The Sims 2: Let's Play Pleasantview | Ep12 | The Dreamers (Round 1)

[@leah5580]

Sims 2 could definitely do with a "show off baby" and a "ask to just be friends" interaction such as those in 4.

[@F1fan4eva]

Leah haha... It's a thing now! Thanks to awesome modders!

[@vanyadolly]

Sims can hand the baby to each other and talk to a baby someone else is holding. It's really cute when kids say hello to their baby siblings while their parents are holding them.

[@sgtjohnson]

Sims 3 I think has ask to just friends

[@Johanna77777-z]

I would like a breakup option! I feel it's so unrealistic to just go "hey, let's be friends" and the other person just smiles and nods. That had only happened to me ONCE in my life and I have ended a lot of relationships

[@Johanna77777-z]

But I do agree it's awkward to break up by flaunting a new relationship with in front of the other one.

[@michaelyn7901]

Darren and Brandi are actually a really good pairing! I never thought of putting them together

[@PleasantSims]

They are perfect together! Both of them have been married before and lost their spouses, so I like to think they can understand and comfort each other.

[@PleasantSims]

Yes, I agree!!

[@ApprenPlayer]

In my game, neither Brandi and Darren are married. Brandi remained as a widowed mother until she aged to elder when I last played in March 2015. The Dreamers have never adopted a pet.

[@PleasantSims]

I love how everyone plays differently. :)

[@3rica315]

In mine surpriseingly Brandi married don because Nina died from starving after to long of a wedding she died before I could feed her and she was pregnant and Dina is friends because she caught don cheating but she’s single because motamir died of old age kaylayn is w/ danial and Cassandra is with Darren

[@alyagnes]

Darren proposed Brandi in the exact same spot Dina proposed Brandi in my game. It's VERY unexpected to make a ex-sugar baby date the poorest person in the neighborhood, but they have 3 bolts and get along super well.

[@PleasantSims]

Ah! I love that! It's so interesting how different each playthrough can be! 😃

[@alyagnes]

It is! I love how we start with the same characters but end up with such different stories

[@PleasantSims]

It makes the replay value so incredible, too. I've played the Pleasantview story a dozen different ways and it's always new and fun!

[@ravenID429]

Lol I’m gonna put them together too

[@LateDogFoodYT]

I'm super late to the party but I love Cassandra cheating on Don for a change 😂 poor Brandi though

[@iriscardenas9702]

Wearing white to a wedding is definitely something Nina would do 😂

[@sarahsampson175]

I love that Brandi is able to find love after the death of her former husband! Also that their two sons Dirk and Dustin can be step brothers and that Darren doesn’t have to be alone anymore. He now can help raise beau and Bobby :)

[@PleasantSims]

It worked out so perfectly for the two families. I love that they merged into one! :)

[@arielzucker4101]

Dustin is going to come back form collage so confused lol XD. Brandy is going to have to fill him in on the stuff that happened while he was away.

[@PleasantSims]

That's the truth! :)

[@Simpuramafampark]

i love the in-universe implication that darren had to sell off some things to pay for their wedding. bless his heart

[@janiceowens6202]

There was nothing wrong with the cheap pet food bowl. The kitty doesn't like to eat out of it though because it's finicky and finicky pets only like to eat out of the expensive pet bowls. :) It will literally wait until it's starving to death to eat and thus that pop up will come up constantly.

[@PleasantSims]

Oh I see! I thought it was the oft-reported pet food bowl bug. I didn't even pay attention to the cat being finicky. Thanks!

[@crowleybobby4198]

plot twist: dirk caused the fire that killed her

[@PleasantSims]

Oh man! I hope not! But that would explain why she's so mad at him all the time.

[@3rica315]

I don’t think so... maybe?!

[@taylor1598]

Maybe he was trying to cook and accidentally started a fire 🔥

[@jake-amirblumenfeldwitz6068]

Taylor likely tbh 😆

[@mayorspunion]

that was also my guess!

[@snowpocalypse69]

Ghosts will get angry if someone new gets added to the family after they die, but considering that Darleen gave birth to Dirk I can't imagine he joined the family after her death. It may be a developer oversight - I know there are two Darleens in vanilla Pleasantview and the one in the urn might not be the one that remembers Dirk.

[@ravenID429]

Yep this Darleen has no connections to her “family”

[@pixelwitch8014]

13:42 It's so creepy that Darren and Dirk are inside, in the kitchen, and the ghost is drifting around outside, but no one notices it. 37:34 I really like the fact that you combined the two households. It makes sense - financially - and also because they really do get along and like each other. It's really nice that they found happiness with each other. 40:35 I so enjoyed it! The last few episodes have been eventful!

[@AymanTravelTransport]

There should be a mod which adds the option to 'ask to just be friends' like they have in the Sims 4, which would remove any romantic aspects (i.e. "crush" and "love") of the relationship between sims without their relationship scores taking a hit, but then again, you could always use SimPE to do that!

[@PleasantSims]

Hi Ayman! Yes, there is a mod for that but I think it was conflicting with some of my other mods when I tried to use it (way after this episode). I'm gonna try to figure that out. Thanks for reminding me! :)

[@kisamesims]

When I adopted cats in the Sims 2, I would always go for Bonkers. I just loved the name I guess.

