Ranking Pleasantview Households - First Time Playing (After 1 rotation)

After playing 1 round of Pleasantview for the first time ever (all up to the end of Friday), here are my rankings:

Note: I am playing in an Uberhood

8. Oldies

You have to find something to do/give them a purpose. These old folks do nothing but woohoo all day! Coral's desire to constantly woohoo every day (I kid you not) keeps the passion going I guess. They try to throw a couple of parties and even invite Daniel in hopes of fixing his relationship with Mary Sue (since they're old fashioned), but Daniel's not even trying anymore, and he doesn't entertain them. Every time the twins are invited to their home, there's always a fight! To keep their mind off the family problems, the Oldies decide to get jobs and just go on a date. What else can you do?

What I enjoyed: When the twins visit and fight. What I hated: There is nothing interesting about them! I know people say Herb cheats in their game, but Coral wanting to woohoo with him everyday prevents that lol. Possible Storyline to make them better: Maybe Lilith should move in with them to add plot and make me invested in these old folks. (Either Lilith willingly moves into their house or Mary Sue sends her there to straighten her out!)

---------------------- 7. Burb

The Burbs are kind of standard, nothing interesting going on. Description says John loves gardening, so I had him struggle in that. Jennifer struggles with her career. Not really well off so Lucy doesn't get into private school. With John, a stay at home dad with a weed-infested garden, and Jennifer, who just got fired from her music career and is now a level 1 dance, Lucy seems more mature than the both of them, being responsible in her homework, and gaining new friends.

What I enjoyed: I'm kinda invested in Lucy Burb. I want her to be successful and have her own life but... What I hated: I know John and Jennifer will just be the Oldies 2.0 without Lucy. Possible Storyline to make them better: They need to start a business ASAP, since they're kind of flops in the career department. Maybe they're meant to be entrepreneurs 🤷

---------------------- 6. Lothario

Yes he's part of the main story/drama but his wants are very repetitive: meet a chick, go on a date, woohoo, rinse and repeat. I almost want him to get caught to shake things up, but that would be too convenient for the story. What I enjoyed: He helps drive the story so I'm invested in him. What I hated: How repetitive his wants are ugh. Possible Storyline to make him better: Get caught, but not anytime soon.

---------------------- 5. Dreamer

Darren's storyline was so reliant on Cassandra Goth. His obsession with her is I think due to him mourning his wife. They ended up developing an emotional affair when Bella Goth was found, out of happiness (which I didn't plan BTW, Cassandra just invited us to Downtown with her friends and with her MOTHER, Bella Goth so I took this to mean that she was found). This all came tumbling down when Darren and Brandi had a fling (this was ACR) after realizing both of them were pining for unavailable/married people. Cassandra crashing out made Darren lose his idealization of her, and that helped him move on.

What I enjoyed: Dirk seems to have a bright future, aspiring for promotions on his part-time Music job. I also liked that Darren is navigating the dating field after the loss of his wife. With an initial obsession with Cassandra, a fling with Brandi, and now he seems interested in Bianca Monty. Also love the random bills scattered. What I hated: Initial obsession with Cassandra (but I got rid of that) Possible Storyline to make them better: I think he should get with Bianca Monty. Darren Dreamer in Veronaville sounds awesome, especially since he's an artistic person, he's a painter.

---------------------- 4. Broke

Brandi's focus was not to teach her kids skills, but to scout for men, and she ended up with Morty Roth. After several DAILY dates, she wants to marry Morty but he doesn't feel the same and doesn't wanna leave his wife. Even after Brandi had a fling with Darren, she still wants to marry Morty. I think she cares more about the money and getting her three kids (now with Skip Jr.) out of poverty, without actually having to get a job of course. And Dustin, I feel might resent his mom in the long run, as he is now stuck in the life of crime to provide for the family to pay for nannies and maids as his mom is constantly away on dates.

I love how tacky Brandi is. She doesn't clean, there's a neon flamingo in the kitchen area, her two kids sleep on the hallway while her room looks lavish. She doesn't even parent Dustin, he plays loud music and has a pinball machine in his room. Maybe because he's "the man" of the household that she doesn't parent him anymore? I don't have a lot of hope that the other two boys will be better than him if he's the oldest sibling they're supposed to look up to.

