Daniel Pleasant

Daniel Pleasant is a pre-made adult who lives in Pleasantview with his family: wife Mary-Sue Pleasant, and their twin daughters, Angela Pleasant and Lilith Pleasant.

Life leading up to The Sims Console
Daniel appears in The Sims (console) along with his family in SimValley. He wears the same thing he does in The Sims and has a 20+ relationship with his whole family.

Life leading up to The Sims
He appeared in The Sims as a child, along with his parents (who are deceased in The Sims 2) and sister Jennifer Pleasant.

While all children in The Sims are the same age, The Sims 2 establishes that he is much older than Jennifer. He would probably have been a teen at the time of The Sims, except that The Sims doesn't have a teen life stage.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
Daniel works in the Athletic career track as an Assistant Coach. Unknown to Mary-Sue, he is having an affair with the family's maid, Kaylynn Langerak. He's also enemies with Angela's boyfriend, Dustin Broke and dislikes her dating him. He has not met Lilith's boyfriend, Dirk Dreamer - why this is so is up to the imaginations of individual players. Daniel has red hair and a red beard. While neither of his parents had red hair, he might've inherited it from his grandparents. He wears a tan jacket over a white mock-neck shirt, blue jeans and brown dress shoes. When you first play the family, he is 5 days away from becoming an elder.

Daniel's relationship with his wife is very poor, and at the start of the game they are not even best friends, much less in love with each other. One of the neighborhood story-telling pictures shows Mary-Sue rejecting Daniel's WooHoo for work, and one of the family's story-telling photos shows Daniel and Mary-Sue arguing. Mary-Sue's apparent obsession with her job may have caused their relationship to suffer, and may have been the source for Angela and Lilith's own fighting.

His father Jeff died without achieving his dream to be the first man to set foot on Mars, and Daniel feels guilty for it. (When The Sims was released, Maxis was developing a game called SimMars, but it was shelved due to the overwhelming response to The Sims. It's possible, though highly speculative, that Daniel's guilt about Jeff not getting to Mars is a nod to that.)

For some reason, Daniel's personality has changed in Sims 2. In The Sims, his zodiac sign was Sagittarius but now he's a Virgo.

Despite the fact Daniel has the Romance aspiration, his memories of marrying Mary-Sue are positive.

Daniel has 9 body points, while Athletic jobs from Superstar (level 7) up require 10 body points. This may have been an error by the game's creators. (One outcome of the Superstar chance card is a promotion to Assistant Coach, but there is no Athletic track card that can promote a Sim to Superstar.)

Daniel's memories
His memories indicate that Jeff and Diane died while his daughters were toddlers and his sister was pregnant with her child.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
An announcement to the community on The Sims 3 site stated that Daniel and Mary-Sue make a comeback as a newlywed couple enjoying their honeymoon on Sunlit Tides.