[@PleasantSims]

I love Bonkers too! :)

[@ammarazasews980]

Excuse my 2 years later comments, but I'm so excited I found this series! Just started playing Sims4. And I miss Sims2 so much! I was so invested in the Pleasantview families. I played them from the beginning 3 diff times (when I was in highschool and had time lol). I played so much like you - no mods though! I ended up creating someone just for Brandi bc I didn't want to force relationships either! Also Darren is broke as well wanted smtg better for Brandi lol.

[@mckenny5505]

Idk why I think it’s so cute how Angela showed up with her grandma. A chaperone tagging along with her :3 that’s adorable!!! Even though Angela prob was upset about it. Unless she’s on good terms with her.

[@ChelseaL8Ly]

In my game, Brandi has actually ended up with Benjamin Long, and Darren used the genie lamp to bring back Darleen. It’s so fun how everyone’s games are different and yet equally exciting!

[@Kori3isab3ast]

I ALWAYS had Lilith and Dirk become teen parents. They had two kids before they grew into adults, and another one when theyre oldest was about to turn into a teen.

[@victorpaesplinio2865]

It would have been very nice if Dina helped Brandi with the budget for the wedding. I know she is a gold-digger, but they are best friends and she's is rich now. I'm enjoying your gameplay! Sims 2 gives us the freedom to create our stories, and that's why I love it

[@sandalaris]

I have been having a blast catching up to on your Pleasantview Let's Plays. Just the thing I needed after a rough semester! XD Bradi came over randomly one day in my game, I think it was the welcome party but it might not have been, and her and Darren hit it off so well I kept them going. They really do seem perfectly fit to each other. :)

[@livfaferek6231]

I forgot how placing stuff in TS2 can be difficult!

[@PleasantSims]

It can! But it's not too bad once you get used to it!

[@sdh419]

I'm a new subscriber and I love your serie, looking forward to watch the rest! Ps. Cymmi is a boy haha

[@PleasantSims]

Thank you! I am the worst about getting the pet's genders wrong! LOL

[@bu5tedb3cky]

Is Cymmi a neat Pet? They don’t like eating out of cheap bowls (i know this season is old)

[@PleasantSims]

I don't remember if she is or not, but I think you might be right. I always forget about that! I will check again when I get back to this family. Thanks! :)

[@pinktigrew3437]

@@PleasantSims I think it's "he" for the kitten :)

[@PleasantSims]

@@pinktigrew3437 Lol. Thank you!

[@livfaferek6231]

Maybe Dirk is responsible for her death

[@PleasantSims]

That's definitely a possibility!

[@Simmin4Life]

On my series Darren ended up with Cassandra and they had two daughters.

[@mckenny5505]

2ND COMMENT : oh my God lol Cassandra showed up at the community lot. You tried cancelling their interactions but those sims can’t help it! Lol this is juicy dramamamamama 👀 Edit lmao you zoomed out and then noticed Don just arrived!! Like seriously Sims is coded for the sole purpose of legit drama. Your sims get into insane RNG scenarios, it amazes me!

[@theashapeshift]

You know what's gonna happen? I'm gonna put up the walls here

[@yehoyaqim4008]

That was such a cute story.

[@SweetLala25]

That relationship between Cassandra and Darren was supposed to happen. It was meant to be lol and you went against the grain.

[@jennicaharris9134]

It's strange that the adoption agency left the kitten on the sidewalk, instead of bringing it in the house.

[@BoBPlayGamesTV]

Saving when ghosts are on a lot is not the best idea.

[@PleasantSims]

Thanks!

[@Misunderstvnd]

I know your comment was a year ago but I'm curious as to why

[@BoBPlayGamesTV]

because graves are also treated as sim, so when sim is out and something happens like sims reset when you come back then they may break or something. I am not too sure why now, I've read about it ages ago, but I know it has something with graves being deleted, so sims' character data

[@dirrna]

My Brandi Broke actually lives in that house now after Darren moved out😁

[@hypercumstone44]

Your cat is a male and you called him a girl XD

[@PleasantSims]

I know! I have a hard time remembering their genders. I do this a lot throughout the series. Haha!

[@James-fl6qk]

The unemployment center on your website is the smaller lot. Is this one available at all? :)

[@galstern9502]

How did you made Darren’s lifetime want to be a Visionary? It’s not in my game

[@TerryRay-q5l]

I made my own uberhood with Bluewater Village as the main hood, but i added all 6 maxis mainhoods as subhoods into one hood. Things are backwards 😂 people are cheating, everyones fighting, LOTS of pregnancies, chester gieke is a total ladys man. Dina and Mortimer have 5 kids together (a set of quads), Nina caliente recently had a baby with ajay loner. Im actually going to be starting darrens round 2 soon

[@TerryRay-q5l]

Darren had a baby with natash una in round 1

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

I live Darren and Brandy together. I also like the idea of Don getting cheated on by Cassandra for a change. Man got a whole baby with his eternal side chick. I don't like the idea of Darren breaking Brandy's heart though. I have no idea how you are going to work this out. July 2021

[@thelcie]

Hmm. Call me a hater but I actually did not care for this relationship. I guess I kept hoping things would work out with Cassandra. I am glad Beau and Bobby get a father figure though.

[@anncheeksshakur9030]

How do you get them to go to college?

[@uncrnsprklfrts5720]

You make sure their grades are at least a D+ I think? Then have them either check for scholarships from phone or PC. After that, have them move to college , again you could have them use the phone or PC. :-D
