Everything we know about the Pleasant Family// Turning The Sims 4 into The Sims 2

Anyone else missing the lore in The Sims 2? The Pleasant family from the sims 2 were one of the most infamous! So I’ll be doing a little series where I tell you the story of that Family whilst bringing them into the Sims 4.
I am currently pre recording content for a trip I’m taking this summer so that’s why the hair colours are not from the most recent patch update!
For this video, I decided to recreate the Pleasant Family and their home in the sims 4. During the video I’ll be talking about the history of the Pleasant family, from the very first family in the Sims 1 plus the early beginnings in The Sims 3, right the way through to the Sims 2.
If like me, you enjoy learning about the families history in the Sims, then you might like this video!
The Pleasant family are certainly an interesting one! You have the marriage problems between Mary-sue and Daniel, plus the rivalry between Lilith and Angela!
I’ll be inserting a few cheeky clips form The Sims 2 game as I make this video too, so hopefully some of you will find that enjoyable!

Gotta feel sorry for Lilith, it really does seem that not only did her family screw her over, but so did the devs! I don't think she's the "evil" girl they make her out to be, I think she's neglected and sad and a victim of favouritism. Idk what Daniel and Mary-Sue were thinking. Who has twins and decides that they're going to treat one better than the other? I think Dirk was possibly the first person to treat her like a human being, rather than the "evil twin", and that's how they fell in love. Her family probably laugh at her relationship under the impression that either it won't last or Dirk is just dating Lilith out of pity. As for Angela, I wonder if she's tired of being Miss Popularity and Miss Perfect and is dating Dustin because he brings some much-needed drama into her life. Does Lilith know that her sister is dating Dustin? We already know that Daniel doesn't like Dustin but does he actually know that his perfect, favourite daughter is head over heels for him? Does Angela keep belittling and fighting with Lilith to preserve her perfect persona to her parents, fearful of what they might think if they found out? ALL THIS STORYTELLING I COULD STRAIGHT UP WRITE A NOVEL

[@mariatsimberoudi465]

than Write a novel about the plesent family

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

That's really good storytelling! My theory for The Pleasant Twins is similar. I think Lilith hated her sister and blamed her for being neglected at first, thus the fighting between them but Lilith realized that she doesn't really hate her sister Angela and is just really frustrated at the situation, the girls make amends with each other and become closer than ever before!

[@venus9312]

i started playing the sims 4 when it came out. it was my first sims game, i never knew you were meant to play with the townies. they felt so shallow. looking at the sims 2 makes me want to get the game!

[@kittypink]

Ack! Me too. But I'm having so much trouble getting it!

[@dana94a]

Sims 4 definitely has shallow townies. In Sims 2, relationships are on each side and not mutual like sims 3 and 4. Sims 2 had a lot more story and life with their townies. Way more fun to play. They had established memories and relationships and wants. And like she mentioned in the video when you load in, specific events happened! It was so much fun

[@MashAllahMari]

Yeah Sims 2 was amazing actually when sims 3 came out I was so disappointed because I loved sims 2 so much.. sims 4 has a great cas and graphics but I still miss sims 2

[@marsawgirl]

Me too but always wanted to play now I love it for my imagination

[@rethabiledenzel2647]

Same

[@purplexninjamom]

I always played Lilith and Angela proactively. I would make them be friends again and try to make it up to Lilith.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I have a theory that Angela once she finds out the truth about her parents' favoritism and her sister Lilith being neglected, tries to make amends with her sister only for Lilith to brush her off at first, then she starts to realize that she doesn't really hate her sister and that she was just really frustrated about the situation hence her bad relationship with her parents. The twins then confront their parents likely while they're wallowing in their marital issues and Daniel's cheating and after they move out stopped talking to them for a while. Then Lilith and Angela give their parents an ultimatum, either they get therapy, apologize for being bad parents and be better people or they stop talking to them indefinitely. All while getting married to their boyfriends and starting their own families, and are now closer than ever.

