What did you do with Desiderata Valley charecters?

[Maranatah]

I didn't find this thread here yet, so... Tell us, what did you do with the sims in Desiderata Valley? Families Una, Mole, Bell... :) It's nice to read stories about pre-made sims. ;)

In my game, I just started fresh with them and I'm planning to do something... interesting ;) As soon as I can pull myself from Pleasantview, Strangetown and Riverblossoms where already started to mix things up. :D

[gip-k]

What, do you get more neighborhoods with new expansion packs? This is news to me.

[Maranatah]

Yes, you get new neighborhoods with Seasons, Freetime and Apartment life. Desiderata Valley comes with FT.

[stygia2002]

I hadn't done alot with Desiderata Valley yet before I uninstalled my Sims 2 (I've reinstalled up to Nightlife though...yay!). I did hook up the Cook guy with the O'Malley dread pirate gal...they made an interesting couple...but that's about it.

[Maranatah]

Stygia, congrats for your "new and shiny" game ;)

[stygia2002]

Stygia, congrats for your "new and shiny" game ;)

:lol: Thanks! I haven't been able to play yet, what with real life having to play catchup after the weekend, but I did get started reinstalling. I'm hoping to finish up reinstalling tonight and being able to play tomorrow! :beer:

From what I'm hearing, I assume that you only own the original game (or just a couple EPs).

Yes, you do get new neighborhoods with the new EPs.

I am not sure which is which, but I THINK the new neighborhoods are like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_2#Expansion_packs

(The University ones are schools for young adult Sims, rather than just residential neighborhoods like the rest of them, and if you have Deluxe or Double Deluxe, Nightlife comes automatically with TS2 on the same disk.)

I deleted all my "premade" neighborhoods and Sims, but downloaded the Megahood from here. :rofl:

[Maranatah]

Gosh, there are just too many hoods in my game. I don't know which one to play with! But Desiderata Valley is one, where I'm planning to continue their stories. I've started with make-overs a couple of times but didn't have enought time to concentrate on them better... So I started fresh, again. So far I've given makeovers only to Natasha Una, and she became really pretty! I moved her out, buldozed her house and build a new, little cottage. I really hate maxis-houses... So every family is going to move to their new homes soon and get makeovers. I really like this hood, it's great that there is few beach lots aswell. :)

[beeps]

In my Desiderata Valley, Natasha Una found true love in Ajay Loner. They married and adopted a dog, Rusty. Ajay gave birth to a baby alien boy, Jack, and Natasha gave birth to a little girl, Jill.

Sharon Wirth and John Mole got married ;) (they are from Desiderate Valley right? Im not sure, because I have the Dutch game).

[AlexandraSpears]

I've moved CAS families into that neighborhood, but never did anything with the natives.

[chapink890]

I played the natives a bit, but for the most part I use it for "simselves" of family members and celebrities. my simself has $473,587,658.

[Maranatah]

I started again at DV, and I'm going to play it further than before. First I moved all families to sim bin and buldozed their houses (I still hate Maxis houses with a passion). Then they all moved to their new homes, and got makeovers. I randomized aspirations in the whole hood too.

At the Contrary family, Rick ran away the first day (after fighting with his dad ALOT) but returned as soon as his dad (don't remember the name now) raported him as missing. I wanted to make him stay away from home a little longer :P He's still enemies with both of his parents, so with any luck he'll hopefully run away again. As you can see, I really don't care much about this family.

Sharon Wirth turned out to have 2 bolts of chemistry with John Mole after aspiration changing. Now they both are fortune sims with pleasure as their secondary aspiration. John moved in and they got engaged and married the same day. They now have Sharon's last name, as I really wanted to get rid of John's... Sharon got pregnant. We'll see how many babies are coming to the world with Triplets and Quids-hack... :)

I haven't played yet with rest of the families longer than few sim hours so I'll update more later.

[candinfat]

I just made a bunch of new families, and ignored the pre-made families.

I used to use Desiderata as a test neighborhood, mostly 'cause I found it boring as all get-out. But it eventually broke, so I restarted my game anew. This time, I moved in Cyd Roseland with the Jocques and made them related with SimPE, and I'm writing a story involving him now.

[LoonehWannabe]

This thread needs some love :)

I haven't played in almost a year, so I can't get into too much detail, but this is what happened....

Natasha Una became a werewolf. Then during he night she would got to community lots and savaged all the Sims she saw (townies and neighborhood Sims alike). Soon, everyone in town was a werewolf and Natasha was so proud in making her town... er... unique...

[Maranatah]

I continue playing according to the storyline challenge. So far I have moved half of the families into their new, makeovered homes and played with Natasha and John a little. Natasha doesn't have any chemistry with the rest of playable men in the hood, but she has two bolts with ...umm..something Beare (Uni playable, one of the frat members). They went on a date and Natasha ACR'd so that she became pregnant. She gave birth to a girl, and now she's a stay-at-home-mom who makes money by pottery and painting. I think she'll start a small art shop somewhere in the future.

John Mole doesn't have any chemistry with Sharon Wirth either, but they still keep romancing when they meet. I think I'll see if there's some YA for him too. It's hard to find mates to some of these sims, when they have to be other playables! But that's the challenge. :)

[Peni Griffin]

Kevin Beare. In my game he absolutely refused to let go of his (on the face of it disastrous) crush on Heartbreak Heather Huffington, so I changed her aspiration to family and after an extremely fraught and angsty courtship they're now happily trying for six kids together. I want to name them Honey, Cinnamon, Winnie, Cave, Edward, and Arthur, but so far I've only got Honey.

None of which has anything to do with Desiderata Valley, which I don't have, as I haven't installed Freetime.

[MsScribble]

After Natasha Una's mother died, she decided to sell the house and raised eyebrows by purchasing a badly rundown cottage (the wonderfull Derelict Dreamhouse). She plans to renovate it and make a living selling her paintings and craft ware. She's already started a home business and is trying to sell the stained and mostly broken furniture that came with the house, but she is not doing too well. Its rated -1. Maybe its because everyone has to step over the weeds and stray dogs that like to hide in them. She spends her spare time eating grilled cheese sandwiches and sleeping.
She's very pretty and has a slightly melancholy look.
I haven't played the other charactors yet.