What I enjoyed: Struggle of raising that many kids and tacky Brandi. What I hated: I'm just not rooting for them lol (which is great). Possible Storyline to make them better: I'm thinking, since they're all boys, and Dustin is already in the criminal career... I'm gonna turn them into a mob family, like Sopranos style, and Dustin is gonna climb his way into being a mob boss... And if you watch the Sopranos, I think Dustin and Brandi might have a Tony and Livia relationship, in terms of resentment (but not as bad, just a bit). And with Dustin's girlfriend's mom, Mary Sue, working in Politics, since he works in crime, that would be a great juxtaposition and would put Angela in a sticky situation.

This family has the potential to be my favorite household in Pleasantview given the possible storyline.

---------------------- 3. Caliente

The Caliente sisters were very fun to play, loved their storylines. Nina and Dina stops talking after Dina marries Mortimer, just like when Dina married Michael Bachelor. Nina is all alone again, so she gets a job and scouts for men in public lots lol.

She meets a guy, he gets attached and proposes to her. Now engaged, she had the desire to cheat, so she tried to find a new man to have a one night stand with, but just sees Don, and decides to go for it. She was basically given the chance to have a good life with this man, but she has no intentions of changing anytime soon. She's right back where she started.

Dina had the craziest plot. After successfully getting Mortimer to marry her, Bella Goth was soon found. Mortimer quickly divorced Dina. To not loose all that she worked hard on, she hatched a plan to get pregnant by Don and claim the baby as Mortimer's. This plan worked, and she got to stay in the Goth mansion throughout the pregnancy and the infancy of baby Edward Goth.

What I enjoyed: Dina's shamelessness in forcing herself into the Goth's lives, and Nina feeling lost and adapting without her sister again. She had a possible turning point, but rejected it. I also love how they're leading separate lives compared to the start of the game. What I hated: Not really hated but Nina seemed so lost to me. Nina has a job though, which is good. Possible Storyline to make them better: To me Nina seems insecure. She doesn't know what to do without her sister and she constantly looks for validation through one night stands. Will she ever change? And if she does change, will she accept her sister with open arms in case Dina has to move in with her again?

---------------------- 2. Goth

Cassandra marries Don, and Mortimer marries Dina, standard yada yada, stuff. What I enjoyed was when the Lothario-Goths (now with baby girl Andrea) move out next door, I got to renovate the house in Lothario-Goth fashion.

Then, second plot twist was when Bella Goth was found. Mortimer quickly divorced Dina and proposed to Bella. Dina then announced she was pregnant and so the Goths were forced to keep her in the Goth mansion to check on the baby.

What I enjoyed: I renovated the Goth mansion and the Lothario-Goth house, and it was for me, the best part. With infinite cash basically, I had the freedom to renovate. Not to mention, the constant plot kept me glued to my seat! They drive their own plots, but are also driven by Nina Caliente and Don Lothario. They produce the most drama/lore. What I hated: Once Bella and Mortimer get their happy ending, they're gonna be so boring I bet. Also, Bella is boooringgg. I think she's so idealized that playing her is a bit of a let down. I need to make some storylines for her quick. Also hated, but in a good way, how desperate Cassandra Goth is. She was looking for an admirer in Darren Dreamer. She was so hurt when she saw him and Brandi, why lol? But after that ended, she now wants Pascal Curious to admire her, but he's never available lol. Maybe she's insecure with Don. She hasn't caught him yet but has a suspicion (this is great drama). Possible Storyline to make them better: I think Bella should be a celebrity author or something and makes up lies to get her book to sell (since she doesn't remember anything). Or maybe I can have Dina whack them both? I'll think about it.

Also, Alexander is coming into his own. We'll see what he wants to do with his life.

---------------------- 1. Pleasant

I didn't expect to be so invested in the story of this family. Mary Sue catches Daniel with Kaylynn Langerak. She has a full on breakdown... but the headmaster is coming over on the same day! She pretends her family is perfect and the kids get into private school! After that, she unleashes her anger on Daniel, and so he decides to move out. Mary Sue is in left in tears as he leaves.

