, and they eventually got caught by John. John divorced her and left her with the kids. Lucy was a teenager, Jack was a child, and Kate was just a baby. She had an off/on relationship with Jason Larson for several years, but it just never seemed right. She met Clifford Pope, a waiter, and they were VERY attracted to each other. They just got married, and Jennifer will become an elder soon.

John: After he caught Jennifer cheating, John sought comfort from his friend, Brandi. They fell in love and got married, and they later had a baby girl together. Unfortunately, Brandi died when Ryleigh was a teenager, leaving John alone to raise a teenage girl. John was already friends with Kaylynn, who was recently divorced from Daniel, but they only had 1-bolt attraction with each other. Still, Kaylynn was hell-bent on getting married again, so they tied the knot. John doesn't care for Kaylynn much, but they get along okay. Kaylynn is 53 and still hoping to have another baby - crazy woman. Anyway, John is the vice president of his company and distracts himself from his loveless marriage by spending plenty of time with his grandchildren.

Lucy: Recap of above: Got pregnant at 14, but gave the baby up for adoption. Later married Alexander, had 2 more kids, and took back the first one they had together. Lucy's recently become friends with Remington, and she'll probably end up with him if Alex leaves her for Dina.

The Oldies: The moved in with Mary-Sue after she kicked Daniel out. They helped raise Angela's son Charlie and bred dogs. They both died when they were 80 years old.

Don dumps Casandra at the aisle, she gets knocked up by the man maid, they get married, move in togeather, then she finds him in bed with another man and kicks him out. Then she raises the kid(s) togeather.

This is what happened the last time i played, i think i'll repeat it this time also. With the exception that i'll make her move out soon and become a hippy before she gets any kids.

The rest of the Goth household are not so interesting. I play them till Alexsander becomes a teen and Mortimore dies, but one of my families need Mortimor's friendship to succeed in his career, so i cant kill the man yet.

For the exception of Brandy - all other maxis sims get deleted.

I found the Goth family the most interesting - the Pleasant family the least interesting.

On my game, Alexander now has grandchildren and is widowed.

My Pleasantview Families

Pleasants: Only right to start with them, probably the least played family up and till last night. Daniel and Mary Sue patched things up and Kay was shown the door, even though she still insists on the doing the cleaning. Lilith went to college with Dirk, Beau, Elvis, Meadow and some other townie that I can't remember at this point. Dan and Mary Sue also adopted a little boy, child stage named Knut. Angela attended later with Alex Goth, Lucy Burb and a load of townies.

Goth: Don left Cassandra at the alter and Cass cried alot. Mortimer then went to the front of the house and proposed to Dina. Alex went off to collage with Angela, Lucy and the townie partners. Morty and Dina married and she is now pregnant. Cassandra attended Brandi's wedding and met Dustin, they are now engaged to be married.

Brokes: My favourite family. Brandi gave birth to her third son Elvis and Dustin quit his job in the Crimanal Career track and switched to medical. Brandi met Darren Dreamer and they got married. They re-did the house, that looks fantastic by the way and even added a pool (finally), Dirk moved into too. Dustin grew up leaving Little Miss Pleasant behind. Anyway... Elvis grew to a teen, joining Beau and Dirk. The three boys went to collage leaving Brandi, Darren, Dustin and now Cassandra who he had fallen for and moved in. Brandi then gave up birth to twins, Sophie and Milo. Cassie loves them. So a little regig of the house but all seems well. Cass and Dustin got engaged and later at college so did Beau, Dirk and Elvis. Dirk to Lilith, Elvis to Meadow Thayer and Beau to some ginger townie. I'll up picks up and find out her name later.

Caliente: Miss Dina got what she wanted and married Mortimer Goth. Nina however was left with the house and the urn of Michael B. She got rid of that and got shacked up and hitched to Don. They like causing trouble Downtown :eviltongu

Biggs: Left college after the death of her lesbian lover, the one with the funky glasses, the artist from La Tech or whatever it is. Marla moved in next door to the Calientes and so far has kept herself to herself. With the urn of her deceased lover in the kitchen! Worked out got thin and had a fight with Nina. That's all really!

Other Residents: Burbs my younger brother is playing and quite well too. Lucy went to college and John and Jen had a baby named Hannah (I think that's her name). Herbs no one cares about, I might go and kill them off! Leonardo Zain, made in CAS is currently living it large in his studio flat. Got his eyes on Marla Biggs though.

My Pleasantview Families

Goth

Mortimer and Dina had a strange love affair that ended badly. Dina left Mortimer at the wedding alter while she was in her 2nd trimester. This left Mortimer heartbroken. Dina moved back into the house she and Nina shared and eventually gave birth to their daughter Bethany Marie Caliente-Goth. Mortimer died when Bethany was a child. They were very close. Mortimer has 9 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, and 36 great-great grandchildren.

Cassandra married Don and dealt with his many women. She and Don had 3 children together: Benjamin, Rebecca, and Thomas. Cassandra currently has 7 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. They are still married.

Alexander was a bit of a loner till his went to college. There he met his college sweetheart Callie Tellerman. They got married and had 4 children: Ethan, Daphne, and twins William and Tiffany. Alexander has 7 children and 18 great grandchildren.

Bethany spent most of her life caught between her mother Dina and her half-sister Cassandra. She chose to continue to live with her mother and brother Chase (father: Don Lothario) despite urging from Alexander. She eventually went to college and married a CAS named Kurt Reardon (who has another child from an affair). They had 2 children together: Madison and Sebastian. Bethany has 4 grandchildren.

Caliente

Dina got involved with Mortimer. They never married but she did have a child together: Bethany Marie Caliente-Goth. After Mortimer died, Dina find comfort in good friend and former lover Don Lothario. Don was married to Cassandra at the time, but they started an affair anyways. Dina became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, Chasen. This caused the tension between Cassandra and Dina to intensify. They are still enemies to this day. Dina has 4 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Nina was more low-key than her sister. She maintained 3 stable relationships throughout her adult years. Once Dina found herself pregnant again she decided it was time to move out of her sister’s chaotic world. Nina moved in with long time boyfriend CAS Aaron Walker and soon after married him. Together they had one child, a daughter named Allison. Nina has 3 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Chasen in some ways was the apples of his father’s eye. He looked the most like Don and was the only one of his children to inherit his green eyes (due to his own mother’s eyes no doubt). This caused a slight bit of jealously between Christopher, Benjamin and Chasen. Chase clinged on to his father’s attention as much as he could. He didn’t have any other male in his life for Dina never married or kept a stable relationship all her life. Don gave Chase everything he ever wanted. It took years for his other siblings, including Bethany to get over the blatant favoritism. Chasen went on to college and married his college sweetheart Tiffany Sampson. It was a close call though for Chasen was also in a serious relationship with Heather Huffington. She would grow tired of his ways and leave him for someone more reliable. Chase and Tiffany had two children, Courtney and Jameson. Chasen has 5 grandchildren.

Lothario

Under the pressure of Mortimer, Don married Cassandra and started his new life. Together they had 3 children together. Not long after the birth of their 1st born Benjamin did Don start looking elsewhere. His set his eyes upon CAS college student Baylee McMiller. They started an affair and soon Baylee found herself pregnant. She hadn’t realized that Don was married and only discovered it when she went to tell Don the news and saw him out with his wife and child. Baylee ended the affair and later gave birth to a son, Christopher McMiller.

Don didn’t discover that Christopher was his son till he was nearly a year old. Baylee had married her long-time boyfriend and passed off Christopher as her husbands. Once the truth was revealed Don made sure his son wanted for nothing and was very hands on with his life. After all the drama Don began focusing on his wife and family. Things calmed down once again but after the birth of their 2nd child, Rebecca, Don started to grow bored of his daily routines. Mortimer became ill and passed away leaving Dina and little Bethany alone. Wanting to be there for his friend, Don started spending a lot of time over at the Caliente home. Soon a full fledge affair started and Don found himself a father for the 4th time with son Chasen Caliente. Unlike Baylee, Dina had no problem letting Don know he was the father. Still Don didn’t want out of his marriage. Cassandra was also pregnant when Dina was pregnant. Cassandra gave birth to Thomas, her 3rd child and Don’s 5th. They never divorced. Don has 11 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren.

Pleasant

Daniel and Mary-Sue went to therapy and attempted to work on their marriage. It seemed to work for a while till the girls moved out and started college. Daniel was back to his old ways. He and Kaylynn began seeing each other and Daniel was contemplating leaving Mary-Sue for her. Things turned sour when Mary-Sue discovered the affair and threatened to sue Daniel for all his was worth unless he ended it. They shared 3 successful companies together and she was after blood. Wanting to avoid a nasty lawsuit, Daniel ended the affair with Kaylynn once and for all. Soon afterwards Kaylynn found out she was pregnant with twin boys, Johnny and Tommy. Daniel was an active father to the boys, but Kaylynn mostly raised them alone. Daniel has 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Lilith stayed into trouble well into her 20’s. Her relationship with Dirk didn’t survive past their senior year when they went into different directions. Her junior year found her in the clutches of resident bad boy CAS Lee Archer. They feel in love and she grew out of her “troubled” phase. They married and had twins Alexis (who married Dirk’s son Daniel) and Shane. Lee though now a family man had a bad habit of gambling and this frustrated Lilith to the point of separation. With the help of sister Angela and her husband Dustin, Lee was able to pull himself together. Lilith has 4 grand children.

Angela continued to do great in school. She and Dustin both attended Sim State University. After graduation she married Dustin and moved to Sim City so that Dustin could continue his studies to be a lawyer. They had 2 children together, twins Patrick and Peter. Angela and Lilith have a great relationship and they spend as much time together with their aging parents as they can. Angela has 4 grandchildren.

Johnny and Tommy spent most of their childhood frustrated that they couldn’t spend time with their father and be in his world. They were never close to Angela and Lilith, although Angela did visit them a few times. When Kaylynn dead when they were in their late teens they had a falling out with Daniel and Tommy refused to talk to him until he was willing to be more of a father to them. Daniel finally apologized for placing one family over the other and as able to establish some kind of relationship with his sons. Mary-Sue, Angela, and Lilith have all since welcomed them as well. Both boys have married and have children of their own. Tommy married Cambridge Lothario, daughter of Thomas Lothario. They had 2 children. Johnny married Emily Osbourne, daughter of Daphne Goth. They had 2 children.

Broke

Brandi was the trailer trash of Pleasantview and she knew it. Still she wanted the best for her sons and would do anything to achieve it. Raising Dustin was difficult and adding a toddler and a pregnancy didn’t help matters at all. Brandi eventually gave birth to son, Talen. This broke her into the company of Dr. Abhijeet Deppiesse. They would start a relationship that would take Brandi and her boys out of debt and into the middle-class world she dreamed about. Brandi married Abhijeet. He put the boys into private school and was a great father to them. Brandi later gave birth to the couple’s own children Melinda and Clark Deppiesse. Brandi has since passed on. She has 10 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.

Dustin stayed into trouble and even managed to get Angela’s sister Lilith caught into his drama. There were times that Angela thought Dustin wanted to be with Lilith more than her, but he just knew Lilith would understand his criminal urges better. Dustin was put on probation after he was caught shoplifting from the local skateboarding shop. His behavior still didn’t change and it was beginning to affect Beau’s as well. This frustrated Brandi because she was too busy and pregnant to constantly worry about Dustin. Once his younger brother Talen was born, he noticed his mother spending a lot of time with Dr. Deppiesse. It annoyed him that his mother was moving on from his father so soon as after he died. This caused him to act out more. His behavior only ceased with Abhijeet sat him down man-to-man and asked his permission to marry his mother and make them all a family. Dustin saw this as a new beginning. He went off to college and married his long-time girlfriend Angela. Together they had 2 children. Dustin has 4 grandchildren.

Beau was the typical middle child of the Broke boys. He never really knew how he belonged and couldn’t find a place to fit end. His older brother stayed in trouble and his baby brother was too young to understand any of his feelings. Once his mother remarried things got better but he still felt left out, especially when his newer siblings arrived. He felt jealous of them all. Dustin got to spend time with Skip and Talen, Melinda, and Clark all had Abhijeet as a father. He had no one. Beau never acted out. He remained a quite person and spent most of his time writing and painting. He was engaged to Nina Caliente’s daughter Allison till she broke it off. Beau almost didn’t recover from the rejection till he met Lori Phillips (a born in game Sim from a CAS family). They hit it off immediately and feel in love. They married and had 2 sons Elliott and Ryan. Beau has 5 grandchildren.

Talen was an overactive child. He and his little brother Clark would spend hours swimming or throwing the baseball in the yard. They were extremely close. When Talen became a teenager he was discovered by a talent agent and began modeling for a popular teen fashion store. With this money he paid for his own school, graduating with no debt whatsoever. In college, Talen began dating Amy Phillips (cousin of Lori Phillips and half-sister of Christopher McMiller). They two married and had 2 daughters, Casey and Janet. Talen has 5 grandchildren.

Clark and his sister Melinda pretty much lived a drama free life. They went to private school, had lots of friends, and were close to their family. Both went to college and graduated. Clark married his college sweetheart and they had 2 sons, Christian and Emmanuelle. Melinda married Scott Burb (son of John and Jennifer) and had 2 daughters, Natasha and Veronica. Clark has 5 grandchildren. Melinda has 4 grandchildren.

Dreamer

Darren never remarried. He attempted a romance with Cassandra, only to be turned down. Many women have tried to make him settle down but Darren just concentrated on his work and his son Dirk. Darren was a successful doctor who loved to paint on the side. Many of his work are still hanging through his family homes. Darren has 2 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Dirk was very loyal to his father. He made excellent grades and made a conscious effect to stay out of trouble. Dirk dated Lilith all throughout high school. Their relationship was wearing thin towards their senior year. Lilith continued to stay in trouble and was now hanging out with Dustin Broke. He knew Dustin and they were friendly, but he was tired of both of their games. Once they entered college Dirk ended things with Lilith and struck up a romance with a CAS student Jessalyn James. They married and had two children, Daniel and Debi. His son Daniel actually married Lilith’s daughter Alexis. Dirk has 4 grandchildren.

Burb

John and Jennifer continued to live their lives as simple as they could. They went on to have two more children, boys, Michael and Scott. John was a schoolteacher and retired from the very school he taught at for 30+ years. Jennifer was a stay-at-home wife till they all were in high school. She then took a job helping underprivileged kids. John and Jennifer have 7 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

Lucy dated around the neighborhood. He fell hard for the local grocery boy George McCarthy. They dated in high school until John forced them to break up. He felt they were moving to face. They stayed close and eventually started dating again around their senior year. College proved tough for them though as temptation was around. Lucy began a casual friendship with Castor Nova that proved to be a test for her. Castor was courting Lucy hard, but she only realized she loved George more than ever. George proposed to Lucy their junior year and were married not long after they graduated. They had 2 children together, Aidan and Meredith. Lucy has 6 grandchildren.

Michael was the school jock. He played every sport he was physically able to learn to play. Very popular with the ladies, Michael never had a problem dating. His main squeeze was popular cheerleader Vanessa Kennedy (born in game from CAS family). The two of them stayed faithful from high school to college. They married and had 3 children, Noah, Brittany, and Sean. Michael has 8 grandchildren.

Scott was the quite one of the family. The youngest tried to keep up with his athlete brother but it proved to be hopeless battle. Scott was more into music than balls, so he focused all his energy in interning at the local radio station. He then turned his hobby into a full-blown career. He currently is the DJ and station manager of the local radio station. He took his time finding love. His future wife Melinda Deppiesse just happened to have been at the station one day and she caught his attention. She was with a group of people trying to pitch a radio ad. He asked her out and the rest was history. They had 2 daughters, Natasha and Veronica. Scott has 4 grandchildren.

Other

There are many other families in my Pleasantville. I am currently in Generation 4 of many of the families listed above. For a long and semi complete list (I am still adding new families I just merged from other neighborhoods; The Montys, Roths, etc) go here. I am kind of amazing how Maxis genetics plays out over the course of generations. Some are gorgeous and some are “oh my... :blink: ” but I never change them. I think my biggest shock was that Alexander Goth has some pretty great genes. He isn’t a looker but many of his descendents are.

Yeah, I noticed that Alexander's children are good-looking. He had twin sons - Lombard and Lancelot, and they were fairly good-looking but also looked creepy as in 'guy in a dark alley' creepy. But his daughter Henrietta is beautiful.

Goth: Mortimer, still alive, living with Bella (yes she's back! thanks to SimPE) owns a Furniture Shop business. Alexander went off to college, eventually turned to a dream boy type, hitting on every girl in his dorm at the same time having good grades. His aspiration is Romance (i tried knowledge, but it didn't go well, don't ask)

Pleasant: Daniel divorced with Mary-Sue but eventually turned back to her and happily re-married. Lilith is still living with them, she reached the highest rank in culinary career and now runs a restaurant. She also adopted a baby and turned out to be a very good parent, better than Angela (hehe).

Broke: Angela ended up with Dustin who resigned in criminal career and took paranormal, reached the highest rank, bought the resurrect-o-nomitron, revived Skip back (because he doesn't like Andy Feeks for her mom) and resigned. After that, Dustin took music and is doing great. He plans to resign when he reached the highest rank to fulfill his long-time dream, to be Angela however, took law and reached the highest rank. They are now happily married with their son Julius.

Broke: Brandi, now living like a queen, reached the highest rank in her career and married Andy Feeks (my costum-made sim who is very very rich, who eventually died because of old age, which made them very very rich). Dustin brought back his father. Brandi re-married him again, but died the next day due to drowning (again). Beau is now a teen (romance) and is currently going steady with his classmate (forgot her name) while Crust (Brandi's third), now a child, will have his birthday soon.

Dreamer: Cassandra married Darren. Dirk goes to college (with Pleasure aspiration). And Cassandra gives birth to Carrie (now a child)

Burb: Jennifer (knowlege, trust me, it went well) went to college, currently engaged with Alexander. Their off to marry as soon as they graduate from college. Meanwhile, Jennifer and John are living peacefully in Pleasantview.

Oldies: They're still alive (thanks to elixir of life) and retired. They always visit their grandchildren or invite them over. And they're oh so damn rich! They're house is even bigger for the two of them! Even with their butlers and maid!

Caliente/Langerak: Probably the third richest family next to the Oldies. Nina devoted her life to being a bachelorette forever. She owns her own Flower Shop and now plans to open her Grocery Store. She always helps her sister out during free time. Kaylyn, however moved in with her and now runs her very own H&M Fashion Store.

Lothario: Dina and Don are now happily married and had twins. Dune (popularity) and Dane (knowledge), their now teens.

EDIT: It was Nina who married Don and it was Dina who owns the grocery and the flower shop. Sorry...

I can't remember right now what I've done with the rest, if anything, but I know what I did to the Dreamers and Burbs.

John Burb had an affair with another sim and had a baby boy with said Sim. Nothing else with them after that I don't think apart from what I'll say in a minute.

The Dreamers.. they finally paid off all their bills but then, ran out of money. They sold their house and was then, inevitably, homeless.
The Burbs moved Downtown and invited the Dreamers to move in. So now the Dreamers and Burbs live together.

Later, after a bit of game play, Lucy Burb will become a teenager.. a promiscuous (sp?) teenager who has plenty of boyfriends.. including.. I don't know his name *grr* Dreamer's son who will then, with the help of inteen will inpregnate her.

Lucy and ..Dreamer Junior.. will run away before the baby comes along.
Dreamer.. Senior will be having an affair with .. Mrs Burb (I suck at names!!) while John Burb is secretly raising his son with that other sim I was talking about. Lucy and DJ will marry but later divorce (when adults) after growing apart. John will die in a fire as an oldie, leaving Mrs Burb and DS to be together, until they die.

DS will then go on to marry the sim that John had a secret child with. No, sorry.. join in union, that's it! lol (both boys, remember)
Lucy will marry DS's husband's half brother who shouldn't be related so that should be ok.. argh! I know what I'm doing, I don't know how to word it! lol!

Hehe. My gameplay style tends to revolve around love and children. I like making them have children to continue on the family line, and I love seeing them look like their parents. Its funny - I prefer them having only one child to keep things simple, but then I like them having 2-3 kids at least - so the child can keep its social levels high without interupting the adults. Eventually though my system will kill itself when Pleasantview gets over-populated and there's not enough room. Another thing - unless a Sim is really focusing on their career, I don't like leaving them single and unmarried for too long.

Well, I haven't played my Pleasentview characters very far yet, but here's how they're doing now...

Lothario: Got Nina pregnant and had her move in... has about five relationships now - Karilynn (sp?), Nina, Dina, a CAS sim of mine, and his new maid.

Caliente: Dina married Mortimer and they have one teenaged son Frankie, who dislikes his parents and is not very popular. She still loves Don and is bored with Mortimer. Mortimer has an obsession with getting abducted ;).

Like I said, Nina got pregnant and moved in with Don, and is pretty faithful. I don't think she'll make a very good mother though.

Pleasent: Mary-Sue and Daniel are on better terms now, although Daniel is still having his affair. Mary-Sue is showing signs of pregnancy again.

Lilith and Angela grew up and Angela moved out. Lilith still lives with her parents but is planning to leave soon.

Dreamer: Bah. Boring. Never played.

Broke: Brandi had her baby (forget his name...) and is pregnant again by a townie. Dustin moved out with Angela. Beau is still a kid... and is just a kid.

Goth: Never played them, but Cassandra broke it off with Don when he was caught cheating.

Oldies: Never played.

Broke-Pleasent: Angela and Dustin move dinto a large house and are expecting their first child.

Burb (my favorite): I built this family a gorgeous modern house in order to try to spice them up. They all got makeovers. Jennifer and John are living unemployed and are wonderful artists. Lucy grew into a teenager and is going steady with a townie Brittany Parker. When they first kissed Jennifer was disgusted and John was mildly curious :). John is having an affair with their maid Lucy, and was caught flirting with her during his daughter's birthday party. Jennifer and him are still rebuilding their relationship, although he already has his eye on Tahlia, a CAS of mine. Jennifer is also pregnant with twins, and is due very soon.

Lasky: Karrilynn got pregnant from Daniel Pleasent and is currently living with Keith, a CAS of mine, in his spacious house with her toddler boy Roger.

A bit of an update.

The Goth:
Mortimor: After a fight with Casandra that drove her to move out, Mortimor found himselft the soule provider for his young son Alexander. Life was ok, but lonely. He befriended McGrid Churchill, a promising young lawer and his beautifull wife Joanna. They were in good terms and he was able to share the happy moments of the births of the Churchill's doughters, Terhi and Rosella. Their friendship grew over the years, McGrid worked hard to achive his goal of getting to the top of his career, he even continued working after having the possibility to retire. The day he reached his goal was a bitter sweet one. They were suppose to celebrate his promotion and his wife's birthday, but Grimmy had other ideas, the moment Joanna turned the page in her life, Grimmy took McGrid with him.
After the dath of McGrid Mortimor grew closer to the greeving widow, one thing let to the other, and they ended up in an exclusive relationship. Everything was looking good, untill Mortimor layed his eye on Rosella, Joanna's beautiful blond teenage girl. The temptation was too great to pass, and he ended up being her first lover. Unfortunatley Joanna found this out very fast and broke her engagement with Mortimor.
Rosella took comfort in Mortimor after her miscareg with his baby, they met while her mother was at work. Mortimor soon lost interest in Rosella and after she got pregnangt the second time, he dumped her.

To get some action into the Goth household I downloaded.
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=58599&highlight=goth

I moved the young morimor and his kids that came with the house out, deleted them, and then moved the original Mortimor and the then teen Alexander into the house to see how life with Bella would work out. As it was not a resurrected Bella from my game, she was not related to this Mortimor and Alexander in any way. Mortimor and Bella hit it off staright away. After a rocky start, Bella got prengant, and they soon had a quick Marriage in the bathroom while Bella was two days from having her baby. Mortimor died at the age of 63, a day before his son Aragon (forgot one R when typing :D ) was born.

Alexander: Alexander grew up well - and soon found out how much he loved the ladies. Even thou Alexander kept telling me Bella is HOT - they kept a very cold relationship while living togeather.
As Mortimor was more and more interested with Bella than raising his son, Alexander started slipping into some really dark crowd. On a gravestone raiding mission in the cemetery he met the count, long story short, Alexander is now a vampire. After the death of his father, Alexander fulfilled his greatest want, and he woohood Bella till she got pregnant. Even thou Bella had just given birth to his half brother and was pregnant with his baby, Alexander didn't care. He soon lost interest in her, and kicked her and her baby out of the house and his father's inheritans.

Bella: Shocked at drastic drop in her social status and embaresed over being pregnant to her step son. She brought a small house in a good neighborhood, and is now trying to figure out what to do and how best raise her son and her soon to be born child.

Casandra: still in family bin waiting to be turned into a hippyie.

Dustin moved out while still a teen. He took refuge in an old factory building. The ground level he turned into a bar, the second he lived in, and the third was too destroyed to be used. He dropped out of school to take care of his business, but as the only income he had was bevereges he sold in the bar, he was slowly but steadily slipping into extreme poverty. His only way of survivor was to get somebody with money to move in. He befriended a towny woman called Allysin (or somthing like that). She was easy to convinc to move in, but she turned out to be utterly broke, and only brought 1 euro to the household. Frustrated by this woman, he made her work long hours in the bar at day, and as a hooker at night. But she turned out to be useless in all her task, a bore in bed and he was getting really tired of her constant whining to have a baby, so he bought a rifel and shot her.
Free from this burdon he shifted his attention to the pretty dark haired maid that came every day to clean up. She was much harder to seduce, but she was worth the effort, she moved in with her 3000 euros and Dustin was finally able to get the bar running, he brought a ticket machine and is finally able to just realx and let the money poor in. A few days later,he berried the maid in his back yard.
Dustin's third wictim was Rosella Churchill, a pretty young teen who only days before had given birth to Mortimor's child. With business booming, he renovated the third store of the house into living quarters and expanded his bar to the second level. He is now running a successfull business and has set his eye on a pretty blond towny teen he hired to tend the bar.

Brandy: Determined to give her two young children a better life than what she had managed to give her eldes son, brandy collected what little money she had and moved to her parent's old house
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=62804&highlight=goth

She's lost all contact to Dustin, and is now raising her kids by working as a stripper.

:smash: Since the last time I posted in one of these "What did you do with Pleasantview" threads, I've played Pleasantview a bit more, continuing with the storyline I started when I reloaded it last time.

Lothario: Don is sleeping with four different women at the moment (The maid, both Caliente sisters, and Angela Pleasant). He impregnated Nina Caliente, moved in with the Caliente sisters, broke up with Cassandra, got engaged to Dina, impregnated Angela Pleasant, and turned into a drunkard. Seriously. I leave him on free will and he just goes straight to the bar. :lol:

Caliente: Dina also became something of a drinker. She fell for Don Lothario, invited him to move in, and eventually became engaged to him and is anticipating their wedding- once she's got enough money to throw a huge one, of course. She's a bit boring, just working her way up the criminal career ladder. In her free time, she buys antiques.
Nina is currently pregnant with twins, thanks to Don, and will be shortly moving out to a crappy little house on the edge of town. She's also carrying on a love affair with Brandi Broke.

Broke: Right after the game reload, Dustin and Beau mysteriously died and Brandi's pregnancy was aborted, thanks to InSim. ;) Brandi had a brief spell as a romance sim, then went back to family, and now is currently falling in love with Nina Caliente, although she has her eye on the guy who came with Pets, and is working in a record shop. She is still broke, though. :smash:

Goth: After Don broke up with her, Cassandra grew a backbone and now enjoys walking by the Caliente-Lothario condo and kicking over the trashcan. Repeatedly. She and Alexander are living in a farm next to the Dreamer house, and she is pregnant through artificial insemination.
Alexander is boring and Mortimer has an obsession with both flirting with Nina Caliente and getting abducted.

Dreamer: Haven't played with them much, since they kind of bore me, what with not wanting love affairs. Darren is still an artist, and I might bring back his wife. Dirk is now obsessed with money and is engaged to Lilith Pleasant.

