#daniel pleasant and darren dreamer are married

[lulousims]

It's been officially longer than a year since I last posted gameplay pics...

For the most part of 2022, I couldn't play The Sims because I shared a computer and we couldn't agree on it. Then I played it for like, 2 months (in 2023!) on my bf's computer, but I couldn't take any screenshots 😭 And now, since October of 2023, I've been in England working as a volunteer, with no access to a personal computer. My friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop a few weeks ago so that I could finally play a bit, but it's not ideal because, well, it's his, and he needs it for work outside of the volunteering. I might be able to get my hands on a new laptop soon though (!!!!!!), and I'm really excited about finally being able to remove the "hiatus" from my bio! Or at least replace it with "semi hiatus", you know lol

I obviously won't be able to even remember what's gone on in my households, but at least I'll be back to playing once every few weeks and documenting my stuff. If everything works out, I should be here in one or two weeks, posting unedited screenshots of my game, like I used to, and getting 2 to 5 likes on each post <3 Just how I like it!

Pleasantview Community News

Vol 1

A newsletter bringing you the latest in news about our neighborhood Pleasantview! We are starting this off with a historical overview of our neighbors and who they are.

Oldies

A beloved old couple, Coral and Herb raised Mary Sue Pleasant into the wonderful driven woman she is today. They are looking forward to spending their retirement getting to know their grandchildren and spending time with their daughter.

Burbs

Jenny is the sister of Daniel Pleasant, a woman with a workaholic drive. John is more than happy to stand by her side and support her with all his heart. Their little daughter Lucy hasn't decided what she wants in the world yet, but is looking forward to what she finds in Pleasantview.

Broke

Brandi Broke is the mother of Dustin and Beau. A friend of Darren Dreamer's, she had been happy in her marriage with Skip before his tragic pool accident. Brandi is devoted to her children and wants to give them the best that she can, but even before Skip died the family was poor. Brandi has found herself unable to work, as she has to look after her toddler Beau, leaving teenage Dustin as the sole bread winner of the family. He's found work as a runner for a local gang, but dreams of something larger than a life of crime, more secure. Angela Pleasant, his girlfriend, has all the luxuries he dreams of, and believes if a good girl like her could love a bad boy like him, it may just be possible.

Goth

The founding family of Pleasantview, the Goth family is an ancient lineage steeped in wealth. They have always experienced life closer to southern gothic horror than others may imagine, with mad men, tragic deaths, and more plaguing their history. Mortimer himself was a mad scientist, and a successful one. He married the beautiful Bella, and had two children with her, Alexander and Cassandra. The horrors that stalk the family struck again however, with Bella vanishing and leaving the family in their grief. Cassandra found herself dreaming of a true love that would sweep her away, and thought she found it in Don Lothario, the town's cassanova. They even became engaged! Alexander has clung tightly to his father as his closest friend in his childhood, and watches with caution as Dina Caliente courts his father for possible marriage.

Lothario

A man of pleasure, Don has two goals in life: love as many women as possible, and be admired as a musician. He has successfully seduced his neighbors, the Caliente sisters Dina and Nina, his maid Kaylynn Langerak, and the daughter of the Goth family, Cassandra. Sure Cassandra is far more serious about their relationship than he cares for, but he's sure he can handle it!

Caliente

The mysterious and beautiful Caliente sisters! Both are adoring of Don's love making skills. Nina is more than happy with their relationship as is, she doesn't want to be serious anymore than he does! As long as he gives her enough love she's happy to let him be and focus on her dreams of being a star athlete. Dina of course has always been more monetary focused. Her marriage to Michael Bachelor certainly helped set the pair up with their current lifestyle, but his death has her hunting again. Luckily she knew Michael's sister Bella, and about the Goth family through her. With Bella gone, Dina has her eyes set on a particularly large catch. Don is a far better lover, but Mortimer Goth is where the money's at.