Daniel originally wanted to move in with the Burbs, but they rejected him, and so, he settles in an apartment ASAP. By digging, he earned enough money to rent the apartment for the week before going to work. Concerned about the cost, he decides to ask Kaylynn if she wants to move in with him. She accepts this, but then her mind starts wandering... Now she wants to get married to him! Hold up- he's not even divorced yet! He used to have the want to fall back in love with Mary Sue but Kaylynn made him forget about that for now. Mary Sue also had a brief want to talk to Daniel, but that went away. Mary Sue needs to do some yoga, meditation, all that, since her life is falling apart. Her husband moved out, and her kids fight everyday. The twin girls have their respective cliques, boyfriends, friends, and part-time jobs, which is good.

What I enjoyed: Daniel moving out was the inciting incident for their story. I love that he now has to work hard. I also love Kaylynn wanting this man to commit to her oh so desperately. And I also love how Mary Sue feels like she's losing grasp on everything. Soon enough, her kids will move out and it will just be her, no one left to control. What I hated: When you load into the Pleasant household, it starts at a Thursday (I think), which didn't give me enough time for this rotation. Regardless, in the span of ~2 days, that gave me enough time to be invested in these characters, so #1 spot for sure. Possible Storyline to make them better: Will Mary Sue and Daniel get back together👀?? Also, Angela seems like a "gifted kid" in a bad way, like "peak in high school" kind of way, so I think she'll struggle. Lilith to me is so misunderstood. She's the only one brave enough to rebel against the controlling nature of her mother. I think when she grows up, she'll actually strive to be successful to prove herself.

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

Final thoughts: I wanted to play 1 more rotation of Pleasantview before moving to the next 'hood of the Uberhood, but since Brandi has relations with Morty Roth, who is in Riverblossom Hills, I'll have to start moving to the next hoods. I have yet to integrate the Burbs and the Oldies into the story. So I think Lillith moving in with the Oldies is a great idea. The Burbs... not sure yet. Lastly, I have to say, Bella Goth disappointed me (since she's basically a blank slate after being abducted) and Kaylynn Langerak surprised me (she's a bit naive but all she wants is to have a happy family which humanizes her for me, which was unexpected given that she is originally an NPC).

P.S. You know the story/lore is good when you can't even finish one rotation of a household, and you have to switch between multiple households because the stories are just so intertwined.

Going vanilla... deleted my realistic cc of 15 gigabytyes!

A few days ago, I found a USB in my house, which I then proceeded to use to backup all my Sims 2 files. I had 16 GB of mods, and it took 2-3 hours to transfer all of that into the USB.

Aside from the slower loading times of the game, this made me realize how far I've drifted from the aesthetic of the game.

Don't get me wrong, the realistic cc that I have downloaded looks great, but I realize I only downloaded all that stuff because I came from the Sims 3/4 to the Sims 2 (started playing S2 exclusively around 4 years ago).

I never really gave the game the chance, and to actually play it as intended. I didn't embrace the cartoony nature, and I also didn't embrace the premade neighborhoods. I have never played the premades.

Because of this, I decided to give it a shot.

My mods folder is, from ~11.5 GB, now 166 MB only! Wow! And it only takes the game exactly 25 seconds to load (from 5 mins!). So freeing.

I only have the basic default replacements (i.e. skin, eyes, eyebrows, face templates, etc.), mod fixes (remove box shadows, date stood up fix, etc.) and the essential mods (ACR, Community time project, etc.)

I found that with maxis match eyes and skin, I actually don't mind the base game hairs.

I'm doing this not only for the performance boost and file size saving, but also to have the ability to actually share my save files easily. I want it so that when I share my save files, the downloader sees exactly what I see.

For the past week on my spare time, I've started an Uberhood, so that I can give the premade hoods a shot. I plan on rotating every 2 rotations (8 days, where 1 day = 1 year).

Again, this is my first time playing with the premades in the Sims 2!

I'll make another post after I finish one rotation of Pleasantview.

From setting it up, I'm looking forward to Bluewater Village. Least looking forward to Veronaville (although it looks the best).

Will still use my realistic cc, if I'm inspired to create sims in bodyshop, but I'll be sticking to vanilla-compatible mods for gameplay.