Pleasant: Mary-Sue and Daniel have patched up their relationship, mostly. There is the occasional argument. Daniel is still carrying on with Kaylynn the maid, and Mary-Sue is still a workaholic, although she takes time out to laze around in her pajamas.
Lilith became a knowledge sim and got herself engaged to Dirk. They plan on getting married and having lots of little kidlets.
Angela slept with Don Lothario and got pregnant. She was kicked out and is now living in a grungy, cheap version of his old condo. She had her daughter, named Cheer, and is currently pregnant again, with twins.
The twins patched up their relationship, but it is a bit stressed, what with Angela almost all the way across town, and busy with her daughter.

Burb: Jennifer is working as a scientist and is currently pregnant, and not happy about the latter condition. John and Lucy are generally boring.

Oldie: Haven't played with them! Or even moved them into a house. I might sometime soon, so Coral can be a doting grandmother/great-grandmother to Lilith and Angela/Cheer.

Good thing to make the Oldies more interesting - get them to adopt a kid for them to raise. It made it more interesting for me to play - I only played them after I realised they were great grandparents and Angela was almost as old as them.

A bit of an update.

Broke
Dustin continued with running his very successfull bar - but made a few changes to it on the way. On the first floor you had your average neighborhood bar with a pooltable, music, a few pinball machines. The second level was open only for men, some dirty dancing, gambling - you name it. The third story was only open for Dustin himself, as it was his living quarters. After Rosella Dustin didn't kill anybody for some time. Not untill Melinda. Melinda was Rosella's sister's teenage doughter, a romance sim who ran away from home when she felt she was not understood by her parents. Dustin didn't mind having the pretty girl around, she payed her share of the rent by dancing, tending the bar and other stuff. Everything was working out well, untill Melinda got pregnant by Dustin. Dreding that a pregnant girl would be bad for business, Dustin forbid Melinda from coming down to the bar, so she spent her last days of pregnancy in the loft, sleeping, eating and daydreaming. When the big moment finally came, Dustin was playing poker, when the baby was born, Melinda put her down on the wooden floor - then joined Dustin for a game of cards. The baby was taken away 24h later by social services - but Melinda never saw that - she was already dead by then.
Feeling he needs a change - Dustin closed his business, sold his house and moved out. He has yet to settle anywhere.

Brandi raised her remaining children Beau and Bob II with such love and care that even thou they never bought new clothes or went to town, they still had a wonderfull loving childhood.
As a teen Beau discovered that he did not like the ladies. His first lover was some Nazi looking townie who's name is not important enough to remember. There were sparks and lust and everything was ok, but it just didn't seem right for some reason. Then came Conrad Leroy Churcill (Mortimore's and Rosella's child). They first met in Conrad Leroy's birthday party, and became very good friends very fast. It started out as a fling, then some flirting and before either of them knew it, they were madly in love with each other. Unfortunately Conrad Leroy has a public image he needs to upkeep - he is due to marry Betty Scorezy (the uggly betty sim I downloaded) - have a child with her, go forward in his career and be a boring and respectfull member of the Pleasentview community. This is why his and Beau's love affair needs to be kept in the utter most secracy. So far it has gone well, Brandy worked nightshifts so it was easy to slip Conrand Leroy in while she was at work - and just make sure he was out of the house when Brandi came back. The only person who knows about this affair is Bob II - as he helped the lovers to cover their tracks when it was needed.
Now that Beau is aproaching adulthood, he desided it was time to move out on his own. Even thou Bob II only became a teen a few days ago, Brandy accpted that he leaves with Beau - as they are the best of friends and she knew Beau will take very good care of his brother.

Brandi was a bit amazed how well she managed to raise her boys Beau and Bob II. They seldom had more than 90 simoleans at any given time - but yet the boys grew up loving each other and her. Sad to see her babies go - Brandi was determined to fix the mistake that still kept haunting her - Dustin. To be honest, there is not much that can be done with Dustin, he is too separated from his family. But when Brandi heard that her only grand daughter had been taken away by social services - she knew that to make her peace with her self, she needs to get custody of her grandchild. So now Brandi is defying the clock (a.k.a aging off) to collect enough money to get custody of her grandchild.

Goth:
After becoming a vampire, getting Bella pregnant and kicking her out of the house. Alexander moved out of the old Goth house and is now waiting for enlightenment in the family bin.

Casandra moved out of her fathers home into a small isolated house at the edge of Pleasantview. She spent her days working on her small garden and practicing her painting. As she was a big animal lover, she decided to adopt the family of the two dogs from family bin. Poor woman - she got a bit more than she bargained for. Those two dogs almost drove her insane. All the years of neglect and bad treatment have left their mark on the poor creatures. Gone were her relaxing days of solitude. Now she was running all meters red from one dog to the other forbidding this and that while trying to save her furniture from being eaten by her pe(s)ts. Days went bye, and even thou the dogs were still a source of a lot of stress, there have started to be signs of the tiniest of improvement, and that gave her hope that maybe she can survive this. The same day the female dog gave birth to three puppies. The puppies were the last straw. She named the dogs OMG, LOL and ROLF - picked up the phone and gave the dogs up for adoption. She only kept the male puppy - OMG. With the dogs gone, Casandra was able to return to her happy solitude. She gave her poor plants the cpr they needed, and then turned her attention to her lovely puppy. As a family oriented sim - Casandra kept getting wants of family, babies and love - living too far out for any man to walk buy - Casandra decided to take things into her own hand and call the matchmaker. Even with her wants for a family Casandra was a bit doubtful about giving up all her money for the possibility of love. So she gave 1/3 of the amount for true love and hoped for the best. God must have been on a coffee break when this guy got his genes, this mans was the ugliest townie Casandra had ever seen. Casandra said bye to both her money and the man and went back inside. Two days later he http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=232805 moved next door.
They got married quite hastily - but neither of them ever regretted it for a second. They are now running their organic farm in the outskirts of Pleasentview - while raising Alexander's and Bella's baby.

Bella was mortified when she was kicked out by Alexander. She knew that if she ever wanted to regain her social status she needs to keep Alexander's baby a secret. Even thou she had never talked to Casandra before - she knew that Casandra was the only one who could help her. To her surprise Casandra took her, her baby, and her unborn child in with open arms. It was obvious from the beginning that the two women will never bee friends, but they got on anyway. The baby was born at four in the morning, Bella was suppose to do a dramatic exit by putting the baby in the crib, taking her toddler and leaving, but somebody had composted the newspaper so she had to wait until seven in the morning. She is now in the family bin with her toddler.

I have just started playing the Pleasantview Neighbourhood so not much is going on yet.

Broke: Brandy managed to survive while being low on money, she met John Burb and thought it a shame he was married...

Burb: John had strong feelings for Brandi and thus he started an affair with her. His wife found out though and she threw him out. I then moved him in with Brandi. Jennifer then started to see Darren, he was in love with her but to her he was just a rebound. And she doesn't want a serious relationship with him.

Goth: Cassandra moved out and married Don. Mortimer married Dina Caliente. She got pregnant and gave birth to a son. Not long after that Mortimer died suddenly. Alexander is just preparing for college.

Caliente: Since Dina went to live with Mortimer, Nina lives alone. She was asked on an outing by Don where he invited all his lovers... that didn't went well, for all the other lovers...

Pleasant: Daniel got Kaylynn pregnant but he made no commitment to her. Mary Sue hasn't found out yet about the affair.

Oldies: The oldies took in Kaylynn to live with them. She had no place to live and the oldies needed a maid. So Kaylynn works for them, makes food and cleans the house and has a small room for her and her child. Coral has just opened a homebusiness in flowers and expects Kaylynn to help her.

Lothario: Cassandra moved in with Don and they got married. She got pregant and gave birth to a son. Then she found out that Don was cheating on her and she moved out. They are still married, though.

I play so slow so not much has happened - but what little did happen is describe below.

Goth:
- Bella was having a lot of trouble getting used to a life of no monney. She moved out into a house she couldnt really afford - it looked nice in the beginning but it was a really dull house and she didn't like it in the end. She hierd a made and a gardner when she was barely able to pay the bills. As she didn't want to condescend herself to working in crappy jobs, she decided to specialize herself in the art of making flower bouquets. Bella knew that if she ever again wanted to head up in life and society - she needs a man - but not just any man - somebody old and powerfull. Spending way too many hours chatting with anybody new on her computer, it came down to two candidates, Thomas Z(something - maybe Zarubi) and some other old guy. The problem here was that none of them were either rich or powerfull. As it seemed that the rich didn't hang out it chat rooms and time was running out she decided to settle in with Thomas. Thomas turned out to be a good choise. After a haircut and a change of jobs from pick pocket to business - Bella was starting to be quite pleased with herself. She was on her way to marrying a respectfull old man. As her mind was racing faster than her bank acocunt - Bella decided it was time they move to a better house. This house was beutifull, it looked rich, it was way better designed and it was roomy. Unfortunately after paying the house - and even with the monney Thomas brought when they moved in togeather - they only furniture they were able to afford was the bathroom, a couch and two beds. With the money Thomas was making in his job - they were able to afford more furniture. Bella was so fast in spending money that it was usually gone by the time Thomas stepped out from the carpool. Even thou the house was getting better - Bella was not happy. So they moved again, this time thou - they build their own house - two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and study. Finally Bella was happy with the hosue and it was time to consentrate on her social status. She bit her tongue and accepted Thomas's engagement even thou it drove her into a nervouse breakdown. The last time I played Bella she was planning her wedding and trying to fill her aspiration meter so she wouldnt plundge into another nervouse breakdown after the wedding.

Broke
Brandi was working day and night to collect money to be able to adopt her grand child. It was a tough job to do with a waitresses salary - but luckily enought she got lucky with a few chance cards and was promoted twice even thou she was lacking many of the skills neede for those jobs. It took quite many days and quite many phone calls but finally the day came. Brandi called work sick to be able to spend the first day home with her grand child - Areanne (if I remember her name right) :einstein - the baby was brought home exactly at ten in the morning by some lovely social worker. Even thou Brandi now had a good paying job, she decided to quit it and find herself a new job with a more child friendly hours. And so her life settled into diper changin, nannies and work. Brandi was already getting used to the idea of a single elderly life where her sole purpose would be to raise her granchild. But then something unexpected happened- she fell in love with Thomas Zarubi and what was even more surprising - the feeling was mutual. They both knew - if they move in togeather - Thomas would loose his contacts in the company and would have to leave his well paying business job and start again from scratch. Thomas was in love with Bella and found her very attractive, but it wasn't hard to figure out that this feeling was quite one-sided. Sure Bella was acting all nice and all - but life with Bella was all work - no play. She spend money like crazy and only truely cared for her son who hated Thomas. The choise was easy, on Areanne's brithday he broke up with Bella and popped the question to Brandi. They got married the following winter in Brandi's untended garden. Thoma's dream was to work as a teacher, a drem he was unable to fullfill while living with Bella. So when a suitable substitute teacher position came up in the paper, Thomas ditched his his poorly paying odd job and changed career's. Even thou this was his dream job, he was facing so many obsticles on the way. He was demoted and fired so many times that both him and Brandi are thinking that maybe Bella is using her contacts to revenge. Dream job or not - they are still a happy family. Areanne is now a few days short from becoming a teen, Brandi is retired and Thomas is working as a convenient store clerck.

Beau moved out with Bob II into a very ugly maxis made NL home. It tooke quite alot of renovation to fix the place from a one bedroom disaster into a two bedroom livable house. Crappy house or not, living away from home had it's percks. Beau was finally able to continue his secret affair with Conrad Leroy - without having to fear his mother walking on on them and blowing the whistle on the whole Pleasantview community. Of course there's always a risk of being cought, and that's when a younger understandable brother comes in handy to manover guests out of the back door so the lovers can sneak in from the front. Beau just turned into an adult, and is currently working in the education career.

Bob II loved his brother and loved living with him - he also loved Tara Kat. Life with Beau was quite normal and ordinery, they spend alot of time at their mother's house, they were guests at her wedding, in her golden anniversiry and on a few sunday dinner's. The only exitement was probably when Bob invited Tara to come over, and sayd yes when she asked can she bring a friend. This friend turned out to be Dustin broke who should have still been in the family bin. Beau was fast to say goodbuy to Dustin :handbag: as he doesn't want to have anything to do with his brother and wants to protect his family from him. After living quite many day with Beau - Bob decided he wanted to move out on his own. So he packed his bags and left. The brother's were quite low on monney so Bob II left the house with 85 simoleans (thanks to the no20Khandouts hack from MATY) and a few chosen items of furniture. Bob II is now living in a small house trying to get a job in law enforcement. He is still too poor to buy a shower.

Well, since I just got a new, much better computer, I decided to install the game on there and start anew!

The Burbs - after Lucy, they had 4 more children, Celeste, Shannon, Emmanuel, and Liz (thus far, I keep them young because they make such cute kids!). Liz is a toddles, Shannon and Emmanuel are kids, and Celeste is a teen. As for Lucy, she went to college, and roomed with her best friend since childhood, Sarah Black. After receiving her bachelor's, summa cum laude, in biology, she married Sarah's father, Marcus, and they have a son, Jonathan. Sarah and her son Logan live next door, Jennifer and John live next to Sarah, and they are all this huge, happy family.

Pleasants - I patched Mary-Sue and Daniel's marriage back together, he stopped seeing the maid, and they have 2 more children. Angela and Lillith went off to college, and though they are not close, they don't attack each other all the time anymore. Angela dumped Dustin Broke, and is with her new boyfriend, Sage Parker. Lillith moved in with fiance' Dirk Dreamer as well as her best friend Deanna Torres. She and her cousin Lucy Burb also became best friends in college, and she's very close to her aunt Jennifer as well. Lucy's toddler, Jonathan also seems very fond of Lillith, and whenever she's at Lucy's home, she takes very good care of the tot.

Broke - Brandi named her son Erik. With the aid of Dustin and a teen Beau, Brandi was able to go to work in the law field and not have to worry about spending money on a nanny. She eventually made enough money to buy a bigger home. Dustin is an adult and lives in the old house now, Beau is a teen, and Erik is a child. Brandi is currently dating her neighbor, Steven Sloan.

Dreamer - Darren gave up his dream of being with Cassandra in order to bring his wife Darleen back from the dead. Within hours of her being back, the two remarried. They have a newborn daughter, Hazel.

Oldies- Coral and Herb have sadly passed on. They left behind a dog, Whimsy.

Goths - shortly after marrying Dina Caliente, Mortimer passed away. Alexander is in college, and has a girlfriend, Saadia. Dina is due to give birth soon, and also will be moving out of the Goth home...too many ghosts for her. Cassandra's botched wedding to Don landed her in therapy, but after a much needed makeover, and a move to Downtown, she is getting her life back together. She is currently residing with her roommate and best friend, Paige, until she earns enough to move on her own.

Caliente - Nina gave Don a taste of his own medicine. After finding out he was seeing his maid, she kicked him out....of his own house! The two have a daughter, Isabella.

Lothario - He got over Nina pretty quickly, getting a new house and asking the maid to move in. They have two children, Adelle and Valentina, but he still won't ask her to marry him. I guess it makes him feel less guilty for still wanting Nina...and Cassandra...and the long lost Bella...and about 4 other women in town.

Aih - not enough play time - too much real life.

Broke:
After alot of hardship, life was finally smiling at Brandi. She had a nice home, a good relationship with both her husband and grand doughter - and even better - Thomas was being a great father figure to Areanna. Unfortunately nothing lasts for ever. Their anniversary was suppose to be next saturday - Thomas didn't make it past tuesday. Poor Brandi fell into total depression and kept crying all over the place. She was too depressed to take care of the house, herself or Areanna - so it was not suprising that Areanna turned into a teen without a party. It's approximately during that time that things started going wrong. Areanna grew up to be a fierce little goth chick. Drinking, smoking you name it. One day she fell into a huge argument with Brandi, that resulted in Areanna now having a -80 relationship with Brandi + hatered. Thanks to the noteenrunnaway hack Areanna didn't run a way to some unknown location, instead she picked up the news paper, called a taxi and left. She is now hanging around the family bin.
With the money inherited from Thomas, and the bedroom left empty by Areanna leaving, Brandi completely renovated the house. She deleted the wall that used to lead to Areanna's bedroom, and made it to a living room. The kitchen was also completely renovated. She also decided to make an extra room upstairs as a guestroom. It was the living room - and how cosy it was looking that made Brandi decide she doesn't want this house to be empty with only her init. So she invited her son Bob II (who's currently working as a desk surgent in the local police department) to come in, and proposed he moves in with her. He accepted and brought with him his fiancee Tara Cat - and her three lovely cats. With a full house as the one Brandi now has - the family is thinking of maybe giving the two adult cats to Beau - because Maxis never really played with Tara or gave her and the cats a proper relationship even thou she was suppose to be this great cat woman with special connections to cats :wtf: - anyhow - no desission has yet been done on this issue.

Goths:
Bella didn't shed a single tear over Thomas. Instead she decided to put her own love life behind her and consentrate on what's really important - her son's Political career. The house she built with Thoma's money is looking very nice now a days, it's still not fully furnished or decorated as well as Bella would like, but all that will happen over time. Bella turned into the best looking elderly ever seen in Pleasentview
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/aniradeth/snapshot_3408041f_b42ea16d.jpg
She spends her time painting and writing a her first novel. She's also waiting for winter to pass so she could start planning her garden and her garden parties.
Aragon is fully active now in the political scenario of pleasent view - there's still a long way to go, but he's on a good start. He turned into an adult a few days back in one of the best parties in the scene- he is currently dating Victoria Becham - but there shall be no wedding untill he reaches the top of his career.

Broke
I made Brandi eat cheesecake, and she had twin boys: Ted and Donald. She's also been working on her mechanic skills, she's built like a hundred toy robots and when she's good enough she's going to build a servo to help her out around the house. She's dating Castor Nova.
Dustin got fired from his job after a bad chance card, and is now focusing on school -- he has a B+. I'll send him off to uni when the twins are kids.
Beau hasn't really had anything happen to him. He's almost a teenager. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make him gay and have him date Alexander Goth -- they're just so perfect for each other. He kept bringing girls home, so I figured he'd be the boy in his class that's friends with all the girls. I'm planning to make him date this townie child called Elizabeth Go (who I've gotten pretty obsessed with -- I aged her down to toddler, gave her a set of parents using Insim, killed off the parents, made a Chinese couple to adopt her, then fell too in love with the Chinese couple not to pass their genes on, so now I'm going to let them have a baby, who will then adopt Elizabeth. Yes, I know, I need to get my head checked) when they're in their teens.
Once Dustin's moved out, the twins are children, and Beau is a teen I'll move the whole lot to Bluewater Village so Brandi can open a robot shop, fall in love with Malcolm Landgraab and have a child with him. And by God, even if I have to quit without loading and go back a dozen times, it will be a girl! We have enough Broke boys. :naughty:

28th Oct 2007, 03:11 PM

I recently began playing this neighborhood because of this thread... had no interest in playing the maxis sims until reading of some of the 'adventures' people put these characters through in their own games.... For me, the play is new and still in progress. This is what has happened thus far:

Caliente- Dina and Nina both dumped on the three-timing snake Don Lothario, who is still single and living alone. Dina married Mike Kelso (a custom sim of mine) and moved him into her own place with him. They have one son, Daniel. Dina took with her the grave for Michael Bachelor.
Nina fell for maxis-made Scot Lewis and moved him into the home she used to share with her sister. Unfortunately for Nina, she died prematurely as a result of being pelted to death by hail. She is one pissed off ghost! (Nina is the reason I built a community cemetary as she is SO destructive!) Scot has now fallen in love with 2 other maxis sims and has yet to decide which girl he should marry. He intends to move Nina's grave to the community cemetary soon!

Goth- Cassandra refused to marry Don Lothario after she learned he was also playing around with the Caliente sisters. She went on vacation and met maxis-sim Taylor Comier and has fallen in love with him. Alexander made overachiever and is ready to enter college. Poor Morty succumbed to old age and was taken by death, the same day he and the Garden Club lady Tiffany Zarubin consumated their love.... what a way to go! Cassandra, being the oldest, is the heir and will retain the family home. She is going to marry Taylor soon.

Pleasant- Angela and Lillith both attended and graduated college, and somewhat repaired their relationship during that time. Lillith, however, did not repair her relationship with her parents and moved into her own place after university. Angela moved back home to become the heir. Angela currently is dating no one, in love with no one, and looking to meet the right guy. Lillith on the other hand, met one of my custom made sims (cant remember his name right now) and is living with him in their own home. They plan to marry at Halloween.

Broke- After suffering so long as a struggling single Mom, Brandi met Kurt Edwards (one of my custom made sims), fell in love and married. Dustin fell in love with Lucy Burb (and so did his brother Beau) when they were in college. Beau however won Lucy's heart in the end. Beau is currently living in his own house and plans to marry Lucy. Dustin met and fell in love with Mariah Roberts (the daughter of a custom family of mine). Mariah (being an only child and heir for her family) intends to ask Dustin to move in. Dustin plans on asking Mariah to marry him. Brandi and Kurt recently celebrated the birth of twins Kyle and Brittney. Being the only girl in the family, Brittney is the intended heir.

Burb- A relatively non-played family. Lucy grew up and attended college with both Dustin and Beau Broke, with whom she both fell in love. She is an only child, so she is the heir of the Burb family and will be asking Beau (who currently lives on his own) to move in with them soon. I plan to marry them...

Lothario- Having been dumped by Dina and Nina, and left at the alter by Cassandra, Don has been living alone and trying to get over all the women getting wise to his ways. He is thinking about going on vacation for some relaxation and is hoping to meet a new love or two while away.

Think that's about it for now....

3rd Nov 2007, 10:31 AM

There were 3 Pleasentviews for me. But the second one was boring and never got far. My first one was lost when I re-installed my seriously flawed game. The third was created when I switched to a new computer. (Yay!)

First
-Goth: Mortimer spent a long time deciding whether or not to propose to Dina. Finally he did and they had the wedding 2 days later. However immidiately after they kissed under the wedding arch, Mortimer knealed over and died. (This was a complete accident, no hacks, no plans, oops). Alex became a preppie teen and hated Dina, who inherited everything. He also planned on running away to his sister's house. She was planning to move out when i had to re-install. Cassandra married Darren Dreamer after Don Lothario left her at the altar.

-Dreamer: After Cassandra married him he became a Goth on accident. They moved out of the Goth household and bought the blue home across from the Pleasentview communitty center. They had twin boys, David and Rick. Then I found out Darren's dead wife had her grave at their old house now owned by a CAS family I made. They switched homes and Darleen started haunting them. Apparently she hates Cassandra and missed Dirk, who had grown up and married Lilith (this was before I had Uni). Cassandra had another son, Aaron before I reinstalled.

-Lothario: After leaving Cassandra at the altar he WooHooed with Nina Caliente and got caught by Dina. Dina hated them both and Don proposed to Nina. Since both were Romance sims it showed up as a bad memory when Nina accepted. If it's bad don't accept! lol

-Caliente: If you read what happened to the Lothario and Goth families you know what happened to them. Accept after Dina caught Nina with Don they slowly rebuilt their sisterly relationship.

-Pleasent: Daniel cheated with Kayleyyn alot. They WooHoed, MadeOut everything. Then Mary-Sue had a day off and (you won't expect this) Kaelyyn was cleaning and caught Daniel holding hands with Mary-Sue. So she decided he cheated on her, but she had to know he was married. I'm laughing at the memory. Anyway Lilith grew up and married Dirk. They adopted a baby, Annie. Angela grew up and married Dustin. They had a daughter, Julie. Then I re-installed.

-Broke: Beau grew up well and Dustin held a D average. Brandi gave birth to Sam and moved out to a krappy house i built for them beacause I need their house for one of my CAS families. Unfortunatly Beau failed school because Brandi had no time to tach him to study. Dustin was fired from his job for skipping it. Social services came to take Beau for failing. But they also took Sam! He was very happy. Anyway after Dustin grew up, Brandi fell in love with a townie and they married and moved into the house across from Woodland Park. She retired from a low job (I was inexpiriencd) so the townie had to get a job. He also adopted her 2 children back.

-Oldie: Coral tried to get closer to her daughter, Herb tried to get closer to the maid. Coral suceeded, Herb failed. Both died of old age, the end.

-Burb: Lucy grew up to a teen and Jennifer gave birth to twins, Jacob and Anna. They were the reason the Brokes had to move because they took the wrong trailer.

Third

-Goth: This time Don and Cassandra married and Don was caught cheating with Nina. But not before he made Cassandra pregnant with twins Danni and David. She then married Darren again. Mortimer died alone. Alex got a dog, Redding after Casandra moved out (she had a cat). Alex got a permanent butler who would watch over the house while Alex went to college. But I changed my mind and killed him. Alex then had Cassandra move in and they moved into a the big white mansion behind the Pleasent family. Now I don't play them much because the file is too big and causes my game to crash. Cassandra has to give away her cat and Dirk left for college early to help shrink the file for easier gameplay.

-Dreamer: The only thing not mentioned above is that Don's children had the last name Dreamer, they were born after Cassandra's 2nd marrige.

-Lothario: Lost his last name to Cassandra so he had CAS sim Letty Lothario move in so he could get his name back. But I don't want him married. Dina hates him for kissing Nina.

-Caliente: Because of Don they constantly fight. Dina got some money when Mortimer died.

-Pleasent: The Oldies moved in with Mary-Sue. She caught him WooHooing with Kaelynn when she was fired from her job. They divorced but he changed his ways (aspiration) and they went out and got back together. Just after getting married, Daniel aged to an elder. Mary-Sue is now an elder and they were the first (and only) family to go on vacation. The twins are in college, sharing dorms with their boyfriends.

-Broke: Brandi gave birth to Carter, Dustin has gone to college and Beau is a teen.

-Oldie: Moved in with Mary-Sue, died.

-Burb: Jennifer gave birth to a son, can't remember his name. Lucy is a teen.

My first Pleasentview was more interesting. :bored:

17th Nov 2007, 03:22 AM

Goths: Cassandra was briefly married to Don and got pregnant by him. She fell in love with a custom sim of mine, they married and moved out.
Mortimer got married to Dina, made her pregnant and died(exciting life).Few minutes after his death, Dina and Alexander started a relationship. I plan to make her pregnant by Alexander :P.

Caliente/Lothario: Nina started dating Don and he moved in and proposed(she said yes). She opened a hair salon. Don flirted with Dina and Nina got furious (I thought I had a no jealousy hack). Don threw a wedding party anyway and tried to marry Nina but got left by the altar. They're still living togeather

Pleasant/Broke/Dreamer: The Pleasant twins went to collage along with Dirk Dreamer and Dustin Broke. Lilith and Dirk haven't done anything interesting but Angela and Dusting got engaged and Angela got pregnant by Dustin and had a son named Myron.
However, she started flirting (without any serious intention) with the black-skinned/black/haired collage dude (he's wearing an outfit that looks like an 80's hairband outfit, he's an default in all collages) and she had 3 bolts for him! She immediately broke up with Dustin but still managed to have her first makeout with him afterwards :lol:

lets see...

Daniel is trying to break it off with Kaylynn quietly after seeing Mary sue's new makeover. He thinks shes hotter now. Angela and Lillith were trying to steal each other's boyfriends the entire time they were teens. finally they decided to end the feud because they were going to college and had to share a room. (While Angela was still a teen she started a very strong friendship with Don. ) Angela continued her friendship with Don until one day he invited her over and got her drunk. No longer able to deny her feelings, she had her very first whoo hoo with Don and got pregnant. Don now finished with Angela has moved onto Lillith. She was reluctant but eventually became friends with Don. With the history of stealing each others boyfriend's Lillith is determined Not to this time because she sees that Angela is preggers. But Angela can no longer contact Don to inform him of her condition. (Don is avoiding her).

Just did a reinstall, so not much yet. *mourns game*

Don's gone on few dream dates (Nina, Kaylynn)

Dina and Mortimer got married, and at the wedding Cassandra attacked her. Soon after she attacked Mortimer and I made her move out. (I LOVE Dina, no one messes with her).

