Also, some of the other pre-made Sims in the Pleasantview storyline are named Skip, Don, and Betty, which are some of the other main characters in the movie, though it's possible that both the game and the movie use these names because they are rather common names or nicknames. The towns' names are very similar, and two of the pre-made Sims in Pleasantview are named Mary-Sue and Jennifer while in the movie, one of the main characters is named Jennifer, possibly associated with Jennifer Burb, and she took the name "Mary Sue" after being transported to Pleasantville. It is likely that the name "Pleasantview" refers to the town called Pleasantville in the 1998 film Pleasantville. Even a family with no significant income will generally have enough to pay one or two rounds of bills. For the families that start out moved-in, the median amount of family funds is around 1000 simoleons. The houses in the housing bin can add further variety, offering a hacienda, a Tudor, a bungalow, and even a farmhouse.įurthermore, there are six pre-made families already living in the neighborhood, and two more in the family bin. Finally, one house is an old shack in the woods. (The game does not treat them as part of a trailer park, but players can.) Several more houses make up a series of condos. Three homes are trailers, and may or may not be part of a trailer park. Out of these 22 houses, there are at least three mansions.
There are a total of 22 residential lots in Pleasantview, and there are another 12 houses in the Lots and Houses bin.
It is also mentioned that Gunther Goth founded Pleasantview. In theory, it is the neighborhood from the original The Sims game 25 years later. Pleasantview ( / ˈ p l ɛ z ə n t v j u/) is one of the three pre-made neighborhoods shipped with The Sims 2. Can anything be done to get the neighborhood feeling good again? A lot has happened in 25 years, but some new faces in town are stirring up rivalries and creating tension for the once happy families.
