I played a few of my households in my Pleasantview hood, it was pretty eventful.
Pleasantview
- Darren Dreamer is continuing to paint, but funds are getting low and he's not sure if he can afford his family home for much longer. He's also stuck between two women, the long term love of his life Cassandra and a new girl on the scene, Laura. He's not enjoying 'playing the field' and is seriously considering his next steps as he wants to take his relationship to the next level and re-marry but with who?
- Dirk Dreamer is preparing for university. He got a job in the Business career which is his long term goal, but sadly lost it on his first day. Something to do with dropping biscotti into his boss's coffee
He was hoping his childhood sweetheart Lilith Pleasant would cheer him up, but since her mum and dad got divorced she has been even more off the rails, Dirk can't handle it and their young romance is fizzling out.
- Cassandra Goth returned from a vacation to Takemizu Village with her BFF Mary-Sue Oldie (No longer a Pleasant after she caught Daniel and the maid, and didn't buy the story that he was 'helping her change the bed sheets') as they went for some respite after their simultaneous break-ups. Whilst away Cassandra found out she was pregnant with her ex-fiance Don's baby. This added to the emotional breakdown she was already having. She decided to keep the baby and extended her vacation so she could spend most of her pregnancy away from Don's sight. She got home in time to celebrate her little brother Alex turning into a teenager and then later that night gave birth to a little baby boy, Draven Goth. He has a rather gothic nursery in the attic and if she gets her way, Don will have no part in his life (at this stage he doesn't even know his first son exists).
- After being kicked out of the family home by his wife and his daughters practically disowning him as their father, Daniel Pleasant has moved into a tiny 2 bedroom condo at the edge of Pleasantview. Kaylynn used what little savings she had to help him buy it after she was fired from her job as a maid for unacceptable behaviour. Daniel is pretty miserable and Kaylynn is getting fed up despite the fact they have only lived together a short amount of time. She is desperate for a baby, and feels Daniel may make things more official (a ring perhaps?) if she was to get pregnant. Luckily for her, there is more than just Daniel on offer to make this a possibility.
Sim State University
- In the Bright household, Jane Stacks has finally graduated and is now deciding if she wants to live in Pleasantview or Bluewater Village. She has decided she wants to open up her own pet store, so is figuring out where is best to do that.
- Allegra Gorey is trying to win over the newest Freshman girl in the Tri-Var Sorority House, Tori Wilson, but the majority of the men on campus are proving to be quite the competition
- Heather Huffington is woohooing her way through university in an attempt to achieve her LTW of having 20 Simultaneous lovers, meanwhile Brittany Upsnott is taking her sloppy seconds out on dates, as she trys to get 50 First dates
- Tiffany Sampson is starting to develop feelings for Kevin Beare, but is still holding out hope that Castor Nova will settle down with her after university has ended, so doesn't want to act upon her new found feelings for Kevin.
- Ashley Pitts is making enemies with almost everyone, except one person (remember that new sorority girl Allegra likes? Well she likes Ashley)
Bluewater Village
- Gilbert Jaquet continued to run the family bakery under the scrutiny of his mother, Denise. Much to her dissatisfaction, he was spending more and more time working out and going on dates, and less time in the Bakery. Denise nagged and nagged him, threw away his gym clothes, scared off his lady-friends and in the end Gilbert decided enough was enough, he sat his mum down and explained his passion was in sport, not baking and he wanted to give up the bakery to fufil his dreams of being an athlete, before it was too late (and time was ticking). Denise didn't like this and forbid him from doing such a thing, she threatened to kick him out and take over the bakery herself, which didn't suit Gilbert as he could use the money to help him get started on his own. After constant nagging Gilbert snapped. Whilst his mother cleaning up he starting baking some cakes for the bakery, satisfied that her nagging had worked, Denise relaxed and went for a nap. Once his mother was in a deep sleep Gilbert dismantled the smoke alarm, turned the oven up with the cake inside and went for a jog, being sure to lock the door behind him. Let's just say when he came back the house was up in flames and the only person walking around the lot was good ole' Grim.