Alexander became a teen, and I'm trying to restore his relationship with his dad and build one with Dina. Dina's also pregnant with her and Mortimer's first child.

I actually like to play the Pleasants family :P

I just reset Pleasantview and all the other neighborhoods. My game was mad, lol. Sooo, the only family I've played by now are the Pleasants.
Daniel stopped cheating (by now at least) and he fired the maid. He and Mary Sue are rescuing their marriage heh.. I made a makeover to Angela and Lilith and I'm trying to make them friends. They broke with Dustin and the other guy and Lilith is getting better grades. Today Daniel died repairing Lilith's computer but Mary Sue rescued him and my game is there :3

I'm planning to make a HUGE makeover to Cassandra and the Caliente Sisters.

I downloaded the Gender-switched version off "The site that must not be named."
I like it much better than the original.

Liam (Lillith) Pleasant: He got fed up with his mother (Danielle), father (Martin), and his brother (Adam) and took off with about 10,000 in his family's money to move into the house on the outskirts of town. His secondary girlfriend, Mary-anna Moss, moved in with him and cheated on him with many guys and got pregnant. She had the baby and moved out, leaving the kid with Liam. He currently lives with his grandparents.

Danielle, Martin, and Adam Pleasant: haha.. Danielle is sleeping with the male maid, Martin reached the top of his career, and Adam is still a perfect child.. who sleeps with all the teen girls in the neighborhood.

Donna Lothario (Goth) and Castor Goth: Well Donna slept with most of the town, got pregnant with her fiance (husband) Castor's baby, Got married to Castor, Had the baby, and Now currently lives with her husband and her daughter Reiko. Castor, got himself a good job in the Military and has currently reached the top of his career! Hes now focused on his growing family.

I havent really played anyone else.. which is weird, cause I normally play the Broke house first. O.o; When I downloaded this version, I automatically went to the Pleasants.

I read somewhere back a few pages where someone preferred the Pleasant family the least (does that make sense?) I'm also another one the absolutely dislikes playing the Pleasant family even though there seems to be so many pictures around of grown up Lilith and Angela.

That house is absolutely awful to play and the twins are a nightmare to make over - I normally just leave that house alone.

I don't have a problem with the ground floor of the Pleasant house. But the upper floor where Angela and Lilith are supposed to sleep is a real nuisance to play. I hate the upper floor. Too easy to lose people and stuff like homework up there.

As for making the girls over, I'm not as makeover crazy as a lot of folks on here are so I'm not so much concerned about that. It's the house that annoys me. And that stupid swing in the backyard. Make us have to buy that. I can't count the number of times I've nearly botched getting Kaylynn woo hooed by Daniel because she insisted on using the gall dern swing.

Pleasantview is the only 'hood I play and i only have made 2 of my own families and a few individual sims. Most of the sims I play are Maxis made or their descendants.

Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant broke up shortly after she found him with the maid. Mary-Sue continued her career in politics, as well as dating and marrying “Mr. Big” – Waylon Scott – who was a good source of contacts for an aspiring politician. Angela and Lillith improved their relationship some, and both attended college. Angela married Dustin Broke and has four children: Michael, Gabrielle, Raphael and Urielle. Lillith married Dirk Dreamer and has three children: twins Jared and Jezebel and daughter Delilah. Mary Sue and Waylon adopted a boy named Alan. He is now in college.

Daniel moved out and dated anything with a pulse (and one without – he almost became a vamp!), before fate (and the Gypsy matchmaker, pre-patch) intervened and brought him Ms. Social Worker. They married and she changed her name to Soshi (short for Shoshanna). Then their son Adam was born and she became a family sim. Daniel died of old age shortly after that. I didn’t much care for him but I wanted a boy to carry on the Pleasant family name. Adam is now also in college. He and Alan are good friends.

Daniel and Mary-Sue died on my game, and Angela moved in just before they died with her husband to inherit the house - and had twin/triplet boys. Poor Angie.

Mortimer II, Alexander Goth's son, recently completed college with an Art degree and has just got married to Neva Luna - an elven Sim.

6th Jan 2008, 11:16 PM

I only played two of the pleasantview households and they were the Brokes and Dina and Nina Caliente. (Mostly just Dina)

The Brokes - Dustin grew up and married Dina. He achieved the highest level of the crime career. They had two children, one boy who is a teenager and a girl who is now a child. Dustin and Dina are now elders.

Beau grew up into an adult and married a townie named Lexie. They have a baby boy together. He is also pursuing a career in athletics.

The youngest child, which I named Aiden, is now an adult and is married to Meadow. They have two girls, one is a child and one is still a baby and there is also one more baby on the way.

Brandi is an elder and is all alone in her house.

Simmer!

7th Jan 2008, 11:59 AM

I've been watching toooooo much Jerry Springer and Maury and my pleasantville is starting to reflect it. Don has kids with both Caliente sisters, Cassandra and Brandi. Dina Caliente is raising Don's kid with her husband Mortimer and is now expecting a baby with him. I think I might set up Don with Angela Pleasent next.

14th Jan 2008, 01:04 AM

I started out playing the Goths for a little, where Cassandra got left at the altar by Don. Later that night, she saw a ghost, and so she moved out of the house.
Eventually, she showed up at Darren Dreamer's place and he flirted for a bit before inviting her to spend the night. Two days later, they both got married & a little while later, Cassandra was pregnant with her first child. Since then, she's become a science teacher, Darren's changed his aspiration to family, and Darleen's grave has been moved. Dirk grew up and moved Downtown, where I'm hoping to keep up his relationship with Lillith.

As for the Pleasants, Daniel was caught with the maid (after Mary Sue got demoted, ouch!) and so she divorced him a day later (she needed his paycheck). Mary Sue finally brought the remnants of her family back together, so now Lillith & Angela are actually friends! And Mary Sue is an elder, still rising the career ladder. Daniel is a bachelor who drinks one too many Elixirs of Life, but I haven't decided how I'm going to plot his downfall yet. Buuut, he and Mary Sue are still friends and have flings from time to time. Lillith & Angela have moved into a townhouse Downtown, where I still have yet to play them.

Brandi got married to one of my custom Sims, Chris Pollack, and so far has had two kids from him. Before that, however, Dustin snuck out and got arrested. Beau was the only one keeping the Broke family together. However, after her marriage, Brandi didn't have too much stress, Dustin made straight A's, Beau continually acheived Platinum aspiration, and Brandi gave birth to her previous husband's last son... I forgot what I named him. Since then, Brandi's given birth to Milo, her fourth boy, Dustin's moved downtown, and Beau has become a teenager.

I didn't do much for the Calientes and friends except for marry Dina off to Mortimer. I plan on making her the evil stepmother to Alexander and somehow killing Mortimer off so Dina can have her way with Don.

I've too much time on my hands...

I did some pretty bad stuffs to them.

First off, Mary-Sue caught Daniel cheating with the maid, but they somehow repaired their marriage and stayed together. I then moved the Corals in. Everything was fine until I decided that Daniel should cheat on Mary-Sue again. But this time round, he's cheating on his wife with his mother-in-law, Coral. Herb was dead before they cheated. Mary-sue found out about the mom-and-husband affair and eventually drowned in the pool. Her soul then decided to leave puddles in the middle of the night. It was so irritating that I decided to move her grave. No one has visited her since then.

As for Lilth and Angela, both are adults now. And they still remain as enemies. Lilth is a Criminal Mastermind and Angela is unemployed. I have always liked Lilth and somehow mistreated Angela (because she kept on slapping and initiating fights with Lilth) by depriving her of school and homework when they were teens. :nana: Now, Lilth and Dirk are married and living in the pleasant's household. Angela is still in love with Dustin, but Dustin is not ready for settling down. Daniel and Coral got married and adopted a child. Her name is called "I-forgot". Lilth and "I-forgot" are very close and Daniel is trying to get closer to both his daughters.

And yes I know, very screwed up relationships.

Just got the Prima guide boxed set today so I restarted the neighborhood again. This time starting the family and using the kickoffs the guide suggested. Can you believe this was the first time I actually used the wedding arch at Goth Manor or separated Nina from Dina?

Haven't done too much out of the ordinary yet. Don's married to Cassandra and living at Goth Manor with her and Alexander. Dina's married Morty and moved him in leaving Nina to move into a little townhouse across from Don's default place. Grew up Beau Broke. And pretty much just the basics for the Dreamers and Pleasants. Although the twins didn't catch Daniel cheating with the maid. Just Mary-Sue. Timing keep the girls from being in on things as well. Oh and Mary-Sue tried to pick a fight with Kaylynn after catching her with Daniel. Which she lost. I'm thinking I may have her spiral into depression as a result

Really the most interesting family since the restart have been Mr & Mrs. Mortimer Caliente. After moving Morty into the Caliente place they got robbed of the hot tub. (Since been replaced.) Adopted their first child Andrew and Dina's pregnant with number two. As a result I've RenuYu-ed her into a Family sim. I hate dealing with materialistic Fortune sims. Andrew's kinda cute and looks like he could carry on the traditions of his new family once he grows into his giraffe neck.

First I gave everyone a make-over. Okay lets start with the Caliente's. Well first I made Dina marry a sim created by me and they moved away. I made Don move in with Nina, then I invited over Cassandra to end it with her and Don, with the result of trashcan being tipped over everyday. Anyway, Nina got pregnant with Mina Caliente who is now an Adult married to another sim I created. Then Nina had 3 other kids, Melinda, Steven, and Dillion.

For the Goths, I got the "fake" Bella to move back in and remarried to Mortimore. They had twins, I forgot their names. Anyway Alexander grew up and yaddee yaddee yadah. Cassie gets engaged with Darren, then Mortimore dies. THE END!

I played a little bit more:

Broke: John Burb moved in and married Brandi. They got twins and Brandi is pregnant again. They want 10 kids... Beau aged to teen and is dating Alexander Goth. Dustin went off to college. Got Angela pregnant and was kicked off college (due to bad grades). He now lives with Angela in a small house with twins and no funds.

Burb: Lucy fell in love with Don, got pregnant. Jennifer wasn't too happy about it and Lucy decided to move out and live with Don.

Goth: Not much happened. Dina got sick and then got better. Alexander fell in love with Beau.

Caliente: Nina got pregnant by Don. She got a cute little girl. Don wanted to move in together, but Nina doesn't want a comitted relationship. Don visits regularly to see his daughter.

Pleasant: Mary Sue still doesn't know about her husband's affair. She got pregnant and got twins (I have too many twins). They kicked out Angela because she got pregannt as a teen and they were very disappointed in her. Angela went to live with Dustin in a small town house and got twins.

Oldies: Kaylynn got a son, Gabriel. Then she got pregnant by Coral's husband (forgot his name). Coral never found out. Coral's husband died and Coral went into aspiration failure.

Cassandra Cassandra filed for divorce. Darren came by a lot to help her with the baby. They fell in love and Cassandra moved in with Darren and Dirk. Cassandra doesn't like Dirk very much. She disapproves of his relation with Lilith.

Lothario: After Cassandra moved out, he got Nina pregnant. She didn't want a committed relationship though. With the baby and all their romantic relationship cooled down, but they are still friends. One day Lucy Burb walked by and Don fell instantly in love. They started seeing each other. Jennifer disapproved because of the age difference. Don got Lucy pregnant and she moved in with him. They got twins.

Lilith Lilith went to uni. She graduated and went to live in a nice little place. The relation with Dirk cooled down. And she started dating with another guy (some townie). He has recently moved in with her. (He'll probably move out again, and she'll get back to Dirk, I forgot they were dating, since I hardly play the Dreamer family. I'll have to catch up with them.)

I'm going to describe what happened before I reinstalled my game...

Mortimer/Dina: Mortimer actually moved in with Dina - not really what I wanted because she didn't get the Marry a Rich Sim memory. I played them for a while. He died without getting her pregnant. She was unsuccessfully attempting to fulfill the Earn $100,000 want when I reinstalled.

Oldie: Played them both until they died. I could never get Coral out of aspirational failure after Herb died.

Don: Don fulfilled his lifetime want to Woohoo with 20 Sims. Near the end of his life, he had Nina move in with him (I always liked them as a pair).

Nina: Moved in with Don when he was an elder and she was a youngish adult. Eventually Don died, so I had a couple more people move in with Nina: Brittany Upsnott from uni (whose aspiration I changed to romance), and Marylena Hamilton the delivery lady. (She's gorgeous, btw. Even as an elder she's not bad.) With two romance Sims living in one house, things were bound to get ugly, and they did when Brittany (who loved Nina) caught Nina flirting with Marylena. I didn't want to deal with that, so I moved Brittany out. Then Nina got electrocuted trying to repair a computer. I didn't want her to be dead just yet, so I had Brittany - the only college-educated Sim who had known Nina - go into the paranormal career track to get a Reaperphone. She eventually resurrected Nina. They basically ran a two-woman bordello at their little house downtown. Except, you know, without the money.

Meanwhile, I discovered that Marylena Hamilton is awesome. After her lover (Nina) died, she married Mr. Big, had his child - and he also died. But she managed to raise the kid just fine. She also became my only non-university Sim ever to earn $100,000, which was her lifetime want. She is one hell of a resilient lady.

Anyway.

Burb: Jennifer was trying unsuccessfully to earn $100,000 but I don't think she ever even made it to $75,000. John became Captain Hero. Just before Jennifer became an elder, they had a second child: a son named David, who was extremely smart. Lucy went off to college and got engaged to Aaron Broke (Brandi's third son). They moved into a house that they couldn't afford to furnish, and after making some odd cash from a painting and some freestyling, they used dates to get themselves in a good mood, kick themselves into platinum, and get promoted. I've always found dates useful for that reason.

Pleasant: Daniel broke it off with Kaylynn after he saw her with another man (her husband Tim). Mary-Sue never knew about it. They both became soccer stars and were generally happy together. Lilith went off to college and got engaged to Aldric Davis. She repaired her relationship with her father a little bit, but it was only as he was getting old: she wanted the inheritance. Angela died from something or other - can't remember - and was resurrected by Dirk (more on that later). Mary-Sue died, and then Daniel had a thing going with Cassandra later in life...

Cassandra/Alex: Alex grew up, became a knowledge Sim, went to college. Cassandra never got married, and as she was about to become an elder, she didn't want to be old and unmarried or childless. First, in order to avoid having her be unmarried, I moved a Far East local in with her (a Vanessa Chen, who is drop-dead gorgeous and you should all use her genes for your kids). But that wouldn't get her children, so I set Vanessa up with a hot Russian guy and moved her out. Cassandra's biological clock was still ticking.

Enter Daniel Pleasant, who was approximately the same age as a Stegosaurus fossil at the time. Cassandra did about the witchiest thing any Sim has ever done: she voodooed him into having a crush on her, worked her feminine wiles for a bit, then slept with him and got pregnant with his child so that he would marry her. And he did. They went on a honeymoon, during which she was generally miserable because she was pregnant and her needs (hunger, bladder, comfort, energy) were going down faster than normal. When I had to reinstall, Cassandra hadn't had her baby yet, and Daniel was still alive... for a couple more days, anyway.

Brokes/Dreamers: I had them move in together and Brandi and Darren got married. For some reason, when you put two bankrupt Sims together, they become financially solvent. Anyway, they moved in, but there really wasn't enough room in the house for everyone, so I sent Dustin to college where he gathered dust in a dorm of Sims I never play. I never liked him much. Dirk eventually went off to college too, where he met Heather Huffington, whose aspiration I changed to pleasure. Beau and Aaron (Brandi's other son) went to college too. Beau paired off with Tiffany Sampson, and Aaron with Lucy Burb.

Dirk graduated and moved back in with his parents. Meanwhile, Angela Pleasant had died, and it was up to Dirk - as the only college-educated Sim she knew - to resurrect her. He did, and she lived with the Broke/Dreamer family for her entire teenhood. She became a serial dater, as her aspiration had been changed to Pleasure and she wanted to have 50 first dates. She went off to college and remained a serial dater. Eventually Dirk's fiancee, Heather, graduated and wanted to have 50 dream dates, so Dirk spent most of his adult life in an endless cycle of dates with his fiancee. On the 50th one, they finally got married. When I had to reinstall, Heather was pregnant with his child.

Mortimer married Diana who is been pregnant forever...I just don't like to play them. The only time I see Mortimer is when someone looks through their telescope in the day.
Cassandra married some sim I made up and is now a grandmother. Brandi Broke married one of the town people and has a small bakery where she makes pies.
Nina and Don got married and had a baby but were to lazy to tend to it so it got taken away. Nina died in a fire and became a ghost...she missed Don I guess because she came and scared him to death. Everyone I move into that lot gets scared to death expect for two knowledge sims...It is actually a fun condo to play because there are like six ghosts.

Pleasantview is my favorite neighborhood to play, and my Sims always end up with soap-opera-ish drama.Here goes...

GOTH - DREAMER - LOTHARIO - CALIENTE

Mortimer married Dina; they had two children, Christabel and Damien. (Dina also had an affair with Don after Mortimer's death; it resulted in twins, Mariana and Fabian.) Nina moved in with Dina in the Goths' old house; she also had a child by Don, called Martin. Cassandra and Don had a daughter, Cara, while they were engaged. Then Cassandra caught Don cheating on her with Dina. She left him and later married Darren Dreamer - they have a ridiculous amount of children, all of whose names begin with the letter D. Don's many affairs left him with a lot of children as well: Cara Goth, Joshua Montgomery, Max Wooding, Fabian and Mariana Goth, Martin Caliente, Talia Warren, Jonathan Lovann, and the James twins, Hattie and Lyra.

Cara, all grown up, married a Sim of mine named Quincy Montmorency; they have a son, Ben, and two daughters, Bella and Arianna.

Dirk Dreamer married Lilith Pleasant; they have two children, Sean and Yessica. They stayed in the Pleasant house with Mary-Sue until she died, at which point they continued to live there.

Alexander Goth married Liliana Hale. They have four children - Annabelle, Edward, and twins William and Gwendolyn. Liliana's sister Adelaide married Charles Montmorency, the brother of the Quincy who married Alexander's niece Cara. It's tough to keep all of these relationships straight...

PLEASANT - BURB - LANGERAK - BROKE

Daniel Pleasant had an affair with Kaylynn Langerak. Mary-Sue kicked him out; he and Kaylynn moved in together and had three children, Griffin, Daniela, and Anastasia. He then died. Kaylynn and the children live with Dustin and Angela Broke and their daughter, Susannah.

Beau Broke married Victoria Hudson, a randomly spawned Sim that another Sim, Eliana Samarra, randomly "adopted" using a cheat. They are currently expecting a child.

Brandi (now an elder) lives with her third son, Benjamin, and her adopted fourth son, Jack. With the Brokes live Jackie Wooding and her son Maxwell (his father was Don Lothario).

John Burb got struck by lightning and died. Jennifer and Lucy live with Dirk and Lilith and their children in the Pleasants' old house. Lucy is going to marry Ben Broke.

I have way too much fun with this stuff XD

For the Brokes, Brandi remarried to Axel Vega. They plan on having a child soon. Dustin and Beau recently graduated. Dustin is living with his fiance, Angela, in her parents' house while Beau is currently rooming with one of the most popular girls in the neighborhood. It's somewhat ironic after having him be the most ignored sim from his childhood to early adulthood. ;]

21st Jan 2008, 05:01 AM

Okay. My last round was kind of eventual. Brandi had the son she starts pregnant with. But there are still only two kids in the house because Beau crashed. He overworked himself and ended up getting so tired he feel asleep standing up next to Brandi's bed. And since Brandi was distracted by having the baby, named Bobby after his late grandfather Bob Newbie, Beau ended up getting taken by Social Services before he could wake up. So the plan is to not have any more kids adopted until Dustin comes of age and have him adopt Beau back into the family.

The Pleasant house has become an emotional typhoid house. Mary-Sue attacked Kaylynn a second time and lost. Then she attacked Daniel and lost that fight too. So she threw Daniel out and went into aspiration failure. Her social need plummeted so Social Bunny showed up and she attacks him. First fight she managed to win. After that I moved the Oldies in to look after their daughter's mental health. And no sooner do Herb and Coral arrive on the lot than they have a spat which causes them to fall out of love. Yet the twins are blissfully unaware about why their parents split up.

Meanwhile I've added the Burbs to a house and had them move Daniel in. Little has happened so far in this family. And I'm currently debating Daniel's direction. Whether to have John's family aspiration influence Daniel onto a path of redemption or whether he'll fall under the spell of the now solo-living Nina Caliente. Who Daniel is quite taken with but is unpopular with the Burbs. Especially his sister Jennifer. For Nina's part, the plan when I'm playing her is to have her try and seduce Daniel into her bed.

In my current neighborhood, I've been playing the Broke family, Pleasant Family and Don Lothario. Brandi had a boy in my game, she let Angela pleasant move in with them cause Dustin kept wanting to sneak out all the time. The deal was he had to go on the straight and narrow, stay in school and they both had to get jobs and help out with the new baby. They got to be a very close knit group although Angela did set the house on fire by accident once but she saved little Beau'slife and got him out in time. Angela and Dustin got engaged, went to college and had a little boy. Brandi wanted adopted a little girl, Tiffany. Tiffany grew up to have 3 kids and she was abolutely adored by them all. With Don, he hooked up with a new gal in town named Ali and moved in with her. They were a pretty good match and they ended up with 6 kids together (and she also had a set of twins from Daniel Pleasant). Im currently on the third generation Don's grandson Johnathon and Brandi Broke's granddaughter Josie have just started dating.

The Goths have been chumming along rather happily since I began to play them. Cassandra married Don in her backyard, just like she wanted. Now, Don can't keep his hands off of her or the dozen other ladies he's taken a liking to, including Nina Caliente! Dina and Nina moved in when Dina married Mortimer, but Nina later moved back into their old place to start a real life for herself. She was tired of being her sister's shadow--and she certainly isn't anymore.

Anyways, Cassandra quickly became pregnant. During her pregnancy, she gained a new outlook on life. Science lost its magic to her. Instead, she wanted to protect her soon-to-be born baby from the evils the world had prepared for them. She was soon to know that she would be protecting two lovely children, Adele and Stefan! About a week after, Dina gave birth to a set of twins herself, Marland, a boy, and a baby girl. Though the surprises didn't stop there. I left the family just when Cassandra found out she was pregnant with another one of Don's children!

There are currently four babies, four adults and a teen all living under the same roof. I'm gonna go crazy! xD

Been kind of a busy stretch in my game. Most for the Burbs. But been story movement in for the Dreamers and Pleasants as well.

The Dreamers have been playing the love game. Darren been getting quite serious with Marylena Hamilton. It's looking like the relationship could lead to marriage. Darren and Marylena were just on the verge of hitting the sheets together when I left them. While Dirk's playing the two girls at once game. He's still Lilith's man first and foremost. But he does have a pretty nice flirtation going with Sophie Miguel on the side. Don't know if I'll let that last past the teenage years though.

Lilith is really going to need out of that house and Dirk's probably her top ticket at the moment. Her grandparents are starting to patch up whatever their little mystery beef was. Herb and Coral are crushing each other once again. But MAry-Sue is still very much the basket case. Had a visit from the therapist and finally got around to replacing that homewrecker Kaylynn with Lucy Hanby. And poor Lilith got her hiney kicked by Angela in another fight.

But the real change has been at the Burb house. Not all of it good. Jennifer Burb is dead. She and John got pregnant but her motives got nuked horribly. As a result she passed out two nights in a row and ultimately became so confused she couldn't decide whether to eat or sleep. So she ultimately did neither and now takes the Big Sleep in the backyard. The really weird thing is this came just before Lucy's 13th birthday and she grew up platinum despite learning of her mom's death just before school on the big day. Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen Lucy as a teen and she definitely takes after Jennifer. Very pretty young lady. Also Daniel has aged to elder and I'm thinking that I'll have him mellow with the combined effects of age and the loss of his little sister. Had thought of pairing Mary-Sue with Benjamin Long but with all this change hitting Daniel at once I'm now thinking reconciliation.

Angela and Lilith got so furious with their father when they caught him cheating that they jammed the lock on his bedroom door. Kaylinn managed to go home anyway, but Daniel starved to death. (Much to the amusement of the two girls.)

Man, that's classic. Sounds almost as quirky as my most recent death in the neighborhood. I'm playing Dina and Morty (Goth) Caliente's house. Dina has just delivered her natural child with Morty, a daughter named Amata. Mortimer goes to invite Alexander and Cassandra over to meet their new stepsister. But only Alexander feels like coming. I'm thinking Cassandra had a premonition and stayed home. Either that or she was too feverish. She's preggy by Don.

So Alexander comes over and bonds a little with his father and his adopted stepbrother Andrew. Morty goes over to the crib to take little Amata out and pass her to her big brother Alex when THUD. Morty hits the floor. With Andrew out of position to plead for him and Dina asleep because delivering Amata took so much out of her. It was just so tragic. If I were female I might have cried for poor Morty. I'm thinking now Aunt Nina may move back in if I can repair the relationship between the sisters.

9th Feb 2008, 12:10 PM

As I have had to uninstall and start the game again due to some uncurable glitches, here is what has happenes so far.

The Goth Family + Don Lothario + The Broke Family + The Caliente Family - Cassandra and Don got married, Don moved into the Goth manor, and all was perfect. But then, when Cassandra went off to work the next day, Don invited Nina around and they WooHoo'd. Then, Don had the want to WooHoo with Dina so he said goodbye to Nina and invited Dina around. Unfortunatly, Mortimer caught them making out on a bed and Mortimer and Don are now enemies, and Mortimer also now hates Dina - kinda bad, because I was planning on Mortimer marrying Dina. The storyline so far is that Mortimer doesn't want to shame himself and his daughter by telling Cassandra what he saw Don and Dina up to, and that Mortimer thinks that it was a one off...

Anyway, in a strange twist, Mortimer started dating Brandi Broke, and Mortimer moved in with Brandi adding over $50,000 to the Broke family funds. They moved out off Brandi's trailer (I kinda liked Brandi as glam trailer trash) into the large house next door to the Goth Manor, and Mortimer and Brandi got married. I'm planning for Cassandra and Brandi to become enemies over this. I'm also planning for Brandi and Mortimer to have kids, and for Brandi's 2 out of 3 sons she had with Skip - Dustin, and Beau - to hate Mortimer, but Justin is too young to know his dad.

That's all I've done so far. Cassandra and Don had twins - Demetrius and Cleopatra, but the babies disapeered in a glitch, so they don't have kids anymore. But will do again soon.

I just started playing with the maxis-made sims, Yesterday.

Pleasant- I had Daniel cheat on mary-sue while she got demoted and came home nothing happend, then my evil self made him woohoo with the maid Kaylynn? Yep, Mary sue caught him and I made her break up with him. Kaylynn also got mad and got out of the house went home? :P Daniel got kicked out, the twins cried. The twins are now bffs! I never thought of them ever stopping the fight, yet the goth one [I get the names mixed up] has issues with her mom.... :smash:

Don Loth- I made him and Nina spend some time together, after the maids visit only a peck for her. I am thinking to get Nina and Don together and hopefully be able to change his aspiration thing and make him more nicer and open up to ONE girl. :taekwondo

The goth- Their house creeps me out, I couldn't stand it! It was dark,mysterious, haunted in other words! Every time I even try to click the house I get the shivers. But I managed to get them a make over and get the hell out :)

Thats all for now :D

The goth- Their house creeps me out, I couldn't stand it! It was dark,mysterious, haunted in other words! Every time I even try to click the house I get the shivers. But I managed to get them a make over and get the hell out :)

Thats all for now :D

Think I'm inclined to agree with you about the Goth house. Not so much about being creeped out. Although I could definitely see that if it were a real place. But that house is a monstrosity. If I were comfortable with anything more than basic Sims interior design, I'd make the place over.

It's angular to the point of annoyance. You have furniture in places that impedes smooth game play. And the lighting. Sweet mother of Madagascar, the lighting! My kingdom for a good couple dozen chandeliers. If I can find another place I like better I'm thinking Cassandra and the remaining Goths will be moving out of the ancestral family home. Why couldn't Maxis have made it as smooth playing a house as it was in Sims 1?