[@Miss_Torture]

Opposites attract! I always played it that the girls and their boyfriends mellow each other out as they grow/get married, Angela becoming less snotty and more grounded, inspiring Dustin to do better and Lilith helping Dirk break a few rules and not be so shy as he pushes her to do better! The end results are 4 well-adjusted, happy, rounded adults and the girls becoming close as they realise their issues with each other stemmed from their parents troubled marriage and not really being there. I have Mary-Sue and Daniel work on their marriage after she catches him cheating with this being a big trigger for the girls opening their eyes and having a healthier view on familial/romantic relationships

[@NoThankYou255]

I never played sims 2, but I played the pleasants in ts4, where I got Lilith try to get a happy ending away from her family and with her sweetheart Dirk. But then Angela had a friend killed Lilith so that she could seduce Dirk after divorcing Dustin Broke. And then, Dirk left Angela in the altar and Dustin will get his revenge on Angela and her new family after not being allowed to see his sons for a very long time! Dustin was in the top of the criminal career at that point and one of his sons by Angela (they have two) was just as evil as him while the other was sent for adoption by Ripp Grunt...in my game anyways ...

[@orbitalpudding1946]

Always figured Lilith just took it out on her sister all the time to how she's treated and caused their relationship strain. I mean, Angela being a good sim I feel like it'd go against her traits to go about jilting her sister and being nasty to initiate it. Probably did her best to make sure her twin didn't feel like she was the black sheep of the family, but there was just too much going on. If anything blame it on the parents. Probably didn't plan to have twins at all and ended up (dunno how you ignore your child that's a twin). Feel like Mary-sue probably didn't want to have kids to begin with because that means less time to get promoted. The strain on their marriage and then having two kids while somehow not having the energy to put into their second child like the other somehow. Mary-sue seems like the type ready to go back to work after the a day or two after giving birth not wanting to waste any moment that might cause her to not get promoted and move up the ladder while Daniel had to watch the kids or probably had to hire a babysitter because he works as well. Pretty sure Angela genuinely loves Dustin and doesn't expect so much out of her like her parents. High grades, up keeping a good reputation, staying out of trouble. See Daniel hates him a lot probably thinking he'll be a bad influence on Angela. Angela has pressure put on her to succeed in life to what they want her to do rather than what she wants.

[@lovelygirly06]

Nice job! When I used to play the sims 2 I played this family a few times and the dreamer family too. I turned the bad twin good and made the have a good relationship with their parents. As for the dad I may have took it further and the maid became pregnant. 😬 then he got kicked out and moved in with his mistress maid. 😳so much fun.

[@SpottableBus]

I didn't think you could get a sim pregnant in sims 2 if they aren't part of the household you're playing.

[@judialbert1349]

I think the attraction to the mismatched boyfriends is just a matter of opposites attracting, and it gives the player the option to get them together with their more appropriate mate if they want to.

[@rabidpinkbunny8915]

OK... I have to ask... who the hell has twins and decides from the beginning that they're going to treat one well and the other like crap? Did Lilith bite her mom's boob while nursing or something? Did they have some kind of weird superstition around twins and decide that she was the "evil" one? What could a baby do that would make her parents hold a grudge against her for the rest of her life? Or maybe they're doing some kind of twisted social experiment with their own kids?

[@isabelladeloucas6063]

Yo can see in the memories of the sims 2 the beginning rivalry because Angela had all the attention and Lilith was left behind making her grew up badly and triggering her bad behavior.

[@juliaboskamp9666]

the parent can be narcissistic. narcissists often do that with their own children

[@Banana34598]

ITs the narcissistic family formula. One child is the golden child for the parent to put all of their good traits and hopes and dreams onto… The other child is the scapegoat to be used as the problem child and gives the adults the ability to blame a child for their dysfunction. The longer that the parents beat these roles into the children… The more that the children exhibit the behaviors suited to their roles. It’s never the child’s fault which role they’re assigned- it’s literally the only way that their family knows how to function. Scapegoats often are able to get out once they become adults… But they typically have to cut off their entire family because the family refuses to ever stop scapegoating them

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

@@Banana34598 So true, and sometimes the golden child escapes too and mends their relationship with their siblings and then both garbage parents are left with no children and only have themselves to blame for that. Sadly though, this isn't always the case. In fact, more often golden children, especially if they're raised by narcissists will grow up to be narcissistic in their own right. Not only that, but total screwups, while the scapegoat children more often than not make a clean break and do well for themselves, no thanks to their toxic family. Honestly if you're going to have a golden child, then just have the one child and no more after that. And if you're going to pit children against each other, then you shouldn't be having children at all.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

​@@juliaboskamp9666 Daniel, I'm honestly not sure. Maybe. I think he just shouldn't have gotten married to Mary Sue because married life clearly wasn't for him. Not only that, but he's too selfish to end the relationship or talk to Mary Sue when he was getting frustrated in his marriage. I don't think Mary Sue is. I think she was just so obsessed with her work that she forgot about her family, especially Lilith. I can't say no abuse happened here though because neglect is a form of abuse and spoiling a child too much can also count as abuse. I don't know I just feel like The Pleasant Family really need some serious help to unpack all of their issues, especially Angela and Lilith.

