Hello and welcome! My name is Nadya and I am a big fan of The Sims series. The channel will mostly be about TS2 and I will mostly be slightly mean and arrogant ;-)
TOWNIES: to PLAY or NOT to play?
The Sims 2 hoods are full of “boring”, “ugly” and “redundant” townies and most players don’t care about them (unless they’re trying to delete them from the game). But I really enjoy playing with these sims and I’d like to share why.

I personally like to try to play all premade Sims (only the mai hood and university townies, I never add bluewater village or downtown andignore the vaccation townies) of a neighbourhood before restarting bc I DON`T KNOW WHY but I feel sad when I leave them out bc I feel like "hey the´re here from the beginning too and deserve some love and attention". Obviously I don´t include and play all townies at the same time haha. But fir this way of playing it´s just too many townies. at least the university worlds have too many townies imo XD. I only like to
I've already made almost the entire townie pool playable, the problem is that I discovered that it's an odd number and there were about 3 left, sad when I realize that the townies were actually generated by the game's code, in an alternate universe it may be that several famous townies would never have existed, well, one thing that happened in a long-time save was that a teenage townie witnessed two sims doing woohoo in public, now she's the girlfriend of the fruit of that public woohoo she witnessed, once a sim wanted to date a townie, I thought it was strange that they knew each other, then I went to look at the memories and remembered that he met her when she was a newborn
I hope now you're using the "notownieregen" mod. I have less than 20 playable townies and it's already A LOT. 🤯
Daniel on the ‘Hub lol
He had to have a coping strategy before he finally cheated 💁🏻♀️
Half playable townies is such an interesting idea. I’m glad you showed us how you do it, I’ve been wondering ever since I watched your Reasoned Pleasantview Letsplay.
omg i never played sims 2 but this makes me want to
If you're TS4 player, download a bunch of graphics mods and you're good to go. You won't regret it. I don't use such mods because I love the vanilla look of the game.
Such an insightful video! Townies always give me headaches in my hoods :) I have a question for you, since you thought so carefully about townies. If you were to start a new custom hood, would you create townies as single individuals (so that you can make up their storyline later), or would you sort them in families from the start? I wonder if having to change genetics in SimPE to make genetics consistent is more of a hassle than creating townie families from the start… What do you think?
I've had a big custom hood in mind for a couple of years already and I would TOTALLY have a few families of townies there. Most townies would be single individuals, but some would have the same last names - that would be a sign they're related. And their look-alikness/different features would indicate if they're siblings/parents-children or spouses. Thank you for this question, BTW!
@ thank you so much for your reply, it makes a lot of sense! Excited about your idea for a custom hood, I’m sure it’ll be great if and when you decide to create it :)
Screaming at your NPC look!!! I hate townies so much, but I love the way you play them! I remember Ricky Cormier being like my very first boyfriend when I started playing, God, I don’t even know how many years ago, then my Sim grew up into an adult and had to leave him behind! 🥲 Great video! Keep going! 🤩💖
Thank you! Yeah, Ricky is hot ❤️🔥
6:30 Small world! In my Veronaville Kent Capp got with Victor Lillard as well, they're likely going to adopt next round. Currently, I'm playing Veronaville, which pretty much requires townie blood to keep from getting interrelated immediately. I also want the feud to continue for a while longer, so no Capps or Montys outside of Romeo and Juliette can get together. Something like that is once in a generation. A lot of the time townies will enter the rotation if they've got a good enough connection to a playable sim. For example, Carla McMcullough, an adult townie, started autonomously fighting Consort Capp on community lots, and so I reasoned that Antonio Monty, who saw this happening frequently, would be attracted to her based on that. He'd want to date someone who was as invested in the feud as his family. Carla is a fortune sim who was unemployed, so I thought maybe Consort and the Capps felt threatened by her attitude, and blackballed her from business, so she wants to stick it to them. What better way to do that than marry into their rival's family and start undermining them there? Another example is Chris Cho. She's a teenager at the start. Benedick, who is super nice, noticed that Chris kept getting antagonized by the other teenagers, so he stood up for her and felt a need to protect her. I assumed because she was very shy and lazy that she doesn't really talk much, so the other teenagers easily make fun of her and she's very weak-willed. Beatrice autonomously started bullying her as well, which I assume began because she knew Chris wouldn't fight or antagonize anyone, even Capps, which would be unacceptable for a future heiress to the Monty name. By now they're actually enemies, and Benedick really, really just wishes his sister would leave his wife alone.
