Here is Early Strangetown's lil sibling! The main premise of creation of that first hood, was that a Early Pleasantview didn't exist as a full downloadable neighborhood! So... I went and created one!! It's set 10 years before Pleasantview begins, i know it's not the same as Early Strangetown, but when i was creating this hood timeline i was faced with a problem.
Pleasantview has sims all over town that appear at different main games at the same timeline, so if i would make 20 years before, some sims would be in The Sims 1 Neighborhoods, others would be living in Sims 3 Worlds, so a timeframe that (i think) everyone would be together, would be 10 years prior! And with that, i set it in a general 90's aesthetic, and i took that aesthetic pretty loosely lol, it's difficult with no cc!
Enough rambling, let's get on with the download!
A big reminder! I have the Ultimate Collection, so all EPs and SPs are required for the neighborhood.
CC Needed:
Sims 2 Store, Preorder, Misc items; (For all the sims and houses)
Creature Fix; (For Dina and Nina's alien eyes to work properly)
Invisible Driveway & Extensions; (For the driveway on the Pleasant-Oldie's house)
Go Under Spiral stairs; (For most houses with spiral stairs)

If you would like just the lots you can download HERE!
Just to clarify! All sims are genetically correct, the only difference is that the ALT version has custom faces made by me.
If you post your gameplay of the hood, do tag me! I'm super excited to see how the story progresses in other people's game!!

~Neighborhood Description~
As the families finally settle down, the Golden Years of Pleasantview are only beginning. With peaceful and promising futures, will the townsfolk maintain tranquility, or burst into chaos?
(My recommended) Play Order:
Goth;
Crumplebottom;
Caliente;
Bachelor;
Pleasant-Oldie;
Dreamer;
Broke;
Burb;
Langerak;
I've renovated all of the residential lots, and just like Early Strangetown, i didn't renovated a iconic lot, i wouldn't do 113 Wright Way justice lol, and i didn't renovate the community lots. But i did add a cemetery for deceased premades.
The neighborhood comes with:
10 Families;
9 Inhabited lots;
12 Uninhabited residential lots;
5 Community lots;
1 Apartment, the Pleasantvista Apartment (renovated);
20 Adult Townies, a mixture of Sims 2 townies, Sunset Valley playables turned into townies and Sims 1 playables turned to townies;
15 Teen Townies, mostly adult OG Pleasantview townies but in their teen years;
8 Child Townies; original teen townies from PV but in their childhood;
5 Toddlers in the Adoption Pool; the original townie children;
Michael Bachelor's clones turned to townies, for them to roam around Pleasantview;
And The Sims 1 Services NPCs make an appearance in this hood!;
The premade deceased sims were given bios, just to add more lore into them! But i gave it to them very early in creation, so for them, expect some inconsistency and bad grammar lol
Some townies were also given biographies, at least to those more important to the story.
As i mentioned, the sims are genetically correct, and i used original faces in PV for the parents, made by @meetmetotheriver for their clean template.
I was also thinking about what if you'd like to play a megahood with both Early Strangetown and Pleasantview? What i would recommend, is to play Strangetown until Nervous and the rest of his generation (Lazlo, Erin, Kristen, Lola and Chloe) are teens, and then add Early Pleasantview, just because there's a Nervous counterpart in my PV, and they should have the same age. But you can do whatever you want!
I know this is a VERY LONG post, but i wanted to thank some people for their help with this neighborhood that's very near and dear to my heart <3
@earlypleasantview and @cozy-sims Early Pleasantview she started making, for basically being the inspiration for my hood;
@jawusa for the Empty Template for Pleasantview;
@meetmetotheriver (again) for the faces for deceased sims from their Clean Template;
And @thepeasantsimmer, @jules-cant-build, again @earlypleasantview and @cozy-sims for helping me out on testing the neighborhood, and spending their time on my sims project lol
Here you can see the stories for the playable families!
Oh, just a FYI, If i ever do a Early Veronaville, it's gonna take a loooong time, in a very far future lmao
ok, this is my first cc i've ever made, and i'm pretty proud of myself!
these are the fun theater base game liners ( that were under eyeshadow originally :P ) that i recreated because i wanted for my game as eyeliners and didn't want the use the maxis ones, so i went ahead made them the way that i would like to use, and i'm putting up for download in case anyone else wants it too!
also, these are custom ones, i literally have no idea how to make default replacement makeup lol
Slant Eyeliner (Hermia) - DOWNLOAD
Curly Eyeliner (Fricorith) - DOWNLOAD
Here are them on my beloved models <3
one more thing!! if anyone that knows about default replacements, could you give me a few tips? i was really confused by the tutorials i found, and i'm a complete noob and would really appreciate a little bit of help lmao
Hi! When I downloaded your early Pleasantview hood the Crumplebottom’s weren’t in the neighborhood. I was wondering if I downloaded something incorrectly and if you can help?
Thanks!
Hello!! they're on the little cabin in the woods, just on the outskirts of town.
They're suppose to be there, but if they're completely missing from the neighborhood, i really don't know how to help :(
I hope this was it, and the game didn't screw things up
hello! I just found your early strangetown and early pleasantview! thank you so much for doing all this, I'm super excited to play! I just had a question on what exactly you meant by the nervous counterpart in pv if we wanted to play them as an uberhood?
hi! sorry for the very late reply lmao
thank you so much!! Nervous has a clone in Pleasantview that Michael Bachelor created on his trip to Strangetown, and just to keep the ages consistent if you were to play with Early Strangetown, i'd suggest waiting until Nervous is a teen in there to add pv.
but, i'm working on a version 2.0 of Early Strangetown, so it can be easier to play with pv, it's gonna set in the 90's also instead of the 80's and people won't need to think about this incompatibilities anymore lol

Don decided to go to the local boutique! totally not because it's convenient to the story i'm trying to make
He found Bella... ? I mean, he thought she looked like her iconic self, but something seemed off.
While he was trying to casually talk about the wedding preparations, she was hitting on him, Don was confused, but he accepted anyway!
So Don made plans for that night, him and Bella. Just to normally hang out, to get to know each other, since Bella's gonna be his mother-in-law, and maybe, Don could have another little fling before he settles down.
