The Sims 2/Pleasantview

Pleasantview is a neighbourhood included in The Sims 2. It is based on Neighbourhood 1 in the original sims game and contains several sims that were in that neighbourhood such as the Goths. In the storyline, it is set 25 years after the original sims and several characters are either older or deceased. A lot of the homes have changed as well. This article serves not to tell the Pleasantview storyline but to provide you with facts and figures about the neighbourhood.

Sims
Players will recognise several of the sims in this neighbourhood as being in the original sims. The following table introduces you to each sim and provides info about their funds, skills and personality.

Family Ties
Goth Family: Mortimer Goth is the father of Cassandra and Alexander Goth. Cassandra is engaged to Don Lothario (who has no living relatives) and their mother, Bella, has been abducted by aliens and does not live in Pleasantview anymore. It is a mystery as to what truly happened to her.

Caliente Twins: Dina and Nina are fraternal twins. Their grandfather is an  alien which makes an interesting ancestry for these girls.

Oldie/Pleasant/Burb Family: Daniel Pleasant is not only the father of twins, Angela and Lillith Pleasant, but he is also the brother to Jennifer Burb (married to John Burb) and uncle to Lucy Burb. Daniel's wife, Mary-Sue, is shown on the family tree as Herb and Coral Oldie's daughter yet it is inferred that they are adoptive parents.

Dreamer family: Darren is Dirk's father. Darren's wife (and Dirk's mother), Darleen, died before the game begins.

Broke Family: Brandi's husband died before the game starts. She is now the single mother to Dustin, Beau and an unborn child (who remarkably resembles Brandi).
