Nervous is the highlight of the whole town. Let’s be honest 💕

[@PleasantSims]

He totally is. ❤❤

[@chillfactory9000]

tbh!

[@bennyanderson4810]

When i was little i always made Nervous marry Ophelia before i knew they was cousins😂

[@blankuser987]

NOOOOOOOO 😭

[@amandalovesthesims2]

That’s hilarious

[@sunflower4100]

Cindy be like : omg poor Nervous 😭 *proceeds to make Loki torture him*

[@DM-Oz]

Need to stay in character

[@Petals215]

Nervous and Pascal are my favorites in Strangetown.

[@PleasantSims]

I love them so much too! I can't wait to get their relationship going!

[@GrotesqueIy]

Olive is mine

[@antonpetrov1483]

I like them,but also love Vidcund and Olive.

[@STrav1991]

As an Irish person, I was surprised that you managed to pronounce Circe's mother Grainne perfectly! Well done!

[@heatherysnicket]

In my game, Nervous and Circe fell in love and ran off together. I definitely wasn't expecting that, lmao.

[@PleasantSims]

Wow! That's a twist!

[@heatherysnicket]

@@PleasantSims I think ACR was mostly to blame... ;)

[@jo-cz6tt]

Great video! In my opinion, I think they didn't put any points in "serious - playful" and "grouchy - nice" because Loki and Circe have no personality. They probably don't even have feelings for each other (or pretty much everyone else in life) because on the upstairs, there are two bedrooms, meaning that they probably sleep in two different bedrooms, unlike most of the couples

[@nejdalej]

I disagree. In my game they snog all the time, especially on other people's lots xD

[@EmmGeeYT]

I can’t help but feel personally attacked that they were both Capricorn’s, is this how EA sees us 😭😂😂 great episode! Love strange town and never knew the scripted events existed!

[@PleasantSims]

Haha! Yes, according to EA, Capricorns are evil!

[@ll-rx3zk]

I'm a Capricorn too! 😂

The beakers and curious/smith family is the reason why strangetown is one of my fav hood 🙌🏽🙌🏽👽👽👽

[@PleasantSims]

I love the neighborhood story in Strangetown. Can't wait to get to the other families! 💙

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

You know, I find it possible that Erin used to live in the guest room of the Beaker house, but didn't want anything to do with Loki and Circe's experiments on poor Nervous so she left.

[@jacquelinelanda1084]

You should pair up Loki's sister with one of the curious brothers and start some sweet drama 😁

[@PleasantSims]

I can't wait to see who everyone is going to end up with. In Strangetown, the beginning single Sims are totally free to choose who they want. It would be great if Erin ended up with Lazlo or Vidcund! I hope it happens!

[@jacquelinelanda1084]

@@PleasantSims I would like vincund since Loki and vincund hate each other. Imagne the birthday party drama. Lol 😁

[@AymanTravelTransport]

@@jacquelinelanda1084 yes! He'd be like "Loki took my ex girlfriend so I'll nail his sister!"

[@jacquelinelanda1084]

@@AymanTravelTransport Yes! 😂

[@ripp8777]

Circe has a hidden knowledge aspiration,maybe this could be her secondary aspiration?

[@PleasantSims]

Way ahead of you.

[@Rdonovan97]

....I’ve been pronouncing Circe’s name wrong this whole time. I’ve always called her “Cirque.” Omg xD Nervous and Circe always got along very well while Loki took every chance he could to argue with him. I kept Nervous around to help with Circe and Loki’s baby, but by then the arguing got too annoying so I moved Nervous out to live with his mom lol. Nervous is now engaged to Erin Beaker (which I can imagine definitely ticks off Loki lol) and I’m looking forward to playing his new chapter in life!

[@PleasantSims]

I love that! I'm always glad when Nervous can find happiness!

[@chloewilson100]

I thought her name was Circle for the longest time

[@hypercumstone44]

R Donovan same

[@Luca121195]

I just rewatched this and laughed so hard when you tried to pronounce Loki’s grandparents names 😂 I guess danish isn’t that easy for non-Danes 😂

[@anonguy1912]

14:20 - Nervous got his inheritance money. However, I feel so sad for him. I wonder what future holds for him... Poor Nervous😯

[@PleasantSims]

Me too. Poor guy. I'll make sure he gets that inheritance money when he makes his escape.

[@promeni9132]

I LOVE THE FLASHBACKS AND PICTURES YESSS

[@PleasantSims]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😀

[@hypercumstone44]

Sometimes I pair nervous and pascal, because nervous has a slight distaste on women

[@AkaiSan16]

arroganter Fels how do you know that??

[@robloxbitch6969]

I moved him out immediately as soon as I got the game and gave him a new home and new look 🤠

[@annachristina8233]

Yay! You finally updated for Strangetown. I was always interested in this family too. Nervous was one of my favorite Sims here as well!

