Pleasantview

A lot has happened in 25 years, but some new faces in town are stirring up rivalries and creating tension for the once happy families. Can anything be done to get the neighborhood feeling good again?

Pleasantview- power stacks and water tower added afterwards

Pleasantview is one of the three premade neighborhoods in The Sims 2. In theory at least, it is the neighborhood from the original Sims 25 years on. It is mentioned that Gunther Goth founded Pleasantview. There are a total of 23 lots in Pleasantview while there are a 11 houses in the Lots and Houses Bin. And, there is a total of 8 premade famlies that are able to be played. It is likely that the name "Pleasantview" refers to the town called Pleasantville in the movie Pleasantville(1998). As well as the town's name, one of the pre-made sims, Mary-Sue, was a main character in the movie. Also, Main Street and Elm street were part of Pleasantville as well as Pleasantview.
