Early Pleasantview | Pleasantview Set 10 Years Earlier! | Sims 2 Custom Neighbourhood Overview

[@friendly4465]

This is what Sims 4 should have been, lore-wise... All of that lost potential, I swear. What an amazingly in depth custom neighborhood, I'm nearly in tears.

[@Nerdyth]

I do wish that 4 had some more depth and lore built into the game, it’s such a wasted opportunity as you say 😞

[@PlaystationSimmer]

The detail and storytelling that went into this hood is insane. The creator did their homework with the family bios and histories, and they did such a stellar job. 😊

[@Nerdyth]

They really did such an amazing job with it! 🥰❤️

[@juliusma4880]

Brandi's new bio makes so much sense to me, because in my Pleasantview, Brandi's pre-destined hobby is Arts & Crafts and I have her perfect her sewing skill so she can help the household's financial situation!

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Cornelia and Agnes live with Hecuba and Menelaus the cats?! Oh my goodness, that's such a cute detail. And according to the descriptions online, Tucker the dog lives with John, Jenifer and Tiffany. I love Tucker!

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Toddler Angela dreams of being a fish. That's adorable!

[@guto2849]

OMG!!! GutoSimmer here👋☺ I don't know how i missed your video, but it made my day!! I love seeing how people interpret my hood, sometimes i wish i didn't create the neighborhood just to go around and discover all the little details lol! I know i have a bias, but i would love to see a let's play, it would be really fun see you explore this Pleasantview and all it's juicy drama 😂💖

[@Nerdyth]

Omg hi! 👋🏻 thank you so much for watching! You did such an amazing job with this hood! You have no idea how tempted I am to start a full LP in this hood because I am obsessed and want to save them from the horrors of the future 🙌🏻❤️😂

[@missplayer30]

For some reason, the Lothario-Caliente reminds me of the Sims 4 one, except it's Flamenco instead of Katrina/Nighat. Actually, it would've been closer to Sims 4 if it was Nighat instead of Flamenco. By the way, including Kaylynn's entire family from the Sims 3 is one of the best thing here. I hope they make a future Pleasantview that follows closely the Beacon bay thing from Sims 3.

[@Nerdyth]

Yeah it is quite similar! It also makes me feel a little strange knowing that Don, Nina and Dina were raised together in their teen years considering what they’re like as adults 😂 a future Pleasantview would be such a fun take on it too, especially if it tried to integrate some Sims 3 lore too!

[@James-fl6qk]

After seeing your video, I downloaded the hood and I love it! It’s so good and the lore is just perfect. There are also more twists in relationships which are so fun to discover. I play with a wants-based system and still I’ve had the exact same things happen: i.e, Bella being abducted, Cornelia dying in a house fire. I had one twist which was Darren dying in a fire instead of Darleen! It’s so good. Can’t recommend it enough so thank you for the video!

[@Nerdyth]

Oh wow! That’s so interesting that playing wants based you still get the same outcome that the original hood had! I wonder how the Dreamer family will fare without Darren instead of Darleen, I imagine Dirk wouldn’t have as bad of a childhood because Darleen would keep things together a bit more 🤔

[@James-fl6qk]

@@Nerdyth you’re right! Dirk seems more settled than he was in the original! But a shocking twist… Mortimer and Darleen are a couple! 😳 so I wonder what will become of Dina (if she doesn’t drive Darleen out of town 😂)

[@Nerdyth]

@@James-fl6qk ooh Mortimer and Darleen are something I’d never have thought of before! I wonder if Dina will set another fire for her 👀😂

[@aspirationfailure6100]

One of my favorite hoods along with their early strangetown!! I decided to bring nighat back to life in my game and give her the time she deserves with Nina and Dina, also Joe T newbie is the tutorial sim from the sims 2 tutorial and has similar ancestors to Brandi

[@Nerdyth]

I haven’t actually checked out Early Strangetown yet! That one is on my list 🤓 Nighat deserves the best 👏🏻 aw I didn’t realise he was the tutorial sim! I’ve always ignored I’m tutorials in games, but I really appreciate the fact the creator added them into this hood! It’s a fun little Easter egg

[@Jatzette]

What a fabulous hood. Thank you for your review. Downloading now…

[@Nerdyth]

Ooh enjoy!

