8th Jun 2009, 10:30 PM	A plot error with the sims 3 and the sims 2 #1
Dafoe2029 Original Poster Lab Assistant Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 209	I was thinking about this last night, The Sims 3 takes place in the past, when Mortimer Goth is a child. The Sims 2 takes place in the future when Mortimer Goth is an elder. The sims 3 speaks alot of Pleasantview. While pleasantview doesnt exist until after Old Town (The neighborhood in The Sims) Why would there be talk of a neighborhood that wont exist for almost 100 Sim Years? Because Will Wright didn't think this plan through all the way i guess lol.

If you're looking for continuity errors, you'll find them all over as they weren't really trying to make it perfect.

But like HP said, it's not ment to be a prequel more a "what if". Everyone will have their favorite chars from past series, so why not include them? What if Mortimer and Bella never met? What if Agnes Crumplebotten had lived a happy life?

An Agnes Crumplebottom exists in TS2, but as a deceased relation to the Goth family. Mrs. Crumplebottom is a distant relation to Agnes. But I still like to pretend otherwise. edit: Those references to Pleasantview are called "easter eggs" and are not necessarily plot canon.

XD Why would everyone just randomly stop using them in 1 and 2? ;D Its not perfect anyways though. I don't like to think too much about it. Assume its a different plot line.

Um, the whole town burned down and they had to remake everything but they forgot how to make cell phones? Temporarily?

The Tragic Clown from S1 is deceased in S3, which is supposed to be a prequel to S1.

Although the Tragic Clown could theoretically be some horrible monster returned from the grave.

Yes, it goes:

Sunset Valley turned into "Old Town" which expanded and was renamed Pleasantview

Hence plotline goes S3>S1>S2

Note that there are MANY Malcolm Landgraabs. I assume this one to be Malcolm Landgraab II as his father Geoffery and from what research I've done, the name skipped a generation or two.

I'm currently playing Riverview, the plot errors in there - Bob Newbie is a young adult - Skip Broke is a young adult or teen I haven't visited the Newbie house, so don't know yet where's Betty, but it pretty much means Skip was realy old when Brandi married him.