Dreamer

Darren Dreamer is a creative man with big dreams. With his wife Darleen he had his son Dirk. It was a tragedy when his wife died a couple years ago. Slowly they've moved on from there. Darren fell in love with Cassandra Goth, though Cassandra hasn't noticed it, and has been close with Brandi Broke as they shared plans for how to work on a small budget. The family is struggling. Dirk found an escape from this in Lilith Pleasant. She is struggling just as much with life as Dirk is, but together they have found sweet moments of reprieve.

Pleasant

Mary Sue and Daniel Pleasant married some time ago and had baby twin girls. At the start of their relationship, Mary Sue and Daniel were madly in love. Daniel swept Mary Sue away in a wave of passion, and Mary Sue's melting under his attention was addicting. Of course, that changed when the twins were born, and they had to focus on the world beyond each other. It was clear to Mary Sue and Daniel that Angela was a good girl, and Lilith...was not. Of course they didn't do anything bad, they aren't terrible people or anything. They simply left Lilith mostly to herself, instead pouring their hopes and love onto Angela alone.

Mary Sue grew more distant as she became more and more involved with her career, working towards the coveted position of a board holder, while Daniel grew bored and frustrated from his wife always being busy. Daniel turned to the family maid, Kaylynn Langerak, to romance, and enjoy. It was easy to be happy when he could make Kaylynn forget her work under his touch, just like Mary Sue used to when they were younger.

Angela found a reprieve from the expectations of perfection her parents unknowingly placed on her in bad boy Dustin. She does her best to keep Dustin clear of her family, she needs to keep her good girl image up after all. Lilith is bitter from years of her parents favoring her sister over her, and Angela picking on her and claiming everything Lilith tries to claim. She dreams of a life far from her family, perhaps as a chef of some sort. Dirk Dreamer was the first person she can remember to look at her and really see her, Lilith, and not just a poor copy of her sister.

[autumns1mmer]

I have completed a full year in my Megahood! (Pleasantview and Strangetown + universities)

This is part 1 of my Megahood update! Part 2 will be covering Strangetown. (Apologizes for bad screenshot quality)

I will be going in order of the screenshots, but this is not the order I play in!

Caliente: It’s just Nina in this household, she’s pretty high up in the Athletic career and her LTW is to woohoo with 20 sims. There’s not much going on with her (I speed 3 her a lot), however she’s currently pregnant with Daniel Pleasant's baby (not showing yet).

Pleasant: Just like Nina Caliente, Daniel is alone in his apartment. He maxed the Athletic career, and completed his LTW of becoming a Hall of Famer. In the first round, Mary-Sue caught him cheating and divorced him right away. His daughters don’t talk to him anymore, and he doesn’t even know his grandkids.

Broke: Dustin and Angela moved into the trailer park after graduating university. Dustin is high in the Criminal career and has the LTW of becoming a Criminal Mastermind. While Angela is just starting out in the Oceanography career with the LTW of becoming the Hand of Poseidon. The couple had twins from a risky woohoo, Paige and Olivia Pleasant. Dustin and Angela are unmarried, but are still head over heels for each other.

Goth: Alexander and Lucy just graduated university. Alexander is unemployed with the LTW of becoming the Head of SCIA. Lucy is also unemployed with the LTW of sending 3 kids to university. The couple is just dating with no plans of getting married yet.

Oldie/Dreamer: Mary-Sue is the head of the house, she still works in the Politics career with no sign of retirement, and her LTW is to earn 100k. Lilith moved back in after university. She’s in the Military career with the LTW of becoming the General. After Dirk graduated university he moved into Mary-Sue’s house. He’s also in the Politics career, however he has the LTW of being a Business Tycoon. The couple quickly got married after having their twins, Mateo and Nadia.

Dreamer: Darren and Brandi got married right before Dirk went off to university. Darren works in the Architecture career and has the LTW of becoming City Planner. Brandi works in Education and has the LTW of becoming Education Admin. Brandi had 3 children with her late husband Skip Broke, Dustin, Beau and Ameila. Beau isn’t doing great in school because he’s more focused on playing the bass and drums. Ameila is unborn baby Broke, she recently aged up into a teenager and is doing very well in high school. The youngest member of the household is Landon Dreamer, the only child between Darren and Brandi, he recently aged up into a child.

