meetme2theriver made me a merged Pleasantview and Strangetown hood, because those are my two favourite premades, and the ones I definitely enjoy playing most. I didn't really give Strangetown a makeover in the Megahood, but I did here, as I really want to flesh out those two hoods. I've already got Pleasantview just the way I want it, but Strangetown needed some extra work.

I didn't want to post this at first, as I already have the Megahood and maybe people wouldn't want to see spam about another merged hood as it'd get confusing...  But then I went, stop being an idiot, this is YOUR journal and you can put in what you pretty damn well please. And the people that read it aren't idiots and can just skip non-Megahood updates if they want to. *sheepish*




As you can see, I've added in a few bits and bobs, but not so much that the 'remote desert town' feel is broken. The road where Olive and Ophelia's house was on has been extended a little bit, and I've moved their home to be closer to the town center, though I might park it right up the road where the radio antenna is now in the future.
Curious Hill (as I call it in my head, because I'm weird) has been expanded a little bit, and an observatory has been added, as well as a watertank that supplies the town. Now the Curious brothers have got an extra reason to be up there, aside from trying to get closer to the stars. I might eventualy convert it to a full blown research center.
I've added some streets on the other side of the highway that will form the town center eventually, with some shops and things. I copied the little yellow house that will always be Ajay's house to me (cause I plunk in him there every single time I play Strangetown) so the road looks at least slightly less abandoned.
The government facility lies closer to the military base, Fort Strangetown, in my current hood than it is seen here. I quickly slapped together a lot imposter (there's nothing to do there, just bare walls, though I might fiddle around with it later) that is based on the military bases in TS3. Some barracks were added and the Grunts now live on the military terrain itself, close to the General's workplace.
The Beaker residence is in the same spot it's always been, but part of the edge of the crater has caved in a bit, so they're now almost on the same level as the crashsite.

Some closeups of a few areas:



Military base and barracks.



The Beaker house with the crashed spaceship behind it. I like how it sort of looks like there used to be more road there, but the crash has blown it up.



The Smiths now live at the bottom of the street the Curiouses live on. The green empty lot will be where the Singles will move in.

Party Time!

A merged hood wouldn't be the same without a getting-to-know-your-neighbours party. I let the newly weds Cassandra and Don host it, as I had already played the Goths for a day and they'd moved out and were sat in the simbin, and actually had funds to decorate a small party lot.



It's a bit of a garden party, but having it in a house would just result into everyone trying to socialise in the hallway or bathroom.



Vidcund thinks Olive is HAWT!



Oh damn, I'm sorry Tank. Default facemasks didn't agree with you. I like Johnny  laughing his head off and Tank being all 'what did you do to me?!'



Angela wasn't very social at the party. She was too busy crying over her parents fighting with Lillith to really enter into the party spirit. I also used the party to make over everyone at once, so I didn't have to go house by house to do it. That's why people will change outfits during the pics.



Vidcund and Loki have got serious hate-ons for eachother. Notice Jenny and PT being all cute behind them. ^^



Little buck is SHOCKED and APPALLED! He was running around crying all the time because people kept fighting :( Such a tender little soul.



So I had Ripp hug him to cheer him up. General Buzz finds this hilarious. Hugs are for weaklings!



Daniel isn't pleased with Angela's choice of boyfriends.

Daniel: 'Stop heartfarting over my daughter right this minute, young man!'



Ripp trying to chat up Lillith? I think he was just admiring her, but I think that'd be a pretty sweet couple.



Loki owns you all at Limbo!





Angela thinks Tank is a losseeerrrrr. Strange, in the Megahood she and her sister are all over him.



Olive being fierce! The outfit is a sign of things to come (if I can find a damn grand vampyre this time). Not everyone got the same makeover as in the Megahood, though I kept a few. I'm rather fond of how Lola Curious turned out here.



Beau Broke just sat around bopping along to the music, and occasionally being cuddled by random people. He seemed to enjoy it a lot.



John and Jennifer are one of those couples that are attached to the hip. Literally. I changed Jennifer's makeover a gazillion times and I'm still not happy with it. Grrr.



Ajay and Lola got really friendly without any of my instigation. I was most pleased.



Herb and Chloe got real friendly, too. I was less than pleased.



So was Coral. Hehe, oops. 



Loki and Circe being precious. These two are so awesome.



Obligatory FIGHTS! pic.



This is Don Lothario scoping the room, because I was curious as to who he would fancy. Apparently he really likes twins: Nina & Dina and  Lola & Chloe. He has no chemistry with Cassandra at all, not even one flimsy little bolt.



One would think he'd like her, seeing how flexible she is.



I've got a feeling I'm really going to like Olive.



PT gave the General this awesome dirty look. That's Ripp spraying food all down his dad's back, by the way.



I had Don be the DJ to keep him out of trouble, but he got off to watch Vidcund and Loki fight, and Darren nicked his place. First thing of order for Don? Getting frisky with one of the Calienta sisters, of course.



Cassandra: 'I'm going to sock that hussy one so hard she won't know if it's bum or breakfast time.'



I really like the idea of these two becoming friends :)



Johnny and Ophelia were inseperable the entire party long. I don't think they interacted much with anyone else.



Unexpected first kiss tingling made me frantically search for my first ACR couple... But it was just Pascal trying to kiss Circe.

Wait, what? Pascal and CIRCE? Wasn't it Vidcund who is supposed to be all crushy on her? What the heck does Pascal see in her? And why hasn't Loki killed his ass yet? I'm putting it down to pregnancy hormones and being drunk.



Of course, Circe doesn't want any of that. Look at Loki being all smug, too.



Oh now you're just trying to taunt him. Pascal didn't seem too upset about it all, anyway.



Ophelia took pity on Tank, who had been pretty much either ignored or poked so far.



I think she's starting to see WHY he keeps getting ignored or poked. :D



Mortimer kicking the cheese out of Don. He wasn't impressed with Don cheating on Cassie (it was just a DANCE people! Sheesh! They weren't making out or anything!), and now both he and Alexander hate him.



Nina: 'RIGHT! Party's over people! Those gazillion plates y'all left around are going to stink up the place real soon and we don't want any accidental deaths by flies, okay? MOVE MOVE MOVE!'