[@MOLPESIMS]

I've rarely played with this neighbourhood (Strangeville was my neighbourhood), but now, when I understand English and I can read all the bios and description, I love it! There is so much going on there!

[@Nerdyth]

Aw it’s got such fun storyline! I love Strangetown too though, that’s my second favourite to play! Purely for the aliens 👽

[@trplowlife4536]

The Zelda Mae and Dustin drama is HILARIOUS to me because the last time I played in Sunset Valley in Sims 3, I had them have an affair behind Iliana’s back 😬😬😂

[@Nerdyth]

Oh wow! You and the creator must have a sixth sense for hidden lore 👀😂

[@justindisbrow9921]

Daniel: the langeraks are such hood lovers Kalynn: wait- plural? Daniel: You're brother was really good to tbh Kalynn: bro wtf?!

[@aticoo]

I would love to see someone make a lets play with this hood. When I play it alone I'm too afraid Im gonna ruin entire story 😅

[@Nerdyth]

This would be such a fun let’s play! I really want to play this hood but I can’t decide if I want to try and make this as close to the canon start of Pleasantview, or treat it as an alternate universe 🤔

[@gdust6579]

@@Nerdyth id like to see an alt reality where Bella wasnt abducted and where Skip doesnt die! and Bella gossips to Cassandra about Dons affairs

[@AriaFaeYT]

Wow, so much effort has been put into this with all the bios etc!! Amazing, I love the little pieces of lore and extra info players add in to fill any gaps or to make things make a bit more sense! Skip being a professional swimmer is amazing 😅 I do miss this game, so I really enjoy your videos on sims 2 🥰💖

[@Nerdyth]

It’s such a well done custom neighbourhood! I can’t even imagine the amount of hours it would have taken them to complete it 😱🤯 I love him being a professional swimmer so much! 😂 thank you so much Aria! 🥰

[@JungleRodion]

Omg! I haven’t played sims 2 ever since sims 3 came out, so many flashbacks! Very cool idea of creators to merge the two in such cute way. Thanks for sharing!

[@Nerdyth]

Glad you like them!

[@alyson_l27]

It's so upsetting, the Pleasant family, Angela has a ton of gift and Lilith one. Lol

[@Nerdyth]

I always feel so sorry for Lilith 😭💔

[@polinamuromova4213]

Love your energy! this kind of sims 2 video brings me back to my early childhood. Girl you are amazing!

[@Nerdyth]

Aw thank you so much! That’s made my entire day 🥰❤️

[@OneGirlGames]

Oh this is awesome, what a great hood! Although maybe it's my hormones but it is bittersweet seeing all the families happily together before all the deaths/Bella abduction

[@Nerdyth]

I definitely get where you’re coming from! When I was looking through all the families all I could think of was that “honey you got a big storm coming” meme 😂😭 thank you for watching G!

[@overconnect]

I'd love to see you play through this. Is that greedy of me - to want two Pleasantview series? (yes)

[@Nerdyth]

Oh my gosh don’t tempt me I’m so close to doing it! 😂

[@danielbray5896]

13:55. Oh how the turn tables; what a twist

[@Nerdyth]

I love it 🙌🏻

[@ralkimestroest1965]

I like the idea of playing this and kind of causing an alternate route for the Main game

[@Nerdyth]

I think it sounds super fun!

[@ralkimestroest1965]

@@Nerdyth I think so too! I downloaded it and am setting it up now, but did you see that the creator also made an Early Strangetown too?

[@Nerdyth]

@@ralkimestroest1965 ooh have fun 🥰 yes! I really want to take a look at early Strangetown too!

[@dmckim3174]

Please do a let's play, I think that it would be so fun seeing how things evolve even if they are slightly different than the original.