Lothario: Don and Cassandra got married and very soon after had their son, Brooks. Don is in the Medical career and has the LTW of having 20 lovers. He has yet to be caught cheating. Cassandra works in the Science career with the LTW of reaching Golden Anniversary. After the couple got married, they very quickly had Brooks. Brooks is a lot like his mother, he’s more focused on making money rather than dating. After a very long time of Brooks being an only child, Cassandra got pregnant from risky woohoo. She gave birth to her second child, Tessa Lothario.

Burb: John and Jennifer have 3 children together, Lucy, Easton, and Grace Burb. John is high in the Education career with the LTW of having 6 grandkids. While Jennifer is only halfway through the Law career, her LTW is to Become the Law. Easton is the couple's only boy and the middle child. He is dating Celeste Curious and is doing decently in school. Grace is the youngest child, and she’s a huge mommy’s girl.

Goth: Dina married Mortimer and had their daughter, Delilah Goth. Dina is high in the Slacker career and her LTW is to become a Professional Party Guest. She’s not close with her daughter, due to Dina bringing strange men home every night. Delilah doesn’t have many friends, nor is she close to her half-siblings, Cassandra and Alexander. She spends her time painting and going on walks with her dog.

[orange-delicacy]

Pleasantview: Summer 2 round

Hi. I had to divide this post into several parts because there are so many kids that it would be hard to squeeze them all in here :P Also today's post will be dedicated to adult children of the summer second round.

Everyone here is siblings, I mean it just so happened that everyone I'm going to introduce here are siblings. 8 and 9. Anita and John Pleasant (Bella Goth and Daniel Pleasant kids)

10. and 11. Egon and Roxana Szulc ( Nina Kaliente and Ray(townie) kids)

12. and 13. Constance and Leo Newbie ( Dustin Newbie(Broke) and Meadow Thayer kids)

14. an 15. Marceline and Michael Dreamer ( Brandi and Darren Dreamer kids)

16. and 17. Paul and Peter Landgraab ( Dina Kaliente and Malcolm Landgraab sons)

The best part is that I don't know where the red hair gene in Landgraab's sons came from… Maybe Dina had this gene from her mother who passed on? um…

18. and 19. Robert and Simon Lothario ( Cassandra Goth and Don Lothario sons) Funfact:

Robert and Marceline are married, their first child, Aurelia, was born recently.

Anita and Paul were married but very briefly, today they hate each other and are already in happy relationships. Anita is dating Egon and I'm still wondering what to do with these two.

Leo and Roxana are also a happy married couple, for now I will not breed them, but who knows, who knows…

[sunnydayzes]

The engagement celebration took place at Katrina's house after the girls' graduation. The entire wedding party - mostly Katrina old classmates from high school - attended with their families.

The Landgraabs arrived in style, and arguments continued as they always did in public. Their youngest son and heir to the Landgraab fortune, Malcolm, had arrived but without his recently announced fiancé, and Katrina didn't think to question why that would be. Bella arrived without her beloved Mortimer as he was still busy writing his latest novel - a novel all about his famous family and the rumors and superstitions that surrounded them.

Mary-Sue also neglected to bring her husband, Daniel Pleasant, as Katrina had never forgiven him for the affair he had with that retched maid, Kaylynn Langerak, that lead to the birth of two boys and one girl - triplets- out of wedlock. It didn't seem she was as forgiving as her old friend was, as Daniel and Mary-Sue were still very much married. Mary-Sue claimed that they had been through "a lot of counseling" and that the even had "made them stronger", but Katrina knew that there were still rumors that Daniel visited Kaylynn regularly and was a very active part in the infants' lives. The only good thing Katrina could say about that was that he didn't shirk the duty of being a father to his offspring, but she could only imagine the false hope it would give Kaylynn that he might one day leave Mary-Sue behind to be with her.

