Pleasantview

Pleasantview is one of the three premade neighborhoods in The Sims 2. In theory at least, it is the neighborhood from the original Sims 25 years on. It is also mentioned that Gunther Goth founded Pleasantview.

The Pleasantview Tattler
In the instuction booklet for Glamour Life there is a little section that would appear to be like a little article from a gossip magazine called The Pleasantview Tattler. In it it talks about how when Cassandra and Don are out for dinner she spots him eyeing the Caliente twins as they jogged by. She then got mad and stormed out. This puts their engagement on the rocks as she is now beginning to see him for who he really is. There is another section talking about how Dina really would like to marry Mortimer... and soon.
