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.

Player Stories

 * In my game lots of things happened. Mortimer married Dina, and they had a girl, Glenda, and a boy, Timothy. When Glenda was a baby he died, but Dina resurrected him. Cassandra broke up with Don and got married to Darren. They have a baby, Sofia Dreamer, and they are expecting for twins. Alexander went to Sim State University with Dirk and a townie. He's engaged to Lucy Burb. Lucy's parents, John and Jenny, are happily married and had three more children: Jeff, (named after his maternal grandfather), and twins William and Leslie. (named after their great-grandfathers). Nina Caliente had many lovers, and had four children: Fernando, son of Ashley Pitts, Nighat, with the butler, Leticia, with the brother of Brandi Broke's new husband, and Jennifer, with Don. When Jennifer was born I changed her aspiration to Family. She was a very good single mother, and she taught all the children all their skills. Her sister Dina, before of getting married with Mortimer, had a girl, Flavia Caliente, with Don. When she was a toddler she married Mortimer an both move with him. Brandi gave birth to twins, Aristotle and Antigonus, and after she married to Alfonso Fuencarral. They didn't stay much time in the house. When Brandi had her first child, a daughter, with Alfonso, Dustin move to university alone (he was an A+ student now) and the family moved into a much bigger house.Beau turned into a teen, and he started dating Flavia Caliente. They're in Sim State University. The Oldies are dead, and they still haunting the house they lived (next to ex Broke's home). Daniel did not continue his affair with Kaylynn, and when Mary Sue come back home, he kissed her in front of Kaylynn, and she got mad at him. The twins went on college and now they have a good relationship. They still dating Dustin and Dirk, respectively. Mary Sue is now pregnant with twins. But Daniel had two other lovers, Catarina de Berenguer and Luciana Satini. Catarina gave birth to Manuela and Luciana had twins Viviana and Virginia. He had an affair with Don and Remington Harris, the new maid. Kaylynn was not the maid anymore. She caught Don cheating with Luciana Satini, and was heartbroken. She found the love in Luciana's ex, Carlo (who conveniently caught her cheating on Don, at the same time). Adelisa, the first daughter of Carlo, stay with his father, and Luciana moved into the condo next to Nina's one. She had, totally, nine children. Adelisa, of her ex husband, Vanina, with Don, Enrico, with Jeronimo Fuencarral, twins Martino and Minerva, with a townie, twins Viviana and Virginia with Daniel Pleasant, and another girl whose name I don't remember, with Don. She's at the top of Culinary Career and she expanded a lot her condo, making it a little mansion with a pool and many expensive things. Carlo and Kaylynn had two set of twins, Roderico and Marcello first, and after a boy and a girl, and she's pregnant again, (with twins). Carlo is at the top of the Architecture career, while Kaylynn is at the middle of Intelligence career. They remodelled they condo into a very big house, too. Don, after breaking up with Cassandra, reached his lifetime wish of have twenty lovers. He had 6 daughters :| with different woman.Flavia with Dina, Vanina with Luciana, Teresa and Macarena with Catarina (Vanina, Macarena and Teresa was born at the same time, in the same house. Catarina after gave birth to Manuela and moved out with his new husband, and changed her aspiration into family. The girls are now the three in University, with their respective boyfriend, in the same household), Jennifer with Nina, another girl with Luciana. He's gonna adopt a boy, who will be the "legitimate" Lothario, even though he's in a good relationship with all of his daughters (except for Jennifer, who is a toddler, and the other girl, who's a baby). Many new families moved. The De Berenguers, composed by siblings Amelia, Gabriel and Catarina, the wife of Gabriel, Rita, and the daughter of their, Leonor. Amelia married José de Lerma and Mérida and had one boy, Feliciano. Gabriel and Rita had a set of twin girls, and Catarina had Teresa, Macarena and Manuela, and with his husband, Antonio Selvo, Dulcinea and León. Antonio's parents are dead, and his siblings Lucrecia and Gherardo are not yet married. He's The Law. There are also the Villalars, composed of Ezequiel, his wife Marita, their son Jeremias, (who's dating Teresa de Berenguer), and child daughter Paulina. The Nebredas, a married couple with many children. Ciro I and Rasha are the parents of Darío, who's dating Nighat Caliente and is Jeremias best friend.He has four sisters, two sets of twins.They also had a couple of big dogs. They had a couple of puppies, but Rasha wanted more children, so they gave one puppy to Nina and the other to Ashley Pitts, (who has changed his aspiration to family). And for last, the Astirnos, composed by Rosa and Vivaldo, both elders, and their twin sons, Rolando and Corsicco. There is something strange about Rosa. In the family tree, she appears to be the mother of Rolando and Corsicco, the wife of Vivaldo (for second time, cause he died, but Rosa resurrected her), and the illegitimate daughter of Fatima Simovich :|. She would be the sister, or half sister, of Betty Newbie, and the sister of a townie teen, Sheila, that seems to be an illegitmate daughter of Fatima, too. She is now in the university with Adelisa Satini, and others.


 * In my story I pretty much ignored the Burbs and Oldies. I started with Don getting his four women pegnant, however Cassandra caught him with Kaylynn so the wedding was called off. Don ended up marrying Nina, who gave birth to twins from earlier. Dina married Mortimer in order to get closer to Cassandra. After Dina divorced Mortimer Cassandra and her joined and moved to a new house where they gave birth to their children from Don (twins for both of them). Mary-Sue got fired and came home to find Daniel and Kaylynn together. Mary-Sue divorced him and moved out. Kaylynn and Daniel got married and Kaylynn gave birth to Don's children (you guessed it, twins). The girls both were great friends with Kaylynn and Lilith made up with everyone and took some fasion advice from Angela. Meanwhile, Mary-Sue had moved in with Brandi and was starting to recover from Daniel's betrayal. She was going to leave and look for a new man who wouldn't cheat on her, until she realized that her perfect spouse was living in the same house. Brandi and her were joined and raised Brandi's new baby together. Mortimer threw himself into his research and discovered to secret of being young again. he hired a maid and fell deeply in love with her.