Brandi Dreamer, formally known as Brandi Broke, and even more formally known as Brandi Newbie, was also without her new husband, Darren. Katrina was so happy that Brandi had finally found someone after Skip's tragic death, and she had been looking forward to getting to know him, but Brandi pointed out that someone had to stay at home with Brandi's offspring. Katrina had overheard her mentioning to Clara Bjergsen, who was expecting her third child - another girl - with husband Bjorn, that her and Darren were trying to expand their family with children of their own. Dustin and Dirk were out of the nest, and that just left them with recently turned teenager, Beau, and the wild child, and youngest of the Broke children, Scout - who was apparently the spitting image of her late father. Katrina always knew Brandi would have a big family, and it didn't surprise her at all that she wanted more.

All the discussion of pregnancies and families lead Katrina into making an announcement that she hadn't really told any of her friends yet - that her and Don were expecting their own bundle of joy!

"He was over the moon when he found out he was going to be a father!", Katrina told everyone within earshot, trying her best to ignore the way her soon to be husband was staring at her daughter, who was sitting right beside her. "Weren't you, love?"

Don cleared his throat and smiled, nodding his head. "Of course, mi amor. I cannot wait to meet our son. He's going to be as handsome as his papa.", Don said, with all the confidence in the world that it was going to be a boy.

Katrina wanted to be kept in the dark as far as the gender was concerned. She told her friends that she did not care as long as the baby was happy and healthy, and that was true, but she was also hoping that the child would be a son. She had always wanted a boy.

As the party began to wind down, Katrina couldn't erase the looks from her mind. Was she seeing things? Nina had been giggling an awful lot at the dinner table, as her fiancé had chosen to sit with her in-between them. Was something going on?

As she made her way into the bedroom to prepare for her evening bath, she couldn't help but wonder...was Don truly the Lothario his reputation had earned him, or was she simply insecure?

<PREVIOUS | LA FAMILIA CALIENTE 🌶️ | NEXT>

[budgieflitter]

thank you sm for the positive feedback on my silly swap au 🥺💖 i see a lot of ppl already interested in the actual playable hood and omg it would be so cool!! idk if i'll ever do it myself tho but if anyone wants to give it a go i would love that!

i don't currently have any plans for any more hood swaps like this but who knows..

also some lil notes on my ideas:

it's implied mortimer actually gets rid of cassandra's fiances bc he thinks they are unfit to marry his daughter. toxic girl dad shit lmao. don was kidnapped by calientes right before his and cassandra's wedding so she thinks he also died of her "curse" (its like reverse annie/nervous situation if you think of it)

i admit i haven't really thought about bella situation.. perhaps the calientes actually helped her fake her death and escape to "pleasant town"

for broke-dreamer i actually sketched darren as the general but then i thought pilot/astronaut is also military branch and it fits more to dreamers' blue color scheme. also these professions are more romantic-like which i think suits darren. not much change to the brokes i guess. not sure about their dead spouses but they're probably buried somewhere at goths 😭 darren prolly got a crush on cass once but you know it's dangerous to get involved with her at all so

pleasants were not changed much in character tbh, maybe only daniel he seems really chill :) haven't really thought where kaylynn would fit in this au for now

it's implied that jennifer is actually herb's daughter mirroring lola and chloe's situation (yes i wanted to keep the weird ass family tree im sorry) while lucy is the result of john's abduction (who is i guess vidcund lite)

oldies were not really swapped but i like what i came up with for them! adopted a random baby during their escape well good for them

okay this is long but yeah there's still a lot to think about, maybe i'll get to it sometime :) thank you again everyone

WELCOME TO STRANGEVIEW

oh hey its budgieflitter and her swap aus obsession again descriptions are under the cut v

CALIENTE + LOTHARIO = BEAKER When Don got a date with the Caliente sisters, he thought he won a jackpot. What he did not expect, though, was to wake up next morning on an operation table in their basement. Will this test subject last or the sisters will have to look for a replacement soon?

GOTH = SPECTER Turns out not only relatives are buried in local oligarch's graveyard. Ever since Mortimer's wife Bella mysteriously disappeared, he became more reclusive than he already was. She was not the only victim - all of his daughter Cassandra's fiancés seemed to disappear one by one. Will Alexander get used to living with ghosts? Can Cassandra ever find love again?