If you've seen my previous posts about me making a custom hood, I've shelved that one for now, so those posts are now privated. Focusing on the Uberhood now, which I know, will last like forever lol.

Sims 2 Skin Adjuster Program V2 (Create your own custom skintone!)

Hello, this is version 2 of my skin adjuster program.

Firstly, what is the "why" of this program?: If you've ever made a custom skin in the Sims 2 you know how tedious it is to do because you have to manually edit each bmp file and there are 40 bmp files for just one skin. This program aims to help in that. With this program if you want to quickly blend skins or adjust the color, saturation, etc. you can do it quickly in an instant, and the program will apply your changes to all the bmp files, no need to do it manually anymore! It's like an automated Photoshop.

If you've seen my Tumblr post on the V1 of this program, here are the the main updates that i made since then: 1. UI for the program, not command line anymore yay! 2. Teeth and eye areas of the skins are now unaffected 3. Added a color overlay feature

Quick no sound, straight to the point video demo of the program:

Disclaimer: This program only works on Windows. Also, if you use Bodyshop instead of SimPe to import or export the bmp files of the skins, there will be a slight reduce in quality, to no fault of my program. This is due to the compression problem of Bodyshop (I talked about it in a previous Tumblr post).

Download the Program here (Mediafire)

All types of feedback are welcomed! Happy Simming! Note: not sure if i explained it well but, for the output folder, you can either make a new folder or use a folder that already exists. If there are already bmp files in the output folder, the program will replace those.

P.S. Took me a while to write this Tumblr post. I was already done but Tumblr didn't save it : /

Sims 2 Bodyshop Compression Problem + Skintone Editor Program Update

Found another problem with TS2. Bodyshop compresses bmp textures when you import or export when making cc. This leads to that whole pixelated texture thing. I know cc experts probably know this but I'm new to this whole thing.

So as for my skin editor program, it 100% works, but you can't use it directly to Bodyshop because of the compression thing (texture pixelation, low-qual is because of Bodyshop). At least I know the skin pixelation is not a problem of my program but a Bodyshop problem.

To get around that problem and have non-pixelated skins, don't use Bodyshop when dealing with textures. Here's how you do that: 1. If you have a skin that you like, open it's package file instead of exporting it using Bodyshop. This does mean manually exporting all 40 bmp files of that skin into a folder. 2. Then after it's in a folder, use that as input for my program. Modify the skin, then export from my program to a random folder. 3. Then only use Bodyshop, to generate the .package file for the skin, then import the project to your game to make it into a .package file. 4. Open that .package file generated using SimPe, then replace the bmp files with the edited skin files from my program.

And that's the known way to work around the Bodyshop compression problem so far as I know. Tedious, but now I know it's not a problem of my program but a problem of Bodyshop.

Version 2 of my Skin Editor will be released next week, will make a video tutorial alongwith.

If you have any fixes that solve the Bodyshop compression thing on your computer or if you don't mind the slight texture quality loss, you can use my program directly to Bodyshop, but if not, you have to import/export manually in SimPe.

My program will aid in you not having to manually edit each skin if you want to achieve a certain color/shade, skips that process of manual recoloring.

Have a skin tone variant you like and the program will manually apply it to all 40 bmp files of that skin in an instant.

WIP Sims 2 Skintone Editor Program V2

decided to make a UI for the program. might be done w/ this around next week.

[handonthemouse]

WIP Sims 2 Skintone Editor Program V2

Hi everybody, so I have a few ideas to improve the program, so there will be a version 2 on the way. On, the top of my head, here are the improvements that I plan on doing: 1. Adding a color overlay to the skins - So maybe if there's too high of a contrast on the skin and it gets pixelated, an option to add a color overlay to the entire skin may work to lessen the harshness/contrast but still keep the color of the skin itself.

2. Extracting teeth and eye positions - This was a problem I had with the program months ago and I just remembered. Since the program changes the color of everything, it also affects the color of the eyes and teeth (if you don't have replacements/overlays). I might do something where there's a third option to make sure that teeth and eyes stay unaffected while changing the color of the skintones.