[@kittypink]

I did the same thing! But things got crazy fast as Daniel and Mary-Sue are dead, as well as Darren Dreamer, Mortimer Goth, Cassandra Goth, Jennifer Burb, and Nina Caliente. And don't get me started on population control.

[@notafangirl2099]

I genuinely love these sims 2 to sims 4 videos. You have no idea how much it makes my day. I played sims 2 all day throughout my childhood, (couldn't download/afford sims 3 even when it came out so I stayed with sims 2 even all those years.) And now I'm in med school, playing sims 4 every chance I get (very rare free times) and I really miss sims 2's storylines and gameplays!

[@t00thie]

Me playing the broke family in ts4. Angela is pregnant by Dustin and got kicked out by her parents so she’s living with the broke family. Angela had a miscarriage and apparently the game generated the name Harold or smth and now she’s pregnant again. Dustin is a druggie addicted to weed and is currently a drug dealer to help make money. 😮‍💨😭 so much drama

[@mothxboy]

I love your videos! Your intro and just your general tone really makes it feel like I'm just listening to a friend, and that's the best feeling

[@indiafox5786]

I realized what makes you let's play different. There's no game sound. I didn't realize it until you mentioned it because I was enjoying the series so much 🖤

[@prettypoisonsimming]

They turned out really beautiful!! Great job!!

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

As much as I find The Pleasant Family fascinating, I feel like Daniel and Mary Sue not only failed their daughters for pitting them against each other, but they also failed each other. Daniel for cheating obviously, and Mary Sue for putting her work over her family. I think Mary Sue had good intentions and wanted her family to be successful, but she clearly forgotten what was really important. As for Angela and Lilith, I have a theory that Angela and Lilith only fought because Lilith hated her sister and blamed her for being neglected and once she finds out the truth about her parents' favoritism and her sister Lilith being neglected, Angela tries to make amends with her sister only for Lilith to brush her off at first, then she starts to realize that she doesn't really hate her sister and that she was just really frustrated about the situation hence her bad relationship with her parents. The twins then confront their parents likely while they're wallowing in their marital issues and Daniel's cheating and after they move out stopped talking to them for a while. Then Lilith and Angela give their parents an ultimatum, either they get therapy, apologize for being bad parents and be better people or they stop talking to them indefinitely. All while getting married to their boyfriends and starting their own families, and are now closer than ever. I'd like to think that at least Mary Sue realized that she failed her daughters and desperately wanted to make amends with them because she doesn't want to lose them. My jury's out on Daniel however since married life never suited him. I'd like to think he'd at least try to make amends with his daughters too. Mary Sue on the other hand, who knows?

[@TheAsylumchild]

I think Angela and Lilith Pleasant are in Discover University because one of my sims is best friends with Angela and is dating Lilith.

[@casebycase_904]

Did the parents come back too? I wonder how their marriage turned out

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

​@@casebycase_904 It's just Angela and Lilith. Maybe they cut ties with their parents.

[@asilver079]

Please make this a let's play!

[@jayjaymoonlightgaming9924]

I used to play with this family all the time!

[@spazlady2002]

I cannot get enough of your videos. Your commentary is just perfect.

[@GEJ310]

Dirk is now famous in get famous, maybe he just ditched her 😓

[@jarjarbonks7803]

Sims 4 is the first (and so far only) Sims game I've played. I didn't even know the other games had lore.

[@jennyjustjenny7634]

I made them in Sims 4, with mods and good planning I now have the Broke, Pleasant and Dreamer Family with all their problems and connections! Love them. 😊 Actually Dustin is a dealer - he supplies all the pills for my university roommates - aand Lilith is kinda alright with her mom right now :)

[@SyntheticGoth]

Love this! Looking forward to your other Sims 2 makeovers. 😊

[@yermum1396]

WOOP WOOP! New video! Sure it’ll be great!!!!!

[@Yoffuu]

I thought chronologically sims 3 was first in the timeline? Because that's where Bella is a child and before she married Mortimer.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Some of the worlds in the Sims 3 are set into the future and Sunlit Tides is one of them.

[@Daniel28021991]

One of my fav. Family in the Sims.

