Pleasantview - The Pleasants

I decided to play with The Pleasants from PleasantView. I’m not really writing a story, it’s more of a journal of what is currently happening with snapshots.

Talk about a dysfunctional family! Meet Daniel, Marie-Sue, and their identical twin daughters, Lilith and Angela. Nobody seems to get along in this household.

Marie-Sue and Lilith are always going after each other. Daniel can’t even remember a happier time with his family anymore.

He wasn’t sure when it happened, but he started having an affair with their maid, Kathlyn. It was the only highlights of his day, knowing she would always be ready to spend quality time with him after her chores were done.

Angela would tell Lilith to stop being a brat so that her parents wouldn’t fight anymore. Lilith insisted that no matter what she did their mother was always after her and they always seemed to blame her whenever a fight broke out.

Lilith was upstairs on the computer with Ricky when Marie Sue barged in and started yelling at her for having brought a guy upstairs.

Lilith had had enough. She hated her mother so much at that moment for humiliating her constantly and yelling at her. That night she ran away.

Marie Sue stayed up all night waiting for Lilith to come home that night, but she never did.

Her anger turned into worry so she turned to Angela and asked her to help her in finding Lilith.

Angela spent a lot of time trying to find clues of where she might be, but everyone she’d ask would tell her they didn’t know and would let her know if they heard anything.

Angela was going steady with Dustin Broke. Her father didn’t approve so she would invite him over whenever her father was out.

Daniel hadn’t slept in the same bed as his wife in a long time. He would either sleep on the couch or in Lilith’s bed.

It was when Kathlyn started coming to spend time with Daniel on her days off that Angela finally put two and two together.

She was furious at her father and confronted him about it. Daniel defended himself by saying he was finally with someone who truly loved him.

Angela then confronted Kathlyn and accused her of ruining her parent’s relationship. Kathlyn told her that her parent’s relationship had been broken even before she came in the picture and that she made Daniel happy, unlike her mother.

When Angela told her mother, Marie Sue and Kathlyn literally fought.

But no matter how angry Angela and Marie Sue were, Daniel didn’t care anymore. And when Kathlyn told him she was going to have his baby, he couldn’t have been more happier.

After he found out she was pregnant he even made Kathlyn move in with them. She slept in Lilith’s bed. They still hadn’t heard anything from Lilith in a long time now.

Baby Sabrina was born. Daniel constantly had to keep an eye on Angela so she wouldn’t hurt neither Kathlyn or the baby. She was furious that he had moved in his mistress with them.

It was a strange arrangement, but Daniel had told Marie Sue if she wasn’t happy with the situation that she could just leave. She never did leave. She just put in more hours at work and told him she didn’t care because she didn’t love him.

Angela would just ignore Kathlyn and the baby, but at night, when everyone was asleep, she’d often sneak up to see the baby. She couldn’t help but love baby Sabrina, after all she was her half sister.

Sabrina looked a lot like her mother. Angela hadn’t seen her father so happy and he was a good father to Sabrina. It made her jealous at times, but also realized that she hadn’t given her father much choice, she’d constantly take her mother’s side and fight with him for years. [I didn’t change anything, this is how Sabrina grew into a toddler. I thought it was interesting that she has blonde hair.]

She adored her little sister and only prayed for Lilith to come back home soon to see how precious Sabrina was and that finally there was some happiness in the family.

Make Overs - Desiderata Valley 0.1

Here are some Make Overs I've Made in the Desiderata Valley on the Sims 2. Desiderata is a new neighborhood that comes with the Freetime EP.

In these Make Overs I was using Skin Collection #2 - defaults by Enayla and the eyes were a default as well and I don't remember which ones now. Anyway, I changed my default skins because I found it was way to shiny/glowy, on the nose and cheek areas. They all seem to have pointy noses, especially the darker skin tones. I am in the process of making new Make Overs and I will post those when they are ready.

I mostly use the Make Over / Change Appearance. I rarely use the Face lift, however sometimes I use it for minor surgeries.

Chapter 10 - Getting Rid of Evil

[Click on the images to see them bigger]

Benjamin was in a rowdy and mean mood and Brella was sensing it. Before it got out of control as it usually did, she went to the bathroom and called Corbin on her Cellphone. She told him she'd leave the front door opened for him. Benjamin was yelling at Brella when Corbin walked in.


Benjamin didn't notice Corbin walk in and he kept hitting and yelling at Brella.


Finally Corbin spoke and Benjamin noticed him there. When Corbin told him to stop hitting Brella, Benjamin got mad and told him to mind his own business or he'd teach him a lesson as well. When Corbin told Brella to leave the house until Benjamin calmed down, Benjamin grew angry and ordered Corbin to go with him outside where he'd show him what a real man was.


Corbin followed him outside. He had no idea what he'd do.


He accused Corbin of screwing around with his wife. Corbin denied it, and of course they had never been anything more than just friends.


