We begin the Megahood with Pleasantview, which has been around since the dawn of The Sims. As I mentioned, I turned back time here, beginning just after TS1. I recreated the lots and sims that existed in TS1, sprinkled in a couple of TS2 community lots, threw in some apartments, and (with a little research on TS3, which I don't have) expanded the Broke family tree by creating some characters who were present there, but never mentioned in other Sims games. All the other neighborhoods were rewound in the same fashion. I've played for about 25-ish sim days now, which means some stuff has already changed. Sims have been born, died, fallen in and out of love, become supernatural creatures, and much more. Though I do have some general rules/guidelines in place, I mostly play to sims' wants here. So don't blame me if your favorite sim is cheating on their spouse or being a degenerate - it's all their choice, lol. Anyway, let's get started.
Burb: Brad and Tiffany Burb live at 63 Gunther Goth Highway in an old farmhouse with an apple orchard out back. Brad writes cookbooks for a living and Tiffany is a high school teacher. Their adult son John has recently moved back home after suffering some financial difficulties while living on his own. Good thing they kept his teenage bedroom just the same for him. Whenever Brad is not working on his books, he's out tending the orchard or the vegetable garden. Consequently, he recently became a plant sim, which he seems to be perfectly content with. John has a job as a convenience store clerk, which leaves plenty of time for him to hang out with his girlfriend, Jessica Peterson. Well, he thinks she's his girlfriend; in reality she's seeing a number of different men and it's probably only a matter of time before she breaks his heart. In any event, they had a date recently that ended in Jessica being bitten by the Contessa. We'll have to wait and see how she feels about that when we get to Belladonna Cove.
Oldie: Herb Oldie lives just across the street from the Burbs at 64 Gunther Goth Highway in a small cottage with lots of rosebushes and a few apple trees. He makes a living working as a piano tuner. Sadly, his wife Coral was killed in a fire a while ago. Or maybe not that sadly, given that Herb was never the faithful type. Maybe that's why he's estranged from his only daughter Mary Sue? Currently he's dating Melissa Smith*, though she has a live-in boyfriend, so it's probably not that serious. He happened to run into John Burb and Jessica Peterson while they were on a date recently and was completely taken with Jessica. He thinks she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen and wants desperately to get to know her better. He may have to take a number with that one.
*Melissa is one of the Roomies from TS1. I read somewhere that in one of the console games Melissa and Chris had been given the surnames of Smith and Jones, so I applied that here.
That's all I've got for today. Tomorrow we'll visit the Oak Street Trailer Park, where I rebuilt the Hick trailer from TS1, Brandi Broke's trailer from TS2, and that vacant one next to Brandi's as well. Until then, Happy Simming!
