Hello everyone!
I'm fairly new and I just wanted to share a few screenshots of my recreated neighborhood from the sims 2. It all started cause a good while ago I just felt bored with my game and decided to just start a new neighborhood from scratch. I deleted houses and since I'm a huge nostalgic person I decided to rebuild Pleasantview. I essentially recreated all the families, with their houses, family trees and all, I created each sim and played them until I reached the same ages they had in the sims 2. I wanted to know also if people thought it was relevant to upload it as a download (like any other mods) but I was refraining from it because it's a save file (with no cc contect except mc commander to avoid culling). It took me a while but I pretty much rebuilt everything and I played as true to the sims 2 as I could, with a few exceptions for the sake of the story I had in my head (just a few little things I'll show eventually)
BTW: I'm currently looking for people to test my savefile, if anyone is interested let me knowby sending me PM! I'll also be uploading all the household and lots to the community soon enough
Anyway to start things up!
Here are some screenshots I took of the teenage years, I had fun with all the playthroughs I did and I developed more relationships between the different sims, in this pleasantview version, Nina and Dina along with all the other sims 2 adults actually met way before. I'll give a preview of them as teenagers.
Brandy, Darleen and Nina were pretty good friends, and well, as teenagers, they all pretty much knew each other from highschool years, some liked eachother, some hated eachother, but they all had some fun together from time to time. Everyone is there and more!
Nina was especially best friend's with Darleen, even though not many liked her, Darleen saw in her someone she could always trust.
Daniel and Skip pretty much hated each other since the first time Skip landed eyes on Brandy, will explain later.
And Don was not very good friends with the boys except with John Burb, who is the only one who didn't get as annoyed by his good looks as the others.
Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to introduce you little by little to everyone again, and at the end I hope I'll be sharing my save with all of you so you can play with them too.
I'll start with the Broke - Pleasants prequel.
Brandy Broke and Daniel Pleasant are great childhood friends. Since they were the first two I recreated, I thought i'd be fun to play it the way I felt it was going, and they became good friends quite easily, so I let it be, and loved it.
They had a very close relationship, to the point of Daniel falling for her with much passion, he never quite voiced it though...of course, Mary-Sue, dispite her "I don't care attitude" secretly chased them over the years.
Of course Daniel's heart was crushed once Brandy fell in love with Skip.
He decided to let her go cause she really was happy, although he didn't like Skip at all and did threatened him if he ever hurt her.
Eventually, Mary-Sue did had her chance with Daniel, even if they had an awkward start, they made it work. I still wonder if Daniel still loves Brandy to this day.
Either way, Brandy and Skip went on to have the family they wanted.
And Daniel and Mary-Sue started their own too. The amazing Pleasant sisters, Angela and Lillith.
And we got to Daniel and Brandy's children meeting at some point too. I like to think Daniel resents the kid cause he reminds him of Skip.
Anyway, I'll continue the little prequels during this week (I didn't want to make this a huge post) and if people are interested in having my save, please send me a message to request it as a tester, since I haven't tested it anywhere but in my and my sister's computer! And yeah, I'm cheesy so that's why I put so much effort into remaking this with al the feels I could put into it :P
Cheers!

Your recreations are great too!
Where are the Oldies?
Today I decided to follow up a bit more into the Pleasant-Oldie category.
Mary Sue was adopted by the Oldies when she was a baby because Coral Oldie couldn't have children on her own, although knowing how generous she is, she didn't mind at all to adopt a child instead. She and Herb had a great family, and Mary-Sue was the luckiest kid on the block, as an only child, she received all the love from all her grandparents and parents alike, we can say she was a bit too spoiled from an early age. (It's funny to me that Brandi had the same situation but she turned out to be the exact opposite)
The oldies used to live in a big house with Coral's parents, but as all the older generation started dying, they decided to retire and bought a smaller house where Coral started her own garden to spend the days. She and Herb also loved fishing and having cookie time with their granddaughters.
Coral and Herb adore her grandchildren, Lilith and Angela often spend weekends or go there after school to spend time with them, Lilith has more in common with Herb than Angela does, maybe because Herb is more aware of the whole "Angela is the favorite kid" situation and is also aware of the constant fights Mary-Sue and Daniel have.
Coral gives the same treatment to both her grand daughters, she loves them and she has tons of fun taking pictures of them often and puts them all over the house.
Despite the fact of Coral and Herb being amazing and loving grandparents, Lilith came to realize one day what Herb Oldie really has been doing for a living all this years, he's a criminal mastermind. Herb and Lilith share that secret and it just made them bond more. We could say that just as the Pleasant like to keep apparences and unsuspecting people would think they are perfect, they have much more things hidden in the dark that one would like to know.
Amyway, as today, Coral and Herb still live happily surrounded by their nice garden and the visits from the granddaughters. Coral is still a bit sad sometimes that Mary-Sue is always working so hard and feels neglected by her, but as nice as she is, she won't say anything.
Herb doesn't care at this point anymore, he just has fun with his granddaughters and expects everything in the Pleasant household will get better soon enough and that he won't hear from any neighbors that Daniel is still sleeping in a tent outside because of some "bad luck".
He doesn't want to hear about Mary-Sue threatening other people that get too close to Daniel either, he just wants peace.
OH, and as bad luck, I meant, Daniel being caught with the maid a few times already.
Oh and a bit of extra fun, here is Mamie Ruggbyrne mourning herself, because why not! She's Coral's mother and she was a fun lady, always cheery and always with a drink in her hands hahah.
I hope everyone enjoyed this part and thank you all for the nice comments, you give me lots of motivation to continue hehe Thanks!
Willow Creek - Pleasantview
Oasis Springs - Strangetown
Windenburg - Veronaville
@BeaElla I would love to see some cool screenshots of that, or more details!
Thanks everyone for the awesome comments Will update soon!
I still play TS2 Pleasantview from time to time. As a matter of fact, I just played it a few nights ago. I cycle through each family for 3 days, and all the newborns at the start are now teens who are starting to date each other.
This really makes me wish that they would someday write a sequel to TS2's timeline. We never did find out if Bella made it back home. It's been 12 years.