3. Work on the saturation feature - Now, I don't know yet how to fix this but with enough Googling I know I can. So, the problem is when you saturate, it oftentimes saturates the middle and lighter parts more than the darker areas, which leads to that patchy look sometimes.

How my randomized Sims look like in the Sims 2

After all that effort for my game, downloading default replacements, townifying every cc hair and clothing I have donwnloaded, editing, townifying and geneticizing the skintone and eyes, and creating the face templates, all of which took months... It's all worth it, I love how the randomized Sims look. And add that with easily being able to Gussy Up randomized townies that spawn and I'm happy with the outcome

[handonthemouse]

Hi, thanks! I did make it with Windows in mind, but the download does include the python file itself which you can run in Linux. But yeah, I hope it works on your end. Thanks again ✌️

Sims 2 Skintone Editor Program

Since Sims 2 is an old game, it only has a limited amount of skintones, even the cc ones. And, if you want to create new skintones, you know that it's no easy task, with all the BMP files and such for just one skintone alone. Well, now, with this program, you don't have to manually adjust all of them, this program does that for you.

So, this program has two key features, 1. is to blend two skintones (if you want to make a middle shade from two skins, or blend two different skins from different cc creators and make a hybrid of that), and 2. adjust a skintone (brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation).

Video demonstration of me using the program (on Youtube):

Download the Program here (Mediafire)

Zip file contains two files, the python file (for transparency) and the actual exe program file.

If there's any errors, and/or if the program works on your computer please let me know so I can fix it. Constructive and positive feedback are absolutely welcomed! Happy Simming!

Note: I was able to make this image editor program because i have both a background in arts and in computer science, and mix that with a love for the Sims 2, and that's why I made this.

Update: Tried it on a separate machine it works y'all!

Sims 2 Eyes Recolors

I've had this in my game for about a year now, just sharing it here. My recolors of CuriousB's Magic Theatre eyes, the eyes I personally use.

Important Notes: 1. I use equal genetics so no recessive eyes 2. Only the darker eye colors are townified/randomized.

DOWNLOAD (MEDIAFIRE)

P.S. I'm only sharing this because this is what I personally use in my game. If the original creator needs me to delete this, I will ✌️

Create a Sim - Jason and Lucia

My attempt at creating Jason and Lucia from the new GTA VI trailer a few days ago in the Sims 2. Couldn't find a decent buzz cut for Jason, but I think I made Lucia spot on.

RE: Sims 2 Offspring Facial Distortion

Really surprised that this isn't talked about that much. There's only a couple of sources I found talking about it. (Links - 1 2 3) But, basically what Offspring Facial Distortion does is that your sims' offspring in TS2 won't inherit the EXACT features from the parent Sims. There will be some distortion to the facial structure (i.e. for female sims - longer chin, more upper eyelid, etc.) Apparently, this isn't a problem with the templates, it's hardcoded in the game itself, so sadly no fixes.

For the rest of the post, I will refer to this as OFD in short. And, as a former Sims 4 player (last played 3 years ago), this isn't just a Sims 2 problem, in TS4, offsprings will have recessed chins. (Link to reddit posts talking about it - 1 2) Both TS2 and TS4 have this as part of the code of their respective games, so as you have offsprings in both games, their faces will have some form of distortion, even if you try to fix it. Not sure if there's also OFD in the Sims 3.

For the default face templates I've made and how OFD affects it, It's really different for Male vs Female Sims, which really goes to show that it's a game/coding problem since I made my male and female face templates look as close as possible. So, for my male sims, it's ignorable, but for female sims: 1) chin and jaw get lower and 2) upper eyelid gets higher. Solution to that is plastic surgery, w/ all the custom sliders I have installed, I found that 3-4 ticks to lift chin up, also 3-4 to make jaw smaller, and then 3-4 ticks to lower upper eyelid does the trick to make my sims look like their parents. Here's the OFD in action (all ages - original face vs offspring face) I used the same face template for the parents to show the differences between the original and the offspring.

NGL, the teens kinda look better with the distortion lol, but for my adult female sims, the chin gets soooo longggg, and the eyelid too, like whaatttt.

