Every Family sim in Sim State has a dream family home in their mind. White picket fences, friendly neighbours, a huge lawn for the kids to play on with the dog, and it simply has to be in Downtown’s ‘nicest’ suburb - Pleasantview. With it’s own local school that also serves Bluewater Village, a large enough local government to justify a small city hall and an even smaller police station in the civil district, a shopping strip that makes for a good day out, all the ‘unsightly’ trailer trash, junk, and illicit activities pushed out to a single road, the honor of being home to the Goth family, and many affordable new condos built with ~~real~~ Not Too Rubber Looking palm trees, this town on the river bank has gathered quite the good reputation. Downtown and Belladonna Cove are even beginning to petition higher authority because both want to claim it as their suburb.

But reputation exerts pressure, and a little town is such a small, vulnerable container for that pressure. Sooner or later an explosion is inevitable. Family sims across Sim State would be horrified if they knew the true extent of Middle Class Scandal that is spreading rapidly across Pleasantview. Or maybe, if they thought for five minutes about a home other than their dream one, they’d notice the simultaneous existence of a trailer park and the Goth Mansion in such a small town. Maybe they’d feel an ounce of remorse for adding to the demand driving up land value in Pleasantview, and quietly move their dream home daydreams to Desiderata Valley.
