Tanic's Pleasantview

[ Sky: The Great Sky of Totalitarianism by lowedeus (Day) / Skyline: Skylines by greatcheesecakepersona (Green Hills) ]

A lot has happened in 25 years, but some new faces in town are stirring up rivalries and creating tension for the once happy families. Can anything be done to get the neighborhood feeling good again?

Subhoods:
Sim State University (University)

Bluewater Village (Shopping)
Twikkii Island (Vacation)

So - thanks to lockdown, I have done nothing but play TS2 all day every day. As a result, I am now on round 6 of Pleasantview (as of 30/08/2020), and I think I would like to document what's going on in my game since I'm having a lot of fun. Not that anyone else besides me cares much if at all, of course; this just gives me something to do. 

Each family will get their own dedicated blog posts, however this is just an overview of the families currently residing in my Pleasantview and a brief introduction to them in order of my rotation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lothario (1)

By all accounts, Cassandra seems to have successfully tamed the most notorious Casanova in town. Their marriage, on the outside, looks picture perfect, their house is beautiful, and they have four children together who are starting to create their own families. But has Don really been able to prove he's only a Lothario by name and not by nature, or will his seedy secrets be exposed before he can take them to the grave?

Favourite Mods

Inspired by Pleasant Sims' fantastic  recommended mods list , aka the bible for Sims 2 mods. Though there may be some overlaps (especially where critical mods are concerned), I will only be including the mods I personally use and my favourites in this post. My Downloads folder is very bulky - over 10k files - but I have trawled through it in order to comprise a comprehensive directory of mods I cannot play without and would like to recommend to the three other people still playing TS2 in 2020. How to download mods (.package files): go to your Sims 2 folder in your documents, create a new folder called Downloads, and place the packages there. UPDATE 13/09/2020: Unfortunately the beloved Simbology website has recently shut down and so a few of these mods may direct you to dead links. Once I am able to, I will try to replace these links; in the meantime, you can find all the Simbology mods  at Sim File Share.  So long and thanks for all the fish indeed. CRITICAL MODS I...

My Gameplay Rules

Ever since I was inspired by Pleasant Sims to regress  revisit my childhood and play TS2 again a few months back, I have been playing the game quite... seriously? I guess you could say. The months I have spent in front of my laptop controlling these little pixelated people have led to me establishing my own gameplay 'rules', many of which are stolen from  inspired by Pleasant Sims. Currently, I am enjoying a rotational, wants-based gameplay with the premade hoods, namely Pleasantview and Strangetown. Here is a full list of how I play and the rules I follow (sometimes rather liberally) which may be subject to change as I continue playing. Where necessary I will credit Pleasant Sims as many of my gameplay ideas stem from her blog and YouTube Let's Plays. Ageing  | As stated in my  Favourite Mods post , I currently use  Mertikora's 1 day = 1 year lifespan . I don't really have many 'rules' around ageing; everyone ages up when they're supposed to and I d...

Pleasantview Family Trees

Image
Ahead of my upcoming Pleasantview Let's Play series, here are the family trees for all of my households. I use Family Echo to track my family trees. For the sake of readability, I have cut some screenshots just to focus on the household at hand, though I will include important relations under each picture. The family tree is huge  and currently consists of 121 people, so full screenshots are difficult to capture. However, of course if anyone is interested I would be more than happy to upload them. In order of  the Intro Video  posted yesterday: --- Lothario (1) Household members: Dante Lothario; Simon Lothario (né Bar); Morty Lothario Morty and Dante are the youngest sons of Cassandra and Don. They have two older siblings, twins Nico and Naomi, and two half-siblings on Don's side (Nathan Pleasant and Mia Caliente). Dante is married to Simon, a former Downtownie. Morty is divorced from Eve Pleasant, the youngest daughter of Mary-Sue and Daniel. They have one daughter toget...