Also, I know in the GIF, the original faces look like they have weak chins, but they don't it's just a CAS thing. It looks normal in bodyshop and in game.

IDK how it is for others, but for my game, OFD is still in action even if the parents don't have the same face template. The offsprings will still have the changes in the GIF above applied to them.

So, at the end of the day, since there's no fix to this, what I'll be doing personally is just giving my Sims plastic surgery with Gussy up.

It might seem DRASTIC in CAS, but trust, in-game, it's not that drastic at all, maybe because the gameplay is good lol. It's only drastic if the offspring inherits a weak jaw from the parent sim/s, because since the offspring will inevitably have a long chin, the weak jaw is gonna make the long chin more apparent.

My advice is that if you notice it, then just give your sims plastic surgery. But, if you don't notice it, even if you know that it's a mechanic in the game, why bother doing it every time.

Maybe that's why it's not that talked about that much, maybe it's just that nobody cares about it like that.

That's about it though, kinda sucks but what are you gonna do. 🤷

Note: I'm not using the Sims 2 Steam version released this year by EA so IDK if they've got this issue fixed there.

See how the camera angle is different in CAS vs Bodyshop and in game? That's why I use Bodyshop when creating Sims, and not CAS.

TIL: You can install reshade on bodyshop

Just found out you can install reshade on bodyshop too. Idk if I'm late to the party or what. But, it's the same way you install it in your game. I kinda dig it. Now I can see what my Sims actually look like with in-game lighting (Copy-paste your in-game reshade presets into your bodyshop folder location).

Realistic Sims 3-4 Inspired Face Templates for the Sims 2! No More Long Faces!

I started playing the Sims 2 solely, about 2 years ago. Ever since, I like my Sims to have a certain facial proportion. I know some Sims 2 players like the long-face cartoony look of the sims in the Sims 2... but I personally don't. It inhibits me from making people that look real and unique imho. So behold! New DEFAULT face templates for the Sims 2! I made this for myself but I can share it here as well.

Features: 1. Inspired by different faces around the world. I wanted the faces to be as diverse as possible 2. No more gender differences! Maxis Face Templates makes it so that when you switch from Female to Male, the brows go sooo looww, the nose, chin and jaw gets soo big, and the lips become nonexistent basically. Well no more! (this took a lot of time to do) 3. All faces have the same proportions (same eye, nose, and chin height) so you can mix and match all of the faces and you won't end up with an unproportionate sim! 4. Includes default alien face template replacement as well! Watch Video for reference:

Before Installing: 1. Take any default face templates you currently have in your game if any. 2. Gonna look ugly if you make children with my face template and maxis'. The outcome is gonna look unproportional so don't do that Suggestions: 1. Use my cc skintones + Magic Theatre Eyes by CuriousB (Default). This is what I use, but feel free to experiment with other. 2. Remove all pre-made townies (video by PleasantSims) so that your game can generate new sims with my face templates 3. Download hair replacements since Maxis' hair has a high hairline. 4. Works best if you prefer to create your own custom neighborhood from scratch. Since Maxis neighborhoods have sims with the default long faces. 5. For better access of sliders and face templates, I would suggest to create Sims in BodyShop and not In-game 6. Credit to all the Simmers who've made custom face sliders! I wouldn’t have been able to make these without those sliders, and I suggest you download them here. 7. Download Treeag's Hider for Maxis Sims. Which hides the sims that Maxis created so that your CAS and Bodyshop will only have Sims that you've created yourself This has been one year in the making. When I started, the toddler and child face templates were royally messed up, so I had to painstakingly edit all 28, then, male and female sims look different so I had to manually change them all as well to eliminate all that. This took me months of not playing the game to finish making this. This is what I have been using in my game and so I'm just sharing it here in case anyone wants them as well.

DOWNLOAD (Mediafire)

Credit to Argon for the face template fixes, which I've included in the download since other face template replacements also include them in their downloads.

Note: Might change either Face Template 22 or 23, but idk what. If you have any face-suggestions let me know. Next thing on my list is to upload my recolors of CuriousB's Magic Theatre Eyes and my Default face replacement for the pollination technician and ideal plantsim. Alien face template for PT replacement and face 26 for IP replacement. WIP