But while I'm on the subject, here's what's up within it. Cassandra just had her child with Don. A little daughter named Hecuba after the queen of Troy. The same queen who was also the mother of Cassandra's mythic namesake. That night when Don comes home from work and wants to woo hoo so I try to have him do it with Cassandra now that she's back to her usual shape. But Kaylynn has been at the piano the whole time and no sooner do Mr & Mrs Goth dive under the sheets than that broken spring sound happens and Kaylynn is mad about Don cheating on her. Um HELLO? She's his WIFE, you little homewrecker. The next day CAssandra bribes Kaylynn 50 simoleons to just go away and to try and cement things I have CAssandra fire Kaylynn. But when I go to hire another maid I can't. It's not until Kaylynn reports for work again I realize why.

Meanwhile I try to get Don to hire a nanny for baby Hecuba so he can bond with Melissa Fancey and move toward bedding her. Had originally intended to move Don toward being faithful but I always play Melissa as the townie tramp anyway. So I figured why not? Did manage to get Melissa over so they could hang out in the school and build that bond. But the nanny didn't show up until five in the afternoon. And it looks like Alexander has a bit of nerd charm. He's dated Lucy Burb but has relationship potential with both her and Sophie Miguel. Who's also been seen flirting with Dirk Dreamer. Thankfully I've played Hecuba through that baby stage. She's in toddlerdom and wearing a tuxedo. Who ever heard of a toddler in a tuxedo?

I'm playing a merged hood of Pleasantview, strangetown and Veronaville at the moment. It's quite fun messing around with different couplings. Here's what I've done with the Pleasantview folks so far:

Goth:
Cassandra escaped from the stuffy goth house and moved to the seaside with her new husband, Antonio Monty. They're expecting a new addition to the family any day now.
Meanwhile, in a freak accident Bella mysteriously became a vampire. To spare the family any shame, Monty has installed her in a remote country castle, away from harms way. He couldn't bring himself to kill her you see, especially as she's carrying a child... This left Monty free to marry Dina Caliente, with whom he now has a daughter, Amelia.
Not much has gone on with Alexander, he's a pretty mixed up teen though, what with all the parental strife that's been going on. He hates Dina for usurping his mother's place (Monty never told him the truth, as far as Alex knows Bella died in a tragic car crash).

Caliente:
Dina as i've mentioned, is married to Monty Goth. Hasn't stopped her heated affair with Don Lothario however. She's pregnant again, but she's not sure about the paternity...not that Monty needs to know about that...
Nina would have a fit if she discovered her sister's dalliances with don as she's now married to him. The live near the beach on Irvine Island (sub-hood) with their twins Matteo and Mercedes; and baby Cassanova. Don has turned out to be a great dad, taking the kids to the beach and entertaining them with his firedancing skills.

Broke:
Brandi's third kid turned out to be a girl (must be a glitch? I didn't know this could happen) called Bea. Bea is a cute kid, she idolises her older brothers and is most definately a tomboy, much to mum's despair - so much for pretty dresses and dollhouses. Bea prefers treehouses and fishing anyday.
Dustin is an adult now, and has moved to the country to pursue his dream of owning a thriving farm. he's married to childhood sweetheart Angela and they've got a little son, Skip. Dustin's not made much money yet but has really settled into the country way of life. Beau meanwhile is a sweet family teen, not sure about his path in life yet.

Pleasants:
Mary Sue and Daniel are still married, and yes, he's still cheating on her. They relocated to the countryside when the twins grew up. But their retirement plans have been disrupted by the fact that Mary-Sue is pregnant. Hopefully daniel will step up to the mark and be a proper father now that he's retired. they're praying it's not twins though!
Whilst Angela is happily married despite not having much money, Lilith is experiencing a very different kind of poverty. She's moved into a tiny trailer with boyfriend Mercutio Monty. With no job prospects, and only a handful of skillpoints between them it doesn't look good for the couple. All they have to make money with is an old guitar and a drumkit.

The Dreamers:
Darren and Dirk moved out of their overlarge house and are now renting a building in downtown Pleasantview. The pair live upstairs in a small apartment and run an art studio downstairs. Darren sells paintings and pottery whilst Dirk pursues his passion for photography. It's true, they barely earn enough to cover the rent but the pair are happy enough, despite being spurned by their respective love interests, Cassandra and Lilith.

I play Pleasantview a lot, and I have several new families - the Montgomery (and Llewelyn and Hale by marriage) and Montmorency families are the largest, and members of both have intermarried with original Pleasantview Sims and their children.

Yesterday I aged up the last set of Dreamer children - due to my rampant use of cheats, there are now nine teenagers living under one roof. Yikes. Thankfully, I aged up Daniel, the eldest except for half-sis Cara, and moved him out. I plan on marrying him to Rhiannon Montmorency - the last of the six Montmorency sibs - once I age her up. Cassandra, who just hit the top of the Science career track, is about to age to elder, and Diana (her second daughter) is about to age to adult. Darren really ought to retire but I haven't gotten around to it.

I played Beau and Victoria Broke today. I spent most of the time building a house, so I didn't have a chance to play more than a day. I did, however, age up their twins, Belle and Bobby. They look a lot alike, and both (rather unfortunately) take after Beau, except with Victoria's natural hair color.

Beau's little brother Ben (Broke number three) is married to Lucy Burb. They have three adorable children whose names I cannot currently remember.

I plan on playing the Hales tomorrow - the eldest Hale, Liliana, is married to Alexander Goth, but I haven't played her siblings in a while.

I also ought to age up the James twins, Hattie and Lyra. They're the youngest of Don Lothario's various children, and they're some of my favorite Sims to play.

Well, Dustin, Dirk and the Pleasant girls just got home from college today. Dirk married Lilith and Dustin married Angela as planned. Mr and Mrs Broke moved in with her parents and will be starting their marriage bed in her teenage room. Planning to bring Brandi over to so she has Daniel and Mary-Sue to help her with the boys while Dustin and Angela both work to support everyone. Could get a mite cramped if Daniel and Mary-Sue live long into Bobby and Baby Broke's child stage (Brandi somehow ended up pregnant again when Bobby was born) or if I follow through with Dustin adopting Beau back into the family. But Lilith's room should convert well enough in the short term.

Meanwhile Dirk and Lilith moved into the house across from Goth Manor and have invited Herb and Coral to live with them. That gives them one room for a bedroom for one child and then Herb and Coral's can go to a second after they pass on.

Well, unfortunately, I haven't been able to do much with my pleasantview neighborhood. I've been trying to add the Maxis Custom neighborhoods as suburbs to my own neighborhood. I've been looking for a way to add them as shopping districts or downtown areas.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Apart from using the neighbourhood template and then moving the houses there then no.

DO NOT MOVE THE SIMS TO A SUBURB BY MOVING THEM INTO A HOUSE THEN MOVING THE HOUSE!

Sorreh. I made that mistake once and had to uninstall my game.

I've been playing Pleasentview ALOT lately too.
Broke
Today I just played the broke's, I ivited over the gypsy, and I got a date for dustin using full amount of money(I'd already broken up him and angela)and he got some townie from BV, and then got one for Brandi. To my surprise, Darren showed up!
Well I had them get married and Brandi had her baby, alittle boy I think I named John?
I've also moved every single resident, and they are all living in different houses in pleasentview, I'm in the process of reaarranging the neighboprhood.

Pleasent
I am keeping lilth mad at everyone. But I've changed her image she's no longer the crazed goth type person, but still kinda down that ally.
Angela is still a real prep but I'm planning something for her, just still working on it.
Danial is going to stay a cheater, but its just an on the side thing, he still is a caring husband.
Mary-sue is pregnant, I'm thinking its only one. She is for now giong to stay obliviousto daniels cheating.

Lothario
He is going to stay the town"cassanova" But I'm planning some dirty dieapers in his future =]

Goth
I aged down Cass and Morty, and going to with Alex, I'm planning on bringing back Bella too.

Oldie
They have their own house, and I'm planning on them having something to do with the whole town, it won't be that big though.

Burb
In my game they are a really rich family, But I'm trying to think of some good drama.
I'm thinking sibling rival between Mary sue and Jennifer.

I'd have to say Pleasantview is my fave hood, so I've done a lot with it!

I'll just explain my favorite family because they take up most of the neighborhood.

Goth/Dreamer/Lothorio:
Well basically, I started off with Cassandra and Don getting married, they were happy for a while and even had a beautiful daughter, Lucille. Then Cassandra caught Don cheating on her with one of his numerous girlfriends and they broke up. Don moved back to his bachelor pad

Cassandra married Darren Dreamer and took Lucille with her. They had three children together: Dave, Isabella, and Darryl. All went to college, got married, and have children now. Cassandra and Darren have reached the golden years and they are quite a cute old couple!

Cassandra and Darren make wonderful kids together. They were all so unique and very attractive (with only some minor plastic surgery here and there). :p
Dirk and a particulary gorgeous townie, Nicole Bradshaw, got married after college and have two daughters: Darleen (after his mom), and Miranda. Darleen is naturally GORGEOUS. Like, jaw droppingly so.

Haha needless to say I have way too many Goth/Dreamer relations running around and everyone seems to be distantly related to eachother...

I've just started replaying Pleasantview.

So far, Mary Sue caught Daniel cheating on him and kicked him out. He moved into a small house and is living with Kaylynn, but not for long. I like her and I think I'm going to find her someone decent to live with. Mary Sue quit her job and is going to spend her time relaxing like she used to.

Don Lothario woohoo'd with Dina, Nina, Kaylynn and Cassandra all in the same day. He asked Cassandra to move in because he wanted her money but is trying to delay a wedding. It worked. She was taking out the trash one day and caught him making out with a neighbor. She started an affair with Darren, and then she and Don got into a fistfight, that she won.

Afterwards, Don went over to visit Dina? (the red head, I get them mixed up) and while her sister was woohooing with Mortimer, trying to have his baby to win a way into his will, Don and Red Caliente sister got pregnant. Blonde Caliente is pregnant with Mortimer's baby.

Blonde Caliente will be moving in and marrying Mortimer.

Don, playboy that he is, will eventually father a child with all the women he loves :)

Well I restarted my game so I could start a fresh.

First of all I was just bored with the Maxis storylines, i'd played them a million times. So I decided to put my own little twist on them.

Broke Family

I first of all made Brandi max in cooking and also in the cuisine hobby. She then entered a cooking comp and won. That in turn gave the Broke family money to do up the house.
Dustin cheated on Angela with Lilth, I use to hate Angela but now I feel sorry for her.
Beau became best friends with Angela and is habouring a secret crush on her lol.
Brandi also married Darren Dreamer and they are planning to move out into a bigger home with beau and Brandis little boy Skip.

Pleasant

Lilth took revenge on Angela by seducing Dustin and having an affair with him. She then made Dustin dump Angela and then dumped Dustin. I think Im going to make her a maniser. Stealing Don's crown hehe.
Mary-Sue got rid of Daniel and got herself a money grabbing toy boy. They are travelling now and Mary-Sue retired.
Daniel is totally broke and moved in with Don, things can only turn worse moving in with him.

I am still working on the others so will update as I go along.

I've just restarted Pleasantview recently and so haven't got too far - although I have the storylines all figured out.

Caliente - Dina has married Mortimer and moved into his mansion, she's about to get pregnant. Nina is basically sleeping her way around Pleasantview and is currently pregnant with Herb Oldie's child. I'm planning on her having children with almost everyone including her sisters husband Mortimer and Daniel as I'm hoping for red headed children.

Goth/Lothario - Cass and Don got married but then she caught him cheating with Nina and threw him out although she's just discovered she's pregnant with his child. She doesn't fancy being a single mother so has started things up with Darren Dreamer again and is planning to marry him.

Dreamer/Langerak - I moved Kaylynn into her own house and she and Darren got together after he gave up hope on Cassandra when she got married. Kaylynn is pregnant and they're engaged. However when Darren found out about Cassandra's divorce he got back together with her and is about to break up with Kaylynn. In revenge Kaylynn is going to have an affair with Don and have his baby. I haven't done much with Dirk other than continue his relationship with Lillith.

Broke - Brandi got fed up of having no money and has turned into a bit of a black widow. She keeps marrying townies and then when they mysteriously die she's left with enough money to move into a nicer house.

MAKEOVERS!

...

And some other stuff, lol. Dina married Mortimer, but hates Nina from now until forever because of one can of beer. Nina got a beer out of the fridge, and upon finishing it ran upstairs and made out with Mortimer, with Dina right in the room.

I don't know how anyone got Don to marry Cassandra--in my game Cass got left at the altar, and went on to marry into the Dreamer family. Don disgusts me. :C

coquix77

20th Mar 2008, 05:42 PM

I reinstalled too. So...

Cassandra got left at the altar by Don, but moved on with Darren. They're married now and living in his house with their kids Darra and Darius. Mortimer was going to propose to Dina until he caught her and Don making out. He started up a friendship with Coral Oldie, and she moved in when she caught Herb with a college sim. They eventually fell in love, married, and raised little Alex together. (I actually liked this pairing. They always rolled wants to make out, flirt, and woohoo with each other)

Mary-Sue caught Daniel with the Kaylynn and kicked him out. She focused her time on her daughters and after a lot of work they all became very close. Mary-Sue married a Mr. Big and is very happy expecting her third child. Daniel moved into a condo with Kaylynn and cheated on her with Nina. She moved out with their daughter Langston. Kaylynn's now engaged and living with a townie who loves taking care of her daughter. Daniel is an elder all alone and Herb just died.

Angela had Dustin's son Austin as a teen, and are now living together. I renamed Dirk Darrik; him and Lilith are living together expecting their first kid. Lilith has actually become very close to her grandma.

Brandi married a townie, Jason and is very happy. Dustin took a while to warm to him, but her other two boys Beau and Bobby loved him instantly. She got pregnant right after the wedding and is about to pop.

Alex, Lucy, Beau, David Ottomas, and Marla Biggs are in college. Lucy and Beau are dating as are Alex and Marla; David has developed a crush on Alex.

Nina and Don are still the town tramps and have a daughter together, Donna. Dina got pregnant with Michael Bachelor(by inteen) and is looking for love. I'll probably make a Sim for her.

John Burb runs a market and Jennifer is almost a superstar. They had twins Diana and Jeffery. I noticed that Dina comes to the store a lot. Hmmmm.

22nd Mar 2008, 11:30 PM

Let's see...

Goth household:
Mortimer married Dina, but Dina flirted with someone real soon, so Mort broke up with her and moved back home with Alexander and Cassandra.
Cassandra married Darren Dreamer, who moved in with Dirk (still a teen); and they just had their first baby, Danielle.
Alexander is now a teen. He gets along okay with Dirk. His girlfriend is Samantha Singleton, who is Angela Pleasant's daughter. I plan on letting them get married after college.
Dirk had a crush on Terry Singleton (Samantha's twin sister); but actually slapped her out of jealousy when she was on a date with David Ottomas. For that, I turned him into a Grilled Cheese Sim. He's now an adult and living by himself.
Samantha resurrected Mortimer after he died of old age with her father's Grimmy-phone; and Mort moved into his own house so Darren and Cassandra could have more room.
Terry Singleton has three bolts with David Ottomas, so they'll be getting married after college, too.

Pleasant household:
Daniel and Mary-Sue never broke up, though Daniel did have a fling or two when she wasn't looking. He went on full grandfather duty when Angela came home from college with her now-husband, Thomas Singleton, a CAS Sim of mine. Daniel died of old age, but Mary-Sue resurrected him with Thomas' Grimmy phone. I had Daniel and Mary-Sue move out so the twins (Terry and Samantha) could have their own rooms. (Terry is in Lilith's old room, and Samantha is in Angela's old room.)
Lilith went to college with her sister and four CAS Sims of mine (including Thomas, Angela's husband); and married Danny Donovan. They have two children - Tracy, who looks so much like her mom it's frightening, and Michael, who didn't inherit her hair color, but did inherit her green eyes. She's currently mayor of SimCity.

Caliente household
Dina married Mortimer, but her roving eye ended the marriage quick, so I moved her in with Don Lothario, not having anything else to do with her. Or him, actually. Nina is in a house by herself.

The Oldies are also in a house by themselves, but the Burbs are still in the Bin.

23rd Mar 2008, 07:15 AM

I've restarted Pleasantview lots of times. I find the other towns boring, except for that spooky old woman's house in Strangetown.

Also, I find the usual married/chated-on/had kids/went to college stuff boring, so my stories are usually heavily dependent upon violence, making enemies of people, and engineered situations.

The first time I played Pleasantview, I really only played the Goth and Broke families. Mortimer Goth never married, but Cassandra Goth married Beau Broke (because he was all growed up from me playing the Broke family) and went on to be a factory of children until the fear of having another child was almost constant in her list of fears.

The second time I played Pleasantview it was a soap opera of epic proportions containing vampires, nazis, murders, and family rivalries, with a series of dramatic screen captures, to boot.

Goth:
I started out with the Goths again, and had Mortimer marry Dina Caliente. He sampled Dina's hot young goods on the night of his wedding and then promptly croaked. I got this brilliant picture of Mortimer with a horrific expression on his face, seen through the hourglass the Grim Reaper holds up.

Dina turned into a businesswoman and proper Goth family matriarch, adopted Lucy Burb (whose parents had been reduced to dust in a fire) and used to have a constant need to communicate with family members that had moved away or gone off to college.

Broke and Dreamer:
Dustin Broke and Dirk Dreamer started their own crime ring because their parents kept piling bills up without being motivated to do anything about them. Dustin got Angela Pleasant addicted to drugs and tried to sell her into prostitution (I had cool set up pics for Dustin running from the police, killing his mother, forcing little Angela on her knees in front of some dude, etc.). Dirk Dreamer had his dad and Cassandra Goth bumped off in a drive-by (had a pic of that too) because they were hindering his business.
Dustin got thrown into the slammer because he was stupid. Dirk Dreamer is now the crimelord of Pleasantview.

Pleasant and Lothario:
Daniel Pleasant and Don Lothario exchanged a series of hot steamy messages over the computer, each thinking the other was a girl. But then they met up. And it was cool, and Daniel Pleasant moved in with his new flame Don Lothario, ditching the frigid politician Mary-Sue.

Alexander Goth:
Alexander Goth shaved his head and turned into a neo-nazi. He murdered Daniel Pleasant just because he was a nasty homophobe as well. He is a politician.

Mary-Sue Pleasant:
Mary-Sue, however, remained good friends with Daniel upon her breakup, mainly for her political career, and because her political rival Alexander Goth is a homophobe. She convinced one of those rich downtown sims to move in with her, then had one of her vampire henchmen (her mum, Coral Oldie) bump him off so she could take all his money.

Nina Caliente:
Nina Caliente married one of my CAS family that had a ruggedly handsome dad with two gaunt-looking children. The children made decent replacement boyfriends for Angela and Lilith Pleasant.

Pleasant twins:
Lilith Pleasant turned into a vampire and adopted a son since she couldn't seem to have children. She now lives in a very big and spookily-lit old mansion and plays guitar in clubs for a living. She also killed a lot of people just because I had this cool mod (which I can't find any more) and she is supposed to be a dangerous old vampire.

Angela Pleasant married the replacement boyfriend I made for her, and became a snobby film actress. Probably her dream come true or something. She also finally made peace with her sister. They still don't talk or anything, but they're not enemies.

Cool eh? The real fun was setting up lots/situations to take pictures, really.

Anyway, that game got wiped off while I was doing some maintenance and didn't take a backup, so I just started a new one.

In the new game, I've only really played the Pleasants. Daniel and Mary-Sue woohoo often because Kaylynn caught them at it once and slapped Daniel silly, so no more action from the maid.
Lilith and Angela started their own death metal band with Lilith playing guitar and Angela on drums (really, the Jackson Flying V that I got from the cool people at modthesims2.com deserves only the most aggressive, threatening music played through it). They still hate each other, but rocking out is fun and profitable.

Here's a pic: omploader.org/vZXZn

I also have a copy of Pleasantview with the adult characters turned into teens and the elders into adults. I haven't played much of that.

25th Mar 2008, 01:30 AM

Dina, Nina, Don, Mortimer:
Dina married Mortimer and Nina married Don. Don & Dina had an affair and Dina ended up pregnant, and so did Nina. Dina had twins (a boy and girl) Adrian and Adriana. Nina had a girl named Nikki. Don was also having an affair with my sim Nicole, who ended up pregnant with Don't son, Carson. When Nina found out that Dina's twins were Don's, she & Dina got into a big cat fight. Mortimer died and Dina moved out with her twins. Nina became pregnant with Don's baby, a boy who they named Flamenco (Flame). Dina met a single dad named Kevin and his daughter, Aidan. They got married and had a baby girl, Caroline.

Cassandra, Darren, Dirk, Alexander:
Cassandra and Darren got hitched. Dirk & Alexander moved in with them. Cassandra & Darren had a baby but when I moved my old games to my new computer, he dissapeared.... so now Cassandra is pregnant again. Darren was working as a doctor and wasn't around much so Cassandra called up her good friend Mary-Sue and things went romantic between them...

The Pleasants:
Daniel kept up his affair with Kaylynn who ended up pregnant with their daughter, Isabelle. Lilith turned good and Angela turned into bad. Mary-Sue was in major depression after getting fired so she built up a relationship with Cassandra.

Broke:
Brandi got married again. Just in time for her son, Daniel to be born. She married a nice guy named David Anderson. Dustin is keeping out of trouble for now.

That's all I have now because I don't play with the Burbs much!

any chance you could link up the pics?

Partially I'm sad that my pleasent view got all destroyed, never found out how things ended up in there, but I'm not interested enough in them to start a new one. Anyhow, at least it tought me to do backups.

I lost the pics when I had to wipe out my OS install, but forgot to do a backup. I really only played the story to take cool pics, but ... I've lost them. :(
But thanks for reading through the silly story. :)

I only ever really seem to play Pleasantview. I've played Strangetown a little because it had pre-made aliens, but was kind of disappointed to learn that the "alien sims" weren't really different in any way apart from their eyes and skin colour.

Update:

Dirk Dreamer got Cheesified for slapping Terry Singleton, so I let him age up and move out on his own. One of the Sims I was offered to Age Up with him was Meadow Thayer.

Well, I moved her in with Dirk; they fell in love and got married, and just had a baby girl with Dirk's hair color, but Meadow's skin tone and eye color, Diana Dreamer.

Terry Singleton went on another date with David Ottomas. This one was a Dream Date, and they're now going steady. She and her family just got back from their vacation home in Three Lakes.

29th Mar 2008, 05:36 AM

Well since I started over, it's a new Pleasantview, but it seems destiny still likes having the same sims together

The Goths:
Cassandra Goth married Darren Dreamer and had a child with him, since Don left her, Darren had decided to make his move and marry the woman of his dreams.

Mortimer Goth- Mortimer was going to marry Dina and did, BUt, he found his wife Bella and cheated on Dina, she ran away after Bella and Mortimer remarried, a glitch must have occured because later on Bella became a ghost but I don't know how. Mortimer is now dead of old age. Mortimer had a child with Dina thought called Charlie, he lives with Dina now as a newly child.

Alexander Goth- Since Alexander was a child when Cassandra moved in with Darren, Bella mysteriously died and so did Mortimer, so the Burbs moved in with him, he became friends with Lucy and when they both became teens, they fell madly over each other.

Don- Don left Cassandra and had an affair with Dina, he was left hanging until one day he got a call from Dina who was crying..... (Find out after the Burbs and Oldies)

Burbs- John became a gardner and worked hard on it while Jennifer became the owner of the Pleasantview Cemetary, she went around houses collecting graves so she could put them together on the lot. Lucy is in love with Alexander...That'ds all I have done with them so far.

Oldies- Herb and Coral adopted a child named Kea and decided to raise her, Coral opened a plant home buisness, and Herb got inspired to make a Robot store as well so he got alo0t of Servos waiting to be sold and is making robots, it seems both of them are in competition with each other.

Calientes- Nina decided to forget Don when she realized she was a lesbian when she noticed she found Brandi quite cute, deciding to go on a date with her, the two evatually got married and now have two children together, Brandi has a granddaughter too.
Dina- She got marriedf to Mortimer only to see him in bed with Bella on the same night, she ran out crying and decide to date Don, but he left evatually as well so Dina went to find love, she spent her days hanging out with Priya Ramantion (SP? She one of the black couples that came with OFB I think, she also married to Sanjay). But Dina found what seems to be her soulmate, Jessica Summers who was single, the two started to date until Jessie told Dina she was pregnant so Dina moved in with her. Jessie died after the birth of Dina II so Dina decided to get back together with Don, the pain for her was too unbearable so she needed to get her mind off it.

Pleasants- Angela got married to Dustin Broke and had a child with him, the two had gone to college with Lilith Pleasant, Dirk Dreamer and Beau Broke, evatually Angela started to make friends with Lilith and now thier friendship is just as tight as Nina and Dina.
Lilith had gotten married to Dirk and surprise, had a child with him as well, they both live with Angela and Dustin now, all of them out of college and raising thier children, Lilith of course had twins.
Mary Sue and Daniel were left alone in thier house, and evatually Daniel forgot the maid and decided to make love with Mary, Mary is hoping to have another child with Daniel.

Dreamer- Darren got married to Cassandra and had a child with her.
Dirk of course got married to Lilith and as above, lives with her, Angela and Dustin and the kids.

Brokes- Brandi married Nina, became best friends with Dina and had kids with her, for a long time they had lived in that house, since Brandi had her other son (Forgot the name) and was about to have another with Dina, they were poor so everyone, Angela who had moved in with them at the time, Dustin and Beau all pulled thier weight to get money, but Beau became a teenager and decided to marry a rich sim to quickly get them all out of that house, and evatually they did move out.
After Beau retunred from College, he married Nyssit Tricou who was resurrected.

I believe that's it for now, many of them have already started thier lives.

I've been playing with the Goths and the Pleasants, in HystericalParoxysm's Megahood. Before Don and Cassandra's wedding, Cassandra was in her room to change into her wedding dress, and Darren came up and they chatted and then he tried to kiss her. She fought him off and Darren went back downstairs. It reminded me so much of those scenes in movies when the languishing-in-love best friend comes up to the bride-to-be's room to convince her not to marry the slick manwhore, and tries to give her a smooch to get his point across. :P
Maybe whatever Darren said stuck in Cassandra's head, though, as she (surprisingly enough) left Don at the altar! I was expecting it to be the other way around. Don fled, Cassandra cried, a restored Bella got into a fight with Dina, while Mary Sue and Alexander obliviously Smustled the night away.

After starting a merged hood and getting ACR, some things sure start getting hectic xD

Goth
Cassandra gets married to Don Lothario and he moves in. The days pass by and he keeps his cheating ways, and has also fallen in love with Chloe Singles. Alexander, meanwhile, grew into a teenage and worked on getting better at the piano. Mortimer though, was bit my a vampire downtown (Angela Pleasant influenced it) and now really enjoys his nocturnal life. (He's sure had some close calls). Don grew tired of life with Cassie sooner than he thought and while Cassandra was pregnant, he broke up with her. Don took a new expensieve car he brought and about 100,000 simoleans as he left the Goth house. It seems the Goth family JUST dosnt learn when it comes to people stealing their money. Mortimer then married Dina, who broke up with him the same day and ALSO took a good 100,000. Quite the misfortunate family. They sure have bad choices in love. But, Cassandra now has her eye on Vidcund Curious. (sadly, she dosnt see anything in Darren except a good friend)

Lothario
Did all of the above and moved into a beautiful beach house. He lives his life the way he's always wanted to, and so far has one child. I'm expecting more to come ;D

Pleasant
Daniel decided to break it off with the maid and stay close to Mary-Sue after he was persuaded by a strong kiss. Mary-Sue is now pregant with another child. Angela is trying to improve her relationship with Lillith and thinks their relationship would work better if she gave Lillith something she really wanted. Or in this case, let her meet a vampire. So Angela went downtown every night in search for one and met a Contessa. Being the girl she was, it was no problem to become good frieneds with the vampire. Though, suprisingly for Angela, having Lillith meeting the Contessa really didnt help much, since she wanted to meet a Count xD Well, now Angela holds quite the powerful friend.