BROKE + DREAMER = GRUNT Brandi and Darren found comfort in each other after a terrible tragedy struck their families, however it seems this comfort is about to crumble. Darren is determined to reach the stars someday, and Brandi would rather stay close to the ground. Will Dustin and Dirk ever get along? Will little Beau follow his stepfather's footsteps?

PLEASANT = SMITH

Daniel has been fascinated with space ever since his father's Mars expedition hit the news. Good thing he found a woman whose eyes reflect the beauty of the universe itself. Will Angela and Lilith put their differences aside for the family's sake?

BURB = CURIOUS Jennifer is interested in the vastness of universe, but for a different reason her brother is. Where is she from? What really happened on her father's Mars expedition? Was it anything like the experience her husband went through during his abduction? Maybe the answer is much closer than she thinks.

OLDIE

Oldies have been a long-time residents of Strangeview. Unable to fulfill her role as a Birth Queen, Coral escaped with her beloved with a tiny alien aboard. Will Herb realize that the result of his last mission as a Pollination Technician is somewhere nearby? okayyyy i had so much fun making this. the idea hit me literally yesteday and i was on the rideee hope u enjoy ^_^

[lonerswhimsie]

My Pleasantville Rotation Round 1 Summary

I think I’ll do some Sims 2 story summary once in a while because it makes me enjoy my gameplay more and keep my blog active. Don’t worry, it won’t be too often and flood my blog, I promise! ✒️🛣️

🍁 Lothario-Goth Household (Cassandra, Don, Victor, Nicolo, Tuxedo🐈‍⬛)

Cassandra Goth finally gets married to Mister Lothario, they have two beautiful children, both male. Their name is Victor and Nicolo, after their great-great-grandfather and their grandfather. But oh no, don’t get it wrong, she hasn’t tamed the playboy down at all. He still has a wondering eye, only his new fatherly duty delayed him a little. He’s still a great father after all.

💵 Goth Household (Mortimer, Dina, Gabrielle, Olivia)

Dina finally got a hold of her bag, but for extra security, she decided to have a baby with Morty. Wait, but I thought you had Gabrielle AND Olivia? Yeah... Olivia is an oops baby... Oops… Oh well, extra secure I guess. But Dina isn’t so fond of child care, so most of the work falls on Mortimer. He’s not complaining tho, he loves them. And remember when I said Lothario still has a wandering eye? He comes to visit Dina every day! So scandalous.

🎀 Girlies Household (Nina Caliente, Kaylynn Langerak, Peek-a-boo🐹)

After getting fired from “The Pleasant Housewreking Incident”, Kaylynn finds comfort in Don Lothario. He knows about the incident from his wife and suggests she move in with Nina (his other fling), she’s been looking for a new roommate after her sister moved out. So Kaylynn did, and they’re so compatible it’s awesome. But this still isn’t a life Kaylynn wants, so she keeps working and saving money so she can move out and start her own family soon. Oh, what about Nina? Yeah, nothing much, she’s happy with what she has now. But she does become a dancer, a girl gotta pay bill somehow.

🏠 Pleasant Household (Daniel, Marry-Sue, Angela, Lilith)

Marry-Sue caught Daniel cheating on her with the maid, but luckily she got a promotion that day so she didn’t have a mental breakdown. Well, I guess luckily for Daniel too because, in the end, he manages to climb back into his wife's bed. Poor Lilith still lives a miserable life, but she plans her escape with her law job. She wants to be a lawyer/judge and get justice for every mistreated teen. Go, Lilith!

🧓🏻 Oldies Household (Herb, Coral, Buffy🐕)

Both Herb and Coral go back to pursue their dream job, what are they gonna do in their free time if not more work? Herb works in music and Coral in oceanography. That’s not the most shocking, they start having polyamory relationships with none other than Kaylynn Lagerak! Oh my.

🍼 Broke Household (Brandi, Dustin, Beau, Skip Jr.)

Brandi popped out her unborn baby, it’s a boy! So she named him Skip Jr. She always loved babies but WATCHER this one she swore was a devil reincarnate because he’s so difficult! He says no to everything, making Brandi not want to have any more babies EVER. So Homegirl starts focusing on feeding her family instead, sadly she gets fired from her first job tho. But the kids (except Skip Jr.) seem doing good, Dustin found his love in drawing, and Beau in cooking!

