@jakubpotoczny7084 3 года назад

Desiderata Valley is generally one of my favorite neighborhoods. It's perfect for a little break from Pleasantview. I played in this neighborhood many times and I've noticed some other fun facts such as: - Pauline Aspir and Daniel Bell already have chosen their lifetime wish even though they're still kids. Daniel wants to reach top level at the Entertainment career, and Pauline - at Dance. - Luis technically has already finished his aspiration. He wants to reach the top level in Architecture career and he already did that (he retired at level 10). I usually give him permament platinum aspiration because he doesn't have it at the beginning. - There is an alternative way to play John Mole. At the beginnings of my games, he usually rolls a want to gain logic skill (he is closer than further to do that) and he is standing next to his telescope. When he gains a logic skill using the telescope, Luis Aspir will appear on the lot and he will be angry at John (for me, it fits, because Luis in his bio has written, that he doesn't understand John's strange character, so basically they don't like each other) - Sophia and Violet Jocque, and also Jessica Picaso have broken face templates, that's why I usually don't make Jocques to have more children. That's it. Great video as always :)

@jesaea 3 года назад

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

That is a great idea!!

@CourtOrderedThiccBitch 3 года назад

I only ever played Desiderata Valley once: I loaded up the Contrary family, got Rick and Violet together, then there was a thunderstorm which lit their tree on fire, but of course the rain stopped, and the fire spread all throughout the lot, and eventually it burned the whole family to death while Violet was just standing outside, watching without betting an eyelid. This also somehow caused the entire lot and family to get corrupted.

@qt_3.142 3 года назад

I always leave the sports hobby at the Contrary household. Rick could bond with his mom playing ball together and than he has something in common with Violet :)

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

That's a good direction to go with him too! I may try this next time I play them! 💙

@leslie2149 3 года назад

First thing; the old man welcome wagon? Best thing ever! That made me laugh. I want these old biker dudes in my sim neighborhood! I have only played a little bit in this hood then never went back. I will say when I did play John Mole got abducted by aliens...and had Twins! It was fun and I love my alien babies, but considering the size of his house? Not so great trying to find places for everything. My biggest complaint with the Freetime/hobby stuff is that way too many of my sims OTH is either sports or games. (Ugh!) I have been doing a prosperity challenge and I have about 144 sims in that neighborhood and probably almost half of them are sports and games! I went through and counted them up once but I'm not sure where that's at right now. I have the risky woohoo mod, too. I really wanted it because I figure if I have a female romance sim that wants to sleep with every man around she should suffer the consequences of those actions. I also turn the chimes off because I like to be surprised. These videos have been very good and give me some ideas if I ever decide to go back to some of them and actually play them.

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

Thanks Leslie! I also hate it when a bunch of Sims end up with the same hobby! But I use a sub-hobby system to make them all unique. It helps a lot! You can read more about it here: pleasantsims.com/pleasant-sims-rules/#Hobbies

@jenns-journey 3 года назад

I like this hood...but maxis got lazier and lazier with each hood. Always drove me crazy....especiallly before I knew how to adjust everything. And don't get me started on the houses! Hahaha. I hope someday you play this hood 😊❤

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

These houses are SO. BAD. They might be the worst from any 'hood!!

@edumeleroverdu8509 3 года назад

The worst thing about Desiderata Valley, in my opinion, isthe lack of a defining 'style'. You can't really tell where it's supposed to be or if it's a little town, a suburb... maybe that's why they went with a unified urban theme with the last expansion.

@smallcatsims2 3 года назад

I LOVE the Bell family. They're definitely my favorites in this neighborhood. I usually have Sharon and Isaac have an affair because that's what I consider a "critical disturbance" as alluded to in her bio. Also it seems that every time I have them try for baby to satisfy Hannah's want I have a hard time getting her pregnant. I've always headcanoned that she's supposed to have fertility issues and makes the whole situation more sad but she got pregnant immediately for you. I also don't make the Contrarys or the Joques have more kids because most middle aged adults with teen children don't do that. John Mole and his elderly biker friends are fun, I loved that part of the video. This time in my desiderata valley he started building robots for fun including a lot of sentry bots because he seems kind of paranoid to me. He 's currently romancing a servo that he built and I think they're engaged.

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

In my gameplay rules, if a Sim tries for baby three times and doesn't get pregnant, I consider her infertile and then she can adopt to satisfy her want for children. But Hannah usually gets pregnant right away for me! I love the idea of John romancing a servo. Seems so fitting! Lol

@slobwithoutaname3714 3 года назад

Omg, Hannah never gets pregnant right away for me either

@RSully94 3 года назад

When it comes to the Aspir family, I picture Victor having an affair with someone to get more children. Perfect way to do that is hiring a maid...which they can easily afford if Luis wishes for money (which he would be successful due to the platinum aspiration). Ashlee Couderc almost always ends up being the maid and she's a pretty blonde like Elizabeth. Even if Elizabeth got pregnant I feel like she would have a car to still go to work even as pregnant.

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

Oh, I like that idea too! Would make for some much-needed excitement in this household!

@nejdalej 9 месяцев назад

In my game, he's got more chemistry with Hannah Bell than with Elizabeth so I'm going to pursue that option. They make more sense as a couple to be honest, I think that's what Maxis were getting at. It looks like a writing mistake but I'm going to argue it was a deliberate choice x

@DoubleDash7 3 года назад

I did the exact same pairing of Natasha and Julien. With him being a cook and her liking grilled cheese, it just made sense! I also didn't know you could change the pitch of the roofs, haha! I have just put up with ugly roofs. I guess I won't have to now.

