Genetically Correct Pleasantview with Scripted Events CC FREE
Hey people! Welcome to my latest project - A genetically correct Pleasantview with scripted events!
When I first found out (a while ago) that the playables we all know and love in Pleasantview aren’t actually genetically related to their ancestors, it totally broke immersion for me. For some reason it really bothered me and that kept me from really getting into a playthrough of the hoods that Eaxis shipped with the game. Then I discovered this crazy cool thing that people did which involved extracting the appearances of the first ancestors from each family, and breeding them in CAS from generation to generation, eventually creating Genetically Correct versions of the sims we all know. This is where I began this exhausting journey - there was a lot of learning but I am really happy with how it turned out!
There have been a ton of various Pleasantview makeovers - all of which are super awesome! However, I was unable to find a Pleasantview that not only already had all the sims genetically correct, but still had their relationships, biographies, personalities, and most importantly, scripted events...because let’s face it - who the hell wants to start a new Pleasantview if they can’t play through the cool ass scripted events in the beginning? I know I don’t. And that’s why I made this hood.
What is this? This is a Pleasantview in which I have made all the playable sims (and their ancestors) genetically correct. It contains no cc and was built on top of a clean template Pleasantview as well. Below are pics of the premades:
More Info, pics, and download below the cut!
My main goal for this was to make the premades genetically correct while still keeping them actually recognizable. I know there are some GC versions that are totally different, and I absolutely respect that, but I still wanted to look at Daniel Pleasant and say “Yep, that’s Daniel”.
IMPORTANT: After taking the pictures I realized the skin I use (No longer after this), which I will link below drastically whitewashes the sims. Some sims with skin 3 look super light, such as Daniel Pleasant and Jennifer Burb. They still have the correct skin, it just may appear lighter in my images. I didn’t realize this until after I made the sims and took their pictures. Also note that the eyes may look like different colors. People have said the light blue looks grey, so if you see a strange eye color on a sim it doesn’t match with, be aware it’s likely just the defaults I used.
Notice: I used a mod, equal genetics while creating these sims. I do not claim to be anything but a simpleton when it comes to genetics, and I know that some of these sims’ genetics aren’t realistic - Like a blond and brunette having a blond kid. I don’t claim to know anything about genetics, so before you genetic purists come at me just know - I know this and don’t care.
My general notion was that if one of their ancestors had a gene, then they could too.
With that being said, all living premades with the exception of Coral Oldie, Herb Oldie, Mortimer Goth, and Bella Goth have the same eye and hair colors as they did originally. Some ancestors or dead spouses (like Michael Bachelor and Skip Broke) have had a few changes as well. More on that at the very end, for those interested.
TLDR - General Information
I ramble, I know. The main idea is that ALL of the sims are the same exact sims as you’re used to. They all have the same personalities, zodiac signs, hobbies, jobs, aspirations, relationships, memories, etc...They just have corrected appearances. Scripted events still work, and Brandi Broke’s baby is also now going to be genetically correct and related to both her and Skip.
A few things to note:
- I used a default skin and eyes when taking the pictures. The sims will not come with these. I used Pitstop Skinblend and Poppet Clear Eyes
- Yes, I know Michael Bachelor’s eyes aren’t right. That is fixed in the game.
- This is CC FREE!!
- Brandi’s pregnancy may be a couple hours behind
- All sims have just about the same dominant and recessive traits as they do in the original clean templates from meetme. No sim is homozygous unless intended by meetme/eaxis.
- Sims may get some wants or fears of their ancestors or dead relatives becoming zombies or resurrected, this is just because of the way I did this, their deaths are fresh in the playables minds.
- This hood was build on a clean template Pleasantview, all ancestors and dead sims are safe to resurrect
- This was made with Ultimate Collection, so unfortunately you will need this or all packs for this to work.
- The versions without townies still include Bella Goth, Kaylynn Langerak, and Gordon King.
- When you add the subhood version with townies, you’ll notice that the townie and NPC names get randomized and aren’t their original names. Though annoying, this is normal and you will have to rename them all yourself.
Update:
It seems that some mods can break the scripted events, it was unclear exactly which mods in my folder did it. To circumvent this issue I would recommend that when you initially install and play the scripted events in the hood, take out all of your non essential mods (leave in mods like no unlink on delete, no townie regen, things that are essential) from your mods folder (just mods, cc is fine to stay in) and put it in a safe folder while you just play through the SE - then when they're done, put the mods back in. This seems like a random occurrence - as they only broke 1 out of every 5 times I tested it.

Sadly, we all knew this day would come. Ethan and Grayson will not be posting on their main channel anymore. I have been supporting them for 3 1/2 years and I regret nothing. They both have taught me very important lessons in life. I know they’ll never see this, but I just want to thank them for shaping me to the person I have become. Of course I’m sad, but I’m glad they are taking the opportunity to truly reflect on themselves to do what’s best for them. They’re growing up. Everyone does it at some point. For a long time, I felt like they weren’t who they used to be and it’s hard, nowadays, to produce content you genuinely love because you can’t please everyone, and that’s ok! You don’t have to be a people pleaser. Everyone has their own set of interests. I’m glad they’re still going to do podcasts though! The podcast is a great way for them to just talk and get on a personal level with their fans like they weren’t able to do before. I will continue to support the twins on their social media, Wakeheart, Spread Positivity (their clothing line), through DWTDT (their podcast), and for who they are. Thank you Ethan Grant Dolan and Grayson Bailey Dolan for the best 3 1/2 years of my life. Love you❤️.
Here I am with another lot! Today is a recreation center/gym that I made specially for my hood, but you of course can use it wherever you’d like! It uses minimal cc (7 objects). It features a basketball court, soccer field, sauna, full gym, yoga/ballet room, pool, and more that I’m probably forgetting about.