🎨 Dreamer Household (Darren, Dirk)

Nothing happens much tbh. Darren guy still in love with Cassandra, oh, Dirk won’t do his homework anymore. If he keeps it up he might not be able to go to college. But hey, at least Darren and Dirk are really close now.

🌾 Burb Household (John, Jennifer, Lucy, Paul)

Nothing much happened in this household, except Jennifer thrived in the business career... and other oops baby. Hey, but at least this one is long-wanted by his dad. Can’t say he’s been taken care of so well though, his father is busy gardening.

[hotsimsummer]

Scripted Events

Don and Cassandra got married, we'll see how long that lasts

Dina proposed to Mortimer who was only too happy to accept, and he and Alexander moved in with her. Nina moved to a rental apartment while she figures out what she wants to do with her life.

Brandi gave me a LOT OF TROUBLE, dying in childbirth TWICE before finally hanging on. I wouldn't savescum that in the future, but for the first pregnancy ever, and the first pregnancy of my girl Brandi, I just couldn't let her die immediately and leave Dustin alone with two infants.

Eventually she had a healthy baby girl whom she named Skipper, after her dad.

In the Pleasant household, Daniel, predictably, got caught cheating.

This sent poor Daniel into aspiration failure

Not much happened with the Dreamers, but Cassandra did come over and flirt with Darren, which made Darren's dead wife very unhappy

And that's about it for the scripted events. Next up I'll do posts for each household in turn for what happened in their round.

[a-very-pleasant-view]

Goth : Round 0 (Part 1)

At the Goth mansion, everyone arrives the next evening for the wedding. Cassandra doesn’t know many people, so it’s a small backyard wedding with only Mortimer and Alexander, Darren Dreamer, and Mary-Sue and Daniel Pleasant in attendance. 

Alexander wishes his sister luck on her big day. 

Mary-Sue and Daniel flirted autonomously and regained their crush on each other. The magic of weddings! 

Don actually goes through with the wedding, despite his misgivings about the situation. I think everyone besides Cassandra is surprised. Mortimer didn’t think Don had it in him. 

Wedding fever is really affecting Daniel and Mary-Sue. These two couldn’t keep their hands off each other during the party. Maybe there’s hope for their dying marriage after all. 

Cassandra is over the moon and heads off to cut the cake, but Don lingers at the altar, his mind plagued by regret. Mortimer and Alexander dance sweetly together.

Darren is the only person other than Don who is not enjoying the wedding. He’s still madly in love with Cassandra, and if someone was going to take her from him, Don was the last person he would have wanted it to be. He hates everything about Don, from his smug face, to his womanizing ways, to his rumored involvement in Bella Goth’s disappearance. Cassandra notices Darren acting weird and tries to approach him, but he makes an excuse and wanders off.

Cassandra feeds Don a piece of wedding cake. He tries to fake a smile. Maybe this is for the best, and he’ll be happy married to Cassandra. He does love her, but I think both his and Cassandra’s belief in his ability to change is unfounded. Only time will tell if he’ll remain faithful or if this marriage was doomed to fail from the start. 

The party is so un-lively that even the Goth Ghosts have come out to celebrate. Don is starting to realize he may have bit off more than he can chew.

Pleasantview Community News

Vol 2

Bringing you the latest news about our neighbors in Pleasantview!

Burbs

John has found himself a job as a school teacher. Jenny has a respectable job as a scientist, but she is dreaming of one day finding a job as a star entertainer. For now she is sticking with science, but perhaps when they are more secure she can chase her dream.

Broke

Turns out Skip left Brandi with a final surprise before his death. Brandi is pregnant! Just in time for Beau to exit those toddler years and enter school. Beau's proven himself surprisingly gifted as an artist. His creativity can be seen in everything he touches. He's also more independent, giving Brandi the chance to fully focus on her newest child, Connor.

