I'm kinda glad I started from scratch - much more entertaining!
vecki:
Finally made the decision last night to restart Pleasantview over - this time with much more population control! 1-2 kids max! I'm debating what to do with Brandi Broke, though. (I've left the old saved games on my desktop - I may move them into another account)
Don left Cassandra at the altar - for once. As she's having her nervous breakdown, Don did the 'bleeecchh' Anti-Chemistry move on her and left the lot. Glad I didn't marry them together this time. Cass is furious with Don, and instantly wanted to talk to Darren and Mary-Sue (a couple long phone calls later, she crawled into bed). The next day, I had her call Darren over (called in sick at work - "sorry, had a breakdown, I won't be in today"), and when she greeted him - BAM, wasn't just a hug, it was a full on smooch (interesting that the type of greeting doesn't change relationship status - she was still only best friends with him). It's a sign. So she kissed him and fell in love, got engaged, got married - all at the front door! Even Dirk moved in, which I ummed and ahhed a bit about.
Swapped to the Pleasants. Daniel and Mary-Sue were actually getting on rather well when she left for work, and the girls were apologising back and forth until the moment they had to go to school - they're well on their way to recovering their relationship. Of course, Daniel HAD to woo-hoo with Kaylynn, but they were done before Mary-Sue got home (chance card was a bit late). They were wandering around in their underwear and making out when MS finally got home and I had to SEND her into the lounge to catch them. Furiousness! With both of them! Tells Kaylynn to leave then argues like there's no tomorrow with Daniel. But this time, I didn't have them break up. Angela and Lilith are just oblivious to it all. Angela got her first kiss with Dustin, and Lilith made a new friend with a downtownie teen called Brady. I think. Daniel went to bed and now Mary-Sue refuses to sleep there, all the while thinking of Daniel and Kaylynn with the little furious flames. She may not have seen it, but she KNOWS what happened in that bed! Went into neighbourhood view and looked at the Pleasant family portrait. Daniel and Mary-Sue are now back to back and scowling, Lilith still looks pissed off at the universe, and Angela is shrugging as if to say 'what could I possibly do?'
Swapped to the Lothario house. Don gets his wish to woo-hoo with Nina and Dina (which gives him his 3 woohoo wish after having woohooed with Kaylynn previously. While Kaylynn's there cleaning in between Nina and Dina, he woohoos with her as well. Why not. Now after woohooing with Dina, he of course gets the want to woohoo with 5 sims. The next day he invites Kaylynn over, not knowing that I have plans for him. Before he knows what's happening, he's engaged, married and trying for a baby with Kaylynn. Interestingly, the Woo-hoo with 5 sims want was met! I don't know why this is, except that I guess every time Don woo-hooed with Kaylynn she picked up a woo-hoo doodad above her head. Remember, he never woohooed or married Cass in this incarnation. He has no idea whats coming. Kaylynn's pregnant. Cass is constantly kicking over the rubbish and stealing the newspaper, but she had no carefactor about Kaylynn until she saw her outside gardening. Now Cass has flames around any thoughts of Kaylynn! She obviously knows that Kaylynn has succeeded where she failed!
The Burb family moved in Downtown, and as a sop to John, I let him and Jennifer get pregnant. They have this huge 2 story house (familyfunds cheat) and hardly any room for Lucy (I still had to do some serious remodelling of the place just for a bedroom for her), and it will get worse with the arrival of Baby Burb (I'm hoping for a boy).
And this is without playing the Calientes, Brokes or Oldies!
MissDoh:
I did the exact same thing right after I install Nightlife but since I install it I did not play those neighborhood yet since I was waiting for the patch to be out. Now that it is out, for sure I will have fun again with all the pre-made Maxis families in Pleasantview.
My 1st move will be to make Cassendra a Vampire, it fits her :P And of course she won't marry Don.
Right now I am creating a custom neighborhood that I will play too, I will alternate between those 2 and might also take a peek at Strangetown, no interest in Veronaville since with the new furious state that neighborhood will probably be a complete mess with fights every minute lol. I guess you will have fun with the Pleasant teens...
Good idea espacially if you like those pre-made neighborhood, it is fun to make them have completely new adventure.

I have been cosnidering restarting Pleasantview. I was kind of incompteent when I played it before lol.
How do you restart an individual neighbourhood? It's probably bovious and I;m probably and idiot and deserve to have my lips ripped off.
Dark Trepie:
I never understood why anyone would want Don and Cassandra to get married. I just couldn't do that to the poor girl. Besides, what would you do with Darren then? Let him pine away untill he dies old and lonely?
Besides, Don and Nina need to pass down those Romance genes to the second generation. Pleasentview is sorley lacking in Romancer teens.

Go into your SIms 2 folder (in MyDocuments\EaGames)...........If you want to regenerate all the default neighbourhoods, just remove (delete - or - move elsewhere, outside of the SIms 2 folder if you want to save your original files). If you just want to recreate the default neighborhood 1......then go into the neighbourhood folder and delete N001.
Next time you launch the game, it will regenerate the default hood(s). Have fun!