Very interesting! And very Beatrice-like to be a bully. Also Carla is one of my favourite townies in Veronaville. 👍🏼
I can honestly well imagine that Cassandra was supposed to be the heir and Alexander was an accident given their big age gap. I could imagine that there is some sort of condition that she has to get married and keep her last name to inherit the mansion and fortune.
Happy Holidays! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Same to you! 🎁🎁🎁
Man, I love your Reasoned Pleasantview so much! I think my heart would explode with joy if you did one for Strangetown!
I'd like to finish the first season of the RP (the first 13 years in the neighborhood) before I start a similar project for Strangetown.

Hello! I got curious; what will happen if sim doesn't pay the bill/rent in the apartment? Repo-man comes in? Do you know, by any chance?
I know for sure the repo-man comes if the bills aren't paid (to take the landlord's property, how "fair"!). If the rent hadn't been paid during Monday the landlord will demand it by knocking on the door. Depending on if your sims have enough cash he'll either take the money or wait some more days (I don't know for sure, how many days) for the payment. I've never played until their next action.🤭
@@baddynaddy ahh i see, interesting thank you very much
Somehow Ashley became my favorite sim recently In my game he moved into the apartment complex and became enemies with each and every neighbor within four days😆
Ashley's got these "cold and evil" vibes and thanks to his new hairstyle looks like an anime character, maybe that's why 🤔
I hope Jason will be happy with Ashley, but I think Ashley will cheat the moment he finds somebody he thinks is better.
100%. Also he's going to earn more than Jason himself eventually which won't make him happy.
Thank you! Hope you get better soon! A blessed Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you for your kind wishes 🤍💙🤍
Ever since I was a child I thought Darren and Cassandra were meant to be. But this is a better match really! I'm happy for the lovely couple. I even squealed when I heard the pregnancy chime!
Darren + Florence + this house = perfection 🦄
Brandi seems the type of person who wants their kids to call their partner "dad" as soon she starts dating them.
I know Malcolm would NEVER come into Heather's half-furnished apartment without her consent
There's a mod that makes it so that Sims with the Hopeless Romantic Trait (from another mod, the 3t2 Traits Project) who have the Romance Aspiration won't roll wants about cheating- i really hope we can get more mods like that in the future to distinguish different flavors of the same aspiration. It would make wants-based game play wayyyyy better
Wow! I was as happily surprised as you were. The game played along your storyline as if it was a scripted event 😮😂
Exactly! Looked so realistic: "So, how did you like your new apartment, Heather? Mind if I ENTER?" 🤭
Oh I’m so excited! I was sad when I caught up and had nothing to watch anymore :)
Hope next episode will be uploaded on Monday (I filmed it today).
I’m caught up too I’m like NOOOO
When I was younger I always played the first style, especially in the Sims 3, my female sims had to be perfect and know every possible skill in the game😅 The wants-based style I've only enjoyed watching others play, I myself never had enough patience to do it, because sims are dumb and I know better what they need😂 Кстати, порадовалась описаниям к фото, как только можно порадоваться внезапному появлению родного языка там, где не особо ждёшь) Правда, очень рада, что нашла твой канал, посмотрела все видео, мне очень нравится! Напоминает мою любимую Sophie the puffin. Она перестала постить некоторое время назад, к сожалению, но всё равно очень советую посмотреть))
Надо будет как-нибудь "поплясать с бубном" с TH-cam и посмотреть. А то теперь уже видео выложить - "Миссия невыполнима" какая-то ☹️
@baddynaddy Это правда! Тут посмотреть-то - уже проблема, даже не представляю, каково по ту сторону кнопки "подписаться" 😢
Dina is my most favorite sim in the entire game. I've never understood why people are hating on her, she is literally nice, she just has her priorities!
