People don’t trust the Caliente sisters because the sisters don’t trust them. But that’s just the attitude you have to develop when you grow up fairly poor, hiding alien heritage from the world and your ambitions to do better for yourself from your easily insulted parents. Dina wants to earn enough money that she’ll never have to stress again, and Nina craves a life that she can look back on and say “that was fun” regardless of how much money it costs her to have fun. But their differences never tear them apart - they both know they probably couldn’t survive facing the world alone. Dina helps her sister find something to do when the bars are closed and her lovers are busy, and Nina helps Dina relax.
 
Dina Caliente
Personality: Sagittarius, 2/8/1/8/6, Nature Hobby
Aspiration/Secondary: Fortune/Family
LTW: Earn 100,000
Degree: Drama
Somewhere between rounding up Nina when she broke her curfew and breaking her own curfew, Dina met a young Jessica Peterson and the two of them became friends for life. The plan was always simple: Marry a rich guy, run off with his money together. But then Dina met Michael and… well… she knew she’d fallen in love with her ‘mark’ when his bank account turned out to be 99% support from his sister and she realised she didn’t care. But since the world has decided she doesn’t get her happy ending, the least she can do is use Jessica’s old plan to provide for her and Nina. It’s not like Jessica calls anymore, which hurts more than Michael’s death if she’s being honest. Dina doesn’t make friends lightly, especially not ones she plans to run off with.

 
Nina Caliente
Personality: Scorpio, 8/2/9/2/4, Sports Hobby
Aspiration/Secondary: Romance/Pleasure
LTW: Have 20 Simultaneous Lovers
Degree: Drama
Nina is a firm believer in the age old philosophy that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. It takes her mind off of her lack of money. Some people accuse her of being abrasive and you know what, maybe it’s true but at least it keeps llama-spitters away from her and Dina. Apart from Dina and, (obviously) Brandi though the only other person Nina trusts is Don. They were practically attached at the hip growing up, they’re like best friends with a lot of benefits. They do disagree though, a lot. Nina’s not in the business of lying to people about her dislike of monogamy. Don lies. A lot. But hey, he’s the only person who will play catch with her since she always aims for the eyes.

The Brokes are essentially invisible to most of Pleasantview, until they get in someone’s way. With a view from their trailer of the Pleasantview Land Development Project’s newly built up commercial district, sprawling ever outward as if trying to envelop them, the Brokes are all too aware that right now just existing puts them in people’s way. But who has the time to worry about that when you’re a new single mother with more immediate concerns?
 
Brandi Broke
Personality: Aries, 3/6/4/6/6, Arts and Crafts
Aspiration/Secondary: Family/Popularity (Thanks random number gen…)
LTW: Graduate 3 Children From College
Degree: None
Brandi is one of the kindest people around. She can be a bit impulsive and act without thinking, that’s just one reason she married and settled down so young. She did love Skip though and is a devoted mother who has settled into a more responsible role. Sometimes she wishes she could get out of the house more but she honestly prefers looking after Beau and Dustin to the nights out Dina and Nina constantly try to badger her into coming on. She wants better for her children and has put Skip’s life insurance aside for their college funds, but she wishes Dustin wasn’t so… loud about his ambitions. She doesn’t want him to get in any trouble for it.

 
Dustin Broke
Personality: Aries 3/6/4/6/6, Nature Hobby
Aspiration: Fortune
LTW: Become Head of SCIA
Alright, first of all, you’d be ‘angsty’ too if you were living in a suburb like Pleasantview full of upper middle-class and flat-out Rich people who constantly look down on you for how much money you have. Second of all,  Lilith put graffiti on the water tower with him and SHE didn’t get charged because she’s a Pleasant and her mum Knows People. If Dustin acts out it’s because he hates feeling so powerless, knowing the trailer he’s spent his entire life in could be sold away by some goofball he’s never met with the right simoleons. He's determined to become head of SCIA so nobody can make him feel small ever again, but he doesn’t want to become One Of Them either. He plans to change the corrupt system from the inside out. He takes after Brandi more than either of them realise, the only thing that divides them is that he’s pre-occupied with money while Brandi doesn’t mind as long as her family can be happy.

 
Beau Broke
Personality: Gemini, 6/7/4/3/5, Music + Dance Hobby
Beau is young but already seems a little different to the rest of his family. He’s far more serious and neat, never making the messes that Dustin did as a toddler, but he still retains the kindness that Brandi and Dustin (To those he trusts) are known for. He’s something of a musical prodigy, but please Nina Brandi is begging you not to buy him a recorder for his birthday.

The Burbs aren’t the first family to move to Pleasantview seeking a safe town and fresh air. They wanted to be closer to Jennifer’s family… they weren’t expecting to be this close! Finding space for Daniel in their new house has drained their funds, but family is more important than anything in the world isn’t it?
 
