Hi! I'm Kaity B (she/her), a 29-year-old Simmer from the USA, and I'm so excited to share my Pleasantview adventures with you! Whether you're new to The Sims or a long-time fan, this post will give you a warm welcome and a helpful guide to my Simblr.

The Charm of Pleasantview 🏡✨

Pleasantview is a neighborhood filled with intriguing stories and beloved characters. My storytelling picks up right after the scripted events of The Sims 2, which set the stage for all the drama and excitement. If you're new to The Sims 2, these scripted events are pre-set scenarios that create a rich backdrop for your gameplay. Here’s a quick rundown of where things stand and what you can expect in my Pleasantview:

The Lothario Household: Don Lothario is a notorious womanizer caught in a love quadrangle with Cassandra Goth, Nina Caliente, Dina Caliente, and Kaylynn Langerak. His upcoming wedding to Cassandra is full of doubts and complications.

The Goth Family: Mortimer Goth is recovering from his wife's disappearance by dipping his toes back into a committed relationship. His daughter Cassandra is engaged to Don Lothario, and his son Alexander is growing up quickly in a house full of secrets.

The Caliente Sisters: Dina and Nina Caliente have recently arrived in Pleasantview under mysterious circumstances. Dina's aim is to marry rich, while Nina seeks excitement. Their arrival coincides with the disappearance of Bella Goth, adding to the town's intrigue.

The Pleasant Family: Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant are struggling with their marriage. Mary-Sue recently caught Daniel cheating with the maid, Kaylynn Langerak. Their twin daughters, Angela and Lilith, are constantly at odds.

The Broke Family: Brandi Broke is dealing with the recent death of her husband, Skip, and the challenges of raising her sons, Dustin and Beau, on her own. An unexpected pregnancy adds to her struggles.

The Dreamer Household: Darren Dreamer is a widower and struggling artist, trying to make ends meet while raising his teenage son, Dirk. He's also harboring a secret crush on Cassandra Goth.

The Burb Family: John and Jennifer Burb have returned to Pleasantview with their daughter Lucy, seeking a fresh start in the town where they grew up.

The Ramirez Family: Checo and Lisa Ramirez have just opened a new furniture store in Pleasantview, hoping to achieve the Simtopia dream while raising their daughter, Tessa.

New neighbors should start with the Lothario Household or Fall 1 to dive right into the action! From there follow my list of the household here or on the main page! Remember to scroll to the bottom as tumblr doesn't post chronologically!

These events are the springboard for all the stories and dramas that unfold in my Pleasantview. Now, let's dive into the details!

My Gameplay Style 🎮

Inspiration & Credit

A heartfelt thanks to @pleasantsims! Your creative flair and stories have reshaped my love for The Sims. I'm here to spread that joy and inspiration further. IYKYK!

Rotational Play

Rotational play is a gameplay style where I switch households every in-game week, giving each household 7 days per season. This way, I can keep their stories fresh and unexpected. Unlike the legacy challenge, where you focus on a single family through multiple generations, rotational play allows you to explore and develop multiple families and their stories simultaneously. This method ensures that every family in Pleasantview gets attention and their stories interweave, creating a dynamic and interconnected neighborhood.

To keep up with all the household stories, I use a detailed tagging system on my blog:

#welcome to pleasantview! - Start here for an overview and general information about my gameplay style.

#pleasantview legacy - Includes every story piece of content for every household.

Household Tags - Follow each family's saga. The tags are listed in the order I rotate households: #the lothario household, #the goth household, etc.

Seasonal Tags - Prefer a seasonal approach? Each tag gathers all events within that time frame across all households: #fall 1, #winter 1, #spring 1, #summer 1. Our neighborhood stories begin in fall 1!

Individual Sim Insights - Deep dives into each Sim's life: #get to know the sim, #meet the neighbors.

Special Moments - Celebrations and cameos: #pleasantview birthdays, #pleasant cameos, #strange cameos.

Recaps and Chronicles - Quick catch-ups on each household's latest season: #lothario recap, #goth recap, etc.

Behind the Scenes - Insights into the creative process: #behind the scenes with kaity b.