[@PleasantSims]

He's the best! I can't wait to get him out of here though!

[@jennteal5265]

I call the Enigmatic Energizer the "Meth Lab" because let's be real, it looks like one!

[@PleasantSims]

LOL! It really does!

[@leslie2149]

I started calling it the "orgasmatron" because when used by sims with gold or higher aspiration they really seemed to enjoy it. A lot!

[@joandsarah77]

I made an Ubber hood and when I opened their house Nervous had a want to move out. I rarely ever see that want but it seemed rather pertinent. For some reason my sub-hood scripted events seem broken and nervous didn't stuff face or see roaches, but thanks for the tips I will have to look around for them. His aspiration is actually green Cindy. That is his need mood bar that is red. You need to fill a fear to get an aspiration failure. Throwing a party should do it -although who would come to a party at the Beakers I don't know lol. Thanks Cindy :) I really could not stand that big black box any longer. Pescados idea of decorating isn't mine lol.

[@PleasantSims]

Oh Geez! You're right Jo! I was totally looking at his mood bar. But he wasn't anywhere close to aspiration failure like he was supposed to be, so I'm not sure what happened with that scripted event. I think it must have been because he had a want fulfilled to become friends with Pascal when I was playing the Curious family. Oh well! I'm kind of glad he didn't!

[@koololdster]

OK. It's been 24 hours since I saw this and I am going to go deep here. So Nervous has zero bars in niceness. And that is explained by the fact that he was tortured and abused as a child. Rightly so! I've seen this in kids I work with. So Circe and Loki (or shall we say Circe & Jaime ;)) have zero niceness as well. Who is to say they didn't become that way but their horrible childhood? Perhaps they had abusive parents or lived through great trauma and turned out 'bad' more due to their environment than being born that way. But you deal with what is happening now and in the future. Maybe one or both (Jaime/Loki) will see the light and start the turn towards the good side. Maybe because Loki was bullied by jocks in high school, he lashes out at others. Just a thought (OK a deep thought). (And I am not spoiling anything about GoT. You can see the parallel. Right?)

[@PleasantSims]

Oh yeah, I definitely see the similarity. And I think you're right. I mean, they had to endure some trauma in their lives to turn out the way they did. I think it's a case of nature AND nurture that made them turn out this way. Only time will tell if they remain evil or change for the better!

[@scottlemay3386]

I'm glad you have so many of these for me to binge 😍

[@zeep9756]

[@PleasantSims]

Thanks Michaela! 💙💙

[@kiwigirl92]

Thank you for reminding me how amazing sims 2 is :)

[@kayleigh1991]

I forgot how dark sims 2 was

[@DisneyAndSpiritLover]

Gwrtheyrn is a Welsh name/word. Most likely came from "Nant Gwrtheyrn" (which I know). Nant Gwrtheyrn takes its name from Brenin Gwrtheyrn, a disgraced Kentish king who ruled ancient Britain early in the fifth century (thanks Google because I didn't know that!). I can't pronounce the tongue-rolling "r" sound and I speak Welsh!! Your best bet to attempt to pronounce it is Google Translate, but that stupid robot-man is hard to listen to let alone understand. :P Okay, back to the video!! :P I think Loki might come from Viking descent, those sound very Viking-ish names. Circe comes from Welsh/Irish and not sure on the other side.

[@PleasantSims]

Thanks Shannon! I was hoping someone would have some more info. I seriously doubt I could pronounce it properly, so I'll just leave it alone. Haha!

[@DisneyAndSpiritLover]

@@PleasantSims You're welcome! I can do a voice clip or something for the pronunciation but no guarantee it'll be any easier, LOL. There's a few Sims in TS2 (I think) that have Welsh ancestors but don't quote me on that. :P

[@courtneykelley6605]

Hiii!!! My Favorite families are: The Curious Family, The Smith Family,the Singles and Nervous Subject. I hate Loki, There was time when I played, Lazlo brings home Loki, he starts fighting with the other two, Pascal & Vidcund, he is very rude when he comes over.

[@PleasantSims]

Loki is terrible! So is Circe for that matter. I foresee a lot of drama in the 'hood with these two.

[@courtneykelley6605]

I don't think I ever had a problem with Circe. I want see you play the Smith Family PT # 9 is funny. Of the Curious brothers I really like Lazlo, I think Lazlo is funny, he is so outgoing and playful, I like the other two. =- )

[@shayoverton4220]

Now thinking about it, can you make Annie Howell? She was his girlfriend in the Sims PSP. I think it would be interesting.