Jennifer Burb 
Personality: Gemini, 4/7/6/3/5, Sports Hobby
Aspiration / Secondary: Fortune / Popularity
LTW: Become Business Tycoon
Degree: Biology
Jennifer knows that what Daniel did is wrong, she’s not defending him! But he is her brother, and once upon a time before she realised she had a head for numbers they dreamed of being the brother-sister superstar soccer duo that would take Sim Nation by storm! He had nowhere else to go, what was she supposed to do? When she’s not providing for her family and buying modern furniture, Jennifer is kicking a soccer ball around.

John Burb
Personality: Aries, 4/4/4/7/6, Nature Hobby
Aspiration/Secondary: Family / Knowledge
LTW: Reach Golden Anniversary
Degree: Literature
John was born to be a dorky dad. Bad jokes, an even worse sweater, and dad jeans. He’s, rightfully, furious with Daniel. But the guy really didn’t have anywhere else to go, and after talking it out with Jennifer they both agreed there weren’t many other options. John is a devoted husband who keeps the house running while Jennifer works, they make a great team. The only thing he loves anywhere near as much as her and Lucy is the huge garden that convinced him to move to Pleasantview.

Lucy Burb
Personality: Cancer, 6/4/3/7/5, Film & Literature Hobby
Lucy wants to be just like her big cousin Angela when she grows up, hence the green! She’s thrilled to be living closer to her family, and other kids. It seemed like only grown-ups lived in Downtown. She doesn’t get why her dad and uncle Daniel have to argue so much though, Uncle Daniel is the only person who cleans up as much as her! So far she’s had her parents’ undivided attention, and it’s helped her grow into a playful, happy child. But that might change with her uncle Daniel moving in and the extra bedroom space this place has.

 
Daniel Pleasant
Personality: Virgo, 6/3/6/4/6, Tinkering Hobby
Aspiration / Secondary: Romance / Popularity
LTW: Become Hall of Famer
Degree: Biology
Daniel’s gone from the top of the world to a social pariah. Losing his family has taught him the value of it sure, and he wants to focus on his relationship with Angela and Lilith. But that’s both very risky and terrifying considering how mad they are at him. He’s getting old, he’s a pretty big name in sports, so why not just live the life his younger self always wanted? It’s easier to run from your mistakes.

The Pleasants are the poster family for Pleasantview’s reputation of modern suburban bliss… and it’s hidden scandals. More than anyone else they’re crumbling beneath the pressure of expectations - if not from their neighbours then from Mary-Sue’s political career, or Daniels superstar sports career, or each other. The Pleasants are a parade of drama, which is very entertaining if you don’t happen to be a Pleasant. However, Daniel's latest dalliance with the maid and the subsequent fallout may prove to be their last straw.
 
Mary-Sue Pleasant
Personality: Gemini, 5/8/6/3/3, Music Hobby
Aspiration / Secondary: Fortune / Popularity
LTW: Earn 100,000 Simoleans
Degree: Political Science
Mary-Sue is a practical, goal-oriented Sim. Her hair was getting in her way while she filed, she cut it short and tied it up. Politicians have happy families, she married Daniel and had children. Daniel cheated, she divorced him, kicked him out, and kept his name to save herself having to reprint her campaign posters. Now all she has to do is pull the shreds of her family back together and save her career from the fallout of the scandal rocking Pleasantview…. Ugh. She’s going to need more hair ties


Angela Pleasant
Personality: Aquarius, 4/3/9/7/5, Nature Hobby
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Become Media Magnate
Kind and friendly to anyone who isn’t Lilith, Angela wants to travel and start her own newspaper about animal welfare and the environment. She doesn’t care about money or class like her parents and is a little disgusted by their obsession with it, but keeps her opinions to herself because she often feels like the stability of her family depends on her being a perfect daughter, her straight As are the only things that seem to make her parents smile. She doesn’t hate Lilith really, but she naively assumes her parents must have had true love to get married, so what caused the tension? The only explanation she can think of is how mad they always are at Lilith. Maybe when she matures a little she’ll stop blaming her sister and herself for their parents’ failed marriage. 

Lilith Pleasant
Personality: Aquarius, 2/3/8/5/3, Sport Hobby
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Become Celebrity Chef
Everybody in the Pleasant household takes their drama out on Lilith, it’s not her fault her parents had a sham of a marriage and Angela’s perfect little princess routine wasn’t enough to keep them together. People often asks her why she wears her hair so similar to Angela’s if she hates being her sister so much. Psh. It’s not looking different to Angela that matters, it’s showing that she’s doing something different to how Angela does it. She’d like to move to the more exciting city when she’s older and explore the witchy rumours she’s heard about that place, maybe even open her own restaurant? It’s important to her to have dreams away from this hellhole house. 

Daniel's bio will be included with the Burbs!