Community Hub - Interact, ask questions, and become a part of Pleasantview: #ask kaity b! & #kaity b answers, #kaity b resources, #kaity b reblogs, #kaity b saves for later.

Games and Interactions - Fun activities for neighbors: #hey neighbors, #tag game, #emoji ask games.

This system helps you easily find the content you're interested in and follow the storylines that captivate you the most.

Wants-Based Gameplay

Wants-based gameplay means that my Sims' desires drive their stories. In The Sims 2, Sims have specific wants and fears that influence their behavior and mood. I focus on fulfilling their wants, which adds a layer of depth and unpredictability to their lives. By prioritizing their aspirations and fears, I let autonomy stir up some delightful chaos along the way, making the storytelling more organic and engaging.

The Sims 2 Vibes

I've modded my game to mirror the feel of The Sims 2, including aspirations, hobbies, and those quirky chance cards. Dice rolls and creative twists keep things interesting. All stories kick off post-scripted events. In my neighborhood, Don and Cassandra are married, Dina and Mortimer eloped, and Daniel... well, let's say he's had better days.

So long story short, due to the glitch where you couldn't move sims between played households, I accidentally marked this household as unplayed, and while Liberty was at university and I was playing another household, Genesis died. I was pretty upset, but I'm going to assume for story purposes it was a sad and unexpected premature passing.

All this to say, when Liberty graduates, Jovan takes her to the most romantic view in Simtopia, even if it happens to be in someone else's backyard, and proposes.

SIMS MACHINA

...WINTER'S CREST!?

It's that time of year in Simtopia where snow falls, trees are decorated, gifts are traded and jolly old fat men break into your homes.

How is everyone celebrating!?

Okay, so maybe not everyone is having a luxurious time, but the love is there, isn't it?!

Well, maybe for some... Looks like Noah wasn't as committed as Vax was...

But it's alright, I'm sure Gilmore will help those wounds heal more in time...

Week One

Meet Rosa Fox! A recent graduate from San Myshuno Police Academy. Rosa is extremely bright (genius) and despite being a bit of a clutz (clumsy) she is very confident (self-assured) in herself and her future.

Rosa has moved into 1310 21 Chic Street.

1310 21 Chic Street by jazzpus Shortly after moving in Rosa was greeted by the local welcome wagon. Including her new neighbor Penny Pizzaz.

Although hailing from the suburbs Rosa has become quite taken with all the big city has to offer. There's food available on every street corner and for a lady who works long hours, it's nice to be able to get a hot meal inside her quickly without always having to cook. Or, even worse, live on a steady diet of pizza. Yet, despite her limited time at home Rosa does (sometimes) find the time to refine her cooking skill. You can't found a legacy without knowing how to feed it!

Soon it was time to head down to police headquarters to start her career in the police force.

This is the reason Rosa moved out here. She always wanted to be a cop, well a detective to be more accurate, and San Myshuno has the best police force in the world. She could think of nowhere better to start her fledgling career. This early in her career Rosa is assigned a quiet patrol in Forgotten Hollow. Not much to do out there but keep that brain of hers in tip-top condition for any future success.

It takes more than just brains to make it to the detective bureau. You need to prove yourself on the streets as well and sometimes that means you need braun as well. Luckily the police station has state-of-the-art facilities for the force to use.

Simtopia Police Station by Zita1966 Despite being a member of the best police force in the world there are some things you just can't avoid. Like cryptic texts from weird old dudes, who then break into your home in the middle of the night and...

Well, Rosa doesn't remember much but she did find it exceptionally hard to focus at work the next day.

Her first time helping on a big case too. Someone decided it was a great idea to vandalize the bowling alley. This wasn't just some quick prank either they took their time and did thousands of simoleons worth of damage. Rosa accumulated clues at a rather rapid pace. Perhaps too rapidly because they were conflicting and when she issued the APB and went out to where their suspect was spotted she brought the young girl back to the station...

