  • Summer is starting in Pleasantview, and this is how I manage all the sims moving back to the 'hood and all the sims moving out to university!

    100 years is nothing to sneeze at! Good job!

    I love to see there's other people still playing The Sims 2 and actually playing it very similar to my own gameplay. I always thought I was a bit crazy with my rotational systems (which maybe I am, but at least I'm not the only one lol). Great video!

    I came home from work, very angry after being kept late, and this video is just the chill that I needed to calm down.
    Though I have no clue who any of these people are, I need to watch the other Pleasantview videos.

    Owwoooo it looks massive! I love to see how others play their hoods, all their progress and ideas! It's so inspiring! I can't wait for more future videos from you 🥰🥰 I'm just curious about something, how long does it take you to play a rotation? 😅

    Autumn boosts are a lifesaver at uni! I hope you'll show us the dorm gameplay some time, it looks like a fun group.

    I always keep university in autumn too! It also helps pleasure/popularity/romance sims roll skill wants more often so they are less likely to drop out if you play wants-based.

    Been loving these videos so much, it’s relaxing to watch and it’s also fascinating seeing the history of your Pleasantview.
    Also I never thought of setting the university neighbourhoods to permanent autumn for the skill gain! Thanks for the tip 😁

    Damn I just restarted Pleasantview, and am about 5 years in. I can’t imagine getting all the way to 100- its so impressive. Ive been following rules already on procreation and allowing students to fail- how have you managed that with so many generations?

    • @Katie_Catastrophe
      @Katie_Catastrophe  Год назад +2

      I never expected to keep playing so long, so I never controlled the population, but ACR helps with limiting fertility (most of the time lol)… I used to work so hard to get all my students to pass college but now because there are so many I’m a bit calmer… if they drop out they go back early, and the game punishes them with fewer want slots so that works for me! I actually have my next video coming out tonight which is all about how I do university, so I hope that helps too! Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

    thats alot of work to get them all even to 2nd gen. Buck Newson? is he child of one of the Newson kids?. i like seeing how others play out the premade nhoods, it got me back into ts2. wish i still had or can find my save file from aeons ago xD

      do you align university rotation with main nhoods rotation? like do you have the young adults age at the same time? cause im not sure what to do on that. not all sims have to or might "want" to go to college. and the uni might be a "suspended time" kinda thing.but then you cant play tje main nhood/other subhood sims until the sims you sent to uni are out? its a little confusing

      @Katie_Catastrophe  Год назад +1

      @@gdust6579 I send them all in batches, so if sim A would age up on the first day of summer but sim B would age up on the fourth day, they both go to the university bin and both do uni during the fall season. It’s not perfect and it probably messes the ages up a bit but it’s the only way I can stay sane 😅 Buck is Gavin Newson’s son, Gavin is the second eldest OG Newson 😊

    A few years ago I created a list to find and track their age again, and then I turned it into a table, but I guess I may not have completely taken note of each family's age at the beginning of the game. I'm not sure. I don't want to reset the game recording, I've gone too far in families. Do you have a list that shows how many days families stay in days or how many days are older than each other? Or, you know a list that someone else created. I think I haven't played sims 2 in 2 years and now I'm afraid to open the game to avoid doing anything wrong, I'm afraid to disrupt the whole order. Can you help me or can you give an advice for that?🙏🏻🍀Especially Desiderata valley, Riverblossom Hills, Belladonna Cove, Downtown , College Towns, Bluewater Village. I've tried to find others in the beginning of the video and found some of them but I don't know much because they usually don't know much about these worlds but ofc if I find the age record of all the original worlds in The Sims 2 put it back into a list and play it, I'll enjoy it more and there won't be any confusion. Please help me with this.

      Thank you for commenting! I don’t have a list of ages at the start of the game, sorry! And I haven’t played enough of the hoods other than the base ones to offer any help 😅 I take a pretty casual approach to the rotations and don’t try to sync ages. I always play the Broke family first so I think they ended up a rotation ahead before I started playing properly rotationally.
      My advice would be not to worry about messing it up, I never play houses the same order each round, I play the story to want to play whenever I load in, I just make sure not to play more than to the end of the season. ❤️
