I would like to see the younger versions of Sims 2 inserted except for the Calientes. I see them coming from Strangetown. In the description of Pleasantview it states "some new faces" which to me indicates that the Calientes didn't grow up with Brandi, Don, Cassandra, Darren, etc. They didn't know the girls, so I see that as an indication that their parents and grandparents would not have been known in the community with the younger versions. I believe that they were complete transplants.

[@VioletKitty411]

Agreed...that's why I was hesitant about them. They appear on the eve of Bella's disappearance...and they are at the center of the scandal.

Love the idea of maybe adding younger PV members. It's something I did when I used to play Old Town. There was just something special seeing child Brandi and Skip playing together 😢 Always loved your content and this Old Town/Get a Life is 👌👌

[@VioletKitty411]

I did it with my TS4 Old Town revival. Likewise, I imagine that Brandi and Skip were childhood sweethearts. Thank you so much!

I like the idea of adding S2 families like the Oldies. There are already so many families to play in your Old Town I'd understand if you didn't add any extras. I loved house in S1. It looks much better in S2, and even better with the new siding. Very nice shade of green. I had to laugh at Romance Sim Michael having twin beds. I guess he can always woohoo in a dressing booth or something. You could put a hammock on his patio. Or get him a car unless you are keeping Old Town car-free as it was in S1.

I'm going to do quite a few, but I did decide not to include the Calientes as they do not appear in Pleasant View until the eve of Bella's disappearance per the storyline

Wow! Two videos in one day? That's a record. What a cute little bachelor pad for Michael. You made him a Romance sim? Interesting choice. TS2 had him as a Knowledge sim as a ghost. I think inserting younger versions of the Sims 2 Pleasantview sims would be a great idea. If I do this hood, I'd add in the Oldies (Herb, Coral, Mary Sue), Brokes (Flat, Flo, Ruby, Skip, Buck, Mary Lou, Trigger, Susie), Calientes (Flamenco, Nigaht, Tango, Dina, Nina), Lotharios (Nicolo, Adriana, Don) Dreamers (Davis, Delilah, Darren), Matlapins (Omar, Mariana, Darleen) and Langeraks (Dustin, Illiana, Parker, Kaylynn and Zelda Mae). I mean, if Brandi's not even born yet, Darren and Darleen must be kids or unborn too, right? And in my own version (when this eventually comes out) I'll in Roger and Peggy Jones; Tutorial Jane's parents, while making Tutorial Joe the brother of Brandi.

It's rare but they were easier to make than a lot of my videos. I'd have to double check, but I think TS2 didn't assign his ghost any personality points, but the Libra skews heavily romance to me. So I thought I'd do Oldie. Mary-Sue as a child. Brokes I was just thinking Flat and Flo with a toddler Ruby. (side note in my TS4 Ruby is dating the eldest Hatfield boy, whose mom is also Ruby). Calientes, just Flamenco and Nighat, with the twins as children. Lothario, Don as a child. Dreamers with Darren as a teen (as I see him a few years older than Cass) Matlapins (same). Above was mostly what I have in my TS4 revival save. I did make Ruby a teen and Skip an infant there. Hadn't considered the Langeraks PS you should also make Roger Jones related to Edward as maybe uncle or even father?

@@VioletKitty411 Oh wow. Those do sound like fun ideas. I especially love the Roger being related to Edward idea. I'd make them brothers myself. So Jane is now cousins to Edward's boy, Bobby!