[@snarkbotanya6557]

I've always seen the Dustin/Angela and Dirk/Lilith ships as revealing something about the sisters' characters. Angela could be into Dustin for a few reasons: maybe she secretly craves some of the rebellion her sister indulges in, or maybe she sees all the bad shit Dustin is caught up in and has I Can Fix Him syndrome. LIlith, meanwhile, desperately craves the love and acceptance she was denied as a child, and having a "good egg" like Dirk want to be with *her* is validating in a way that a relationship with Dustin could never be. Incidentally, there's a bit more of a random element to the attraction thing than you really mention here. It's entirely possible that Lilith will be more attracted to Dirk than Dustin depending on what Turn-Ons and Turn-Off she rolls.

[@nessyralston2050]

This was amazing

[@soapchick87]

How have I just found your channel? Love your content!

[@tarruvi]

The timeline for the series goes from TS3 > TS1 > TS2. The Pleasant couple is WAY too far back to be in TS3, a smallish-big continuity error. :/ If I were to place TS4 anywhere in the timeline, I would have placed it after TS2. The alternate timeline just doesn’t do it for me, so I have started on a complete rebuild for the Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, and Newcrest worlds. To scrap the townies, make them fit 10-20 years after TS2, and keep the new townies as fresh faces.

[@crimsoncobra780]

Have you done the entire history of Don Lothario yet? If not then that would be fun to watch but if you already have I can’t find it lol

[@bibidanaher2355]

I've never played the Sims 2 and can't unfortunately cuz it's not on ea rn. But I love the game, and it's a pity I never got to play it. The lore and gameplay sounds amazing tho!

[@eagefrien4142]

I am slowly being convinced to by sims 2 I JUST bought the sims 3 and now I want 2 as well! It looks so fun and neat

[@junetta_aep_breaccglas]

played sims 2 and my god it has so much personality than Sims 3 and Sims 4 it's _almost_ disappointing with the sequels even the features are great with the newer games but I wish they put their love into the games 😔😔

[@debbsrebornnursery]

Lilith n Angela pleasant are in Sims 4 already

[@Shiba_Draws]

I never knew this about Lilith, wow,, now I definitely want to use her and stuff in the Game. I relate to her quite a lot, my younger brother gets All the atention, even has a computer (Which is what I use to play the sims on). And her name is literally demon?:(

[@samas8404]

please create other sims from sims 2 in sims 4. i’d love to see them become more advanced with sims 4’s better creating features

[@theravyneffect3610]

Did you add this family to the gallery? I'd be really interested to download them and check them out. :)

[@cinnisims8448]

Are you going to upload these families and homes to Gallery?

[@ritalino9973]

Sims 2 had a story behind sims life more than four that why I kinda still play Sims 2 more

[@sprinklewithcards]

Binge watching

[@mayumiokawara4057]

Do you will have a save file with all of the sims 2 families?

[@yermum1396]

Early squad?🤨

[@brinleybrunner5831]

Isn’t there two versions on Angela and lithest? In the get famous and university?

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

No. Just Angela and Lilith in Discover University. The Pleasant Family are also on the gallery.

[@ryanwortham1991]

angela and lilith are in discover university

[@debbsrebornnursery]

Yes I agree they should be continuing the all the story lines pleansant twins should be starting the next generation with there boys friends n the goth family the next generation with Cassandra

[@unforgettablefrieda]

I would say first, but I am not first anywho, love your vids ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Verexlyon]

Didn't play in previous games, but after reading lore and watching videos, decided to add parents (in their ghost phorms) and other ancestors to some families. With Goths-Crulmplebottoms-Bachelors and Lotharios there were no problems, though with Caliente the were no possibilities to add Flamenco as a father to Nina and Dina - they could be only "fiancees" even though Katrina could be his wife. I gave up and begin with the Pleasants.I thaught, why create parents if they already exist, so I downloaded Pleasant family, left only parents and add them to already existing as TS4 characters Pleasant twins. After successfully made Mary-Sue as mother of twins and spouse of Daniel, again, stupid program propose that twins can be only fiancees of Daniel and not daughters. Tried with ID, nothing. Which is completely stupid.

[@littlepretty3029]

five

[@gucciiipeppa5438]

I thought sims 3 would’ve been first. Bella goth was a kid in sims 3

Please make this a Lp

[@gucciiipeppa5438]

Pleasant? Yeah right

[@ironman-endgame]

The Sims 3 takes place before The Sims 1

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Sunset Valley certainly does, but the other worlds are set in different places and different timelines, especially the downloadable worlds. At least that what I read on the wiki.

[@leongamez7896]

ooop im kinda early
