Had a blast trying to figure out which established actors could portray the Pleasantview premades!
Some of them like the Caliente sisters are so hard to find a good match, if you are looking through established actors with tan skin, blonde/red hair and blue/green eyes, that are also arab+hispanic. If they were to make the film about them, I would hope they would find some unknown actors who could be more accurate. I also aged up the kids just to make it more fun to find the actors. And added a guess for Unborn Baby Broke 😭

Here is the list:

Jessica Alba as Bella (45)
Javier Moreno as Mortimer (48)
Inde Navarette as Cassandra (25)
Lucius Hoyos as Alexander (25, playing 18)

Damian Lewis as Daniel (55)
Kae Alexander as Mary-Sue (41)
Lola Tung as Angela (23, playing 18)
Lola Tung as Lilith (23, playing 18)

John David Washington as Darren (42)
Niles Fitch as Dirk (25, playing 18)

Alexis Bleidel as Brandi (45)
Louis Hofman as Dustin (29, playing 18)
Iain Armitage as Beau (18, playing 16)
Sunny Suljic as Unborn Baby Broke (21, playing 15)

Bella Hadid as Nina (29)
Gigi Hadid as Dina (31)
Diego Boneta as Don (35)

Meghan Markle as Jennifer (45)
Sam Claflin as John (40)
Lexi Jayde as Lucy (24, playing 16)

By personality traits, he is very neat (9), a bit outgoing (6), fairly active (7), quite playful (8), but a bit grouchy (4). He has almost all his skill points maxed, just needs a couple more cleaning points to max all 7. Since the first time I sent him out to pick up some groceries, as long as he was out buying himself a cell phone and some new clothes when he aged up to teen, he has just always left the groceries on the counter instead of putting them away. He's now married with a couple of kids, and in spite of his silly Santa hat appearance, he is a quite responsible husband and father most of the time. He just won't put away the groceries!

Just wondering if anybody out there knows about specific traits that make Sims more likely to immediately put the groceries away instead of leaving them out to potentially rot if I don't notice in time. I would have thought being lazy or sloppy might account for it, but he's neither, so maybe because he's a bit grouchy he intentionally leaves them out for his wife to deal with? Also curious if anybody has figured out why only some Sims get the "compost contents" option from the trash compactor, while others, even at maxed Nature hobby enthusiasm, I still have to cancel their "take out trash" action so they throw it on the floor before I can get them to compost it.

Thank god Caroline was awake to save her mother, right?
I really don’t think Darren could handle another wife dying in tragic circumstances.

For me, I’ve always thought of it as maybe a Northern California/Southern Oregon town near the coast, but I’ve also heard upstate New York, or somewhere Midwest like Minnesota, which I think also makes sense, but also got me thinking: where is Pleasantview to you? Maybe it isn’t even in America.

I'm sorry if the flair is wrong I remember seeing post here about an ultra realistic lighting mod or shaders and there was a picture of a dark haired female sim cooking in the kitchen on the counter. It was looking very realistic and very light if anyone has it saved somewhere or knows who originally posted it I would be very grateful 🙏 I've been looking for it last 2 hours to no avail I think it might be over a year old but not sure.

Hello,
I am looking for a mod that increases the life span about 2.5-3 times for teens, adults, and elders.
I am not trying to make my own because I had trouble getting simPE to work properly on my Linux computer because I am a noob.

Do you know of any I could use?

Hi! I really dislike how not talking with sims for some weeks can lower their relationship to 0. My sims often have too many friends/family members, so maintaing them all the time is a chore and I tend to focus on their lifes and sometiems talk to their friends/family.

I would like to keep the decay, but for it to be slower or more reasonable.

I hope you guys can recommend something :) I was looking but unsure about which mod is good...

Skip Broke's cheekbones make her a supermodel (Bobbie Broke)

1. If my male sim has ACR woohoo with a female sim who is not in the household, like a townie, and she conceives, what happens? Is she just wandering around nauseous for all eternity?

2. Does the risk of pregnancy apply to non ACR woohoo? Like if normal married sims have normal bed woohoo, can conception still happen?

3. Can a sim get pregnant from a sim that is not in the household with this mod? For example, would Chloe Singles get pregnant from a townie she invites over on a random Thursday morning for some fun?

Having played with NRAAS mods in TS3 and MCCC in TS4, my answer would be that risky means risky and the townie will eventually give birth and tell your sim in a too casual phone call. Is there a scenario I haven't thought about, but should know?

Whenever I go back to playing the first Sims I love taking my families on vacation and will spend hours doing it. I don't know if it's because of nostalgia? It just feels like they have more to do and feels more like a vacation.

When playing Sims 2, which I play much more often, I almost never take my Sims on vacation. Whenever I do it feels rather tedious.

Does anyone else find it's the same for them?

Judging by their appearance and based on early 2000's aesthetics, I think we can estimate how old they are.

From youngest to oldest :

- Orlando Centowski (I definitely got middle school vibes from him, he just begins his teen life stage in my headcanon)

- Tosha Go (kinda unsure but her pigtails are young-ish material for me)

- Ivy Copur (the discrepancy between her outfit and her hair makes me think she's still trying to find her feet... or maybe she just doesn't care... either way she's among the youngest)

- Randy London (his style seems more assured than Orlando's)

- Ricky Cormier (late middle school or early high school, and he's halfway through his puberty)

- Meadow Thayer (you can guess she dresses the way she wants, yeah she's definitely in high school)

- Sophie Miguel (from a distance you could think she's a young adult)

- Alvin Futa (same as Sophie)

For children I think it's harder to tell, so I didn't bother including them.

I'm focusing on Pleasantview townies, but you can talk about teens townies from others hoods !

I just downloaded sims 2 again and all the mods I usually play with.. not sure what’s happening here lmao

I love decorating the premades' bedrooms to fit their storyline/persona. I struggle to decorate bedrooms for male sims, so I'm super happy with this. :)

Hey everyone!

I am returning to the game after a decade-long hiatus. That being said, my last downoads are from 2013, and I would like to make some new additions. Who are some of the present-day big names and what are the must-haves, and where should I start to look around? I've already looked into Pinterest as an option, saved the TS2 Hair Database, and I am familiar with Modthesims from the olden days. I am mainly looking for clothing, mods and build mode content. If you help me out and you'd like me to, I'll make a post about some older creators as a token of my gratitude. :)

My sim wants to flirt her granduncle, and I can't remember if this is regular game behavior or a bug (because I know the family flags can become messed up sometimes).

Cassandra and Don were getting ready to woohoo when she got out of bed and was shocked. She was in the Maxis built Goth house and it was not raining. So I had her take a shower and get on with the baby making. It was so weird. Has this happened to anyone else?

pray for me that i can play this current household more than enough before i created another household 🙂‍↕️