[@PleasantSims]

Hi Moka! I won't do that because I am following the Maxis Storyline for The Sims 2. Maybe in another play-through. Lol

[@shayoverton4220]

I understand completely! I wonder who will be the lucky man or lady then

[@theceoofconcussions4441]

my favorite Strangetown premade is either Olive or Jenny Smith

[@PleasantSims]

I love Jenny too! I'm excited to get to the Smith Family! 💙

[@ApprenPlayer]

I played The Sims 2 in one megahood consists of an experiment that I was first learned from old Sims 2 blog years ago. I then extracted Belladonna Cove along those live in apartments to Family Bin. Once Belladonna Cove (as either Downtown District or Shopping District) is loaded through merging into a megahood as the households live in apartments got disappeared.

[@nejdalej]

Finally someone else who did this! I thought it was just me that did that x

[@shadowweaver3693]

If a Sim uses those machines with gold or platinum aspiration, they actually have positive effects and do useful things

[@soffboffkoff123]

Can you please make your videos longer? I really love your channel so when you post videos that are "only" 20 minutes long, they feel way too short for me, haha. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see you play all of the families in Strangetown (as well as continue play the ones in Pleasantview hehe)

[@PleasantSims]

Hi Sofia! These videos are shorter in Season 1 because we're only playing the scripted events and setting up the households to play their rounds. The following seasons will be longer, although there's always a shorter one from time to time depending on the events. 😃

[@gabsgzb]

Tip: in order to not affect the scripted events, you can't let olivia die before playing the beaker family

[@nuhaafuentes8296]

When I was a kid I used to call Circe ‘Circle’ 😂😂😂😂

[@SingingAudball]

I use to pronounce it “Circ”. Almost like Cindy but without the e at the end. I had no idea it was pronounced Circe lol

[@Shirako1]

I've been playing Strangetown and was on track to setting the foundation of Nervous and Pascal getting married together and raising their alien baby. But at some point, Nervous started getting Stockholm syndrome as he started working out more and both Loki and Nervous end up having a very lustful start due to their turn ons both being what each other is. And at some point he starts easing off Nervous and trains him and nurtures him to develop himself, but Nervous was getting engaged to Pascal and just moved in together. Everytime Loki happens to visit their house, Nervous and Loki can't help but to swoon over each other and one day Loki plants a kiss on Nervous while Pascal was around and Nervous jumps at making out with Loki causing the whole fallout of their relationship. Pascal having old wounds open again as he feels Loki always takes everything Pascal wants.

[@jennteal5265]

Circi and loki should go to prison but i just feel bad for nervous i think he would have a better life with olive but not really but he wont be lonely cause ophelia is there

[@PleasantSims]

Things will get better for him as soon as he escapes. Hmm. I wonder if Circe and Loki will ever get caught for what they're doing. Probably not because they have money to bribe people, but you never know!

[@hopen4fun]

I'm a new subscriber and a big fan already. May I ask how you got started making your Sims 2 videos? Keep up the great work! :)

[@PleasantSims]

Hi there! I honestly just started doing it as a hobby and a way to keep track of my complicated neighborhoods. I was originally tracking on my blog - just telling the Sims' stories so I could remember what happened in their lives. Video was even better because I could see the events in their lives happening instead of just still pictures. It turned out people really liked my play style and my channel started to grow, so I just kept going! Thanks so much for watching! 😃

[@hopen4fun]

Thank you so much for the response! Follow-up question, what software/camera setup do you use to make your awesome videos? Thanks again! :D

I found out that if Circe and Loki are aware that Nervous loses the lot, they will be furious with him.

[@benitahiestermann1186]

I've always had a soft spot for Nervous Subject and felt really bad for him... Every time I played the Beakers I move him out (mostly when the Beakers aren't around as if he's running away/escaping) And give him a better life FAR away from the Beakers. In past gameplays I have moved him into his own apartment/house or moved him in with Ophelia and Olive or if Olive has doed he owns the Specter house. Lovewise... I wait for him to roll a want regarding tgat Sometimes he stayed single and has a dog/cat or ended up with a townie or premade sim and had/adopted kids. (Once he ended up with Erin Beaker/Singles which I have no idea how that happened but it strangely worked out. 😅)

[@jacquelinelanda1084]

I don't remember a scriptd event. Where do you find it?

[@PleasantSims]

Hi Jacqueline! You just have to play the families in the correct order and the scripted events will play out. You don't have to do anything special. I think you can even play some of them out of order and you'll still get the events as long as you haven't done anything to change the households. For example, if you move Nervous in with the Curious brothers before you play the Beaker household, you won't get his scripted events, etc.

[@jacquelinelanda1084]

@@PleasantSims k, that's probably why I didn't notice events. I usually changed things around and played the way I wanted. However, I do remember retiring Olive at the beginning. Yeah, ok. I remember now. It's been so long since I played. I do learn alot by watching KZbin gamers play. I wish I would've thought about watching KZbin videos back then.
