Strangely Pleasant: Strangetown (Round 1.1)  
I love Strangetown, but I've never played it as much as Pleasantview. I've got a general idea of what the sims in here are all about (and I've got their bios to help me figure it out as well), but I did notice while playing that I'm much more still trying to figure out what to do with a lot of sims, while in Pleasantview sims are immediately 'in character' to me. If that makes any sense at all.

Probably not.

Anyways! Kicking off this round for Strangetown is the Specter household, where an unassuming repairperson is reporting for duty.

Strangely Pleasant: Pleasantview (Round 1.2)  
I managed to finally get a rather annoying default replacement conflict out of my game, which was a result of re-downloading things and then putting back in bits of my old download folder. The download folder is quite slick now, I think, if rather more full than I originally intended.

Anyways! First up in this Pleasantview update is the Dreamer family.

Strangely Pleasant: Pleasantview (Round 1.1)  
Soooo yeah. I have this annoying habit of totally making my mind up about something, and then changing it the next day. It happens. I played around in the Megahood a little, but got rather overwhelmed by all those families. It's lovely to play, and really gives you a sense of community and interconnection between sims, but boy does it take ages to get through a single round!

Then I remembered I had a file laying around of the Pleasantview-Strangetown merged hood that <lj user="meetme2theriver"> made for me (thanks again for that!). It hadn't been played, aside from doing a make-over for all the sims in it. (You can see the make-overs at the 'hood party here.) I put it in my game, started playing, and I'm totally loving it.

It's entirely possible that I'll switch back to the Megahood at some point. Who knows? For now though, I hope you enjoy this update of Strangely Pleasant as much as I did playing it :)

  [livejournal.com profile] 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*




Ramblings, more pics and party report behind the cut! )