Broke
Ah, the Brokes. Brandi does her best raising Beau and manages to teach all 3 skills to him.Dustin continues his criminal career but also tries to do slightly better in school. (A C is better to him) Beau soon becomes a child and works hard. Brandi falls for Darren Dreamer and goes out with him a few times. She also makes good friends with the Calientes. She try's to earn money by selling of the presents she gets in outings with the three. Though ACR kicked in here (darn randomized gender preferances) and she fell in love with Dina when I wasnt looking. Whoops D: So, since they are in love, I decided to put them together, but not before Dina thought of a good scheme. She as said above, and took of with Mortimers money. And then married Brandi.

Dreamer
After seeing that theres no chance to get Cassie, he decides to try to go out with Brandi. But midway, his heart gets swayed by Lola Singles D: And he deicdes to marry her, BUT, before that...he finds he has three bolts with Jenny Smith. Now he wonders if he should go wit Lola as planner or work on the older woman. He's become quite the charmer...

And not much has happened to Nina...

I've played the Pleasants a bit. Kaylynn came to clean at the Pleasant household as usual, and when she was done she hung around a bit more, so I directed Daniel and her to relax and then woohoo, thinking Mary Sue was going to get a chance card, get fired, come home and catch them. But then I didn't get any chance card -- surprising since I've read that you always get the chance card and Mary Sue always gets fired.
Well, anyway, so Daniel and Kaylynn merrily went on with their woohoo-ing and Kaylynn left afterwards. Then Angela and Lilith came home. Since I was anxious to see their predestined hobbies I made Lilith play some games and Angela play soccer with Dustin -- who she'd brought home from school. Surprisingly Angela has sports as her predestined hobby! I kind of like it. It gives her girly personality an edge. Plus she totally kicks Dustin's ass.
I still don't know any of the other Pleasants' predestined hobbies, though.
Finally Mary Sue came home at the normal time. I'm kind of bummed she didn't get fired, because I wanted her to catch Daniel and Kaylynn. Ah well, I guess I'll have to stage it.

I've been working on my own merged hood for almost a year now, so I haven't been playing a lot. I did start an 'alternate' Pleasantview just to be able to 'play' a little instead of focussing on that one large hood that I might never finish completely. So far, Cassandra had Don's baby (Isabella), two days after Nina had given birth to twins (also Don's). Cassandra doesn't know about this, but she will find out soon *evil*
So, Nina is very busy teaching her daughters (Natasha and Tatjana) to walk and talk and get them pottytrained. She doesn't have time to go to work, so she will have to find a rich guy soon to help her pay the bills.
Dina found her rich guy, in Mortimer, and gave him a little babygirl (Elisabeth) two hours before he died. He sure died happy. Alexander is now devasted, both of his parents gone/dead, he barely sees Cassandra and his new stepmother only has eyes for her own kid and Malcolm Landgraab.
At the Pleasant household, things aren't as hectic anymore. The twins left for college and Daniel managed to get Mary Sue knocked up before he left her for Kaylinn. Mary Sue didn't have to have her baby alone though. She fell in love and married Mr. Big. He adores both her and little Emma. They're thinking of having another little one.
Daniel didn't stay with Kaylinn for long. He stayed to watch her give birth to little Thomas (his first son) and then moved on with Florence della Rosa. They're happily married and expecting now.
Kaylinn is still a single mother, but she's very happy with just her son.
Darren Dreamer is currently dating Brandi Broke while their eldest sons are off to college. Beau, Skip Jr. and Sophie (daughter of Brandi and John Burb) are very excited to finally having a father figure around.
At the Burb house, things are going very smooth. John works in his garden all day long, while Jennifer is bringing in the big cash. Lucy minds her own business and is currently dating both Alexander Goth and Beau Broke (she's a romance Sim). She's going for Don Lothario when she grows up. Jennifer had two more babies (Katy and Jeff) after she saw John was really not happy. John had a short fling with Brandi Broke because he didn't get attention from his wife, but he stopped doing that when things were clearing up at the house and Jennifer became pregnant with Katy. He doens't know Brandi had his child.
That's about it I guess, a lot of soap opera going on in my town :p

Hokay.

Goths:
Dina married Mortimer, and became a surrogate mother to Alexander, and best friends with Cassandra. She then became pregnant with Mortimer's daughter (Lisa), and gave birth moments before Mortimer died of old age (at platinum aspiration). She's currently working as an architect, but will probably quit her job soon as she really doesn't need to work what with the fortune she inherited. Lisa's still just a baby, so no news from her.

Alexander is now a (really cute) teen, who autonomously developed a crush on the paper girl, and is best friends with Lucy Burb - although neither of them seem to want to move their relationship further; possibly because they're both so alike (bookish, knowledge Sims).

Cassandra didn't roll a want to marry Don, but did to WooHoo, so I had them WooHoo instead of wed, which resulted in a pregnancy: natural (!!) twins. For some reason, ever since, Cassie hasn't rolled any wants to do with Don - I'm assuming she's bored of him and/or it has something to do with Mortimer beating him up and driving him from the house after discovering he got his daughter pregnant. So, she now has two beautiful (surprisingly, with Don's genes) daughters: Clara and Ciara (I regret the names, as my eyesight's so bad I can't tell them apart) - is working her way up the science career track, hanging out with Dina, supporting Alexander and romancing Darren. Life is good for Cassie.

Brokes:
Brandi sold off a lot of unneeded furniture (pinball machine, mirror, art) to raise enough cash to get Beau through his toddler years, and look after new baby Billy. When Beau aged up, she took a job at the bottom of the culinary career track to keep the cash flowing - and managed to arrange her hours so that either she or Dustin would be at home to make sure Billy and Beau were looked after (it was easier than it sounds). Once Billy aged up, Brandi took a much needed break for herself and fell in love with Abhijeet, whom she met through Dustin and who has taken on the role of surrogate father willingly and brilliantly.

Dustin's still working the streets (hurr) to help his mum with the bills, though he really doesn't need to anymore - something tells me he's become hooked on a life of crime (which Angela seems to know, too, as she's avoiding him) - and is failing miserably at school, but still wants to go to college. He's not got long left, so I'm hoping his new dad can turn him around and get him some scholerships. He's still, supposedly, dating Angela - though they haven't seen each other in ages.

Beau grew into a gorgeous teen, is the complete opposite in that he's an A+ student, has maxed out the creativity skill and is constantly helping around the house, and setting a good impression for Billy. He's a bit of a looker, so has girls swooning over him constantly - but his heart was stolen by Lucy Burb (can we say "cutest couple ever?"), and those two are planning to move to college together asap.

Billy's still just a kid, his personality hasn't developed much yet - but he's a lovely little boy, with maximum nice points, and a knack for befriending every townie that wanders by.

They all still live in their little trailer, which has had a few extensions added to make room for the growing family.

Oldies:
Are dead.

Dreamers:
I haven't done anything with them, yet, besides the makeovers. They're my next stop, as I need to age Dirk up along with Dustin and Angela.

Pleasants:
Oh boy.

Lilith died. Just... died. Apparently she died from illness, but yeah - she just croaked it. Angela whooped and clapped, Mary-Sue shrugged and walked off, Daniel didn't even stop to see what was going on, and Dirk went into aspiration failure (he just HAD to be there, didn't he?).

Daniel hit the top of the athletic career path, and to celebrate - had a party. A party he invited Kaylynn to. A party his wife was home for. A disastrous party, in that Mary-Sue caught Daniel and Kaylynn kissing, broke up with Daniel, beat up Kaylynn and forced them out. Angela was very proud of her mother for this (she really hated her dad in my game), and those two have since become best friends. An easy way to fix the family? Break it up and kill 'em off. :D

Daniel is now an elder, living with Kaylynn and cheating on her with Ivy Copur. He's giving Don a run for his money...

Lothario/Caliente:
Since Dina married Mortimer, her relationship with Don started to decay - and eventually I decided to use Insim to reduce it to "just friends", to add realism. Don's not seen Cassandra since he got her pregnant, and has no idea he has two little girls - he might want to know, considering they are heirs to the Goth fortune... but with little Lisa around, they may not be getting as big a lump sum as he would hope.

Nina, bless her, is head-over-heels for Don and is desperate to marry (gotta love secondary aspirations) him. He's not too keen on the idea, and still has the hots for Kaylynn. I'm not sure what's going to happen there - but I may move Nina in with Don just to free up some neighbourhood space.

Burbs:
My perfect family.

Jennifer really didn't strike me as a business woman, and started dancing as soon as she moved in - so I had her take a job in the dance career, which she's thriving in. Instead, John is the business man of the house, and is also thriving in his career. These two are so adorable together, when they're not working - all they do is kiss and cuddle.

Lucy's an A+ student, with a love of film and literature - and is desperate to go to college (but she'll have to wait, as Dustin, Dirk and Angela have to go through it first).

I believe I have 6 Pleasantviews (and one Weivtnasaelp). I can hardly keep track of them all, so I won't even try. One thing that's common to all of them is that I marry the pre-mades to other pre-mades instead of my CAS Sims.

First thing I did when I loaded up the game (I just installed all the stuff packs and The Sims 2 Deluxe for a start, then I figured I'd install everything else) was load up the Broke household.

Brokes

First of all, I taught Beau all I could before Brandi went into her crabby pregnant Simmie mode. Then she went and had Jasper. I had her meet a sim after that through the matchmaker and it happened to be Benjamin Long. They hit it off immediately and after a bit of cheating, I moved them all into the biggest house that comes with Nightlife. There she got pregnant AGAIN and had Devin, who's now a toddler, and Sal right after that who is still an infant.

Dustin left the house with overachiever status and went to go marry Angela Pleasant. They had a great wedding. Beau is a teenager, and he turned out to like guys better than girls! Jasper's a child still.

Pleasants

I had loooots of fun here. :evilnod:

I had Daniel cheat on Mary Sue, who proceeded to kick him out of the house. I then moved him up to that little shack and let him rot away with no appliances or anything else...

Then I went back to the original household where Mary Sue and Lillith died in an unfortunate fire. Angela raised herself, grew up into an adult, and went and married Dustin. They had a boy, who's now a teenager and named Greg.

Nobody else has been touched yet.

Since I've installed the big mega merged hood I've just started playing Pleasantview again. So far I played the Pleasant's. I moved them into one of the houses that came with Teen Style Stuff cause the two bedrooms for teens were perfect for Lillith and Angela. I had Daniel knock Mary Sue up and she had twins a boy and girl. I named them Coral and Devin. At some point I had Daniel move Kaylynn in while Mary Sue was out, knock her up then I moved her out into a little one bedroom house. She had a daughter whose name I can't recall.

Right now Dina is carrying on an affair with Checo Ramirez and I think I'm going to get them together. Don't know what to do with his wife and daughter though.

Don has been carrying on flings with about 5-6 women now. But he moved in this pretty bartender my game generated after I installed default face replacements. Her name is Aurora. I had Cassandra catch them cheating so she broke up with him. She wanted a child so bad I had her adopt a toddler. Elise Goth is such a cute little tot. Can't wait to see what she looks like when she grows up. The person who made the merged hood had the Strangetown Bella fixed to show relationships to the other Goths so Mortimer married her and moved her in. I had Cassandra move out to a new house with Darren and Dirk Dreamer. Dirk is already acting as a loving older brother to Elise. And of course I'll have to have Darren and Cassandra have children once I get them married.

Nina Caliente has still been getting with Don every chance they get, that may slack off since he has Aurora now. I think I'm going to mate her up with Nervous Subject :) They're already friends now.

From Memor; Mortimer Goth got BOTH Dina and Nina Caliente pregnant with twins. Brandi Broke married and Divorced John Burb, Daniel pleasant, and Mortimer Goth. Don Lothario came out of the closet and joined with that Male Maid, Remy (breaking off his engagement to Cassandra). Cassandra got married to Darren Dreamer, and had six kids - go figure.

Needless to say - there's a few more of the Goth Tribe floating round in pleasantview these days. Not that I ever play it.

I think Brandi is on the verge of marrying that farmer guy from Riverblossom Hills the guy in a kilt. I can see them together. I got inspired to redo the Broke house after seeing the wonderful Maxis home makeovers in the contest section. So I redone the house. He'll probably move in there and I'll plant him a garden somewhere on the lot and put in a pond. Or either leave Dustin in the old Broke house and let Brandi move to Riverblossom Hills.

Soroka_SC

21st Apr 2008, 04:50 AM

I love Pleasantview-this is the only Maxis made 'hood that I play.

Goths: Everyone's moved out of the original house except Cassandra, who is still avaiting her wedding with Don. Mortimer met Priya Ramaswami(sp?), fell in a very chemical love,(perhaps because she resembles Bella a bit...with that black hair and brown eyes) and moved in with her. Alexander moved with him; he is now a freshman in Sim State University and is engaged to Lucy Burb(who is pure evil in my game).

Burbs:Moved in. Both Jennifer and John are working to achieve their LTWs in the choosen carier fields. Jenny had 3 more children besides Lucy: Shannon, Lenny and Benny (all girls). Lucy grew up to be a Knowledge sim and discovered her huge attraction to vampirism(though she fears to be turned into one, but she'd love that fate for her boyfriend Alex Goth). She is the one responsible for setting off the downtown vamps on a blood rampage.Her younger (not by much...aged up with Insim heh) sister Shannon is her sidekick and accompanies her at all times. Lucy and Shannon are now freshmen is Sim State Uni. Lenny and Benny just grew into children.

Pleasants: Daniel decided that he had enough of the Kaylyn scandal and ditched the girl. Shortly following that, Mary-Sue, being in a very good mood, drunk some funky green liquid from a certain bottle... it caused her to become just young enough to carry her's and Daniel's third child-James. Shorly after his birth she, while being pregs again, with 4th child, was wonderfully, absolutely cheat-free abducted by aliens...after which there just HAD to be a switch between Daniel's baby growing in her womb and a little green spawn. Her alien daughet Yavanna is growing up to be quite pretty (by alien standards). Mary-Sue perished from hunger very shortly after the birth (just couldn't make it to the fridge on time, the kids weren't at home and Daniel was still in low relationship from Kaylyn cheating...he failed to save her from Grimmy). Daniel grew into a very depressed elder soon after. He then been turned into a vampire while playing pocker downtown. (Lucy's influence is to blame), and that's how he is now. The Oldies moved in with them to take care of their younger kids at this point...but Mary-Sue's ghost had an issue with them for some reason, maybe she wanted her parents near heror something...Carol died of fright and Herb died of hunger shortly after being spooked half dead.
Angela and Lilith both grew up. Angela married Dustin and moved out; they had a daughter named Belladonna. Lilith had Dirk Dreamer move in, they got married and had a daughter named Maria.(She has been vamped by Daniel when she was a teen), The twins' kids absolutely can't stand each other eventhough they are now both in college. Angela is a stay-home mom and Dustin is the current local Criminal Mastermind. Lilith is in...whatever career field(really can't place her right now); Dirk Dreamer is following in his father's footprints to become Captain Hero. Dirk and Dustin and still the bestest buddies ever.

Brokes: Brandi met Darren Dreamer, who turned out to have three bolts for her. (Darren and Cassandra turned out to have no chemical attraction to each other whatsoever). Brandi took Beau and Tommy(her third child) and moved in with Darren. The wedding shortly followed. They had two boys together (In my game, Brandi seems incapable of producing anything but boys). Brandi then cheated on Darren with the unresistable Don Lothario and had...another boy, whom Darren always treated as his own. She has been perfectly faithful since. All their kids are now teens, Beau is getting ready for college. Darren is on top of the Law Enforcement career, and Brandi...hehehe...is studying to become a Criminal Mastermind.

Lothario: Don is on an epic quest to never marry until he sleeps with every single eligible female in the neighborhood and fathers a child with each. Nina, Dina, Brandi, and Angela are already under his belt. He is currently working on Jennifer Burb, but they have negative chemistry in my game...so it's not going to happen. Jenny does want her golden anniversery with John after all. Don still lives alone, but he firmly decided that after his quest is complete (or right about to be completed) he will marry Cassandra Goth and spend the remaining of his life with her.

Caliente: The sisters have split up after they discovered that Don cheated with both of them. Dina abandoned hers and Don's baby Idalgo in Nina's care and ran away to live unburdened on her own and to start her own business...she failed miserably in both. She in now broke and lives alone with her three kids whom she had with Sanjay Ramaswami(Priya's ex-hubby), who left her at the altar. She has breakdowns all the time.
Nina, though romance, turned out to be an excellent mother. She reared her three kids to teenagehood- the twins Halas and Sebastian whom she had with Don, and Dina's abandoned son Idalgo. Along the way she became a sort of a black widow of the hood...she would move in townies for their money, marry them, and then kill them off...so far she has two graves on her lot and another set of twins-the hideous daughters Grenada and Flan (it was a custom-made townie, go figure) Both girls are also in their teens and are romantically involved with two of Brandi's and Darren's boys(it's hard to tell which, too dang many of them). Sebastian befriended the leader of the pack back when he was still a toddler (!!!), wolves loved him through all his life stages...needless to say, he is now a werewolf. The whole set of kids is getting ready to go to college, Nina is on top of the military career.

Kaylyn Langerak(sp?): Kaylyn, a very shady character who's a boring old family aspiration but who for some reason doesn't mind being involved with several men at a time, has settled down for a fellow maid, Remington Harris. She has a daughter, Tamara, from Don, and three more kids, Hudson, Darigan and Dorothy, with Remington. They all live together as a big happy family and merrily tend their fields and orchard all day long...not really. Tamara is now an adult in the military, she never went to college. The twins Hudson and Darigan are freshmen in college, and Dorothy is a child, she helps the parents with their work at home. Kay is on top of her LTW career choice(don't remember which), so she quit her job and stays at home to work on her farm. Remi still tries to get to the top of the Education carrier.

Then Angela needed some help raising 2 so she met my sim Clarice Powell and asked her to be the nanny. Then Clarice met Don.. and they got together... and now she's pregnant with Don's baby. Angela the married her love, Dustin Broke and they are now expecting. Lilith married Dirk Dreamer and they have 2 kids... Taylor Grace and Tanner. And Don has 10 kids... with many diffrent women.

22nd Apr 2008, 04:40 PM

Well, Daniel is retired and Mary-Sue will never get her lifetime want. Since they don't like Lilith or Dustin, I had them have another child to inherit. His name is Caleb and he's still a child.

Mortimer died, leaving his teenage son alone to fend for himself. Well, until his mother miraculously reappeared. She doesn't remember everything that happened while she was gone, but she's enjoying being with her family again. Alexander has gone off to Sim State now, where his girlfriend Lucy will be joining him shortly. He wishes to be a mad scientist like his father.

Darren and Cassandra are married now and have a little girl, Christine. Darren is working on his LTW to be a Mad Scientist and is an elder, now. He still has a spectacular relationship with his son, Dirk, who has just graduated Uni. Cassandra also has a good relationship with Dirk. Dirk is waiting for his true love, Lilith to graduate, and then they'll get engaged and marry. He's going the Athletic route and Lilith, amazingly, wishes to be a captain hero. He doesn't have much of a relationship with his little sister - they just never hit it off (she was still a toddler when he left home). She does call him occasionally. Cassandra is also on the Science track and is planning an anniversary party that she's sure will keep her happy for the rest of her days.

Dina has moved out of her sister's place. She never did get to marry Mortimer. No interest in Don anymore, though. She's working her way up the athletic track, and is expecting a baby any day now. Amin is her lover, and they really do need to get married.

Nina wants 20 simultaneous lovers and that will never happen (I am working on it, though). She's expecting Don's baby.

Herb and Coral have departed the earthly plane.

Jennifer recently became a business tycoon, fulfilling her LTW. John wants a golden anniversary, so he's going to be a few days. He is happy however, that they are expecting another baby. Jennifer isn't showing yet, though. Lucy will go to college soon. She's a popularity sim with a LTW of Celebrity Chef. She made friends with Marsha, so I had to grow up Marsha into a family sim (based on comment from story that she just wanted a family and that's why she sought people out - truthfully though, she's never been a problem for me).

And Marsha hit if off with Beau Broke, so will be going to college with him when he eventually leaves. He's a knowledge sim who wants to master all skills. Dustin is in college now, and will graduate tomorrow with Angela. They'll get engaged soon after. Both of them want to top the Athletic track. Dustin was a better big brother than Beau, I think,and still has pretty good relationships with his brothers (mid-40s), considering I haven't had them communicate since he started college. Angel and Lilith aren't enemies anymore. Joey is a family sim, like his mom. Speaking of Brandi, she's working her way up the law enforcement track, slowly but surely.

Don's about to be a dad, as I said before, but he doesn't know it yet. He's having a lot of trouble finding women he has chemistry with. Non-playable ones, anyway. He's actually working on his skills a bit right now, trying to get promoted. So he can have more free time for . . .other pursuits.

Well, I just restarted my pleasantview characters, and all I really played were the Pleasants, Angela got pwnt by risky woohoo, which I actually planned -evil grin- but then Lilith ran away, and when she came back I heard the freaking lullaby tune and so now I'm just banging my head against my desk and cursing the Risky Runaway hack.

30th Apr 2008, 08:24 AM

I've been having crazy fun with the Pleasantview characters lately!

The Goths
Cassandra Goth was humiliated at her wedding party when Don left her at the altar. She was devastated and got a visit from the social bunny, but then Darren Dreamer was right there to help her get through it. In the process of getting over her grief, Cassandra fell in love with Darren.

The Pleasants
Things weren't so happy over at the Pleasants. Mary Sue caught Daniel with Kaylynn, but with some smooth talking he managed to patch things up. His relationship with both women has been up and down, but I like him and Mary Sue together. They have this passionate love/hate thing going on where they roll want after want about each other yet keep getting in fights. Finally, things got better for them and Daniel decided to pay off Kaylynn so she'd keep quiet about their affair and stop vandalizing his house. Mary Sue fired her shortly after, and things are much better for their relationship now that they have an unattractive male maid.
However, it hasn't been so great for Lilith. She ran away three times, and I guess third time's not such a charm, because she came back pregnant. Each time the police brought her back, Daniel came running up to her to apologize, but neither of his daughters have forgiven him for his affair with Kaylynn. Lilith didn't want to raise her child in such a hostile environment, so when she found out she was pregnant she moved out. That brings us to...

The Dreamers
Dirk is the one who got Lilith pregnant, so he didn't hesitate to let her move in with him. When Lilith got there, it was like she became a different person. She developed a love of cooking, became friends with Darren, and even started doing Dirk's homework when he got too tired. She never did go back to school, though. Her grades were awful anyway, so I guess she gave up. Things were really starting to look good: Lilith had little baby Carey, Darren helped the teens care for their daughter, and Dirk fell even more in love with Lilith. Darren even got engaged to Cassandra. I guess Darleen Dreamer was less forgiving about teenage pregnancy, because her ghost kept raging about baby Carey, and she then went on a murderous rampage.
Dirk saved Lilith from death three times (!!) in a row because Darleen kept scaring her. He had just gotten back into bed when Darleen turned her attention to Darren, and he just couldn't get there fast enough. That was the end of Darren, and the two teens were left to care for their baby alone.

Back to the Goths...
Mortimer's engaged to Dina, but his first wedding party was such a disaster (ghosts, once again) that Dina refused to marry him. He tried again the next night, and everything was spectacular.
However, when Darren died, Cassandra fell to pieces. After a visit from the psychiatrist, she came back with a new single-minded goal: get a genie lamp and bring Darren back. She rebuilt the third floor of the house into a tinkering lab and worked on her skills day and night, barely sleeping. She was so distracted she didn't even cry when Mortimer died of old age or notice when Alexander became a teen. She finally moved out to avoid distraction and got the lamp.
Now Darren and Cassandra are living in a nice little house and just got married. I think I might move them back into Darren's old house because it's bigger and they'll probably have a large family. Then I'll move Lilith, Dirk and Carey to a little trailer house where they can raise their daughter and learn to be independent.

Most of what happened was me working with autonomous interactions. I tried to follow the EAxis story as closely as possible, but I never imagined it would turn out so crazy. Any suggestions on what to do with Kaylynn? She's been used and abused by Daniel and Don, both of whom she's caught in the arms of another man. I'm thinking of marrying her off to some sweet, quiet old geezer who just wants a family and will treat her with respect, but I dunno.

I've only just started playing Pleasantview! I went off and made my own hoods, and have just gone back, I really like the characters and back stories though!
Yesterday I played the Pleasants for the first time, the girls went off to school, Mary-Sue went to work and Daniel conveniently had the day off and the house to himself! Of course Ms Langeraak came to clean the house, they ended up in bed together. But then Mary-Sue got a chance card at her job, I picked the wrong answer and she got fired and came home early...So yeah, she walked in on them woohoo-ing, attacked Daniel, and attacked Kaylynn and then broke up with Daniel, so he moved out!
The twins came back from school and started fighting again...

Mary-Sue always gets fired. It doesn't seem to matter which option you pick.

Well actually when I played with the Pleasant household, Mary-Sue only got demoted. Which is weird because when I checked Snooty Sims, the option I picked should've gotten her fired. :confused: But yeah Mary-Sue always gets the bad outcome with that chance card.

Anyway, for awhile I didn't do anything too special. Then some bored and easily amused creator *wink, wink* decided that Pleasantview needed a big baby boom.

Goth/Dreamer/Caliente: Cassandra got left at the altar but eventually bounced back, moved in with, and married Darren. Dirk left for college and is currently sharing a private housing turned Greek House with Lilith, Angela, and Dustin. Dirk and Lilith are currently engaged. Darren and Cassandra recently had a baby girl named Sadie.

Mortimer married Dina and had twin boys, James and Oliver. Dina is currently carrying another child, who is also Mortimer's. Because I wanted Mortimer to last longer and I didn't want to keep using Elixir of Life, I decided to de-age him. Alexander grew into a teen and became a knowlege sim, he's currently going steady with a townie girl named Tori Garth that he met through the Gypsy matchmaker. Nina stayed at the old home, got a job in the athletic career track, and is enjoying the life of a sexy single gal. But I decided to have some fun and she ended up becoming pregnant with Don's child. She gave birth to a baby girl named Mari.

Pleasant: I was actually able to keep Daniel and Kaylynn's affair a secret. Eventually I gave Mary-Sue a make-over and I changed Daniel's aspiration to fortune. Before Angela and Lillith left for college, Mary-Sue had a third child, a son named Charlie.

Broke: Beau grew up well, Dustin quit his criminal job so that he could focus on a career in medicine (Chief of Staff is his lifetime want). Brandi gave birth to her third son, an adorable black haired boy named Neil. Eventually Brandi met with a CAS sim of mine named Terry Rence and I had the two married (Terry took the Broke name). Well admittedly I did cheat a little to give the Brokes more money to buy a nicer house but no real harm done, besides more room for a bigger family! =D Beau became a teen and knowledge sim with the max all skills LTW, he's currently going steady with Lucy Burb. Terry and Brandi recently had a daughter named Jessie.

Lothario: After leaving poor Cassie at the altar, Don went back to enjoying the bachelor lifestyle. He currently has four or five lovers and he got a job in the Slacker track. However one faithful night, Don got abducted and of course came back preggers. He gave birth to a girl named Cherie.

Burb: I decided to have John be a stay-at-home father, Jennifer got a job in the military, I can't remember what level she's on right now. John and Jennifer had a son named Leon and Lucy became a teen family sim, as mentioned earlier, she's going steady with Beau Broke.

Oldies: At first I moved them in with the Pleasants but with Charlie on the way at the time, I decided it was time for them to find their own home. So they did and I decided to de-age them at their new home.

I love Pleasantview!

Unfortunatly I haven't done that much to the main characters as I've had to restart the game about 4 times in a month, and I've had exams recently too :(

Anyway, I did make a custom family which is fitting in pretty well.

