[[Jeff Pleasant\|Jeff]] and [[Diane Pleasant]] are deceased, [[Jennifer Pleasant]] marries [[John Burb]] and has one child, [[Lucy Burb\|Lucy]]. [[Daniel Pleasant]] marries [[Mary-Sue Pleasant\|Mary-Sue Oldie]] and they have twin girls, [[Angela Pleasant\|Angela]] and [[Lilith Pleasant\|Lilith]]. They appear to portray the stereotypical "perfect" upper-middle-class family, as they are Pleasantview's second richest family at the game's start, and seemingly try to behave as if they had no problems. However it is clear, given their relationships with each other, that the family is dysfunctional. Daniel Pleasant is having an affair with their [[Kaylynn Langerak\|maid]], but the player can decide what happens with that. Angela, who seems to be the "sweetheart" of the family, wants to have her first kiss with her boyfriend [[Dustin Broke]]. Lilith is something of a rebel, and has had a rough childhood. When first played, Mary-Sue will either be fired from her job or demoted unless the player decides to ignore the chance card she gets. Either way she is sent home early, which was likely planned by the game designers so that she can catch Daniel with Kaylynn (if the player chooses to have Kaylynn stay after work). The family lives at [[215 Sim Lane]] and has a net worth of §104,000, of which §2,250 is in funds. They will be able to pay their bills, but Mary-Sue's [[Fortune]] Sim wants for stuff will be hard to satisfy. The '''Pleasant family''' has grown bigger in the years following ''[[The Sims]]'', where it was the nicest and most normal family around. Jeff and Diane Pleasant are deceased, [[Jennifer Pleasant]] marries [[John Burb]] and has one child, [[Lucy Burb\|Lucy]]. [[Daniel Pleasant]] marries [[Mary-Sue Pleasant\|Mary-Sue Oldie]] and they have twin girls, [[Angela Pleasant\|Angela]] and [[Lilith Pleasant\|Lilith]]. The Pleasants appear in a [[Television#The Sims 2\|televised]] [[pizza]] commercial, and seem to appear in one of the programs on the "Sims Broadcasting Network" channel. A Sim who appears to be Lilith slaps one who appears to be Angela, then the Sim who appears to be Lilith complains about [[hunger]]. They appear to portray the stereotypical "perfect" upper middle class family, as they are Pleasantview's second richest family at the game's start, and seemingly try to behave as if they had no problems. However it is clear, given their relationships with each other, that family is dysfunctional. Daniel Pleasant is having an affair with their [[Kaylynn Langerak\|maid]], but the player can decide what happens with that. Angela, who seems to be the "goody two-shoes" of the family, is worried that if she doesn't have her first kiss with her boyfriend [[Dustin Broke]], he might want to break up with her (some players evidently prefer to break them up). Lilith is something of a rebel, and has had a rough childhood. When first played, Mary-Sue will either be fired from her job or demoted unless the player decides to ignore the chance card she gets. Either way she is sent home early, which was likely planned by the game designers so that she can catch Daniel with Kaylynn (if the player chooses to have Kaylynn stay after work). In ''The Sims'', it is mentioned that Jeff, Diane, and their family is new to the [[Neighborhood 1\|neighborhood]]. They do not appear in [[Sunset Valley]] or [[Riverview]], even though Jeff and Diane would have been teens, or maybe even children, at that time. This is probably because they are new to the neighbourhood at the start of ''The Sims''. Seeing as the events of ''The Sims 3'' takes place before the events of ''The Sims'', this is possibly the most likely assumption. The family lives at [[215 Sim Lane]] and has a net worth of §104,000, of which §2,250 is in funds. They will be able to pay their bills, but Mary-Sue's [[Fortune]] Sim wants for stuff will be hard to satisfy. The family reappears in [[Sunlit Tides]], a neighborhood which can be downloaded from The Sims 3 Store. In this prequel to the Pleasantview chronology, Daniel and Mary-Sue are young adult newlyweds who are on their honeymoon on a tropical island. ~~The Pleasants appear in a [[Television#The Sims 2\|televised]] pizza commercial, and seem to appear in one of the programs on the "Sims Broadcasting Network" channel.