Beginning Of Strangetown - Tumblr Posts
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 :)

City House - 2BR 1.5BA Garage - Makeover
I always liked this house and played in it. But it got tedious and when I was renovating all houses in PV, this one also had to be redone. So... from this.
To that:
Morgana Newbie (nee Goth) lives here with her family, she’s a witch, her kids are also magical ;D
Lothario Loft - Don and Cassandra's new home

♥ round 22 in progress
Pleasantview
2nd generation started to die just recenlty, 3rd generation is nearing elderhood, 4th generation started to create their own families, a few Sims from 5th gen were born.
Strangetown
1st generation is nearing elderhood, 2nd settles in, makes their own families, a few from 3rd gen were born.
Veronaville
1st generation is settled nicely, only one baby from 2nd gen was born - Octavius Caesar (and he has his mothers ugly face…)
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.
70+ families.
Send help.
Pollination Technician 9 was born.
Strangetown - be ready for chaos. There WILL be chaos.
STORY writes itself. Xanthos died from sickess before marrying Grainne, but she was already pregnant. And now, after giving birth to Circe she also died! OMG.
(No wonder Circe is a little... "odd"...)
For unknown reasons to me, all kids just love bringing home Kitty Hogleg this round. Like all of them.
Unlikely friends - Scribonia Capp (pink) and Kitty Hogleg (blue).
Also, Scribonia looks old lol.
So, round 25 (100 sim years) is coming to an end...
I'm thinking 'bout making "neighborhood history" styled recaps. Probably will start posting them soon.
My, time surely has passed...
Better do it while I remember most of the story bits lol
Wellp, Pol Tech#9 Smith's mother decided to die randomly killed by lightning... a few hours before her son's birthday to teenhood...
(btw dying this close to stairs MUST be painful...XD)
My spin on recreating and modyfying Smith Family Home - 101 Road to Nowhere.
Caliente Family
1st generation: Nestor & Dulcinea & Pollination Technician 7
Life was hectic - both Dulcinea and Nestor had their share of affair with Pollination, but Dulcinea was the one to fill for divorce, when Nestor became pregnant. He along with Pol were raising Tango (Nestor's and Dulcinea's son) and Flamenco (their son).
Nestor and Dulcinea lived separately for a few years but they reconciled when Tango was a teenager. They married again, Pol stayed with them and began dating male maid. Things were looking good, especially when Dulcinea gave birth to two more kids - Samba (a girl) and Merengue (a boy).
They all died peacefull from old age.
2nd generation: Tango: The oldest Caliente boy. He was a doctor who loved fun and money equally. He was the most handsome sim ever. He married Frida Goth, they had two kids - Jive and Carioca. Carioca was a surprise baby, as Jive was one and only planned boy they wanted. But still, Carioca was loved, cared for and she inherited family home when time has come.
Tango died recently - living long and really fullfiling life. His life was mostly boring, but he never complained. Neither did Frida. She also is fortune/pleasure sim and actually she is looking after hers and Tango's grandkids nearing her end from old age. But who knows, maybe she will see greatgrandchild or two.
Samba: Well, her life was full of fun, love and romance. She grew up to be a romance sim who took virginity of most of her colleagues and friends - and she certainly wasn't picky, boy or girl, no difference. It really is a miracle that she didn't end with surprise baby even once. She was romance/family, so when she was nearing her 40's, she finally settled down. Her husband was also a surprise, to be honest - the one and only Primo Fiorello, a widower at that time. They were both very happy together and Samba bore three children - Aurelio, Lucilla and Giovanni. When she died in childbirth with Giovanni and was brought back by Primo, she was terrified of death and fleeting age, so she seek out a vampire and made a deal. She became undead and was watching over her family till Primo lived - he didn't want to be a vampire, so he died peacefully of old age. When his time came, Samba kissed all her children goodbye and disappeared into Downtown. She calls them from time to time to check on them, or to invite them to visit some fun places together.
Merengue: Well, for most of his young life he tried to pursue Tina Traveller, who was super popular with the boys at that time. He had a few rejected kisses but ultimately burning passion connected both of them at college and they even got engaged. Sadly, Tina broke up with Merengue when she met Garrett Goodie (Newson, adopted by Goodies). Merengue decided to build himself a perfect woman - a robot - but before he accomplished this goal he died struck by sattelite, to huge distress of whole his family.
And Flamenco, the one and only: He was half alien, so he was green. Dulcinea raised him better that two men at once, so he loved her dearly as his own mother. Then came college, quick marriage with his long time girlfriend Nighat Al Mahmoud. He was doing two things he liked most - working with Film Industry and making babies. He and Nighat had five kids - in order, Tina, Gina, twins Nina and Dina, and their baby brother Vin, who was a surprise baby when Nighat was like 50 years old. Also, only he inherited his fathers green skin. Recently they both died from old age, but they got the chance to meet all their grandkids.
3rd generation: Tango's kids:
Jive - he was a little nerd from the beginning, who wanted to be doctor like his dad. He accomplished this. Had huge problems with his love life but ultimately managed to woo Beryl Ruggbyrne. She, as a romance sim, wasn't sure if she does the right thing, but being pregnant all the time in big mansion was easier than being pregnant all the time in little apartment that her first fiance had. Jive and Beryl had four kids together - Muineira, twins Rumba and Salsa, and Fandango. They left Tango's and Frida's mansion to their kids and moved to small apartment. Then, in a cruel twist of fate, Beryl got admitted to Mental Asylum. Jive waits for her return patiently.