The Dalston Family
Azura Dalston is my custom sim, and I moved her into a Maxis house and brought her a cat, Sheba, with the intention of starting a legacy-type thing with her cat as well as herself. Anyway, she made good friends with Darren Dreamer and they're both really attracted to each other - but I want to get Darren married to Cassandra if she gets left at the alter by Don.

Anyway, Azura got a job in the medical career and all was going well. BUT, then she met Brandon, a suit-wearing NPC sim. They were attracted to each other so I let the relationship blossom and they got married. Brandon had between 70-80 items in his inventory (woah!) so they sold all that for over $50,000 and moved out to a biggish house, which was good as Brandon is a Hall of Famer so they should have a big house. They had a kid a few days after getting married - Claudia. Not long after Claudia's birth, Brandon brought Azura a cat as a wedding present - a male and I can't remember the cat's name.

When Claudia was halfway through toddler stage, they had another daughter; I think her name was Gladys or Gwendoline. Can't remember. However, by now their personalities had started to clash; Brandon is a quiet, serious business-like bloke and Azura is a outgoing, care-free gal. They had a few arguments and Brandon started to date Azura's best friend, while Azura in turn has started to date a guy from her work. At about this time I realised that Sheba, Azura's original cat hated the cat Brandon brought so I got the male adopted and brought a kitten which is now a male cat, which thankfully Sheba likes so I can maybe breed them together.

Neither Azura's or Brandon's affair has become serious - yet...

I love the characters in Pleasantview, I moved them all (along with my favourites from Strangetown) into my own custom neighbourhood to bring them all together.
Because I'm not too keen on some of the names that Maxis gave the sims, I often rename them with names that are in someway similiar (same beginning letter....etc) but prettier and more unique.

The Calientes
Nevea and Dia Caliente have moved out of Pleasantview and continue to live together in a Studio Flat in Green Forrest. They've both decided its time to have a complete soul make over and move on from their money grabbing, promiscuous pasts. A passionate relationship between Dia and Lazlo Curious resulted in a beautiful baby girl called Topaz, who is now a laid-back, out going, extremely kind teenager, house sharing with other students and following her dream of working in politics. Dia and Lazlo decided to go their seperate ways as Lazlo continued to venture and be true to his curious nature, they parted on good terms and are close friends. Since then Dia has traded in her tacky clothes and shameless greed for a new peace loving, bohemian style, dedicating her life to friends and family and hoping to get a job in the Culinary workline. Nevea is now pursueing knowledge, is in love with art and design, following the Artist Career path. They would both love to find the right person but do not feel any need to rush, and are willing to wait for true unconditional love before making any further plans for a family. They spent their freetime playing the piano, painting, keep journals and listening to music.

The Pleasants
Autumn and Delilah Pleasant (previously known as Angela and Lillith) now live in Green Forrest and are planning to house share with other students in the area. A special Modern Housing Project intending to give older school students a friendly, affordable living enviroment once they feel ready to leave home has brought along several houses with 4 vacancies to each building. Autumn is planning to move in with Meadow Thayer, Lilac Burb and Russell Broke and would like to become a performer of the arts. Delilah is currently undecided about her future and has not applied for the house sharing program just yet.

The Goths
After being deeply hurt by Don Lothario, Cassandra Goth has decided its time for a new colourful and bright outlook on life. One day she packed up her belongings, said goodbye to her father and Alex and has rented out a little cottage in Green Forrest. Shes thrown out her dark black clothes, wiped away her black lips, grown her bunched hair and invested in a collection of sparkly contact lenses. Recently shes been thinking non stop about Pascal Curious, they constantly chat online, call each other and she often invites him round, where they spend hours star gazing, watching films, having long indepth conversations and playing the piano for each other, it looks like love.

Meadow Thayer
Meadow absolutely adores children, and dreams of one day opening her own Childrens Home to give little ones a safe, caring enviroment to grow up in. She is currently planning on moving into one of the Modern Housing Project buildings along with 1 or 2 other students. She would like to give up full-time schooling for Night School (Monday to Thursday, 4pm till 8pm) to allow her to dedicate her days to studying cooking, cleaning, practicing her creativity and becoming fully equip for all the challenges that caring and nuturing several children will present. While setting up her childrens home, she would like to work as a teacher, to help with funding and to gain experience working with children.

India Copur
India Copur (previously Ivy Copur the teenager) wants to become a surfing icon. Shes currently looking to rent her own student apartment, and spend as much time as possible swimming, working out, building up her charisma and creativity. She loves fashion and is hoping to design her own clothing label called "India Coast". Her striking, unusual features and bubbly personality has gotten her an audition with a local modelling agency as the new face of Teen Surf Magazine. She is very happy with her life and would one day love to find a boy with a shared passion for surfing to share it with :)

Goth
Cassandra married Don who promptly started an affair with her resurrected mother, Bella. Cassandra caught them making out in the hall and moved out. Mortimer has no idea what is going on and has recently struck up a friendship with Coral Oldie whose husband, Herb, died in a house fire.

Pleasant
Mary-Sue caught Daniel with Kaylynn and threw him out of the house. Her BFF Cassandra moved in and the two of them started a crafts store together. Don and Daniel stalk the two of them and are constantly walking into the house. Cassandra divorced Don in the front yard.

Burb
Daniel and Kaylynn moved in with Jennifer, John, and Lucy so they can save up for a house of their own. Kaylynn and John have three bolts of chemistry for each other and have recently begun an affair. Daniel seduced Cassandra. Jennifer is oblivious.

Gieke/Broke
Chester became best friends with Don and aspired to be just like him. He started dating all of Don's ex-girlfriends but fell madly in love with Brandi Broke. At their wedding, I foolishly invited Don and all of the mutual girlfriends so after the bride and groom kissed, disaster struck with everybody smacking everybody around. Brandi divorced Chester in the front yard after Chester fell in love with and started making out with Don. Chester then autonomously used the telescope and was abducted.

Oldie
Herb died in a house fire. Coral writes children's books and has a friendship with Mortimer Goth.

Caliente/Landgraab
Dina is currently wooing Malcolm Landgraab IV but his eye is on Nina. Nina has three bolts with Don and wants Bela Goth (and pretty much every person at that disaster of a wedding party) dead.

24th May 2008, 09:41 PM

I've had a wedding party on my game which went like that. In a previous game, one of Alexander Goth's sons Lombard was getting married to one of Nina and Don's children, (who was just like Nina and Don but 10 times as worse as she had almost 10 people in love with her at one time). Of course I didn't pay attention when I did the invite list and it was a disaster. Slapping and fighting everywhere. Not including the fights over Lombard; he had another 3 people in love with him at that time.

This is the first time i have posted on a thread like this.

I have restarted my Pleasantview:

Goth

Cassandra was left at the alter by Don. She later started an affair with both Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant before being caught by Mary-Sue. She gave birth to Thomas (now a toddler) soon after moving in with Daniel. They are currently engaged and have just adopted a little girl called Katherine.

Mortimer adopted a little girl named Brenda (who is adorable, now a child). Soon after he met a women named Daisy, a family sim, who he quickly fell for. She has now moved in and they have married. Daisy and the kids get on well although Cassandra is not too fond of her. Alex has grown into a teen and is an overachiever. Daisy has recently given birth to a boy named William. They also got two cats – Jet and Spartan.

Pleasant

Mary-Sue didn’t catch Daniel with the maid and for a while it was all perfect. Lilith and Angela had gone to uni and it was just the two of them. Until Mary-Sue became pregnant. Both Daniel and Mary-sue began to fool around with Cassandra until Mary-Sue caught Daniel and Cassie. Mary-Sue gave birth to Oliver and then left. She is now living in a small house with her three cats. Cassandra moved in, had Thomas, adopted Katherine and is pregnant again and in the process of adopting again.

Angela moved into a dorm with boyfriend Dustin. Graduated with a 4.0 and is currently living in a median sized house with husband, Dustin, works as a natural scientist, and is expecting her first child.

Lilith completely changed her life around. At university she spent her time gaining skills and even managed to fulfil her lifetime want of maxing all skills. She is a successful novel writer and managed to buy a place of her own at uni with the profits. She graduated with a 4.0 and is now living in a large house with husband Robi (the exterminator). She is an icon after reaching the top of the show business career track and Robi is a director. They are expecting their first child and are looking to adopt.

Dreamer

Darren kept working as an artist and after loosing Cassandra again he became downhearted. So he took a vacation where he met Viola. They are now married and have recently had a baby girl named Lily. Darren got abducted by aliens and is expecting a child, although he doesn’t know it yet. Viola is also pregnant.

Dirk didn’t go to university as he fell in love with Brandi he is now living with her.

Broke

Dustin quickly moved to university to give His mam more space. Brandi gave birth to twins (cheesecake), Tobias and Michael (toddlers). She then met Dirk and they quickly fell in love. He has now moved in and they have just welcomed Brandi’s fifth son Corey into the family.

Dustin moved to uni with Angela and graduated with a GPA of 3.7. He is married to Angela and works as a surgeon. They are expecting their first child.

Lothario

Don left Cassie and the alter and is continuing to fool around and he has dog, called Otis

Caliente

Nina became pregnant with Dons baby and had Katrina. Don wanted nothing to do with the baby but that didn’t stop him from woohooing Nina at any given opportunity this resulted in Christiano. Nina however couldn’t cope and later left the children on Dina’s doorstep.

Nina invited Don round and they got caught by Dina. Dina was devastated so she went on a vacation where she med Jim, a local at Twikki. They fell head over heals and married while still on holiday. They moved into a smallish house and Dina gave birth to Carla. They bought a cat named Felix and a Newfoundland dog named Mollie. Dina found her niece and nephew on her doorstep with a note and is now raising them.

What did you do with Mortimer, Dina, Nina, Don, Darren, and the rest? Tell us every little detail of what happened with the Maxis premade characters in Pleasantview in your game.

Right now, I'm focusing on Lilith and Dirk. Lilith just grew up into an adult and is living by herself right across from adult Dirk, who just moved in. He's working part-time as a paramedic while attending medical school. He's planning on proposing to Lilith any day now...

AelTheSim

31st May 2008, 04:25 PM

Well...I went more for the soap opera part of Pleasantview, instead of fixing things.

Cassandra, Don, Dina and Mortimer all lived in the Goth home, Cassandra had a boy and Dina had a girl, both are toddlers now. Mortimer passed away, but his death was peaceful and expected. Cassandra is pregnant again but Don is still woohooing everyone, including his deceased father-in-law's wife.

Nina also had a child by Don, a son, and he's very artsy and quiet. He's almost a teenager and spends most of the time while his mom at his work painting. Nina still lives in the same house and works hard but money is still tight. Don sometimes sends her money for their son but not very often.

Um. Darren is still an artist, barely scraping by. When Derek still lived with him, he helped by getting a job as a businessman but finally he left for college when Lillith did. Darren and Cassandra kissed, once, when he was painting her but she's faithful to Don and her family, even if she is regretting her hasty decision to marry Don.

Angela, Lillith, Derek, Alexander Goth, Dustin Broke and Stella (an alien in the Desert Uni) all moved into the same dorm. Lillith and Derek had a baby before moving to college, she named him Lucifer in a moment of teen angst but has since changed a lot. She and Derek plan on getting married and having a family. Angela, on the other hand, had a miscarriage while at college because of the stress and is really going through a hard time. (read: aspiration failure that won't go away) Dustin tries to support her but he's not exactly a genius with emotions. Stella and Alexander Goth are in love.

Lucifer Pleasant lives with his grandparents, who hate each other and aren't really attached to him, preferring to hand him over to a nanny. Mary-Sue kinda discovered that she doesn't like guys, at all, not just her good-for-nothing, cheating husband. Daniel still likes his maids, although Kaylynn drowned in their pool after they were discovered by Mary-Sue. Neither Angel nor Lillith spend much time with their parents, except to play with Lucifer.

Brandi Broke couldn't find the right job for her, instead she opened a hair salon in her home and at night, well, a lot of guys hang around. (told you, soap opera) Beau and Butch (third son) still live with her. (I was surprised but Brandi is kinda pretty with the right hair and stuff)

The Burbs moved into a huge house and uh...are sitting there.

Goth

Cassandra who was a close friend of Mary-Sue helped her cope with the loss of her husband Daniel and her wonderful maid Kaylynn. In return they got married and adopted a little girl named Lisa. ( Don and Brandi's daughter. She was actually the youngest and she got taken away because they woohooed all the time and never fed her. )

Mortimer on the other hand Married Dina and had two sons, Leon and Drew. Leon is in college and Drew dropped out and died in Brandi's pool. They had an open marriage. Mortimer slept with Nina while Dina slept with Alexander who now has a daughter, Evangeline, with Dina.

Alexander never married, but he is visited often by Dina. They now have a beautiful daughter who is now a child.

Lothario

Don lost his power over women, but managed to woo the lovely Brandi. They are married now and have seven children together. Don unfortunately died of satellite.

1 Lacy
2 Berkley
3 Banjo
4 Lola
5 Ben
6 Lisa
7 Lauren

Broke

Dustin lost Angela's heart and lived in that trailer until I decided to kill him same with Beau and his other brother Boris. (I don't like them much)

Pleasant

Mary-Sue found out about Daniel and Kaylynn and decided to get revenge. She poisoned their drinks and dumped them in their pool. ( I just let them drown ) Cassandra comforted her, as Mary-Sue likes to say, "In many ways especially in the bed chambers."

Angela gave Alex a chance and it didn't work out for them. She ended up marrying Benjamin Long and they had one child. I named him Loooooo. Loooooo died in an elavator and his parents died of old age. ( For some reason he was not in the family tree )

Lillith married Dirk but she starved herself after the birth of her only son, Julian. Dirk was heart broken and never married again. Julian became friends with Loooooo and they decided to behave dangerously by playing in the elavator and they both died tragically.

Dreamer

Darren grew old and loved his grandson Julian. After the death of Julian he died and I actually cried. It was really sad.

Dirk also died after the death of his father, son, and wife. He cried all the time and he truly had a miserable life. He lived a very short life. I feel that he is happier now in Sim Heaven.

I haven't played much in Pleasantwiev yet because I reinstalled my game yesterday. These are the things I've done:

Angela and Lillith Pleasant are now friends, and I did a makeover on both of them. I changed Lilliths makeup and Angela got a new hairstyle.
Brandi Broke had twins(!) named Sakarias and Elliot.

The Divine Miss B.

8th Jun 2008, 07:07 PM

I reinstalled the game a few weeks ago, so right now:

Pleasant: Not so pleasant, LOL. Angela ate spoilt food at the Brokes and is puking constantly. Mary Sue got fired, and comes home to find Daniel having a post-WooHoo cigarette with Kaylynn (OK, maybe not :D). They break up, the girls cry for hours on end. Mary finds a job in the Criminal career track. I did manage to get Angela and Lilith friendly.

Lothario: Don had WooHoo with 4 people - and now I'm trying to get him to do Nina or Dina in public.

Caliente: Bah humbug. They bore me, so I don't play much with them.

Broke: Tee-hee, I love my little trailer trash to pieces :valentine: Brandi had her baby and named him Jack. Dustin still fools around with Angela Pleasant and is a Pickpocket. I'm trying to send him into college. Beau loves to read, but has a D- report card. Brandi wants to fall in love and I want to her to marry a (preferably rich!) sim so I sent her to the community lot to pick up guys. Since it was nighttime, there were very few people so she ended up talking to the cashiers, Garrett and George (?). She invited Garrett over, but it didn't flow along very well (the Flirt option didn't even appear). I'm setting my eyes on either Brandon Lillard or Mortimer Goth. Can Elders make babies? (Oh, and I'm totally calling the baby Britni if it's a girl :smash: )

10th Jun 2008, 01:45 AM

Pleasants

Mary-Sue had the worst day of her life when she got demoted at work then came home to find Daniel and the maid in bed. After she got into a fight with the maid and lost, Mary-Sue broke up with Daniel and kicked him out of the house while Lilith and Angela watched in horror. Angela and Lilith maintained a strained relationship with their father as he kept dropping by to kick over the trashcan.

Mary-Sue worked on her relationship with her daughters, and the sisters actually started being nice to each other.

Mary-Sue became quite lonely after the break-up, so she called the Matchmaker and paid five grand to hook her up with Cory Wren, a rich sim. She soon became the mayor, and impressed Cory with her helicopter. Cory and Mary-Sue married. They have twins Sunny and Junior.

After a lovely evening wedding at the old Pleasant home Angela and Dustin moved out and had a daughter Natalie. Angela is working at a fast food joint while Dustin is now a respectable businessman.

Lilith married Dirk Dreamer.

Goth

Mortimer meets all the new neighbors by chastising them for using their telescopes. He and Alexander get along fairly well, but they keep to themselves since Cassandra moved out.

Cassandra broke up with Don and married Darren. Don attended the wedding at the Goth family home.

Lothario

After running away from the "party" that looked too much like a set-up at the Goth house, Don stupidly invited Dina/Nina (I can't tell them apart) and Cassandra over for a hot tub party. After setting dinner on fire he needed some comfort, so Don cuddled Dina/Nina in the hot tub and Cassandra caught them. Cassandra broke off the engagement immediately. The Goth house had their trashcan knocked over for a few days.

Don is now maintaining relationships with five or six sims, including Tubby Tubbs. he accidentally proposed to one of my other romance sims, but they have no plans to marry.

Dreamer

Darren married Cassandra and moved into a nicer/bigger house. Darren left the old house to Dirk where he continued to woo Lilith (making out with her on a nightly basis) until they married as adults. No one in the neighborhood seems to like Dirk, but they put up with him because Lilith is so popular.

Broke (my favorite fam)

After discovering she was pregnant, Brandi implored Dustin to turn himself around. Dustin accepting the role of man of the house got a job in business and became an overachiever while wooing Angela Pleasant. Dustin hated that he never owned a car as a teenager and bought two as an adult.

Beau Broke managed to grow up well under the careful guidance of Brandi and eventually got a girlfriend (a family sim I created, Taryn Reynolds). He maxed out many of his skills and married Taryn took her name and became a doctor. The couple built their house from the ground up and have twins.

Christophe (Brandi and Skip's last baby) is going steady with Taryn's sister, Maita.

After Dustin left the nest, Brandi decided to pick herself up by the bootstraps and get a job as a cop, so she got in shape. She desperately wanted to get married and after a failed flirtation with a co-worker she called the Matchmaker and shelled out the big simoleons.. She hit it off on a blind date with a Townie named Gavin, but he wasn't serious enough. After 3 dream dates and no proposal in sight, Brandi called the Matchmaker again. She paid less money and met a Bruty bro in the Slacker career who moved in and married her within a few days. They are still in the trailer, but they are happy.

10th Jun 2008, 02:17 AM

I just restarted my game, and so far I've only played two families in Pleasantview.

I moved the Burbs into one of the starter homes that isn't a trailer or a condo. John got a job and Jennifer got pregnant. Using that aspiration reward from Nightlife, I switched their aspirations so she is family and he's fortune. She then gave birth to triplets, which there was absolutely no room for. Lucy grew up into a gorgeous teen, and rolled family. She adores her younger siblings and is best friends with her cousins, Angela and Lillith.

At the Pleasants, the second Kaylynn arrived I had Angela dismiss her, and then I chose not to have her stay to hang out, or whatever that little pop-up says. Daniel and Mary-Sue are working on fixing their relationship, the only way Daniel can stay in platinum is by having dates. All the time. The twins are also becoming friends again.

I went through and redecorated all of their houses and gave everyone a makeover but didn't play, and the Brokes are next to play on my rotation schedule.

gawd I can't remember, I usually play my own created Sims ... I do remember I played the Broke house and discovered that Brandi had very expensive tastes in decor and furniture, so I sold all the stuff and built an extension onto the house - I think I eventually married her off to another sim...

I did play the house where there's twin girls who kept fighting with each other - that drove me mad so I gave up

The Goth Family

Cassandra
She was left at the alter by Don, which is what I hoped; she deserves better in the end. She has since recovered and is now happily married with Darren Dreamer, and due to Mortimer's marriage to Dina she now stands less likely to inherit the Goth Manor - but she doesn't mind too much, as she loves living with Darren and Dirk now treats her as his mother.

Mortimer + Dina
Mortimer and Dina got married, and not long afterwards Cassandra moved out; her and Dina hate each other for some reason anyway (probably related to Don). Dina had a makeover, and now looks like she's stepped out of the Regency era with her intricate hairstyle and Jane Austen-style gown (see Maxis Characters Makeovers - The Good Kind! thread). Mortimer and Dina have had twin girls together - Elizabeth and Eleanor. Mortimer has also built a servo called Sally1 - she is the only one who looks after the (now) toddlers. Neither Mortimer nor Dina have ever fed their children or changed a nappy - but then I am gradually turning them into the kind of high class family that has servants for everything. Eleanor and Elizabeth look really beautiful so far.

Alexander
He has grown up into a teenager, and treats Dina like his mother; they get on really well. He is considoring moving out though - he is beginning to realise that Dina intends her daughters to inherit the Goth fortune, and he is also beginning to realise that Dina will be named Head of the family instead of him or Cassandra - Mortimer barely notices his children from his first marriage now. Or actually his second, but he certainly interacts with the toddlers autonomously more.

I had Lillith sleep with Angela's boyfriend Dustin and get caught cheating by Dirk, who broke up with her. Angela promptly broke up with Dustin, too, and Dirk and Angela got together. They all grew up and Dirk and Angela had a falling-out.

So Dirk got with Dustin after that. They live together with two kids so far.

Alexander grew up and was seduced by Don and got pregnant by him. He had triplets and lives in the mansion with his mother-in-law Dina.

Both Dina and Nina have children by Don, who died in a fire while I wasn't looking.

Darren was crushed by a satellite before I could get him to marry Cassandra, so now she's got his and Don's illegitimate children to look after all by herself.

Mortimer died.

I didn't do anything with Brandy or Beau yet.

Sta_r_obin - Your Pleasantview sounds a lot more interesting than mine! I'm too soft on my Sims, they all tend to have pleasant, uneventful lives with lots of children and grandchildren; the worse thing that ever happens is someone cheating.

OK, I am definitely moving into Sta_r_obin's Pleasantview. And I'm bringing popcorn. :D

I've given everyone in my Pleasantview makeovers, but I have yet to decide what to do with them. This thread gives me tons of ideas, though.

I really don't play Maxis 'hoods much, but there we go...

I got Don married to Cassandra, but he then had a fling with Nina Caliente which led to both Cassandra and Dina falling out with him. You can guess what happened after that... Here's a clue: :handbag: Don and Nina are now married (*evil chuckle*) with a baby on the way.

Cassandra got married to Darren Dreamer before giving birth to Don's son Lucas.

I brought Bella Goth back from the dead but before I could do anything useful with her, I left the lot to take Cassandra shopping. Came back to find her quietly dissolving away, which plunged Cassandra, Mortimer and Lucas into aspiration failure. :( Dina fell pregnant with Mortimer's baby before he died, at which point she moved in with Brandi Broke. The two are now lovers. Beau still lives with them, alternating between doting on his adopted half-brother, flirting with all the male townies in the neighbourhood and bunking off school.

Daniel lives in that tiny wooden hut with Kaylynn- they were kicked out by Mary Sue after she found them woohooing together, and at first, Lilith went to live with them. After a while, she started to hate Kaylynn, and in the end she left to live with Dirk Dreamer. The two now live in a trailer along with Dustin, Angela (who is now Dustin's wife), and their children.

And so on. That's about it really.

I got Don to marry Cassandra and they had a baby boy, then Don had a fling with Dina and he moved in with her, Cassadra's brothergrew up and so did Cassandra's son and i moved Cassandra and Don and the kid in with each other in this other house, and Don and Cassandra had a bbay girl and Don had another fling with Dina and i set the house on fire and Cassandra died and i moved Don and the kids in with Mortimer and Cassandra's bro, then i made Don leave :anime: and Mortimer proposed to Dina and she rejected and Mortimer died a second after that and the two boys and the girl ;ived in the house and cassandr'a bro grew intoo an adult and thats the last i've heard of them :kami:

Well I used to have a very slow computer so I decided to delete Pleasantview on it, but I moved most of the families to Veronaville. I've only played with them there for a little while but this is what happened.

Pleasant: Made the twins friends again. Also made a couple of teen boys in CAS and the moved in with them. Lillith had twins with her boyfriend and is a terrible mother and Angela and her bf are still just together.

Dreamer: Resorrected Darlene...nothing else.

Lothario: Moved Dina and Nina in with him and he dates both of them. He had a girl with one of them, but I forget which one.

Broke: Had her son. Also resorrected her husband and they got remarried.

Goth: Don't think I've played them for a while.

Well thta's that. I just installed the megahood (*hopes it worked*) so I'll start them all over there. I am keeping my orriginals in Verronaville though in case I want to play them.

1st Aug 2008, 01:16 PM

My Pleasantview is an older version that I've been playing for a while:

Goth: Mortimer has been married and divorced from 1). Dina, with whom he had two sons. 2) Bella, who came back to him from her trip. He's had 3 more children with Bella, and two by Dina, in addition to Cassandra and Alexander.
At one time he was married to both of them at the same time-and quite the drama there was. He's now on the look-out for wife #3, and he might have found her.
Bella (a downloaded version)-she's now living with Don Lothario, (with whom she had a child that she has left with Mortimer) and his 5 sons by Kitty Shaikh, who died a very unnatural and sudden death after a miserable and short marriage to Don.
Cassandra has had 6 girls with Darren Dreamer, who left her suddenly for another woman-who's having his child, as well. Cassandra and Darren are not getting along.
Daniel and Mary Sue are still together, but Daniel slipped the leash just recently and got Brandi Broke pregnant.
Brandi, on the other hand, has been joined with another woman for a very long time, but recently broke up with her when she found Karen (her partner) had had affairs with her sons-Dustin, Beau and Billy. Karen has had twins by Beau, and is expecting another set by Billy very shortly.
Don, the oldest stud in Pleasantview, has had 8 children by various women: Nina, Bella, Kitty, and Cassandra. He has been married to Kitty and Cassandra briefly.
Dustin Broke has married a townie and has 3 girls by her.
Lillith has married a created sim, has had 1 boy, and is expecting another child.
Angela married Alon Livingston (a townie), has had 6 children, and is expecting another child shortly. Their marriage was rocky in the beginning, and they had broken up for a while-the children were taken by a social worker while Angela was working one day. The children were only returned when Angela and her husband went to counseling and remarried.
Nina Caliente has 5 children with her husband Waylon, and is expecting another shortly. She still longs for Don Lothario and still has the hots for him.
Dina is alone and raising her two sons by Mortimer. She received a hefty divorce settlement from Mortimer when she found he was married to both her and Bella at the same time.
Kaylynn is married to Beau Broke and has 3 children. She's finally settled down-but she doesn't get along with her mother-in-law, and they had a huge fight at the wedding.
The Oldies have had 4 more sons, and are expecting another.
John Burb lost his wife Jennifer suddenly and after a long widowerhood, has married Lillian Hick, who recently had his daughter. Elden and Lucy are very good friends.

My Pleasantview is a hotbed of gossip, intrigue and soap opera..and I enjoy playing it!

I actually haven't done much with my Pleasentview characters, besides giving them makeovers.

I did mess with the Pleasent family, though.

Daniel was a good boy and didn't fool around with Kaylynn, only to walk in on her and Mary-Sue making out on the couch the next day. XD

They broke up, and now he still lives with the girls and all they do is cry 24/7.

Mary-Sue and Kaylynn live together, but don't get along very well. Mary-Sue supports the couple, while Kaylynn messes around with random townies while Mary-Sue's at work.

6th Aug 2008, 07:37 PM

Finally decided to answer this. I have been too lazy to write this XD

Dreamer: Darren befriended some of my sims but was really boring to play so he died in a little "accident". Dirk grew up to an adult, fooled around a bit but ended up being as boring as Darren so... Killed =P.

Lothario: Got married to Cassandra, had a daughter, got caught cheating, divorced. Had a child with one of my sims but never moved in or anything, never even met his son. Was later killed by Gordon (my vampire sim).