She'd my second favourite in Pleasantview after Dustin Broke.
@baddynaddy great choice also, but his incorrect genetics always bothered me Like, whyyy do you look nothing like your mom or dad?!😄
If his genetics was correct, he would be much more popular because Brandi and Skip are very good-looking. It would also make Angela quite a superficial girl who chose a boyfriend by his looks. I mean, his genetics brothers me as well, but at the same time it's pretty good to have at least some sims in the hood who have something other than the 2nd face template 😅
@@baddynaddy that is true, second face template is a curce... But in my new Pleasantview, that I started recently (because my old one was very corrupted😬), I changed all teens and children for genetically correct ones I made myself. I should see my Angela and Lilith, they are so pretty, no more huge noses!
I've just finished watching this series (all that is available to date), came back to start all over because I loved it! You inspired me to do something similar, but with Desiderata Valley, adding Bluewater Village and Sim State University, I'm playing it currently. Thank you very much for this idea! As for this episode: I think Cassandra just saw first good looking man in her adulthood and said:" this is my destiny! I want it!" And Don just said "yes" more as a joke, he never really believed, that it would actually lead him to the altar.
I'm sooo flattered that you've decided to rewatch this 🤍💙💜 Yes, Desiderata Valley is a neighborhood that you can turn into everything. I also think its coast line looks similar to the one we have in Bluewater Village.
@@baddynaddy I agree, they truly look like two districts of the same neighborhood. Bluewater village is a much needed addition to Valley in terms of playable families.
I put Jodie and Malcolm together once because I thought their personalities were a perfect match! The resulting children were so ugly, I swore never again. You really lucked out with Queenie 😂
Ooops, I want them to have a boy too later on 🙈 your comment scares me 😅
I feel bad for denice, but she might have done it to herself. Or her late husband might have spoiled him😂
I think they both did. They were working together and never trusted Gilbert with any tasks (even the simplest ones) because he was either "too young" or "not capable" in their eyes. And here's the result 💁🏻♀️
Yes enjoyed this episode too!
What happened with Darren's money: If a sim from another sub-hood moves in, they only bring cash due to a bug. There is a fix mod called "Move-in assets fixed and improved" by Lamare.
Thank you for your explanation and recommendation! My sims are going to move around a lot, so it's definitely a must-have 👍🏼
@@baddynaddythe mod will help in future. Meanwhile for this story maybe there was a delay in settlement in the sale of Darren’s house, and he had to wait a few extra weeks until it went through before he got his funds.
That's because the Burbs who were buying his house barely scraped enough money 😅
22:30 OMG DARREN'S POSE IS ICONIC I loved that video a lot, thanks! Hopefully, Gilbert is gonna take part in Orchid's life and be a good father for his daughter though not being good at other things
The game always glitches like that because of the "last name chooser" 😅
As a Skyrim nerd and a Sims nerd, I was surprised by this video lmao.
Allegra was my favourite btw, love her gothic/witchy aesthetic
Awww, I'll miss the times the uni had it's premades:( I really got attached to their storylines. Can't wait to see them again in Pleasentview!!
I'm going to film an episode on Heather Huffington literally in a couple of days. If I recover from my cold, ofc 🤧
Loved this, you read your sims very well & like your playstyle! Thank you.
omg I was looking for videos with gameplay like this!!! Thank you so much! I loved the video 🥰
💛
Maybe Vernon wants to studying couples counseling to take on more of a role in the church, like he sees how happy his parents are and idealizes their marriage and way of life, he wants to spread that to other sims in town.
Yeah, he was so eager to give a speech 😂 "Be like my mommy and daddy, do not argue with each other..."
