Please do the Desiderata Valley tour too 🥲🙏 I feel like people are less interested because we don't have much long-term content gameplays for these not-base game hoods. I would really love to see a tour from the entire uberhood, even the hoods that are not "original TS2" or maxis! This video was so relaxing to watch, even with all the drama of PV 😂 thank you again for sharing 💛
Thank you!! and yes, I also feel like the EP and original hoods don't get enough love, I will try and tour all the the different subhoods! :D and maybe I will be the change I want to see in the world and do a proper series about one of them some day, hahaha.
Always love seeing how the premades are interpreted and how their lives develop in other simmers games, via your Pleasantview + posts on Tumblr I discovered what a Uberhood is and have been hooked on your stories since! Getting a behind the scenes peek made for a fun video!
@@lf7234 thank you!! I find it really fun too, its cool how different they turn out in different games. It is really cool you also read on tumblr, I am never sure how much overlap there is between it and UA-cam :)
@@chrisathian5450 Simmers have made the premade neighborhoods into downloadable subhoods; when you attach them to a main hood thats also a premade hood you get what fans call a Uberhood! Katattys Pleasantview here is the main one with the subhoods attached for her Pleasantview Plus uberhood series :) Its fun cause you can get new relationships and interactions between premade sims who normally cant interact, and this can open up new story possibilities for them; like say for example Cassandra Goth heard about the sightings of Bella Goth in Strangetown so she moves there to investigate. The amount of sims/characters you get when starting a Uberhood can be daunting and a lot to go through tho
This was very entertaining! Not clue how you keep up with all the stories and drama but love how interwoven you've made everyone, even in wholesome ways like the mom group.
This was brilliant! I really loved this! It was both fun and interesting to see how all of the families have turned out and how things have mixed between the different subhoods too. I would say I'd love to see a part two, but I noticed you've already released it by now so I'll pop straight onto that one 🥳Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing! I would definitely be interested in more parts of this tour, showing all of every neighbourhood! I absolutely loved your idea of the summer camp😍 can’t believe all the drama! I’ve always had ACR installed but barely anyone cheats, I have really tuned down the settings so I can keep it mainly for the autonomous (usually faithful) romantic interactions and the risky woohoos!😊
Thank you for watching, another part is on the way :D I am a little envious you've managed to keep ACR under control so well! It makes my sims act nuts, lol
@@katatty I’ll look forward to it!🤩 I’d like to do a tutorial on ACR tuning but its been that long since I did it, I’d have to re-learn some of it myself! But, I’m re-doing my downloads folder and am determined to re-download everything fresh instead of copying old files so I’ll get to it eventually! 🤞
@@placetocrash not too nosy at all, i am happy to share 😁 (except veronaville, i may skip that because of spoilers haha) I just i am never sure which things will be interesting for people and when i am going into waaay too much detail, haha. really glad u enjoy!! ❤❤
Thanks so much for sharing! I love getting ideas of how other people play especially because my gameplay can get fairly stale. The mom's group and family sims that still cheat are things I never considered
Thank you, I really love the mom's group! family sims cheating is not always my own idea, ACR gives sims a lot of autonomy in that regard! XD Glad it gave you some fresh ideas :D
Thank you for the video! Listening to you psychoanalyze your sims is a lot of fun. As another Tumblr follower, I would be happy to watch any other neighborhood tours. I got a little nervous at 48:10, it would be crazy if someone died during the neighborhood tour... lol
I have never had a sim die by satellite, but I guess that would be one way to sort out the John/Jennifer dialema, lol! Glad you enjoy my psychoanalysis rambles :)
Your videos made me really enjoy The Sims again. While I can only play 4(wish I had 2!), your videos and storylines inspire my own games. Looking forward to this!!
I love your reimagining of DV! What a great idea, I'll have to steal it. It's funny you say you keep things plain with decorating during your own gameplay because I use so many of your builds in mine! Lol.