Caliente: Dina got married with Jonathan (one of my sims) and had twins. Had rather insane marriage with lots of cheating going around (they never got caught of it) and finally died of old age with her husband. Their two children are now adults. Third child was a result of Jonathan's cheating.

Nina instead is still alive and well (yeah... my family trees don't make that much sense =P). She's bi-sexual and is having her most serious relationship with the biggest b***h of the neighborhood: Shiela. Together they love to annoy the hell out of other sims.

Goth:
Mortimer: killed
Alexander: grew up to a teen, turned out to be a jerk --> killed.
Cassandra: got married with Don and they had a daughter but soon after that they divorced. Gordon suddenly decided to steal their house so he killed her. Cassandra's daughter Giselle got taken by social workers and the house was now free to move in. Giselle was adopted and after she grew up, I noticed she was very attracted to Gordon's son Louis. They married and had a son. She soon befriended Gordon and asked him to give a nice bite of death to her dad, Don (she hated him due his cheating on her mother).
Later got caught cheating herself. Her husband shot her =P

Broke: Brandi has an on-off relationship with Gordon, Dustin and Beau are teenagers and her youngest son is still a toddler. Dustin is at work and that's actually the only way they earn money and I won't use the money cheat. It's fun to play something catastrophic with never growing toddler around so I use aging off XD. Is soon probably going to have some big changes though.

Pleasant: I killed Mary Sue almost immediately because she annoyed me. Others lived their life pretty normal. Daniel was a lover of Tanya (one of my romance sims) and Lilith instead was a lover of Tanya's son Andrea (also a romance sim). Then I finally got bored of them and deleted the whole family.

Burb: Deleted

Oldie: Deleted

lunaselene503

6th Aug 2008, 10:24 PM

Well I actually haven't done all of this yet, but here's my plans for Pleasantview:

Goth

To prevent Cassandra from getting left at the altar by Don, I'm going to have her get in a car crash. Really I'll just used InSim to remove their hearts and stage her being in a hospital. She will not die in the car crash but get amnesia eventually regaining most of her memory...except for her engagement to Don. :beer: For more information about Cassandra scroll down to the Dreamers.

As for Mortimer: He'll drink a tank of Elixar ((so he can live to be eighty days old)) but lose the heart of Dina Caliente to Malcolm Landgraab- the wealthy guy from Blue Water Village. Don't feel bad for him though, he'll find the real Bella Gowth, who will then be elderfied. They will then have a beautiful elder wedding and live happily ever after, with Alex becomeing a knowledge sim and marrying Lucy Burb.

Dreamer

With Cassandra in the hospital, Darren will visit his muse every day until she recovers. Of course, Cassandra will see how kind and supportve Darren ((or Aaron as she now calls him)) is and fall in love with him. She will marry him and be a wonderful mother to twins Christopher and Bella, and step-mother to Dirk. Speaking of Dirk, he and Lilith are still going strong. He'll go to college with the other teens, propose to Lilith, marry Lilith, and have three kids name Justin, Faye and either Henry or Hilda depending on the third baby's gender. Dirk will be an architect while Lilith will be a rock goddess.

Pleasant

Mary-Sue will quit her job and spend a much needed couple's day with Daniel that will remind him of why he loves her. In that day they'll both get makeovers, agree to try and get along with Lilith, and have a Dream Date. To top it off Mary Sue will become a pleasure sim. Daniel will replace Kaylynn with Remington and hears about Don dating Kaylynn, which confirms his decision.

As for the twins: For Lilith, see the Dreamers. Angela will go to college with the other teens, get proposed to by Dustin, marry Dustin ((who changed his last name to Larson. See the Brokes for more information)), and have two- kids Bradley and Christina. Angela will be a space pirate ((like her bio says she wants to be. lol)) and I don't know what Dustin should be. Any ideas?

Oldies

Herb and Coral will become close with their family and adopt the Crittur dogs. They will also have their golden anniversary making Coral perma-plat, while Herb will become a knowledge sim, who maxes his skill to be perma-plat. Next stop-death. It'll then become a waiting house for brides-to-be who just got out of college.

Broke

Brandice will sell all unnecessary items to help stabilize their financial situation. Unfortunately, Brandice will miscarry the kid Maxis- programmed to have. While Beau- who changes his name to Francis- is being trained, Jason Larson will help out with the kids, allow them to move in with him, and comfort her about the miscarriage, resulting in them falling in love. Then they'll get married. In half-gratitude and half-not wanting Beau to change his last name, Dustin takes the Larson last name. Brandi and Jason will have a child together name Hannah.

See the Pleasants for information about Dustin and Angela's married life, even though they'll be living with the Larsons. Beau will go to college, marry Isabella Lothario, and have two kids.

Burbs

John will change his name to Michael and they'll have a son- after he changes his aspiration to Fortune and Jennifer changes her aspiration to Popularity. Lucy will grow up and become a family sim, go to college, and marry Alexander Goth.

Lothario

After he acquires Lucy Hanby as his fifth girlfriend, Don realizes that he doesn't want to be a player anymore. As a result, he'll propose to his first girlfriend and true love, Nina Caliente. They will have one daughter, Isabella. Sadly the Lothario name will die out once Isabella marries Francis Broke. After they die, I'll renovate their home into a waiting house for brides-to-be who just got out of college.

Caliente

See the Lothario household for information about Nina. As I've siad in the goth description, Dina will marry Malcolm Langraab who is everything she wants in a man- rich, handsome, and her age! With the Caliente household empty, It'll become another waiting house for brides-to be who just got out of college.

I would tell you guys more but I've already babbled on for too long and the other families are form Pets and Blue Water Village.

6th Aug 2008, 11:24 PM

I've not really played them that much but this is what I have done with them:

Goths: Cassandra and Don got married (he didn't leave her at the altar, I didn't even realise that was supposed to happen until I read people saying it on here!) and had a son - Zach. Cassie caught Don cheating and they fell out, and she then slept with Darren Dreamer. After a few nights of Don sleeping in the lounge, she forgave him and they decided to give it another shot. She fell pregnant by Don, and when she was in her third trimester she caught him cheating again so they broke up. He now lives on his own.

Then her and Darren got together, and Cassie, Zach, Darren and Dirk all moved in together. Cassie then had her daughter, Skye. Shortly after, she got the want to have another baby so I got her knocked up again and haven't played them since!

Calientes: Got Dina engaged to Mortimer. That's it for them so far, I may play them more when I get AL, gives them a better chance to meet other Sims to fulfill their 'desires'.

Brokes: Sent Dustin off to college because I wanted him to be with Angela (who I had sent to college). I gave Brandi a load of money - could say it was "insurance money" - because I felt sorry for her. I've just built her and Beau a nice new house. She's not had that third baby yet.

Pleasants: Sent Angela and Lillith off to college. Angela lives with one of my Sims (Chloe), Zach, Dirk and Dustin in a house. Lillith lives with another one of my Sims called Georgie (who just so happens to be Chloe's aunt ! my family tree gets a bit confused, some Sims are boring).

I like the Pleasantview sims but I like mine better! I tend to go play them to give them makeovers cause most of them look awful in Maxis stuff.

What did you do with Mortimer, Dina, Nina, Don, Darren, and the rest? Tell us every little detail of what happened with the Maxis premade characters in Pleasantview in your game.

I packed all the original city recidents, manually in game, cause I dont know any other way.
The I deleted the original cities, and now they live in one city called Sinimeri (Blue Ocean in english), with my own and my daughters creations.

StrawberryKisses

20th Aug 2008, 04:43 AM

Wow im glad I found this thread. hehe

Burb: Well I made Jennifer a stay at home mom, and John works as a high school principal. Lucy grew up into a teenager and started dating Alexander Goth, but later cheated on him and dumped with a bad boy named Tony Saprano(Sim I created). The burbs also had another child which is a boy name Simon. And a baby girl named Mary.(hint the 7th heaven names.. Lucy, Mary, Simon.. ect..)

Broke: I resurrected(sp?) Skip and he works as a gas station attendent. Brandy stays at home with their new baby Charlie, but she is currently looking for work. Beau grew up to a child and is a straight 'A' student, while Dustin and is making at least 'C's. But he has a problem of his own because he will soon find out Angela Pleasant is pregnant with his child. :)

Pleasant: Mary Sue stayed depressed for awhile, until she started getting more, and more promotions at work. So work is basically her #1 priority. Daniel is still cheating on his wife with Kaylynn(the maid) and is falling in love with her. Lilith caught her father cheating, and is currently blackmailing him. Dirk also broke up with Lilith, which is making her angrier and is affecting her school work. Angela and Lilith are getting along better, and Angela is going to need some support since she is pregnant by Dustin.

Dreamer: Darren decided Cassandra wasnt the one for him, and thought it was time to re marry. So he married Malissa Johnson(sim I made), and they had another little girl named Dasia. Dirk broke up with Lilith for Naturi Houston(sim I made), and they are currently in a great relationship. And Darren even likes the girl for his son.

Oldie: MarySue wanted them to move in with her, so to continue living alone they adopted 4 more kids. 2 are teens(Staci, and Amber who go to school with Lucy, Angela Lilith, Darren, Dustin.. ect. Amber causes trouble with relationships around Pleasantview, while Staci is too invovled in school. The other 2 are children(Brittany, and Michael). They plan on adopting more, but they first have to move into a bigger house.

Caliente: Nina married Mortimer and had his baby. They have a baby girl named Lina. And is pregnant with their 2nd child. Nina moved in with Don and had his son Reginald. Shortly after Nina left Don and her and the baby moved by theirselves. Although she does let Don come visit their child.

Lathario(sp?): Don and Nina moved in together and had a baby, but after Nina took their son and left, Don was alone for awhile. Now he is back living the ''player'' lifestyle, and is doing just about every townie. He aslo gave Cassandra Goth the boot, and made it clear he didnt want her.

Goth:Mortimer married Dina and had a baby girl named Lina. And is expecting their next child soon. But he still hopes someone will find his wife Bella. Alexander hates his life. He grew up into a teen, and was dumped by Lucy Burb for a 'bad boy', and then his father married a woman who police think is responsible for his mothers disappearance. Cassandra was dumped by Don, and Darren and is currently unemployed. She lays around the house all day whining and complaining, and hating her new step mom.

Thats pretty much it. I know my stories are nowhere near as interesting as everyone elses. :)

7th Sep 2008, 11:11 AM

I'm in the process of changing Pleasantview into a medieval/regency/old-fashioned neighbourhood, so my storylines have changed to show that.

The Goth Family

Lord Mortimer and Dina got married, making Dina the Matriarch (instead of Cassandra) and thus getting in the way of the inheritance. She had twin girls by Mortimer - Eleanor and Elizabeth.

On Mortimer's death bed he named Lady Dina the Elder of the family (as she would have been legally anyway by her marriage) and he also named Eleanor as the heir to the fortune, as she was the first born twin of his most recent marriage.

Alexander, sensing that on his father's death he wasn't wanted, moved out before Dina had a chance to do anything about him. He is currently in the family bin and I plan on marrying him to Lucy Burb, once she has grown up.

Cassandra married Darren Dreamer, a poor artist who she met while he was doing her father's portrait. Dina doesn't approve of his low rank, thus, has used this as an excuse to cut her off from her inheritence. I'm planning on letting Darren become a rich artist - thus raise in rank - so that Lady Dina is forced to allow Cassie her money.

Nina Caliente

After her sister caught the eye of Lord Mortimer, Nina helped pay for Dina's dresses etc so she could pass herself off as a Spanish noble. Now Dina has succeeded, she has disowned Nina to preserve her backstory as a noble - leaving Nina on her own.

Nina became the lovers of both Don Lothario and Darren Dreamer - and persuaded them both to support her financially (plus a little profit). However, she fell pregnant by Don and gave birth to identical triplets (seriously, the 2 girls are clones of each other). She named them Nicholas, Nellwyn and Nicole.

When her kids were about to start school, Nina conceived again. Unfortunatly, she then died after a miscarriage, making her children orphans.

Luckily for the triplets, Lady Dina has agreed to adopt all 3 of them as a way of atoning for her treatement of Nina.

I haven't played with the other families yet.

akksgurl_SC

7th Sep 2008, 03:07 PM

I play the Megahood and I love how they can interact with the other sims.

Broke
Brandi gave birth to twins, Belle and Benjamin, and then she, Dustin, and Beau died in a kitchen fire. The twins now live at the local orphanage and are teens now.

Burb
John died in a house fire (there was a lot of them!). Jennifer remarried Leod McGreggor. Lucy is now in college and she is dating Rick Contrary.

Pleasant/Langerak
Lilith ACR and Inteened her way into a teenage pregnancy with Dirk. They got married, moved out, and had triplets! After Dustin's death, Angela got sent to college where she met Tank Grunt whom she had triple chemistry with. They are now engaged and living in an apartment. Mary-Sue caught Daniel cheating with Kaylynn and they started an odd three's company relationship when Daniel moved Kaylynn in and she gave birth to twins, Tristan and Cameron. Daniel then cheated on Kaylynn with Dina Caliente prompting Kaylynn to leave with her boys. Mary-Sue died in a house fire (told ya there was a lot!) and Daniel moved to Desiderata Valley's retirement home where he woohooed with all the residents and died in platinum. Kaylynn married Luis Aspir but he died in a kitchen fire shortly after she popped for the second time with their son whom she named Luis Jr. She then started having an affair with Victor and was eventually caught by Elizabeth. Elizabeth took their kids (they had three by this point) and left. Victor and Kaylynn are now married.

Oldie
They had a house fire but they didn't die. I didn't notice that the refrigerator was destroyed and they subsequently starved to death. My bad. :P

Dreamer
Dirk and Lilith had triplets - Jocelyn, Cecilia, and Abigail. They are teens now and Abby looks the most like her mom. They started in a small one room shack but between Lilith's painting and Dirk's job they have managed to buy her grandparent's old house. For Darren, I had recreated the Kat family by extracting and de-aging Tara and making my own version of Ginia. Anyway, Darren and Ginia ended up having triple chemistry but she was married and pregnant with Tara's little sister. Her husband, meanwhile, was alien pregnant with twins. After she and her husband gave birth, he died by being struck by lightening. Ginia and Darren got married and proceeded to have triplets of their own - Daria, Dale, and Dallas. They are children now.

Caliente
The sisters moved out of their rather cramped little house and into a larger one with the spare from one of my legacies. Dina forgot all about Mortimer when she spied Malcolm Landgraab IV on one of her many trips to the Crypt O'Night Club. They married and together they have two children - Malcolm V and Mimi. Malcolm V is actually pretty good looking. Mimi gives me nightmares. Nina, meanwhile, got involved with Buzz Grunt and actually wanted to get married (her secondary is Family). Triplets/Quads totally screwed me by making them have quads followed immediately thereafter by triplets! Their huge brood is now teens.

Lothario/Goth
Don married Cassandra and moved into the mansion. They had a son named Leo. Don became obsessed with the train set and ended up setting the attic on fire. With no escape in site, he, Cassandra, and Alexander all fried. Mortimer died a few hours later, deeply in the red. This left Bella all alone to raise Leo but she was okay because she was working on her "Woohoo with 20 sims" want. During this, she ended up having two children with Daniel Pleasant - Rebecca and Gregory. She died in platinum and the three children were sent to the local orphanage.

Um.
Well, I never touched any premades except the goths.
This is awsome. I mentioned (as Hyja) in the Tragedies thing that I had an odd obsession with Alexander goth.

Cassandra - Plays a part in my new fanfic Naturally Green
Mortimer - Annoys me. I'm going to kill him soon if time doesn't.
Bella - Has been found. I played for a bit, went to another family, and then I find HER GHOST dancing with Alex... Weird... Then she disappears and everyone cries. o_O
Don - Plays a part in my new fanfic Naturally Green
Darren Dreamer - Though he's not in my fanfic, he actually DID marry Cassy. At the wedding, Cassy find Don cheating on him, breaks up with him, and marries Darren instead.
Dirk - Is annoying.

-drumroll please-
Alexander Goth - Fell in love with the teen that was taken in by Mortimer when he joined the Simcity Foster-an-orphan program. They are going to go to college together, and then get married.
Huzzah! -goes back to game now P:-

Ok. Here goes :

Caliente:
Dina got pregnant by Don and had (adorable :anime: ) twins. So did Nina. At the same time, whilst both living together. So Dina and Nina both raise their twins, all fathered by Don in the same house. Of course they both find out, and decide to take out revenge on Don, not talking to him again. Strangely, Dina and Nina remain friends. :confused: Dina then gets pregnant with twins again by Mortimer, which are also cute:). Finally, Nina gets pregnant with Dustin's kid, which turns out hideous, with Dustin's flat nose. Nina moves out with her 3 kids into a Trailer with Dustin, and Dina raises her 4 kids in the Condo, with Mortimer. I have no plans for them to marry yet though. Dina and Nina are still good friends.

____________________________

Goth
Don (after getting a mouthful from the Caliente sisters), married Cassandra and becomes a family sim. They have one child, Tanya, and live in the Goth house together. Don cheats no more!

The Brokes: Brandi married a CAS sim, Joshua Darwin, who has two daughers, Alexis and Calliope. She then gave birth to her third son, Gabriel, and then she and her hubby had a son, Damien (I think).

The Goths: Cassandra married Don, but then shortly after she gave birth to their daughter, Bella, she caught him cheating with Kaylynn the maid they divorced, and she and her daughter moved in with Mortimer, who had married Dina. Dina is now expecting their first child, but also slowly falling in love with Cassie (or at least she was until Cassandra & Bella disappeared into nothingness...

Don Lothario: After he and Cassandra broke up, Kaylynn the maid moved in with him. He is also having and affair with Nina Caliente, who gave birth to his daugher, Artemisia. He and Kaylynn aren't married or engaged, but they currently have on daughter, Esme, and Kaylynn recently gave birth to Daniel Pleasant's son, Daniel (what else?).

I don't really play any of the others...they're too boring XD

OK so this is what i did,

Goth:
Cassandra broke up with Don after catching him during an affair with Nina. She later married a sim i made named Antino Washington, together they had twin girls Rihanna and Riesha. Mortimer never got married to Dina and died of old age, Alexander became a teen and was given the knowledge asperation and wants to be just like his dad. When he became an adult he married Lucy and she moved into the Goth manor where she became a bit posh. Alexander and Lucy had 2 children a boy and a girl named Mark and Thea. Alexander, Lucy, Cassandra and Antino are elders, Rihanna and Riesha are adults Rihanna has family asperation and Riesha has fortune. Mark is also an adult with the fortune asperation Thea however is still a teen with knowledge.

As an adult Antino worked as a cashier at Checo's furniture store, Alexander was a mad scientist.

Broke:
Brandi remarried to a sim named Troy and the family moved to a bigger house (Troy was fairly rich). Brandi gave birth to twin boys named James and Blake, Beau became a chiled and Dustin was forced by his pearents to stop seeing Angela. Brandi got pregnant again with Troy and had a baby boy (again) named Kyle. As they all grew up Dustin moved out and into a smallhouse downtown after becoming an adult, he got married to a sim i made named Kelly. They have 1 child namd Dustin jr. Beau got married to a sim named Maria and they have 4 kids Kate and Shannan (teens) Eric (child) and Jamie (toddler). James is single but as a romance sim he is having affairs with 3 townies and Blake is looking for someone to start a family with. Kyle has just become a adult and is single living alone, Brandi and Troy are elders living in the old Broke house.

Angela was given their house, she got married and has a son but thats all.

Caliente:
Dina caught Nina having and affair with Don and in her anger she became an evil witch. She lives with her master Steffi in a apartment.

10th Oct 2008, 04:10 AM

I'm going to sound evil in some parts of this, since I killed off a couple of beloved characters (one in a somewhat horrific way). Anyways, I just started Pleasantview over, and have dramatically changed what I've done with some of the characters from what I have done in past playings of the neighborhood. Anyway, here goes:

Goth: Cassandra sort of bores me, so I let her get left at the altar by Don and then she "died of a broken heart" (aka killed her with the insimenator). Mortimer married Dina, but caught her in bed with Don Lothario, and promptly broke up with her. Alexander grew into a teen, and well, he and my self sim are dating in the game. We have three bolts for each other, so it just sort of worked out. Plus I'm single in real life, so I can date whoever I want in the game.

Dreamer Dirk bores me also, so I killed him off in a fire. That way he died like his mother so I can say that he died with her in the fire. Darren, well....he just paints all day since there's no Cassandra to marry him to. One of these days I'll get around to making a Sim for him to marry or have him marry a townie.

Pleasant: In past playings I've made Lilith the nice, misunderstood one. But I got sick of doing that so now I've sort of made her the school slut. She got together with Dustin Broke right in front of Angela, therefore ruining Dustin's relationship with Angela. Angela is still the one her parents adore, but I've sort of made her homely looking so that neither twin is really considered "popular" at their school. In the past I always had Angela be the most popular girl at school, and that just got boring. In the future, though, I plan for Angela to go to college, find a husband, and be the one who takes over the family house after the parents die. Lilith, since she doesn't spend time at school or on homework, won't go to college, and she and Dustin will end up poor and have to live in one of the cheap houses 'til they make enough money to move to a more expensive house. As for Mary Sue and Daniel, Mary Sue has no idea about the affair with Kaylynn, and she and Daniel are expecting another child.

Broke: Nothing much here, but I was sick of having her marry a guy and keep having more children, so to add some spice to the game I made her and Nina bisexual and they are together right now. The Broke's moved into Nina's house after Dina moved out to live with Don (will get to that in a bit!).

Caliente: Like I said above, Nina is with Brandi at the moment, and all of the Broke's moved into the Caliente house. Dina was living there after Mortimer kicked her out, but Dina found out she was pregnant with Don's child so she moved in with Don.

Lothario: Left Cassandra at the altar, and really hasn't done much 'til he asked Dina to move in after she found out she was pregnant with his child. They got engaged and married (much to Don's disliking), and they are expecting twins!

And, I think that is everybody. If it sounds like I sort of moved fast with everybody in the game, it's because I did. I want to get to the point where I was a few months back where I had the whole neighborhood filled with the next few generations, and I don't want to be stuck playing forever to get back to that. But I also want to keep all my storylines in mind, so I can't go too fast.

25th Oct 2008, 09:38 PM

Since installing the game again on my laptop I have started again and, instead of following the same old storyline I did things a bit differently this time -

Lothario: After spending several days woohooing Dina, Nina, and Cassandra then getting caught by the maid, Don developed a great interest in Science (not his natural talent but he kept rolling wants about it after he had to use it to gain skill points, and his secondary aspiration is knowledge). One day while looking for planets in the sky, he got abducted by aliens and impregnated. He then gave birth to a son - Antonio Lothario (see the Goth family story for the rest).

Goth: After Don's son Antonio reached toddler age, Cassandra and Don got married with only Mortimer as the witness. Don then surprised the Goths by moving in his son as well (who they knew nothing about). Mortimer instantly disliked Antonio - hes a very old-fashioned guy who did not think that the illigitimate son of his daughter's husband had the right to live in the Goth household as he was not a blood relative. However, Mortimer soon warmed to Antonio and decided to let him stay until he was 18.

Mortimer forbade Don and Cassandra from having children until he died (mainly because of space - Mortimer in the main room; Don, Cassie and Antonio in one and Alexander in the other). However, Dina proposed to Mortimer and they got married then and there in Dina's house. With the extra money they moved into the "Federal Fortress" house which they renamed "Caliente Manor" and so far they haven't for any furniture.

Alexander now feels a bit out of place - Cassie and Don are now the Heads of the family as Mortimer gave up his title so they could have the house. Alexander plans to move out asap; especially as Don hates him.

---------------------

I haven't played any of the other families yet. More coming soon!

Nothing yet, in this game. I've had to reinstall my game numerous times due to random computer crashes :/

This time I've backed up everything, but I've mostly worked with Strangetown characters so far.

6th Nov 2008, 12:03 PM

I moved Brandi Broke into my Legacy family, but I forgot that she was...broke. I was going to keep her anyway, since my founder was making enough money to keep them alive, but then Brandi had herself the first bump of a baby, and I was like, 'OH HELLZ NO.' and moved her out. Now she's dying in the sim bin.

One afternoon, Angela Pleasant showed up on the Hiroshi family lot. One of the children, a teen named Vanessa, opened the door for Angela. The two became very good friends and Vanessa introduced Angela to Carson Hiroshi. Carson and Angela really just "clicked" so Carson had his first kiss...with Angela xD. All three of them went to university (*groan*) and Angela got pregnant -_-. Being the lazy female I am, I made all three of them drop out of college and move back to the Hiroshi family lot. Angela and Carson got married and have not had their child yet.

Well, I just started playing Pleasantview prosperity-style, in seasonal rotations. So far I've been through three families and this is what has happened so far...

Goth: Sandy and Don got married, much to my chagrin. I was hoping that he would leave her at the alter. They remained married for three sim days. One day as Sandy was coming home from work, she wandered into the house to find her husband having sex with the maid on the couch! She promptly told him to GTFO. Meanwhile, Alex ages into a really ugly teenager who rolls Popularity and wants to be a rockstar. Go figure. Morty's been sexing up Dina the entire time all of this has been going on. Sandy turns to Darren Dreamer in her anger and depression, and they fall in love.

Caliente: I don't really have plans for Nina yet. She'll start to become interesting in the next rotation, I believe. Dina, however, is knocked up with Morty's baby. Prior to conception, she proposed. I plan on having them married after Alex has gone to college and Sandy's moved in with Darren.

Pleasant: This was by far my most favorite to play today. Mary-Sue came home from work to find her husband sharing a post-coital kiss with the maid. However, she had no idea they'd just done the nasty and let Daniel slide on this one. A few days later, she enters the bedroom looking for her husband to find him in full-swing of una aventura amarosa and promptly leaves him, taking his(her) exercise machine, big screen TV, dresser, dining room set and car. Meanwhile, the teens are just being teens and fighting with each other a lot. Angela is set to not go to Uni and live with Dustin for the remainder of her existence while Lilith goes on to be a female power-lawyer.

I have a storyline for everyone and I can't wait to keep playing!

16th Nov 2008, 02:11 PM

Brandi Broke, Dustin, and Beau died in a kitchen fire courtesy of the "intense fire" hack. Brandi baby that she was pregnant with ended up being twins in my game. Both Belle and Benjamin are in college know after being saved from the social worker and sent to my playable orphanage. Belle is working on her gold sewing badge and I plan on hooking Benjamin up with Malcolm Landgraab IV and Dina (Caliente) Landgraab's daughter, Mimi.

Don and Cassandra had a son named Leo. Don then proceeded to set the train set in the Goth attic on fire which killed him and Alexander. Cassandra went into aspirational failure, refused to eat, and starved to death on the bedroom floor. Mortimer died of old age deeply in the red. Bella went on to woohoo with the entire town (literally) and had Daniel Pleasant's kids before dying in platinum. Leo and the Goth/Pleasant spawn Gregory and Rebecca were also sent to my playable orphanage.

John Burb managed to set himself on fire via heatstroke and died a few hours after moving his family into their new house. Lucy basically raised herself while Jennifer alternated between working and crying. Eventually Jennifer met Leod McGreggor (I love the Megahood!). The two got married and moved to Leod's house. Lucy is now engaged to Buck Grunt and Jennifer and Leod have died of old age.

