I resurrected all the ancestral Sims in this neighborhood. I did not use the genie lamp to resurrect them, instead I used the Resurrect-O-Nomitron because I wanted these Sims to receive perfect resurrections. I relinked Diana, Alyssa, Jason, Catherine, Phillip, and Zachary through SimPE. In my game, Luis and Noriko Aspir are back together. I may have Victor and Elizabeth try for another baby. They taught Pauline her toddler skills. Natasha Una is working to earn gold talent badges in sewing and pottery. She is dating a townie Sim and she is working in the law enforcement career. Hannah and Issac Bell are doing great in their careers. They taught Daniel to study, but they may have more children later. Sharon is dating John Mole, who is now friends with Edward Contrary. Rick is improving his relationship with Edward and Opal, who taught him to study. Rick, who is working in the slacker career, is dating Violet and they had their first kiss. Violet is working in the Athletic career and Sophia and Marcel helped her with her homework.

Here is my "Desiderata is my favourite" comment even though Ive said it for every other world. John Mole is my favourite Desiderata sim, the idea of a grilled cheese townie makes me happy as well with Natasha. i usually get them married, but make sure you randomize the genetics in CAS because their first baby is UGLY AF

Haha Desiderata valley is the usual suburban neighbourhood but the Sims do have personality.

Hi @Westanime Sims, I didn't watch the whole video but would you happen to know why you cannot purchase items from Desiderata mall? There are electronics there, flowers, etc but you cannot purchase anything. The cashier's just stand there...

[@westanimesims]

Hi I don't think Desiderata Mall is a pre made build from the game. From the looks of it, the lot seems like they use elements of Open for Business to build. Someone may need to own the lot in order for it to work.

@@westanimesims oh ok. So I don't think I'd ever be able to send my sim and have them go shopping then 😕 Glad to know other people still play Sims 2.

[@westanimesims]

@@07ikkin I'm sure there are other base game ones that worked fine. Grocery stores, clothing and video game ones that come with base game works fine if you want to go shopping