I LOVE the idea of Tinkers being so religious, it really makes total sense. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching! 🥳
I didn't expect Stephen to start a cult, ahem, I mean a "church group" 😉😉😉
Mary-Sue can finally focus on her career like she always wanted to! And she seems way happier, even though she now has to live with her parents. You win sime you lose some I guess
Oh THANK GOD you gave Lucy the fortune aspiration! It makes so much more sense story wise! Also, she could be looking up to her mom, since she saw how hard working and ambitious she was. And yeah, I also hate how in other lp's her only purpose of living is being a partner to Alexander Goth 🙄 Lucy deserves better, y'all.
Wow, you're already in the middle of the first round! 😮 Didn't you skip the Uni episodes by chance? 😉 I strongly recommend watching them. They're my favourite. And thank you for the comments, of course 💅
I LOVE how the Caliente sisters are friends with Brandi Broke lol btw I really hate Riverblossom Hills buuut I really love your video! <3
Thank you! 🙈
Not Judy saying the date was boring and leaving immediately right after sleeping with Malcolm, that's so funny 😭
Malcolm's bedroom skills didn't impress her 💀
Funny thing. I just started playing Riverblossom Hills. This time I had some interesting outcomes. Leod hired Rose Greenman to help with his farm store. They fell in love and she left Jason for Leod. Leod convinced her to drink the potion to not be a plant Sim anymore. These two have plant vibes that connect them. Meanwhile, Jason and little Daisy moved in with his brother. Both Daisy and Gabe’s daughter could relate to each other since their Moms abandoned them. I like how this version is evolving.
Poor Daisy, Leod turned out to be a homewrecker🥲
Very nice video! You especially did a very good job at debunking the ”Cleo and Patricia are parodies of the Caliente sisters” theory. They have a lot more in common with the elder ladies, yes. That being said, I don’t think anyone except the Roths (and the Cordials in Belladonna Cove) are supposed to be parodies of Pleasantview Sims, unless I find a first hand source. If all of them were supposed to be parodies, Maxis would probably make it more obvious (like with the Roths and the Cordials, where they just throw in hints everywhere). I think it’s more likely that Pleasantview fans just accuse any Sim who has any similarity to a Pleasantview character for being a Pleasantview ”copy” or ”parody”. A normal family with one child? They must be the Burbs! Appearently, both the Greenmans and the Aspirs and the Rileys are Burb parodies according to the community. A dark man with glasses? He’s a parody of Darren Dreamer! Two women who live together? The Caliente sisters! And if it is a family that don’t resamble a Pleasantview family? Then it must be a reverse parody! Pleasantview has a good story, but the characters are pretty ordinary people, so we can always find some similarities between them and anyone if we try hard enough. Maybe they were inspired by Pleasantview characters sometimes, but parodies/copies? Nah. I always love character analyses though, and this video was still very interesting :)
You're right, it's difficult to create something absolutely new and original and it's even more difficult not to repeat yourself (like songwriters accidentally reusing their own tunes every now and then). I'm currently planning custom universities for Riverblossom Hills and Belladonna Cove and I've just caught myself creating pretty similar sorority sisters in different hoods. 🙈 Self-repeating is inevitable, I think 😄
It is interesting to hear different options. When I found wants based letsplays, I started to follow every aspect and soon I became overwhelmed and felt bad not following all the rules. Im still using wants based but with more of my own feeling about individual sims and I feel much more entertained by the game. Exactly as you mentioned - you should play the playstyle you enjoy in the first place 👏🏻 I dont think wants based is bad playstyle, but if you just follow the same generic wants for every sim, it just does not make any sense.
Interesting analysis! I always thought of the Greenman family as the locals' version of the Summerdreams, but the parallel with the Burbs really fits better. Just recently, I was reminiscing about Riverblossom Hills and thought it would be nice to set up Sandra and Leod. That might work out better than Don and Cassandra, Sandra and Jacob, or Sandra and David Ottomas. And I've always pictured Jacob and Jules as the locals' Anne and Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables. She rejected him, but they are friends again and may secretly want to rekindle their relationship... Well, this makes me want to play again. Thanks for the video!
Jules is definitely a better match for Jacob, can't put my finger on why he kissed Sandra all of a sudden 🤔
Where are u from? Love how u talk. 😊