Dina Caliente met and married Malcolm Landgraab IV. They had two children, the rather handsome Malcolm Landgraab V and the horribly deformed Mimi. They are now the proud grandparents of Malcolm VI (who is horribly deformed like his aunt) and the very cute Alexa. I feel bad for Mimi and Malcolm VI. They inherited the non-nose of Dina and Nina's alien grandfather. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot. ACR totally creeped me out with Malcolm. He was over at Nina's who had married Buzz Grunt and had 8 kids (triplets, quads, and one single). He was friends with one of her kids. I forget which since they're all dead (house fire again...LOL!) Anyway, Nina was having an affair with Ripp and Buck and then Malcolm proceeded to woohoo with her as well. She's his aunt! I was in shock. I didn't realize they could do that! :argh:

Daniel moved Kaylynn in and had twins with her after Mary-Sue caught them. Mary didn't move out, though, so fights were a plenty. Lilith decided to ACR and inTeen herself triplets with Dirk so I got them married as teens and moved out. Kaylynn caught Daniel woohooing with Dina Caliente and moved out. Mary-Sue and Daniel made up and were surprisingly happy (and Daniel surprisingly monogamous) until Mary-Sue died. Angela went to college where she met Tank Grunt. They got married and had triplets too! Daniel had twins with Bella Goth before moving into the old folks retirement community, woohooing with all the pretty ladies there, and then dying in platinum. The two sets of triplets are now in college. Lilith and Dirk moved in with Dirk's father and his new wife and their triplets (now do you see why I removed Triplets/Quads! LOL!) and thanks to Ginia's lousy cooking and my lack of buying them a smoke alarm, the entire family is now dead. Angela and Tank bored me so after the triplets went to college, I killed them.

Pleasant family-

Mary Sue found Daniel cheating with the maid. She divorced him and he moved out and he is now living with his sister Jennifer Burb. Mary Sue reached Mayor and then retired. She is now found a new hobby Pottery, It says in her Bio that she enjoys it.

Lilith- Still stayed gothic but dumped Dirk and is now an adult and still lives with Mary-Sue. She has adopted a little boy and is a rock star in the music career.

Angela- Married Dustin, had twins and moved out to a medium size house. Dustin is still in the crime career, which Ange doesnt know about. I also made Angela have a job in Oceonography because in her bio it says something about fish.

LookOutAPiano

25th Dec 2008, 06:00 PM

I've just wiped my neighborhoods to start over again and so far I've only played with the Pleasants enough to make a story line.

Mary-Sue became very successful and worked to the top of her career. Back home though, she's still on the uptight side, and especially hates Lilith. She's getting along ok with Daniel, but they're still not in love.

Daniel woohoo'd with Kaylynn once, but didn't go any further with that. He has been pretty good since, making it to the top of the Athletics career and subsequently, platinum aspiration. Kaylynn keeps calling him and trying to get him to speak to her. He isn't exactly happy with Mary-Sue, but he's comfortable, and he hasn't found someone else to have fun with yet, although he's liking the look of Dagmar the postwoman...

Angela found Dustin in the arms of Lilith one day and was distraught! She broke up with him on the spot, and her relationship with Lilith has never been worse. Dirk was also there when Angela found Dustin with Lilith, so they have been consoling each other and becoming good friends... but their friends at uni think there's more to it than just friendship...!

Lilith ran away from home twice because of how bad her relationship was with her family. She and Dustin have always gotten along well, and he never judged her for running away, unlike Dirk, so she turned to him for comfort. Of course, they got caught very quickly and things were very bad in the Pleasant house until she moved away to college with Dustin. She doesn't know this, but any day now Dustin is going to drop down on one knee with a little blue box in his hand...

26th Dec 2008, 11:20 AM

I used money cheats galore in my first Pleasantview, here's what I did....

BROKE FAMILY:
Brandi had her third kid, they all moved into a nice big house with a pool. All the boys eventually grew up and went away to college. She then drank a whole vat of Elixir of Life and aged right down, and fell in love with a CAS called Mark Friend. They have a toddler called Ryan Friend at the moment. Dustin's in love with Angela in college, Beau's getting terrible grades and Sean is getting great grades. Brandi doesn't need a job but she's in Education coz she wanted it so, and Mark spends the days at home taking care of Ryan.

GOTH FAMILY:
Cassandra got left at the altar by Don and fell in love with Darren the same night. She went into Aspiration failure but came out of it quick, Darren and her made a life together. Alexander went to college (and turned out pretty ugly, too) and Mortimer died happily of old age, still single. She had a baby with Darren, a girl called Bella who is very pretty and now a child.

PLEASANT:
Didn't play them much, but fired Kaylynn. Daniel moved out coz I was sick of him, but I forgot that I got him and Mary-Sue to try for baby, so Mary-Sue ended up pregnant with no support. Lilith is working on her career, and Angela is at college, so the girls weren't much help. Therefore her parents, Herb and Coral, moved in with her. She's still pregnant currently.

DREAMER:
Like I said, Darren moved into the Goth mansion. Dirk went to college and is still there currently. MIGHT form a relationship with CAS called Leah Paolopolis.

LOTHARIO:
Moved Don into the Sim Bin and deleted him. Pathetic dude.

CALIENTE:
Am focusing on their career right now. Nina in Slacker, Dina in Education.

Don't play these families much anymore, however, I'm more into the challenges now :)

aimsme_SC

26th Dec 2008, 11:49 AM

I think I posted here once before, but I've since reinstalled the game, so had to start all over again. So...

GOTHS: Cassandra married Don and moved out when she became pregnant. Alexander headed off to Academie Le Tour where he's happily studying away with a developing love interest in Dina on the side. Mortimer's still around, and I don't intend to continue playing him until Alexander's back, but he's still single. Might bring Bella back when I start playing him again, but I dunno...

LOTHARIO: Don married Cassandra, and they now live surprisingly happily in poverty, after buying a decent-sized house almost made them broke. Don's been curbing his romantic sim edges since the marriage, and even if he hadn't, taking care of his baby sons Martin and David would probably take his mind off any... inclinations he might have. ;)

CALIENTE: Dina moved out and now lives on her own, focusing on her career as a businesswoman. She's intended for Alexander Goth when he gets back from college, but that likely won't happen until Mortimer's gone. Nina's stayed in the house and lives with her new partner and her sons.

BROKE: Brandi is Nina's girlfriend, in case you hadn't guessed, and together with Dustin and... the other one (I forget his name), has moved in with her. She's expecting expecting a baby in about a day or so. Dustin's moved out to college with Angela, and while his studies aren't going brilliantly, he seems happy enough.

DREAMER: Darren may not be content to remain as Cassandra's BFF, but that's what he looks likely to be for now. Dirk has gone off to college along with Dustin, Angela and Lilith, and they've set up a Greek House together.

PLEASANT: Haven't played them much yet, so aside from the girls heading off to college, nothing's really happened.

26th Dec 2008, 12:07 PM

I've just re-started my plesentview.

The only person i've played at the moment is Don. I gave him and his house a much needed make-over. And I stupidly started my new legacy there(forgot i wasn't in my custom hoood) so i had my founder marry Darren Dreamer - that's all i've done - today or tomorrow i'm planning on giving them all make-overs :D

hikamiatemu_SC

26th Dec 2008, 06:47 PM

I'm just finishing a "setting up" stage for my newest restart on Plesantview, so there isn't much just yet. Instead of going through each family one-by-one, I'm just going to put up the Big Three, since everyone else kind of ties into them in some way or another (well, the Burbs and the Oldies aren't tied in yet, because I haven't had the chance to fix up places for them to move into yet).

PLEASANT . Mary-Sue got fired for her poorly-timed editing skills, and returned home just in time to catch Daniel in bed with Kaylynn. The resulting attack was pretty amusing, but it was made a little more amusing by the fact that she ended up going out immediately afterwards and meeting Don Lothario. They hit it off extremely well, she decided on getting a little revenge, one thing led to another... and now she's pregnant with Don's kid (or kids; the pregnancy's still on-going, there could always be twins). She told herself the affair was okay because, well, Daniel was sleeping around, anyway, and hey. Don works for the hospital, and connections to the hospital are always good for a politician, right? However, her moodiness from the pregnancy made her lash out at Lilith... and Daniel took his depression over his failed mojo out on her, as well. Relations got bad enough that she ran away, but the cops did manage to find her and bring her back. Daniel mended his relations with her enough that she wouldn't feel so antsy at home, but she started spending a lot of time out at community lots, where she met the high good witch, who she took to surprisingly well. Angela broke up with Dustin when he started making eyes at Lilith.

BROKE . Brandi had her third son, and Beau's a child now. Dustin got fired for some bad pickpocketing choices, and he's trying to get Lilith to notice him now that he's no longer with Angela; this is helped along by the fact that Lilith and Dirk are on shakey terms lately.

GOTH . This was actually all completely by accident; one of the times that Lilith was out at a community lot, Cassandra, Don, and Nina all ended up coming by at the same time. Don went after Nina first and flirted with her, which, obviously, made Cassandra furious. Cassandra tends to steal his newspaper and kick over his trashcan now, but the engagement hasn't been broken off just yet. The whole situation was extremely amusing, to say the least.

Well, not played Pleasantivew much since I restarted it, but here are my plans:

Goth: So far Cassandra has married Don and she's expecting their first child. Mortimer married Dina but still resides with her sister for the time being. I'm planning on having Dina move in to help Cassandra after her child is born. Dina will then get pregnant by Mortimer and hopefully have twins, then she and Don will start to have an affair. They'll get caught and kicked out, Dina moving out with her children. In the midst of this Alexander will grow up and help with his niece/nephew until he goes to college.

Pleasant: After an argument, Lilith will run away and (hopefully) come back pregnant with someone's child. Mary-Sue and Daniel will be furious, kicking her out and she'll go and live with her grandparents. Mary-Sue will catch Daniel woohooing with the maid and kick him out, also firing the maid. She'll then down a ton of elixar and find a new husband. Daniel will invite Kaylynn to move in with him and they'll start having children (although not all will be his). Angela...well, she'll probably just be there until she goes to college.

Broke: Brandi will have her third son, then I'll attempt to match her up with Malcolm Langraab IV (once I put the original Bluewater files back). Dustin won't go to college, and instead stay in the Criminal career track, marrying Angela when she returns from college. Beau will grow up well, get a good job (hopefully in the Law career) and head to college with a ton of scholarships. The third child will (hopefully) follow the same path as Beau.

Dreamer: After Don gets kicked out, Cassandra starts flirting with Darren and the two of them eventually marry. Darren and Dirk move in to the Goth mannor, taking up residence there and have tons of children. Dirk will invite Lilith in to the house before the two of them head to college.

Burb: Jennifer and John will have a couple more children, and Lucy will grow up well. She'll head to college and meet a (hopefully) cute guy (Alexander Goth) who she starts seeing. The two of them will graduate and move back in to their own house.

Caliente: Dina will move back with her children and she and Nina will attempt to keep a normal life. Unfortunately, Dina will get pregnant from her romp with Don and give birth to his child, and Nina will have a one-night stand with Don, also getting pregnant. They'll raise their kids not knowing who their father is.

Lothario: Don will get around the town a fair bit. On my count, he'll woohoo with Cassandra (while married to her), Dina, Nina, Kaylynn and possibly Angela at college if I'm feeling evil. All woohoos will result in children, with only Angela's child being sent to Don for him to look after. I'm planning on Angela and Don's child to be male and to follow in his father's footsteps as the town bicycle. :evil:

Oldies: Look after Lilith when needed, then probably die. They might do some gardening/breed some cats or dogs, but I'm not decided yet.

After a while I'm probably going to have to make some new sims, otherwise everyone's gonna end up related to everyone else after a couple of generations (especially with Don and Don jr.'s genes in the mix).

Pleasantview is my favorite neighborhood (Strangetown comes in a close second). I play mainly with the Caliente and Goth households. With this post, I'll go over the Calientes:

Dina - The former Mrs. Michael Bachelor set her sights on the head of the Goth household, Mortimer. Conniving her way into his heart, they eventually fell deep in lust and had a daughter together, Marianah. Dina honestly wants to marry him (only for the money, of course) but can't take the chance of being hurt again.

You see, her heart was shattered by the betrayal of the true love of her life, Don. Will she able to forgive him or will she live out the rest of her life, as a single woman?

Nina - Tired of living in her sister's shadow, Nina hatched a plan to bring Don's affections only blessed up on her. It worked...Don and Nina had a passionate affair that only ended when Dina caught the both of them in the act...in Dina's bed. Relishing in her sister's pain, Nina was taken by surprise when she realized that she was pregnant. She soon gave birth to a son, Nicholas.

A single mother and proud of it, Nina has now set her sights upon Daniel Pleasant. Who knows what else she will do?

I've completely mucked up all the storylines. I married Daniel Pleasant into my Asylum (I'm not much of a rule follower), and then Daniel had an affair with Dirk Dreamer. I have a bunch of bP's and Keely's spawn running amok, attempting to spread some of their gorgeous DNA among the maxian sims.

I haven't touched the Goths, in all of my years playing the sims. I should probably fix this sometime, but right now I'm having to much fun with my legacy.

Nothing at the moment as I've re-started the game.

But in the past this has happened;

Dina got married to Mortimer and had 2 children with him before he died. When he died she did up the mansion into her own modern aboad and grew old there with her children.

Don and Cassandra got married and had a kid but Cassandra caught Don cheating when she lost her job and came home early so left him. A few months later she got with Darren, they ended up married with 2 kids and growing old together.

Don then ended up with Nina, he kept cheating on her but she wouldn't leave him. She accidentely got pregnant and ended up with twins at which point he ran away and left Pleasantview forever.

Brandi ended up winning the lottery and moved into a huge mansion. She had another 3 kids with her new husband.

3rd Jan 2009, 02:04 AM

I've only just begun to replay this neighborhood so not much has happened with everyone.

Goths: I spruced up Cassandra with a new outfit and hairdo and made the house up a bit to give Cassandra a double bed. Cassandra and Don woohoo'd casually on the couch right before the wedding. Yet, it was just what Don wanted and he decided that enough was enough and cut off their engagement. She in turn went into aspiration failure and didn't get out of the state for many days.

Cassandra found out she was pregnant a day later and realized that she could not live in the manor anymore. She moved into a house across the street. She didn't accept money from her father and gave birth to a boy and girl, Christian and Olivia. Christian is a spitting image of his father, whereas Olivia is Cassandra's spitting image.

Soon after the scandal, Mortimer married Dina under the same arch and later that night got Dina pregnant. Dina afterwards updated the house, giving it even more electricity and a more modern look. She is still expecting.

Dreamers: I wanted Darleen back and that meant selling most of Darren and Dirk's furniture and knicknacks. Neither Darleen and Darren have jobs still and Dirk has taken upon himself to support his family, plus the one expecting. Darren is unhappy and with Cassandra isolating himself, he stays with Darleen even though she's just a shell of a woman he once knew. He plans to divorce her when the time comes Cassandra calls him.

Caliente: Dina married Mortimer and is expecting his child. She can't stand him, and if it weren't for his money, she would never have bothered with him. She has her eyes set on Don, but knows that he's too unfaithful for her tastes.

Nina, her sister, can't stand being without a man and yet can't seem to find one. Don is just around the corner, but she's looking for an adventure, not the local flavor.

Pleasants: The girls, Angela and Lilith, are in more turmoil than they ever were. They have no relationship and are constantly furious with each other.

Mary-Sue came home from work early, demoted. After opening the door, she found Daniel in the arms of another woman, Kaylynn. She tried to understand, to hear his needs and apologies, but it was too late for that. They divorced. The girls were indifferent to it.

Lothario: Don broke off the engagement with Cassandra. He hasn't met his kids and never will because he doesn't know they exist, of course. He fooled around with Nina a few times afterwards and hopes that Dina will make her way over to his house.

Broke: Not much has happened here, yet. I plan on sending Dustin to college and pursue his lifetime want career. Brandi had the third child and for the life of me I can't remember his name...

All the teens will go to college, once I feel like it. As for alexander and lucy, they will be going after the teens now and will more than likely marry. Will update soon.

The only family I've really done anything with is the Pleasants. My brother made a Sim and convinced Mary-Sue to move in with him (which I found deeply hilarious). Angela and Lilith got into about 3 more fights and Daniel read a book.

I don't bother much with Maxis Sims...they bore me a little.

My Pleasentville is quite boring compared to some of yours!

The Goths: Cassandra married Don Lotario of course. They went on a honeymoon in the far east and she came home pregnant. She then found Don cheating on her with the maid (erm, quite planned) and divorced. She gave birth to a beautiful girl that she called like her mother. Later on, she started dating Darren Dreamer and eventually married him.

As for Mortimer, he of course married Dina, but only after she gave birth to his son, Thomas. Dina got pregnant again and had a girl called Cornelia Nighat (from her two grandmas). Mortimer died the next day (this was not planned!).

Alex is currently attending college (at home) and is probably gay.

The Dreamers:Nothing new. Darren married Cassandra and now they live together with his son and her daughter.

The Calientes/Lotario: Dina married Mortimer Goth and had two kids. Now that Mortimer's gone, she's trying to hook up with Malcom Laandgrab.

Nina instead had two girls with Don Lotario. The older kid, called Lola, is a teen, while the younger is a toddler.
She is quite the hockey mom right now. Don otherwise is always the serial cheater he used to be.

The Pleaseants: Lots of drama here. Well, lets see.
Mary Sue got pregnant. Then, that same day, she was fired and came home earlier just to find out Daniel flirting with the maid. She went into aspiration failure and lost the baby (this wasn't planned either! Poor girl).
Daniel then decided to start to behave good and did his best to get Mary Sue back.

Later on, teen Angela got pregnant too (this was totally planned!). Her pregnancy quite reunited the family. Dustin Broke moved in until she gave birth to twins Veronica and Andrea(a boy).

Angela and Lilith befriended finally and went throught all the drama together! So sweet.

Angela, Lilith and Dustin graduated at college and then Angela and Dustin moved out with the kids. Angela's grandma moved with them to help them with the twins, but she died soon and for some reasons her gosth keeps scaring the poor kids.
Angela and Dustin had another baby, Matteo, and she's now pregnant again.

Lilith is engaged with Dirk Dreamer with future plans to marry, but as for now they're mainly focused on their careers.

The Burbs: I killed of the parents :blink: and moved Lucy with the Pleasents. She just turned into a teenager and her best friend is Cassandra Goth's daughter.

The Brokes: Brandi married the cop that brought Dustin home one night after he sneaked out, she's Brandi Kauker now. She got pregnant the same period Angela did and she had twins too (this wasn't planned ! So funny). Then she got pregnant again, and once again in the same period of Angela.
And then, she got pregnant again! She has a total of 7 kids. Not enough tho, since she wanted 10!

... I... I... I killed them all. :weep:
I'm still in therapy for it.:lol:

Pleasantview is my favorite neighborhood. I'm playing a MEGAHOOD with all the maxis hoods (minus Belladonna Cove). Here's what's going on:

Goth: Cassandra was stood up by Don at the altar. Mary-Sue and Darren were there to comfort her. Daddy (Mortimer) was there to comfort her too. (I see Cassandra having a very special relationship with Mortimer since all they had was each other when they lost Bella and Alexander was too young to know what happened.) Cassandra married Darren and moved out. Mortimer fell in love with a random nanny who just happens to be the Nanny of Kylie Loner. The Loner's came to the wedding and surprise, Ajay Loner married Bella Goth in Strangetown. Mortimer is devistated, but Bella does not remember the past. She is happy to discover the lovely family she once had and a little sad that she missed so much. Mortimer realized he must move on with his new wife but remained with Bella for Alexander. (It broke his heart everytime he saw her.) Alexander became a teen and is preparing for college. No serious relationships yet, but my crystal ball says he'll end up with Lucy Burb.

Dreamer: While Darren was off comforting Cassandra, Dirk and Lilith were in his bedroom getting it on. Darren married Cassandra and she moved in. Dirk found out that Lilith is pregnant, and she confessed that it probably was not his since they used protection. (Dirk is a smart boy, after all.) Dirk is angry that Lilith was sleeping behind his back and breaks up with Lilith. Cassandra announced that she's pregnant at Mortimer's wedding and goes through a rollercoaster of emotion when she sees Bella. Dirk moved to college and now has his eyes on Melody Tinker.

Pleasant: Having been adopted herself, Mary-Sue has always wanted to adopt a child, and so Brandon Pleasant joined the family. Daniel rekindled his love with Mary-Sue and quit seeing Kaylynn. (She was done with him too since Daniel was not going to give her a family.) Daniel is thrilled to share his love of sports with Daniel. Lilith got it on with Dirk and then Ripp Grunt (from Strangetown) who is also the bass player in her band. (Lilith plays guitar.) Lilith made up with her sister who was the first to find out that Lilith was pregnant. Angela had her first kiss with Dustin but not much more happend with them before moving to college. Lilith went to grandma (Coral Oldie) for advice. She told her parents at the Oldie's about her pregnancy and they got in a huge fight. Coral took in Lilith. Then Lilith told Dirk and he broke up with her. Ripp has stood by her side through everything. Angela moved to college.

Broke: Brandi gave birth to her third son, Ian. By then she was already seeing Cyd Roseland. Dustin had his first kiss with Angela and they hung out a lot. He wasn't really a bad kid, and with Cyd's guidance was even able to get into college. Beau became a child and just trying to have fun. Cyd is the only dad that Beau and Ian have ever really known. Brandi is now pregnant with her first child with Cyd. (It will be a girl.)

Caliente: While hanging out at Club Dante, Dina met the hot club owner, Malcolm Landgraab. They started dating a lot. Nina got pregnant with Don's child. But soon after, Don broke off all relations with anyone other than Kaylynn. Nina had son. Dina then married Malcolm and moved in with him. Nina is raising her son by herself and may never find love.

Lothario: Don stood up Cassandra. He finally grew a conscience. He knew it was wrong and that he didn't love her. She was heartbroken, but he knew she'd get over him. He knocked up Nina but soon broke it off with her too. Kaylynn changed him. (Really! He has is now a Pleasure/Family sim.) She was the only girl that he wanted to be with for who she was. He wanted Cassandra's money and Nina's body but could never really talk to them. He connected with Kaylynn and when she demanded that he be faithful he turned his life around. Kaylynn moved in and they are now engaged.

Burb: Lucy got a puppy. She grew up into a nice teen. She's loves her dog. John and Jennifer had a baby boy, Andy and he is growing up quickly. They're so perfect that they're boring. I just play them to keep the time going. (Lucy is destined to marry Alexander.)

Oldie: Lilith came to Coral on what to do about her pregnancy. Coral had everyone over for dinner to celebrate Brandon joining the family. Later that evening, she made Lilith tell her parents. There was a huge fight and Herb and Coral decided to take in Lilith. Lilith was broken up with by Dirk. Ripp has stood by her side and moved in when the baby was born. Herb died. Coral will be dying soon. Ripp and Lilith are now adults, and their daughter Alyssa Grunt is now a toddler.

I would be surprised if anyone read all that, lol. I love reading what everyone else has done though, so I thought I'd share. :)

I haven't played Pleasantview very much, cuz I got bored of the neighborhood for a long while and did my own instead. But I've been playing again recently, and here's where I'm at:

Pleasant: Changed Daniel's aspiration to family, and stopped all contact between him and Kaylynn or whatever her name is. Made over all three girls. Mary-Sue got pregnant and had twin girls again. I think I named them Brittany and Kaitlyn, but I can't remember right now. They're toddlers by now. Angela and Lilith are getting along ok. Both got jobs. Lilith was an overachiever. Mary-Sue got a new job in the medical career, to work towards her LTW, after her pregnancy.

Goth: Mortimer caught Dina with Don on a community lot, so whatever they had going is over. I had Cassandra break up with Don as well, because of it. I mean, what loving father wouldn't tell his daughter that he found her fiance with someone else? They all went on a vacation and got makeovers. Cassandra is engaged to Darren Dreamer, though for some reason both have a bad memory of the engagement. Maybe cuz she's still recovering from the last failed engagement, and he still misses his late wife? *shrug* Alexander is just being a kid. I'm planning on bringing Bella back eventually, probably just before her daughter's wedding, and I might make her alien pregnant as well, just for fun. ;)

Dreamer: Darren got into the Arts and Crafts club, has sold a few paintings, and is engaged to Cassandra. Dirk and Lilith are still going strong. Not much more to say here.

Broke: I made over the whole family and built another floor onto their house for the two little ones. Dustin lost his job in the criminal career so I got him another job, can't remember what it was though, maybe military? Brandi fell in love with the bartender at the Sugar Cube Bowling alley Downtown, and I'll probably have them get married pretty soon.

Caliente: Dina got caught cheating on Mortimer so their relationship is over. She then caught Don with I think Kaylynn so that's over now too. She's made several friends, has a job (can't remember what), and a sort of on-again-off-again boyfriend, whom she just recently made furious by flirting with another man. We're waiting for the fires to die down before she smooths things over with him again. Nina caught Don cheating, but as soon as she wasn't furious with him any more he started sweet talking her, and she's fallen in love with him again. She has a job in the culinary career, and I think I changed her aspiration to popularity. Or is that what she starts as? Can't remember, it's been so long since I changed it.

Lothario: At first I wasn't sure what to do with this guy. I didn't much like him when I started playing, he seems like such a jerk! But after I ruined three of his relationships I started to get a story in mind. Then I let my fiance play around with him, asking that he not save the game. Unfortunately, my fiance didn't realize that taking a sim to a community lot automatically saves it, so I came back to the game to find Don with a blond moehawk and a random townie for a wife. I'm gonna say he got really drunk or something. Anyway, I moved him and his rich wife into a bigger house, and he's already back to his old tricks. Been on a date with Nina, and flirting around with several other girls, all while his wife is at home and pregnant. The scoundrel. =P

Burbs & Oldies: Moved them all into appartments when I first got AL, but haven't done much with them since.

Pleasant - Daniel did not get caught sleeping with the maid. He did however continue the affair and several others and has had a son outside of marriage with Dolly Wellbelove (A pleasure Sim who has seven children by as many fathers. She wants to marry of 6 children as a lifetime want but never wants to get married. Go figure.). He and Mary-Sue grow old and die still together. Angela marries Dustin, who moves into the Plesant household. Neither of them went to College, Dustin is following a police career path, Angela is a stay at home mum. Lilith completely fell out with all the family (except the iillegitamite child who she is best friends with), went to College to study art. She married Kirk Dreamer and moved to Bluewater village. She is a record store clerk on the Slacker track (and I am keeping her as such, by refusing to up her mechanical skills) and owns a music shop of her own in Bluewater Villiage.

Oldie - Coral and Herb both work part-time at a Gas station. She kept rolling wants that largely involving talking/interacting with Angela and Lilith, or being romantic with Herb. Herb largely wanted to WooHoo with Coral. The two both died with platinum aspirations.

Goth - Cassandra married Don Lothario and Mortimer married Dina Caliente. That night both Cassandra and Dina got pregnant and gave birth to a boy (Cassius) and a girl (Gretta) respectively. Mortimer died just after seeing his daughter become a toddler. Don has had two illegitimate children (one with Nina Caliente, one with Dolly Wellbelove) but had managaed to evade Cassandra's suspicions. However, with Mortimor out of the way, Dina and Don got sloppy and were caught trying for a baby by Cassandra. Cassandra broke off the relationship and moved out. She later married Darren Dreamer. Alexander went to University to study physics. There he met two twin girls, fell in love with one and got a crush on the other. He moved back home after college and married the woman he loved, and the sister also moved in. Alex's wife has just died by having a satellite fall on her head, so he helped get over his wife by marrying the sister!

Caliente - Dina married Mortimor and, to her credit, remained faithful to him until the day he died. However, after that she started up her affair with Don again and the two married. Nina got pregnant by Don and after having his baby, was proposed to by Jason Larson and the two now live together.

Broke - Brandy gave birth to a third child called Skip Juniour. Skip Juniour has just gone off to college. Dustin never went to college, married his childhood sweetheart and is working his way up the police ladder. Beau went gay with one of my premade Sims and is now working his way up the Showbiz ladder. Brandy married a man named Chuch who had no "nice" personality points whatsoever. Everybody in Pleasantview hates him and their house regularly gets vandalised by his enemies.

Dreamer - I cheated and made Darren switch to the artist track (despite him not having a degree). He married Cassandra and they are expecting their first child. Kirk grew up, went to Uni to study psychology and is now working his way up as a doctor. He married Lilith Pleasant.

Lothario - I had Don marry Cassandra pretty early on, so the Lothario family has technically "disappeared". However, as a Romance Sim, Don has been spreading his seed, having children with Cassandra, Dina, Nina and my own made Sim Dolly.