Only to discover the young lady was 'innocent'. **I dealt with this for two sim days and the game never generated a proper suspect. After Rosa received her promotion to officer she quit and then rejoined hopefully the next case will receive some actual closure.*** Despite the issues at work Rosa remains upbeat and has taken a keen interest in vampire lore. Rosa's lifetime aspiration is to find a soulmate. Not the easiest task in the world when you work 12 hours a day and your main source of contact is with the less-than-desirable members of society. So when Rosas weekend finally came around she took advantage and headed out to a restaurant with every eligible man she had come across. There were a couple of gentlemen from work, Akira Kibo and Joaquin Le Chien. After getting to know one another over a meal they all headed to a nightclub. Sadly however Rosa was not feeling so well (food poisoning) and had to call it a night. But not before she contacted the restaurant and received a full refund. Food poisoning may have been a blessing in disguise since she really didn't have that kind of money to be spending anyways.

 Dancing 

 by josielita Rosa got home super late that night absolutely dead on her feet.

What I failed to notice was that after Rosa's promotion she no longer had the next day off. So 8 am came around fast for poor Rosa who didn't get home until 4.  As a result, Rosa took the day off and recovered from her food poisoning. She also took the opportunity to head down to the bowling alley to continue her search for mister right. While there she ran into Don Lothario, whom she met briefly at the nightclub the night before and the two took in a game together.

The Bowling Underground by FrostyGGandMom While at the lanes Akira called and asked if she wanted to try another dinner. This time just the two of them and Rosa of course agreed. They met up for a late meal at the Ivory Cast Iron Pan (created by slawfishnubu) an all-night diner nearby.

The pair hit it off and ended the night with a kiss.

It was back to work the next day where Darsh (let's call him Dash from here on out because seriously ea what kind of name is that?!) asked Rosa if she wanted to head to the bowling alley after work. They had hit it off at the group meal so Rosa agreed.

Emboldened from her date with Akira the night before Rosa's confidence was through the roof and she very quickly wanted that first kiss.

This time, however, she also wanted more. Luckily for Dash, he chose the bowling alley and they had a semi-quiet and private place for that.

After the date timer wound down Rosa headed to the gym. She may be looking for her soulmate but she still has a bright career ahead of her and she needs to stay at the top of her game.

Wild Mountain Gym by silversimmer007 Once again while she was out Akira called for yet another dinner date. Luckily for him, Rosa had worked up quite an appetite at the gym and agreed to meet him at the Chinese restaurant next door.

Doraibi's Restaurant by Novahawk35 This time Rosa rolled some wants Akira hadn't unlocked for her before.

It's almost as if with every romantic success Rosa is emboldened and more courageous to take the plunge in her quest for true love. Or perhaps just a quick shag. Who can say? After a week of work and soulmate searching Rosa's romantic prospects have grown substantially from just a week previously.

So what do you think of our founder of founders? Do you think her future love is one of the men we've already met or is he still out there? Part 02 Read the full article

Pleasant Cameos

Spotted:

As Brandi Broke celebrated Beau's birthday at Red's Diner and Bowling Alley, the place was abuzz with familiar faces from all corners of Simtopia. The Caliente sisters brought their fiery personalities to the party, while Gordon King, a mentor to Dustin and who has had a long-time crush on Brandi, tried to muster up the courage to talk to her. From StrangeTown, Olive Specter added a touch of mystery to the gathering. Meanwhile, the iconic Pleasant family graced the scene, with Daniel and Mary Sue attending and Angela, Dustin's girlfriend, joining the festivities. The charming Don and Cassie Lothario also appeared, making the event even more exciting. And who could forget John Burb, always ready for some fun? And amidst all the celebrations, Lucy Burb and Alexander Goth could be found bowling their hearts out with their bestie, creating moments of laughter and camaraderie.

I haven’t posting so much this past year, as I have spend most of my free time painting. But I still play with my sims from time to time and build some cc, even so it never reaches the stage of release-ready-completion these days. But to celebrate Mlys’s super cute Pufferhead Stuff Pack, I thought, I’d share some gameplay pictures of two of my devoted Pufferhead fans.

Perhaps some of you still remember Alexandra Archer and Vendel Driftwood and their children Svea and Lizzy? They have managed to move in with eachother by now. The Harnock House Test decided idealistic, artsy Svea should be a Lettlefloof, while down-to-earth, problem-solver Lizzy is best suited for Alpaggard.