Carioca - Wasn't sure what she wants from life for a very long time. Had a few flings, but after college decided to say yes to August Goodie, her kinda boyfriend from teenhood. They fell in love (or they think they are in love) and had a baby boy together, Carmel. Unfortunately, August has ugly nose, and Carmel inherited it. Oh well, not the looks are the most important…
Samba's kids: Aurelio - aspiring actor, struggled financially for many, many years till he got a few profitable jobs. He was also trying with a few women, with no luck, till new girl moved to aparment below his. Love struck both of them and Aurelio got married to Priscilla. They tried a few years for kids and recently welcomed a son, Evaristo.
Lucilla - family sim with no idea for herself. She was dating Crumplebottom Heir, Edward, and when they both became adults, they married, so Edward could get and male heir. They succeded and Lucilla gave birth to twins, Ermes and Elvira. Lucilla struggles with weight gain and altough she is lazy as f-, she tries her best. Still, Edward loves her as she is, no drama here.
Giovanni - this little home wrecker destroyed one cute relationship because he wanted someone to fuck him. Really. Had a friend - Mathilde Goth - who was in a happy relationship, even pregnant then, but still he seduced her. They slept together. So, Mathilde was feeling guilty, she dumped her boyfriend and ended her pregnancy while she still could. Fortunately Giovanni is a fortune sim with a soft spot for aliens, so he won't be sad when Mathilde won't became pregnant with him - she now can't have babies. She silently believes that Giovanni will be abducted by aliens so she will have a baby of her own.
Flamenco's kids: Tina - got married to James Marsh, older brother of Tiffany Marsh (who is John Burb's mother). She was focused on her career for most of her adult life but had one child with James, boy Matthew. James is constantly cheating on her with his stepmother, but she doesn't know. Matthew does, though. And he is silent about this.
Gina - got married to Damien Danders, younger brother of Diane Danders (who is Daniel Pleasant's mother). Wanted a big family, but only had one boy, Lucas. She was disliked by her in-laws because she's part alien. Damien had a violent strike in their marriage and she was sitting for years near ticking bomb. Damien, shady businessman (more on him later) got her admitted do Mental Asylum.
Dina - popularity sim. Story wrote itself, as she met Michael Bachelor by complete accident - they hit off and married. She became step-mom for his two kids, and had a son of her own. He is green. Also, Dina climbed top of politics career and became mayor or Pleasantview.
Nina - fortune sim. For reasons unknown to me, as a young adult wanted to have a baby, even though she was completely single then and was pursuing medical career. She met Mike Steel, who was mending his broken heart, she led him to bed and has his child. Mike felt responsible so he asked Nina to move in and marry (altough he was terrified she would say "no"). She said yes and they learned to love each other. They recenlty moved into Strangetown.
Vin - the youngest of Flamenco kids. Got married to Beatrice Bachelor (who is Michael Bachelor's daughter from his first marriage). He inherited his family home, but recently they sold it and build completely new one. They have two sons together, Ciro and Noa. Noa inherited green skin and his moms red hair - cutest combo ever.
4th generation: Muineira (Jive and Beryl) - single, aspiring to be known book author, lives with Frida and his brothers. Salsa (Jive and Beryl) - married to Haneul Huang and moved in with him. Young teacher, still tries to befriend her in-laws. Rumba (Jive and Beryl) - involved with Daisy Dreamer (younger sister of Darren Dreamer). She moved in with him and lives with him and his two brothers and grandmother. Fandango (Jive and Beryl) - just became and adult. Had a brief fling with girl named Honey, but they separated. Maybe he will get involved with Tara Kat, who moved into town recently.
Carmel (Carioca and August) - a teen who has completely no luck in love. Wants to be a plantsim or marry an alien. Obvs has a thing for color green.
Evaristo (Priscilla and Aurelio), Ermes and Elvira (Lucilla and Edward) - still a babies and kids.
Matthew (Tina and James) - married and has a baby of his own, Rex.
Lucas (Gina and Damien) - married his girlfriend, Miverva Goth (adopted daughter of Wulf Goth - Morty's twin brother) and they have three kiddos together - boy Blaise and twin girls Laetitia and Laura.
Artem (Nina and Mike) - recently became and adult and married Freya Beaker (who is Bjorn Beaker's younger step-sister).
Dylan (Dina and Michael) - popularity sim who wants to follow his mothers politicial footsteps. Single, lives with his mom, dad, uncle and aunt.
Ciro and Noa (Vin and Beatrice) - nothing much to say here. Ciro is a teen and Noa is a kid.
Business idea: rundown, inherited, love motel being turned into profitable "adult-fun" venue ;)
We will see how chosen sim will manage.
Also, wanted to be minimal. Sloppy vibe also intentional xD
So, those are Hae (black) and Nova (blonde). They are married for some time now and recently they started talking about adopting a toddler.
Hae is adventurer and Nova is popular painter in Pleasantview, so they could afford bigger home and give a small house in Downtown some much needed remake.
So, from this:
To that:
(Yes, their dominant colors are purple and black...)
