Cassandra And Don Comparison

Cassandra and Don comparison

In the OG PV Cassie and Don never got together in non of my games. For me they just weren’t meant to be. She was a family sim, he was a romance... I loved Don with Nina or Dina. But in my Beginning of Pleasantview, they are together. And there are differences, not only in their appearance.

For starters, Don is a knowledge sim per his character and zodiac. He was a little nerd since childhood - always wanted to learn and do his homework. And Cassie is a family sim, also because of her character and zodiac.

When they were teens, they accidentally met when I was debating with who pair Cassandra (Don’s uncle, son from his grandpa’s second marriage, also teen at the time, was just almost perfect candidate, but Don was better - 3 bolts people, 3 bolts!). Since then they were inseparable. 

Don went to college and during his third year he proposed to Cass. And obviously she said yes. 

Actually, they have a little loft (gifted by his and her parents), they plan their wedding and who knows what happens next :D

ps this long face is this damned crumplebottom gene...

Dina and Nina comparison

Well, what can I say... everyone knows OG Caliente twins, so nothing to add here. Except: omg that difference is HUGE. I didn't notice this earlier lol

My girls are a little different. First of all, they're both redheads, but Dina dyes her hair (no matter how many times I've rolled, they never had red and blond hair, just my luck).

Dina is a popularity sim, she is also only daughter of Flamenco and Nighat to get alien eyes from her grandfather (and she and Nina have two older sisters). Dina also met a widower with two teen kiddos - Michael Bachelor. Chemistry and their wants decided that they should give it a go, and now they are happily married and have a son (who is green, by the way).

Nina on the other hand, is a fortune sim. She wanted a kid even without having a boyfriend (dunno, maybe she was jealous of all kiddos in the family) and she managed to woo Mike Steel. Ultimately they moved in together and married, and they're also raising a son.

The Grand Estate Makeover - aka “Goth Estate”

So, when I started playing my BoP I was completely lame at building so I was adding houses from bin and gave them only little makeover I was able to. Nothing too fancy, I must say.

I greatly enjoy watching like simstubers build so I decided I’ll try and practice. So, inspired, I’ve changed Goth Family house from this:

to that:

This was one of my first builds, it took ages. But I am super happy with the results.

Actually house is kinda crammed, cuz I didn’t want to change floor plan, and for the time being, Mortimer lives here with his parents (Cornelia and Gunther), and his four kids (Cassandra, Alexander, Mathilde and Amelia).

Don’t mind randomly placed baby stuff, Amelia is a toddler now xd

Start

Sooo... I’ve decided to document my builds and my kinda big beginnings of Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville merged together. I was always a fan of those beginning hoods by Marka93 and couldn’t choose my fave one, so I got them all. In rotations and turns of course. 

Pleasantview: 20 turns (4 days each, 1 day=1 year)

Strangetown: was attached about turn 12-15

Veronaville: was added recently and I’m in the middle of building houses “Veronaville OG style”.

For the beginning, quick photo overview of my hood :)