Goth

The family has seen a huge uproar! A passionate plea from Darren Dreamer lead to Cassandra splitting from Don and make plans to marry Darren instead. Don is furious at being rejected in favor of another man. Mortimer has found himself engaged to Dina Caliente, and hopes for happiness in his new relationship.

Lothario

Don has found himself focusing more on his music than his lovers as he works through the fury of Cassandra Goth's choice of another man. He may not have wanted to marry her, but he certainly views himself as better in bed than any other man could be. Even his relationship with Dina is on the rocks as she works to secure her marriage to Mortimer.

Caliente

Dina is engaged to Mortimer, and wedding plans are on the horizon! She swears to Don that her true love is with him, they just need to take a break so she can seal the deal with Mortimer and get his money. The Goth family fortune is nothing to sneeze at after all.

Dreamer

Darren has found a job as a spy. Working to track down information is not only engaging, but provides a higher level of security for his family than before. Bills are being paid! Not only that, but his attempts to have Cassandra notice him as more than merely a friend have gone through, and wedding bells are in the air.

Pleasant

Mary Sue was too honest for her company, and so when a scapegoat was needed she was selected. Furious at being cast out for not being corrupt like her fellow coworkers, a new dream of wealth through crime comes in. If she can't win it honestly, she'll win it dishonestly. Daniel is just relieved that his affair with the maid has remained below her notice, even if he's been forced to cut his time with her to make sure Mary Sue doesn't see them together. Angela has found herself stepping back from bothering Lilith, seeing the stress in her parents and wondering if it's something Lilith saw all along. Her sister certainly doesn't seem surprised.

[lulousims]

I kinda wanna restart my Pleasantview just so I can pair Darren and Daniel together... That idea's been on my mind for a month now and I like it so much.

Just think about it. Daniel, all alone after his divorce and with his daughters in university, finds out something new about himself and that he can still be happy with someone. Darren struggles as a parent and with life, but someone new opens his eyes to the possibilities of life and helps him close the chapter of his wife's death.

[landgraabsims]

There are so many new households in Landgraab Keep it's getting hard to keep track. Everyone keeps having babies! I might have to change the requirements for townies moving in, because it's becoming a little overwhelming.

The Loste family is made up of General Buzz, his wife Kristen, and their daughter, Dagmar. I hate this pairing so much it's unreal. General Buzz has had two babies out of wedlock with Kristen's best friend, Erin, but she doesn't know about that just yet.

The Pleasant household is as toxic as ever. Ever since Mary-Sue and Daniel cheated on each other at Dina's baby shower they've been incredibly resentful of each other.

If that wasn't bad enough, Mary-Sue got pregnant with Margaret after her fling with Skip Broke.

Daniel exacts revenge (?) by starting an affair with Cassandra, who is currently married to Darren Dreamer.

Cassandra gives birth to his son. Darren is non the wiser, despite the fact the baby has bright red hair.

She gives birth to Darren's children not long after- quadruplets!!!!

Brandi and John Burb's twins have aged up as well.

Summary of CobyCobs Uberhood (In chronological order, YAY!!).

(ATTENTION: This summary contains Headcanons made by me, so nothing here presented below is canon, There are also many random images, to make this summary a bit funny hehe, I hope you like it)

It all starts in Veronaville, the Capp family and the Monty family start a big family fight in which they involve their friends: The Hashimoto family (Japanese family and friend of the Capp), and the Wilson family (French family and friend of the Monty ), During that conflict, Goneril (Eldest daughter of Consort and Contessa) must marry Albany, because it is an arranged marriage, while her sister Cordelia lives happily with her boyfriend and future husband Caliban.

Meanwhile in Pleasantview.

The Goth family has had a great impact throughout SimNation, due to its great friendship with the Dunnoff family (especially because of the relationship between Alexander and Ekaterina, who would be a kind of "Brat Pitt and Angelina"). Mortimer and Cassandra are concerned about Bella's "disappearance" and Alexander´s  relationship with the blonde girl.Cassandra wants to get revenge on Don (Her husband), since he has cheated on her many times, but Mortimer does not want his daughter to make the same mistake as Don.

