Early Pleasantview Post 1: So this is an Early Pleasantview that I downloaded and the creator did a lovely job. I will share a bit of how I played. I didn't stick to what happens in Pleasantview as it ships with the game. I decided to rather use this as a "what could have happened instead". I do recommend this is you would like to play a Pleasantview with a bit of a twist.

In this universe, the dreamers were spared a lot of heartache. Now they can enjoy their happy family life together.

omg i can't believe that i'm finally done.

~Welcome To Early Pleasantview~

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)

DOWNLOAD:

Early_Pleasantview_NHood (NA01)

ALT_Early_Pleasantview_NHood (NE01)

Early_Pleasantview_SUBHOOD (BA01)

ALT_Early_Pleasantview_SUBHOOD (BE01)

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

i'm so dead tired but here's two of my fave pics from my early pleasantview hood because I never played past two houses

Since @gutosimmer hasn't been active on Tumblr since April 1, 2022 and nothing is known about his Early Veronaville, before starting my uberhood with Early PV and Early SV I think I'll create Early VV myself for personal use.

Unfortunately I won't be able to share the neighborhood because I have a lot of ccs and NPCs (I don't feel like creating a clean folder just for that) and I don't even know how to extract a neighborhood, so it will be something strictly personal.

I think I will create the neighborhood AFTER I fix my original Maxis uberhood and my BACC (I have to do a lot of makeovers...) so if you have any news on gutosimmer's Early VV please let me know before I create a mess! I love his neighborhoods and his style very much.

WHAT I WILL USE:

Veronaville Clean Empty Subhood Template from HERE.

The original Consort, Contessa, Patrizio and Isabella (the one from Maxis.)

Since gutosimmer uses genetically corrected sims, I'll use Consort and Contessa and Patrizio and Isabella's children from HERE. (Only their children and their wifes/husbands). I decided to use the original Consort, Contessa, Patrizio and Isabella because these versions use the genetics of their original Maxis parents.

Some ancestors from HERE (I need the parents of some sims).

Puck and Bottom's biological parents from HERE.

gutosimmer edited his lots staying true to the Maxis style, so I'm going to use the lots from @sundogsam who do great makeovers while keeping the Maxis style! HERE.

And finally I will use this mod to create memories. I've never used it, so I'll make a thousand thousand backups before I start using it.

Hi guys, I know I haven’t been active in a while but I have an announcement to make…

I’m going to be starting an Early Strangeview Let’s Play on this blog, using @gutosimmer ‘s Early Strangetown and Early Pleasantview neighborhood templates.

I’m going to start with just Strangetown and then I will add on Pleasantview once the current generation of toddlers (Nervous, Erin, and Lazlo) age up to teens!
