Pleasantly Strange - Chapter 4

This was meant to be posted closer to actual Christmas, but I got started too late for that to happen. So just pretend this was posted two weeks ago, okay? Happy new year, anyway. ;)

I liked that Lucy noticed that quite a few of her friends had missing parents. (Missing mothers, especially).
And you dress Angela in the same formalwear I did. Or maybe she came with that, I forget :P

Dina would be evil to Alex :(

Yeah, I just sort of realised myself while I was writing, that half the kids in Pleasantview are missing a parent, and then Buck and his brothers were added to the total of that, too.

Angela does come in that formalwear. Actually I think all of her default clothes are green, so I didn't change any of that, just gave her some green outerwear to match too.

Dina is not a good person in this story... but more on that later. :)

I really like the expressions in this picture, too.

I want to see what Dina is like for you.

Poor Pleasantview. EA really likes messed up families, doesn't it? Even a lot of the later neighbourhoods have messy families.

Heheh, getting the different facial expressions is fun. I had to turn off their speechbubbles so I could get those pictures, or someone's speech bubbles about fish or something would block someone's face.

EA does like its dysfunctional families... But really, where would the fun be in a neighbourhood where everyone was perfect happy married couples with 2.5 kids? :) Personally I think that's why Desiderata Valley is so boring. Almost all the characters there is a married couple with one child. No drama! No mystery! No fun.

I both love and hate the speechbubbles. Why can't we just click on them to move them when we don't want them?

I like Desiderata Valley...but I think I'm a freak. Everyone else seems to pretty much ignore it.

The speechbubbles are fun in regular gameplay, but they get in the way when trying to take pictures... especially pictures of big crowds of sims!

DV is okay, it kinda grew on us when we played the MegaHood, but I still think it's my least favourite out of them all...
