Jeff Pleasant

Jeff Pleasant is a premade Sim who first appeared in The Sims. He is the son of Les Pleasant and Kynda Pleasant, husband of Diane Pleasant, father of Daniel Pleasant and Jennifer Burb and grandfather of Angela Pleasant, Lilith Pleasant and Lucy Burb.

Life leading up to The Sims
Jeff is the middle-aged, kind father of two. He is mostly bald, and what hair he has is a mixture of black and gray. He wears a dark blue tie over a white shirt, with dark blue pants. Jeff works as a Recruit in the Military career track and wants to be promoted to Astronaut so he can live out his dream to be the first man to walk on Mars.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
By the time the storyline has caught to The Sims 2, he and his wife Diane are already deceased (which was very sad since he didn't reach his lifelong dream). His son, Daniel Pleasant, married Mary-Sue Pleasant and had two children, Angela Pleasant and Lilith Pleasant. His daughter, Jennifer Burb, married John Burb, and had one child, Lucy Burb. He can be seen in Daniel, Angela, Lilith, Jennifer and Lucy's family trees. Both Jeff and Diane died around the time Angela and Lilith were toddlers and Jennifer was pregnant.

Trivia

 * There is a chance card in The Sims that gives Sims a chance to go to Mars. It is only available for Astronauts in the Military career track. It is possible that Jeff passed away before he was promoted into one.


 * When The Sims was released, Maxis was developing a game called SimMars. It's possible, though speculative, that both Jeff's dream of going to Mars and the chance card for the Astronaut career were related to that. Likewise, it's possible, though again speculative, that Jeff dying without getting to Mars was a nod to the fact that SimMars was never released.
