Sims 2 Premades' One True Hobbies - Pleasantview

Not sure if this would be helpful to anyone else, however I've never been able to easily find information on the premades sims' One True Hobbies (OTH) online and so I thought I'd compile a list for each neighbourhood, starting with Pleasantview since I am most familiar with the families there. I can also add townies and NPCs if that would be of any interest at all.

Because Pleasantview was of course shipped with the base game and predates the Freetime EP, sims' OTHs are generated based on their zodiac, personality, and interests. When starting a new neighbourhood, one of the first - and one of my favourite - things I do is find out each sim's OTH; it's also my favourite thing when a new sim is born in game. You could just look in SimPE before playing or use in-game hacks such as the Sim Blender to see sims' OTHs but I like to do it the long way and try out every hobby until I get that magical pop up. If you'd rather not have to do all that, though, this list could hopefully save you that trouble. 

In order of the gameplay guide:

Don Lothario: Fitness.

Mortimer Goth: Nature;
Cassandra Goth: Tinkering;
Alexander Goth: Nature.

Dina Caliente: Nature;
Nina Caliente: Fitness.

Brandi Broke: Arts & Crafts;
Dustin Broke: Nature;
Beau Broke: Music & Dance.

Darren Dreamer: Nature;
Dirk Dreamer: Tinkering.

Daniel Pleasant: Tinkering;
Mary-Sue Pleasant: Music & Dance;
Angela Pleasant: Nature;
Lilith Pleasant: Sports.

John Burb: Nature;
Jennifer Burb: Music & Dance;
Lucy Burb: Film & Literature.

Herb Oldie: Nature;
Coral Oldie: Film & Literature.

Of course, you can always change these if you want - there are a few that don't really match too well but others seem spot-on to me so I tend to keep them. It's up to you whether you completely change everyone's OTH or leave them as they are. 

In my Pleasantview, there's definitely an abundance of Nature sims! Sports is catching up too. Currently, I only have one born in-game Cuisine sim (Eve Pleasant) and two Games sims (Kyla Burb and Willow Goth), and no Science or Film & Literature sims ㅜㅜ I'm hoping I'll see some soon...

Since I'm also working my way through Bluewater Village as part of my Pleasantview, I imagine that will be the next neighbourhood I do this for. In Strangetown I only found out a few sims' hobbies but I am in the process of restarting, so I'm sure that post will also be coming soon!

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...