But Benjamin took a swing at him but missed as Corbin quickly dodged it.


Benjamin laughed it off. Then he said how he wasn't going to be stopped by anyone. He said he had a plan given to him by his Master that he was to destroy his whole family once Cking reached a certain age. And he then said that he had to kill Corbin now that he was standing in the way of his Master's plan.


Corbin realized that Benjamin was completely mad. He stammered and asked who was this Master he was speaking of. And Benjamin grinned and pointed to the sky. Then Benjamin quickly drew a gun and Corbin panicked. He knew Benjamin meant to kill him. Corbin grabbed a fire torch that was close by and lit it up.


Benjamin caught on fire. Corbin was shocked, but realized it was either him or Benjamin and he had just defended himself. [I realize the fire looks weird, I did it quickly in Photoshop]


Overwhelmed by what had just happened, he broke down and cried.


Corbin then went to tell Brella everything that had taken place in the backyard. She was relieved, saying that she'd be in peace finally away from his brutal attacks and she didn't have to worry about when he'd kill her.


Fearing no one would believe their story about everything Benjamin said and that he'd then attempted to murder Corbin, they decided to keep it their secret. They got rid of the bones and decided they'd come up with something to tell the twins later.


That night, before he left, they were into each other's arms.


He ended up not leaving but letting her lead him to her bedroom.

This Legacy had to be cut short. I had to reformat my Laptop.

Chapter 9 - Bite Me!

[Click on the images to see them bigger]

Brella was really freaking out when she saw Cking floating!! Carter didn't seem to notice it, and Benjamin surely wasn't alarmed. [This is a glitch that happened in the game when Benjamin was trying to put the baby in the crib and Carter was in the way so the baby ended up there floating, lol]


The more Cking grew up the more Brella was scared of him. He'd make evil faces and she'd just want to run away from him.


Look at this one. Evil or what?


Benjamin would make her read Cking stories. Stories that didn't make sense to Brella because they weren't kid's books, she even had a hard time pronouncing most of the words.


Brella was constantly tired and drained physically and mentally.


Whenever she'd fail to do something or did a mistake, Benjamin would slap her around, telling her he needed to teach her lessons.


She didn't know her husband anymore. He wasn't the Benjamin she had met and fallen in love with.


That's when she turned to Corbin. He was a someone she had met in college who was now a cop. She told him what was going on.


He listened and promised he'd think of something to help her out. She refused to go to a shelter for abused women, so he made her promise to call him if he got violent again before he could figure out how to help her.


Meanwhile, Cast finally got the courage to ask Holly out on a date. He brought her out to eat some lobster.


They talked a lot, but he couldn't help noticing she wasn't finishing her lobster.


Finally she excused herself and told him she had a headache and wanted to go home. He didn't think she liked the date.


He didn't really care because all he wanted to do at that point was finish her plate.


He later saw a man that was standing in the shadows alone so he went to talk with him. He told him about the date he just had and how bad it had gone. This stranger then hugged Cast, Cast thought it was to make him feel better because his date had gone bad, but then he passed out and when he woke up, he was still at the restaurant, only the stranger was gone.


He didn't think much of it until he went to have his picture taken in the photo booth and when he saw his pictures, he laughed because they looked silly,.. then he realized something was terribly wrong with the way he looked.


Worried he called Carter to come pick him up.


He explained to Carter what had happened and told him he even physically saw differently. Instead of being alarmed, Carter was excited as he said it looked like he had been turned into a vampire. Cast brushed that theory off, saying that he wasn't craving for blood and that such things didn't exist. He figured it must be some kind of a bug he caught.


The next day he got ready to go to school and when he stepped in Cking's room to pick him up, the sun from the window started to make his skin burn.


Alone in his room with the curtains down, he tried to make sense of it and tried to figure out what to do.


That night he felt like he was going mad. Like he was loosing his mind. He kept stomping the flowers in frustration.


He turned to his brother for help. Carter told him to bite his neck and see what would happen. And that if he turned into a vampire also, then they'd know for sure and that way they'd both seek help.


As stupid as that sounded, he agreed and bit his brother's neck...


And sure enough, Carter turned into the same condition as Cast. His brother had been right - it was vampirism.


But instead of seeking help like he had promised, Cast arranged the bed with curtains so that the sun wouldn't be able to get to him in the morning, then he relaxed on the bed, seeming very content.


Cast made several phone calls and finally got lead to this woman whom he was told sold a potion that could cure him. He met with her and bought two bottles. One for him and one for Carter.


He read the inscriptions on the bottle carefully and hoped for the best as he swallowed the whole bottle and waited for it to take effect.


As the gypsy had promised, it worked!


He hurried to go tell the good news to his brother, but Carter wasn't ready to change yet. He told Cast that now that they had nothing to worry about, that they had the cure, he just wanted to remain in that state for a while longer.