 * In my story I also ignored the Burbs and Oldies. Daniel and Mary sue stayed married because I ignored the chance card. Daniel continued his affair with Kaylynn and had a baby with her, named Kevin. Cassandra married Darren after being left at the alter by Don. They had 3 children together; Harrison, Dyl and Noah. Mortimer died... i didn't bother getting him a wife and Alexander lives in the mansion alone. Nina had two of Don's children but never moved in with him. Brandi became an astronaut and baby Luke joined the family then she fell in love with that burgular who Dustin is friends with. Lillith got engaged to Dirk. Beau got engaged to Angela. My most successful couple is Dina and Dustin, who both want alot of money and are around level 8 in their jobs, they find eachother level 3 attractive and are married in a big house XD with a baby on the way.


 * In My Story I thought I Start off with the Teens of Pleasantview where first I made a teenaged verison of my self living with his mom, dad, brother, sister, Annta, Ungle, and grandmother in a small 5 stories tell building based on one of those house in New York with a store or family business on the first floor with the house on the top floors. As soon as I moved them and had them get sattled and added anything I might have missed when I build the house I have all the member build up atleast some of the skills had dad get a in the business career and while the kids waited for the school bus to arrive the next to take them to school I had the sim based on me to go into the green house out side and plant some tomatos and talk to the fruit trees out side to rise my gardening skills so I can have him plant other kinds off plants to I can really use the juicer to make other kinds of drinks as soon as he finished planting the seens for the tomatos wish I don't have to water because I hada sprinkler systems to water them for me while my sim was talking to the fruit tree outside the school bus came and took all the two teens and one kid to school and soon as my sims and brother came home with a friend school I and had all the kids do there home I had my sister flirt with the friend from school whish was also an Open for business NPC sim named Tosha Go had had them have they're first kiss and after they had there first kiss I had my sim ask Tosha Go to out with him on a date whish turned out a dream date after they had a dream date. After I got my sim Seven Scholarships I sent My Sims along with Tosha Go, The Pleasant twins Angela and Lilith, Dustin Broke, and Dirk Dreamer to College where I hope to sattle the problems that the Pleasant twins Angela and Lilith have and have Angela get married to Dustin Broke and Lilith with Dirk Dreamer and Have my sim get married to Tosha Go.


 * In my game, Mary Sue went to work and came home fired to find Daniel with the maid. She kicked him out, where he found a place with Kaylynn. Lilith and Angela ended up burying the hatchet and married Dirk and Dustin. Mary-Sue lives with the her two daughters families. Daniel, at his new house, came home to find Kaylynn in bed with Don. They got divorced. Not only was Daniel mad at Kaylynn for cheating on him, but at Don for also cheating on him ;). Cassandra actually married Don and got pregnant. On Alexander's birthday, Dina, Nina, Cassandra, Kaylynn, and Meadow Thayer all found eachother heavily pregnant. When Don Lothario-Goth came home the 5 women, and Daniel and John Burb (also Don's lovers) beat him to a pulp. He ended up marrying Kaylynn and he now has 6 kids by 5 different women. The oldies were happy and died. Nina and Dina were great moms and all of Don's prego ladies became great friends. Lucy Burb married Beau Broke. Cassandra married Darren and Mortimer was reunited with the REAL Bella. Alexander died alone, I didn't like him. Ben Long and Marisa Bennet got hitched and actually had ADORABLE LITTLE GIRLS who I married off to Cassandra and Don's/ Darren's kids. Jennifer and John Burb died happy. Brandi Broke ended up marrying her resurrected husaband. She was best friends with Mary-Sue and became really rich. The baby she had, Arc, ended up marrying one of Nina's daughters, Isabella. I love Pleasantview. I also kida did this weird Anne Rice thingy, so for a moment Don Lothario was in my "Akasha's" grip, as a replacement for Lestat. Oh! Don died in a horrible fire. fter Kaylynn, his wife, died of old age, his angry and used x lovers lit his house on fire.


 * In my story Daniel and Mary-Sue split up, Angela and Lilith married Dustin and Dirk. Angela and Dustin now have two kids called Amelia and (forgot boy's name!!!) Lilith and Dirk had Andrew. Daniel got married to Kaylynn but she no longer likes him so their may be a break up there!!! Don and Nina got married and had three kids called Daisy, Maisy and Johnathon who are well cute! Dina married Mortimer Goth and had Phoebe and Emily (the twins) and Will, but then they broke up (I guess she was marring him for his money!) and she is married to a guy who I made called Johnny West and has a son Peter. Dina also has a mini fling with Malcom Landgrabb IV or whatever his name is! I never liked the idea of Cassandra marring Don (she's way to smart for him!) and she caught him with Nina(or Dina, i forgot)so Cassie got married Darren Dreamer(I thought they were made for each other!) and they have a daughter called Claire. Alexander is enagaged to a woman ( I forgot her name!) and are hopefully moving into a new house soon. Jennifer and John Burb obviosly have Lucy but they also had Susie and Georgia who are cute as well. Brandi actually is improving her love life, she has two men on the go at the moment. She had another boy called Skip (after his father) and Beau and Dustin grew up, she has two grand-children. Coral and Herb Oldie live happily together in a small house. Mortimer Goth is still pining for Bella, I really want her back to! LOL