[@Nerdyth]

I’m so tempted! 😂

[@remremiya]

I thought Nina and Dina were supposed to come to Pleasantview "recently" in the original version, so I expected they won't be included in this neighbourhood - over 10 years doesn't sound "recent" hmmm

[@Nerdyth]

Yeah I’m the description of original PV it says that the Calientes arrived on the eve of Bella’s disappearance, so personally I imagine that they would have arrived after the death of Michael rather than being here as teens. If Mortimer knew them as teenagers too it would make the whole situation a little more seedy imo 😂

[@dreamielynn1264]

Ooh I'd love Daniel and Parker having a fling. I can see him being bi or pan or Omni or something like that

[@Nerdyth]

I think it would be such a fun turn of events!

[@mollyblackmer6460]

I love your videos!! Keep up the good work!!

[@Nerdyth]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy them 🥰❤️

[@ZoraidaScope]

The neighborhood looks so good!

[@ThisFatFunnyLife]

I love the concept of this but I have questions. Of course everyone can have their interpretations, like the irony of Skip being a professional swimmer and then drowning in a pool, that is chef kiss. But I thought I read a thing where Skip was a Romance Sim and not a Popularity. I'm not sure how much of that was based off lore vs actual facts because I'm only going off memory. It was in a Plumbella video once and I fell down the rabbit hole lol. I think the Bella Goth and Skip Broke love affair was just conspiracy not fact but that Skip was a Romance Sim maybe was fact? I dunno. The idea of this hood does sound fun and curious how it'll play out in your game :)

[@Nerdyth]

Skip being a professional swimmer honestly is the best thing about this neighbourhood 😂 oh I’m not sure if he’s a romance sim or not 🤔 I’ve never had a save where he was alive. That sounds like a rabbit hole I’d like to fall down though so I’m definitely going to carry out some research! 🧐 though I do remember there being 2 Skip Brokes in the game files, so maybe this one is an imposter 😱

[@Jatzette]

Because there are two Skips in the game files, one was Popularity and one was Romance. I think the resurrect-able one in the clean hoods is Romance, but either are true to the lore. (There are similarly 2 Darleen Dreamers and 2 Michael Bachelors, with only one of each resurrect-able in clean hoods. I don’t remember their aspirations without the wiki - I think Darleen is family resurrect-able and fortune alt. Michael’s resurrect-able is Popularity.

[@ThisFatFunnyLife]

@@Jatzette I do remember the two skips but I didn't know about the other one being a Popularity Sim, that's interesting to know.

[@andrescuevas9831]

What happened with the Goth house ? You didn’t look how it looks and their bios, Bella, Mortimer and Cassandra. I wanted to see them too

[@Nerdyth]

With these videos I only showcase a few of the houses rather than all of them. If you’re interested though I could do a part two 🥰

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

It hasn't escaped my notice that Cassandra is a teenager and Mary Sue is an adult in this hood. Part of me wonders... has Mary Sue babysat Cassandra when the former was a teen and the latter was a child?

[@Nerdyth]

Ooh that’s a super cool theory!

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

@@Nerdyth This could apply for vanilla pleasentview too; given the large age gap the two of them have.

@@Nerdyth Oh dear, I have whole Wiki fanon pages dedicated to that xDDD Let me list them here: - Consort and Bella (they have 2 daighters between them) - General Buzz and Lola - Antonio and Erin (they have 2 sons between them) - Nervous and Kristen (1 kid from them) - Kent and Lazlo (they adopted 2 kids) - Mortimer and Titania - Brandi and Joe (the one from the tutorial) - Mary Sue and Darren (2 daughters between them) Cass has a child, she and Don broke up. Dina has like 6 kids from 3 different dudes and is serious with no one. Olive had 3 kids with a post partem Ichabod xDD. Loki and Circe had a daughter of their own, Jenny and PT9 had another one Most of the other canon relations stayed together, besides Juliette getting with Mercutio and breaking up with Romeo, but Dustin stepped out on Angela with Lilith and they're FRIENDS now, so that's going to be a train wreck xDD Ophelia and Johnny got engaged while they're still teens and have a son.