@prixiepae 3 года назад

I always have John get abducted by aliens too, he along with some of the other families in this hood are boring so I like adding as many aliens as possible! And I think the genie lamp in the Aspir household is to maybe suggest that Luis should resurrect his wife.

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

That's a definite possibility for the Aspir family! I never do it because I hate resurrecting dead Sims, but you're right - that's probably what was intended. :)

@prixiepae 3 года назад

@OneTwoSbri 3 года назад

Actually in the Contrary household the fact that opal and her son's one true hobby was the same (sports) was supposed to be the thing that made them bond and better their relationship, that's why they had all these automatic interactions to play sports, so in their case I wouldn't have changed it

@sarahsampson175 3 года назад

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

Thanks Sarah! Yeah, I wish there were more direction with this 'hood. As I play through them all, you can see Maxis just getting lazier and more half-ass as they go. Pleasantview was amazing, then Strangetown was really good, Veronaville was pretty good, Riverblossom Hills had the locked wants (which sucks but it's something), and then we have this....LOL

It doesn't bother me when pre-made sims have the "wrong" hobby because I think Maxis purposely wanted to demonstrate that Sims can have enthusiasm in any hobby even if they do not have an in-born aptitude for it. However, it DOES bother me when Maxis doesn't give pre-made sims lifetime wants that make sense (after that feature was introduced, of course). Also, I'm surprised that you didn't show the Lifetime Aspiration Benefits for the grilled cheese aspiration or talk about secondary aspirations. I imagine that those are the only reasons they gave Natasha Una grilled cheese aspiration.

I’m actually playing this hood, it’s a lot of fun but you’re totally right about the hobbies being broken. Thank you for delving into Desiderata Valley, I’d love to see a Let’s Play soon! Side note, but I’m wondering if you use any mods to get female Sims pregnant from being abducted?

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

Yes, I use No Alien Sexism by Cyjon. You can find it here: cyjon.net/node/174

I’ve always wondered is there a correlated university for Desiderata Valley and Belladonna Cove?

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

No, there isn't. You can use any of the ones that were made for the basegame 'hoods but I like to use a custom one. There are some on MTS that are really good!

Desiderata Valley was my favorite (or second favorite) neighborhood to play in Sims 2 because it was the only neighborhood my sister would let me play in her game.

I was not prepared for how bad the inside of Julian Cooke's house was gonna be.

All the houses in DV are TERRIBLE. Like atrociously bad. I could make a whole series on fixing them. LOL

For Aspir family I made them another daughter and no drama haha, at Bells I also made daughter and when Hannah and Issac were quite older I made Issac and Sharon had an affair, Sharon ended up with Julien, they had son. Rick never improved his relationship with his parents he also move out when he became adult, he had twins with Violet but then he cheated on her with Natasha’s and John’s (so much younger than him) daughter and they got engaged. As I said John and Natasha had daughter who’s had baby with um Castor Nova from University but I made drama there that John made kinda conspiracy with some people and they killed Castor so his daughter hated him and moved out also(they lived in villa) a bit after John died and Natasha was broken about her daughter drama and John’s death that she died not long after John. I’m still playing here I’m already after 17 turn and keep going. Sorry for my English, I’m not native speaker but I love your videos Cindy❤️

I always make Rick and Violet gay/BFFs and they go through college together. You mentioned an OFB tutorial in the video and I would love that!

Another great video Cindy. I’ve never played the premades in this neighbourhood so it was cool to see their stories. Just wondering, in your play style how much do you take sims fears into account? So if Victor has the want to have a baby and Elizabeth has the fear would you still make them try for baby? I’ve played this game since it came out and have just started trying it in your play style and it’s so much fun

@PleasantSims 3 года назад

I don't really take their fears into account at all - the only exception is birth control. If a female Sim has the fear of having a baby, I put her on birth control. Otherwise, I just let their fears exist and they may or may not realize them through the course of their lives.

I never think of them not putting effort into these families! I think we used to get so much in these games. I also feel that EA was pushing Maxis to get these expansions out quicker at this point. This was the pack we got the PC gift from Mr. Humble with the Sims 3. I feel once EA realized what kind of money could be made on Sims we began the track we see today. I believe they still tried to give us what we had gotten used to while meeting a deadline. I also feel I am ok that we still got neighborhoods and lore along with game depth. I do love your gameplay ideas! I have a great time watching your videos and I may mess with one of these if I can take time from from my Pleasantview saga! Lol

I used SimPe to make Jessica Picaso and Sophia Jocque sisters, got that idea from meetmetotheriver and I love it!

@nelliesantiago5462 2 года назад

This was great, I honestly didn’t even play this game right, I messed it all up, now I’d love to play this way, but.... I don’t know how to make a new game without ruining or deleting the neighborhoods by mistake. 😆

@whitelynx881 3 года назад

I love that in the sims 3 I have 3 expansion packs and in the sims 4 I've got 7 and yet my game in the sims 3 has so much more life personality and content than my game in the sims 4-

I like to have John mole and Luis aspir become friends after they meet at the tinkering club. Getting a guide for a career change to architecture.

@heatherb8396 Год назад

I had no idea that Victor's first kiss was with Hannah and that Elizabeth's was with Issac! How interesting! Also, I feel like I am the odd one out but I always loved this neighborhood! I also always placed Matthew and Jessica Picaso in Pleasantview but recently found out they were added were freetime!
