I've been playing Pleasantview on and off for a long time now, nothing serious, just dabbling, but I had some fun pictures to share.

Here's my trailer park, which houses . . . drum roll please . . . 2 adults, 8 teens, and 12 children. Yep, you read that right. Here are some of the kids, waiting for the morning bus:





Amazing, no?

After school I thank the goddess for the playground. Oops, forgot about red shirted guy, Jason Menon, who lives there too, so I guess, technically, there are 3 adults.





Here's one of the families of teens, on a birthday. This was before they moved to the trailer park. In this particular challenge I had one teen raise three sets of twins: children, toddlers, and infants, after Mom, the alleycat, moved out. Oldest sis and oldest set of twins are now enjoying a well deserved break in college, where she plans to marry Dustin Broke and the boys are hooked up (at least for now) with the Pleasant twins.

"Only" two sets of teenaged twins living together in the trailer park now.

Some of the hilarious results of my asylum challenge.





No fire alarm. THAT ended well.



And, just for Roux, my attempt to make Carlos Manoso, aka Ranger, as a sim. I think his nose is a bit big but it makes him interesting. The girl is his current squeeze. We'll see how long that lasts . . .

Two more from the world of Stephanie Plum! Here's Diesel.



And Joe. He's a little more boring than I'd like but up close his cheekbones are TDF.

And, while we're on the subject of things from other stories, Kachina and I decided to make eight of the sims from the Urbz as sims 2 college students. Here's their group photo.

Rear, L to R: Ewan Watahmee, Phoebe Tribble, Roxanna Moxie, Lincoln Broadsheet, Darius
Center: Luthor Bigbucks
Kneeling: Crystal, Giuseppe Mezzoalto


We think we did a pretty good job. Luthor and Phoebe are already dating and Crystal and Giuseppe really like each other.

I really hope that Sims 3 allows sims as goodlooking as these, SBW and Kachina.

For me, so far, no matter how realistic the town that I've seen in the Sims 3 movies, I think the Sims in them look boringly bland. :(

It's probably mostly due to skintones. I hope that Heleane and Enayla are willing to fix that.

p.s. LOL at the school bus crowd of kids. :lol:

I tend to agree. I like making sims with cheekbones, and from what I've seen the sims 3 have really smooth faces. Not sure I could make Diesel half as good looking in that game, for example. To complement said cheekbones, his skin is by Helaene, his hair is downloaded. And his eyes, which I think are the icing on the cake, are also custom.

But maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to more control over their looks. Right now there are only 2 or 3 faces in the choose-a-face that I can stomach and I get pretty tired of doing them over and over. I imagine it will take some getting used to, though.
