I did it, I made my own Pleasantview!

As the title suggests, my Pleasantview, is now completed and I can't wait to share it with you!

I've always wanted to contribute to my dearest Sims community with something that others could enjoy, a.k.a., a hood (no, Voidland is not dead on a ditch) so I figured I'd do one, and then I always had ideas for others, and I ended without finishing projects, multiple several times. But this Pleasantview can say otherwise, as I managed to """""""finish""""""" it. There are surely going to be a few problems here and there (I have the early version for my personal gameplay and I can tell you, the oversights I committed were definitely NOT little to none) but nothing is perfect really, don't kill me for it, pretty please.

Sooo.... what has this Pleasantview that makes it different from others?

Well... let's start off with a list of things it has

New Families to play with! Including the: Libros, Newbies, Broke Cousins, Susie Broke, Langerak and Kaylynn Langerak!

Renovated lots and some slight makeovers! (some more notable than others as for many premades their original outfits already look fantastic)

Genetically corrected premades! This means that half of Pleasantview's population is no longer face template nº2 and instead resemble their ancestors.

Infant faces! Now infants have the facial proportions from their parents instead of the regular one (in the townie version, townies also have infant faces)

New community lots for your simmies to visit!

New residential lots for your simmies to live in!

Memories that make more sense

And many more features!

(ignore Mary Sue's evil twin in the Oldie's portrait, she doesn't exist)

And here are some pictures from the hood view!

I don't wanna spoil more stuff about it, so I'll let you guys download it to discover the thingies going on and how the lots and households look.

UPDATE

I fixed an issue with the Caliente sisters and changed their appearances too. More in this reblog.

DOWNLOADS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Pleasantview WITH townies

Pleasantview WITHOUT townies

To put these in your game, go to Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 (Ultimate Collection if you have it)/Neighborhoods and drag what is inside of the .rar files into that folder.

Both versions are named N0V1, so if for some reason you wanted both in your game, I'd suggest to use a program to change the name of the files. I personally use Bulk Rename Utility.

MISC THINGIES

I'd recommend to use the rug fix mod otherwise, the rugs will either look funky or completely disappear (please forgive me for adding this so late)

Well... I think that's all I had to say about it! I'm super excited to have others play it and enjoy it! Thank you so much for supporting me and for downloading my Pleasantview. Have an awesome and fun time!

Okay things I have found out from just two days of playing:

paras have different needs depending on personality. My para is an introvert, so instead of a fun need, she has a "me time" need. Her fiancé (extrovert) has a fun need instead.

You can break up suddenly, amicably or ask for an open relationship

there are meteor impacts???

you can customize posters and photos with your own photos

the paras can PILLOWTALK AFTER WOOHOOING???? Like they talk while cuddling. There are no voice lines and no animations for it yet but I can see it in the queue

you can vandalize the town (other paras don't react to it yet though)

you can change the skin tone of the fuckin PALMS, I have never seen that in a video game in my entire life

the genetics are so good DESPITE the colour wheel. Reminds me a lot of the Sims 2 genetics system, but it additionally has hereditary height and hair texture. Remember how a certain multibilliondollar company kept saying Sims 3 has wonky genetics because of the colour wheel for skin and hair? Clowns.

Build mode? Fantastic. Already.

THE MODDING POSSIBILITIES? PLEASEEEEEE, people will go wild, I already know it (psssst in the game files there are files for different "sspecies", such as humans and... rabbits)

I absolutely love Lyla Vandermorgan. She's one of my favourite Sims. She's so tragic

I updated the download links to fix an issue the Calientes had (in which they immediately inherited Flamenco's fortune from god knows where) and I also gave them new appearances (they are still genetically correct) as I was not satisfied with the previous results. In case you downloaded my old Pleasantview link, and you want the new appearances for the Calientes, here will be the download link. New Caliente Appearances

If you wanted to have the old appearances, feel free to request them

More Social Interactions Mod - Sims 2

Playing Sims 2 made me realize how limited social interactions were compared to other Sims titles. So after some tutorials, I made my very first mod: More Social Interactions!

Here are the list of interactions. Some are triggered by relationship dynamics so you won't see them all at once. There are no new animations, just more options for storytelling purposes.

Beg For Forgiveness

Compliment Outfit

Compliment Personality

Small Talk

Ask About Day

Deep Conversation

Good Night Kiss

Ask What Their Problem Is

Compliment Appearance

Talk About Music

Say "I Love You"

Hold Close

Argue About Parenting

Criticize WooHoo

Compliment Hair

Give Reassurance

Talk About Past

Argue About Money

Friendly "Say I Love You"

Talk About Weather

Big shoutout to picknmixsims, echo on MTS, and The Sims 2 Guru on YouTube for all of the help on pointing me in the right direction.

I don't *think* this should conflict with anything, I have almost 10 gigs of CC and mods and haven't run into any issues. I also don't have any coding/modding experience so, idk how much I can help if something goes wrong.

I may add more interactions in the future!

The Sims 3 LEPacy Challenge - character introduction & gen 1 goals

Emelie Lovell

Age: 25 Traits: hates the outdoors, commitment issues, bookworm, athletic, heavy sleeper Occupation: amateur writer LTW: professional author. Earn §4000 per week in royalties Other quirks: constantly trying, but failing, to quit smoking. Struggles to make long-lasting connections with other sims. Doesn't see herself being in a committed relationship or having children.

Backstory: Emelie grew up in Sunset Valley, but due to a serious, long-lasting "conflict" with her parents, she ran away from home when she was 15 years old. She ended up moving to Bridgeport to escape both her parents and the rumors that were spreading about her in her hometown.

10 years later, she got a phone call from a lawyer letting her know that her parents had passed away, and that they had left their house to her, their only child. Tired of the expenses of city life and of constantly living paycheck-to-paycheck, Emelie decided to move back to Sunset Valley to see if she could find a better life for herself in her hometown, and maybe finally break through as an author.

Generation 1 goals: - find romantic partner(s) online (seasons) - reach the highest level in a part-time job (base game) - complete lifetime wish (base game) - reach level 10 in the athletic skill and the writing skill (base game) - complete skill challenges for the athletic skill and the writing skill (base game)

I just downloaded your Pleasantview. Can't wait to play with it! If you don't mind I have a question - do you plan to make a sub version of this neighborhood? :) :D

Good day anonymus!

I’ll try to come out with a subhood version of this soon, it’s quite simple to transform it into a subhood if you want to do it on your own as I transform it!

Here's a tutorial for it if you want to have it now