I just discovered you have a UA-cam channel and I love this kind of video! I use your makeovers (LOVE your Veronaville makeovers) all the time! Subscribed immediately!
from being practically no cc to 24gb is insane! my absolute fave household are the Oldies... the way ur mind works is so fun. i'll deffo make them swingers in my pleasantview too that just sounds so fun to me. i love the summer camp idea! it's so cute having the kids go somewhere nice. i'd love to see a more in-depth video explaining the system. do the parents pay a fee? can they visit their kids? it's just a really neat system to me i'll deffo include it in my own gameplay. this was a fun video! i look forward to seeing the rest of ur uberhood
Awww, thank you!! I feel like the cc is just that high because it's like 9 years worth of downloads, lmao, I would love to start it fresh (and kinda have with Spruceburg etc) but having to remake all the sims and the houses would be so annoying! haha There's no fee! In theory the parents could visit the kids (and David Ottomas did visit to see his siblings + girlfriend) but I didn't actually bother for the most part because the round was only 5 days and it would have been hard to fit in xD The kids do visit home for big events, though.
This is a big boy tour, lol. 24GIGS?! There are simmers with half of that and it's Pink Soup central for them. It's a miracle the game doesn't cause your computer to blue screen, lol. Thank God I wasn't drinking anything during the Dreamer's part. I totally LOL at your comment about Brandi. I don't know about her being on any drugs, but she does seem to have some trust and control issues. She's always on the edge, and need to fully learned to relax to enjoy the moments of life. I like your switcharoo of Downtown and Desiderata Valley. It actually makes Desiderata interesting. I hope Dirk can find something that makes him standout. Out of the Pleasantview Teens, he gets the least attention. I'm curious, what's the total census of this hood? A little over playable 200 sims maybe. Thanks for the tour!
@@NewSpiritWhosThis0707 I do sometimes get pink flashing after playing for a few hours if its a large or very heavily decorated lot, but mostly it behaves! I dont think Brandi is on drugs either, but have seen speculation maybe the developers were trying to imply something with her lol. She is one of my favourites tho! And yeah, I feel bad I have less to say about Dirk but I think he's just the most emotionally stable and mature of the group, haha. I am really looking forward to playing him in Downtown and helping him make it as a bigshot lawyer :D Thanks so much for the kind words!!
@@happymoohorse Thanks so much! the universities are not as busy as they used to be since the premade YA and teens have mostly all graduated, so I could probably fit in a quick tour :D
im loving this overview so much! i also feel like dustin would totally be om with a kid that isnt his biologically. like, hed be the dad that steps up haha , him running the summercamp and loving kids and taking care of them, i can totally see it! or it even bring them back together somehow! (this makes me really want to recreate this scenario, so fun )
awww, thank you!! I totally see that, Dustin to me is somebody very nurturing and good with kids, I think he has a big heart! Honestly I have always been rooting for him and Angela to get back together eventually, they are probably my OTP, but I like my sims having lots of autonomy, too. Their love lives have both got sooooo messy so we'll have to see what happens 😁
I am making recolours, so it's a type of custom content! I haven't done it in a while but found teaaddict has a good tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/QgJWLSBRVKQ/v-deo.html
i like how cassandra cheated instead of don, it gave a real twist. most people go by the book, either don not settling in with cassandra or don cheating, but this story pans out differently and we love to see lol
thank you! I do a mixture of story planning and just seeing how things play out in the game, but in this case Cassandra really suprised me, it was a cool twist for me too! :D
I have an Uberhood AND I did Daniel Pleasant have a baby with Samantha Hayden from The Sims Life Stories. Also I linked Sharon Foss from Four Courners with Elliot Lewis from Arbor Falls. Keats Margison had twins with Cassandra Goth
@@hookedbycrafting5348 I dont use those skins, but I think its the manniquin skin you can see in debug mode, no idea why it appears on all my thumbnails tho 🤣
@@nothagrid gameplay-wise it was just a bunch of students living together in some tents, playing music and growing their own food :) some of those same students started another commune Downtown so i can show how that works next episode :)
I have been listening to the whole video while working, it was amazing to keep my mind busy, thank you so much Katatty for this !!! It was super interesting !
sure, it's a desktop PC, processor is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor and has 32gb of ram - I am not sure the sims really utilises the specs properly though because the game doesn't always run super smooth, lol xD