With the Caliente Sisters

The life of the Caliente sisters has gone from worse to worse... Dina has murdered Bella and Michael, just to get more and more money, while Nina, just wants to start over. Learning of his wife's murder, Mortimer confronts Dina, causing her to be arrested.

Meanwhile, with the Montero family.

Anastasia and Vladimir are looking for a possible heir to the Montero mansion, since none of their grandchildren have been interested in the mansion (except for the Montero girls: Gabriella, Lola and Ekaterina). Anastasia does not want the three girls to be the heirs due to their "Improper Conduct". The Montero girls apparently don't get along very well, Ekaterina proved to be a "spoiled brat" with her cousins ​​Lola and Gabriella, whom she treats very badly.

Determined, Gabriella calls a Gipsy to look for a blind date (Since she would cause the worst in this Uberhood series, so it's Gaby's fault... Gabriella Sensal you're Cancelled).

So, Ekaterina meets the Gipsy, who makes her a blind date with someone...

And here we meet the most yandere sim in the entire history of this series...

GEOFF RUTHERFORD.

Geoff is OBSESSED with Ekaterina, so he does ANYTHING to get her to notice him: From having a glow up to murdering Alexander... (Did I mention Geoff is a yandere?).

At a sleepover that the Montero Girls, Darren Dreamer, Gabriel Green and Alexander Goth did.

Geoff, his sister Marissa Cleveland and his brother-in-law Jason Cleveland kidnap Alexander.

Back in Veronaville.

Everything seems to be going very well, The Capps have a masquerade party attended by The Summerdream, Cassandra Goth, Ekaterina Dunnoff and... Daniel Pleasant (*Screams*).

Well, I forgot to mention that first of all... Ekaterina was cheating on Alexander with Daniel Pleasant, a soccer player, who is engaged to Mary Sue Oldie, a judge who is starting her career. During the party, Contessa and Titania Summerdream have Woohoo and are discovered by Cassandra, who also discovers that Ekaterina was cheating on her brother with her friend's fiancé.

Later...

Several things happen... (And none of them good).

Alexander dies, due to Geoff, Jason, Marissa and Carlos Contender having him kidnapped from Carlos' house.

Mortimer and Cassandra find out and get depressed...

Gabriella marries Darren Dreamer, and in the middle of the party, Ella and her sister Lola start gossiping about Geoff, which makes Ekaterina angry. Angry and a little scared, the blonde girl goes on vacation to relax. Where she is reunited with Geoff, who kidnaps her and brainwashes her into getting married.

And so, Geoff and Ekaterina get married and have children... LOTS of children.

And so we conclude the first part of the summary of CobyCobs Uberhood.

Some of my favorite worlds part 2

The next world I’ve been spending some extra time in is Pleasantview by @pleasantsims​.  Oh, the nostolgia!  This is so crazy!  I actually felt like I was in the sims 2 for a minute!  The world is as close a replica as was possible to the Sims 2 hood complete (via save file) with a full population including the Sims 2 NPC’s.

I started out in Don’s house and needless to say within two minutes of playing Nina was with child.  I have always felt that poor Cassandra didn’t deserve Don and his antics so I sent her over to catch him and dump him before she could marry him.

With that settled, it was on to the Pleasant household.  Can we just take a minute to appreciate how amazing this whole family looks!

Daniel of course was carrying on with Kaylynn, but Mary Sue was completely oblivious!  Also, I plopped down some public lots in the many empty lots included because the base world was built up using Base game and Late Night only.

Finally!  She caught them...then promptly passed out on the dinning room floor!  Poor Mary Sue!

Dina got flirty with Don, haunted by the ghost of her dead husband and asked Dustin Broke to move in with her??!!  Oh!  She also got engaged to Mortimer, had his child and broke up with him...Oh Dina!

Speaking of Mortimer, apparently he’s upset about clowns for some reason!

Darren Dreamer painted up a storm.  SP got him together with a pregnant Brandy Broke and they got engaged.  Lilith moved in with Dirk and the rest of the family once Daniel moved out!  Phew!  There is never a shortage of drama drama in Pleasantview!