~~ In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Daniel, Mary-Sue, Angela and Lilith can be downloaded from the official Maxis [[The Sims 4 Gallery\|Gallery]] profile. Older versions of Angela and Lilith are also present in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'' as university students living in [[Britechester]]. In ''The Sims'', it is mentioned that Jeff, Diane, and their family is new to the [[Neighborhood 1\|neighborhood]], so it is not surprising that the family does not appear in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', even though Jeff and Diane would have been children, or maybe teens, during that time. (While it was rumored that the Pleasant family would appear in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'', in the new town of [[Twinbrook]], they did not.) {{FamilyPage \|etymology = '''Pleasant''' -- "pleasing, agreeable, enjoyable" Line 41 ⟶ 93: '''Jennifer Burb''' -- (Daniel's sister) -- Popular name meaning "fair, white, smooth" '''Mary-Sue Pleasant''' -- Mary Sue is a term for fictional characters that are portrayed in an overly idealized way, and lack noteworthy or realistic flaws. Also, one of the main characters of the film ''Pleasantville'' (as opposed to Pleasantview) became named Mary Sue when she entered the titular neighborhood. {{For\|Mary-Sue's adoptive parents onomatology\|Oldie family}} Line 47 ⟶ 99: '''Angela Pleasant''' -- The name derives from the heavenly angels. '''Lilith Pleasant''' -- Meaning "of the night". This name was a demon in ancient Assyrian myths. In Jewish ~~and Islamic~~ tradition, she was Adam's first wife but was replaced by Eve. Offspring of Adam and Lilith were the evil spirits of the world. '''Jeff Pleasant''' (Daniel's dad) -- Means either "territory peace", "stranger peace", "hostage peace" or "god's peace". Line 67 ⟶ 119: '''William Marsh''' (John's maternal grandfather) -- Popular name meaning "will, desire" and "helmet, protection" '''Anastasia Marsh''' (John's maternal grandmother) -- Means "resurrection" ~~The only thing I'd like to point out is that Marsh and Burb both describe a place~~. \|tree = [[File:Pleasant-Burb Family Tree.png\|430px]] \|listmembers = [[Angela Pleasant]] No real relation there. All names seem to fit in quite nicely. The name Lilith seems to be very fitting to her character, but holds a really bad reputation. Angela's name is the most obvious, but fitting. Mary-Sue has the "wanting-to-be-perfect" role in the family. Daniel is "Judged by God" for cheating on his wife. Jennifer's name can describe her appearance. ~~\|tree = [[Image:Pleasant-Burb Family Tree.png\|755px]]~~ ~~\|listmembers =~~ [[Angela Pleasant]] [[Lilith Pleasant]] [[Daniel Pleasant]] Line 86 ⟶ 134: [[Kynda Pleasant]] (''Deceased'') [[Les Pleasant]] (''Deceased'') [[Suzanne Pleasant]] [[Marshall Danders]] (''Deceased'') [[Melinda Danders]] (''Deceased'') Line 98 ⟶ 147: [[Anastasia Marsh]] (''Deceased'') [[William Marsh]] (''Deceased'') [[Tucker Burb]] (''Deceased'') \|gallery = <gallery> File:Pleasant_Family (1).jpg\|Pleasant family in the original ''The Sims''. ~~<gallery widths="120">~~ File:Pleasant Family (3).jpg\|Pleasant family in Asian versions of the original ''The Sims''. ~~Image:Main_Pleasant.jpg\|Daniel and Mary-Sue's Wedding.

While there is no reason to assume that she necessarily ''is'' a missing family member, as people do share surnames without being related (and since it's more than likely that the development team forgot all about her), there is certainly room for players to envision her as the ex-wife of one of the ~~Pleasant men~~Pleasants. * An episode of the British sitcom ''[[wikipedia:Outnumbered (British TV series)\|Outnumbered]]'' shows two characters playing a fictionalized version of a ''Sims''-like computer game, with characters purportedly based on the show's central family. However, when the computer screen is shown, it is unmistakably the Pleasant Family of ''The Sims 2'' being played, with Lilith as the active character. {{Pleasant Family}} [[nl:Plezant familie]] [[es:Familia Gentil]] [[fr:Famille Simpa]] [[no:Familien Jovialsen]] [[de:Familie Hübsch]] ~~[[Category:Family bin families]]~~ [[pt-br:Família dos Encantos]] ~~[[Category:Families with 4 generations]]~~ [[ru:Семья Новосельских]] ~~[[Category:Playable families]]~~ [[Category:~~SimValley~~Middle class families]]
