I'm Back!

Well, I never really went away.

I've had a few months off from all things sims.  I've been doing a lot of writing and have recently finished the first draft of my first novel.  It will take a long time for me to get it right before it is ready for publishing, but in the meantime, I'm thinking about returning to machinima.

I recently invested in a new computer and it is such a joy compared with my old one, the poor thing was on its last megabytes.  So the new one is a breeze and has much more capacity.  We have put a lot of games on it and it still has room for more!  I booted up The Sims 2, after copying all my saved games, and it loaded super quickly and runs smooth as silk.  So, I am considering continuing Pleasantview.  I made a new blog dedicated to the series.  I am going to put the honeymoon story there and any other bits and pieces that are relevant.  I am doing this mainly because my website is no longer available.  I have put a poll on this new blog, so if you have an opinion about whether I should continue or not then be sure to vote!  Also, let me know if you would like to see anything else on the Pleasantview blog.

Unfortunately, during the swap over of files, I managed to lose my 'Heather Crosby' game files.  The story associated with it was based on pure game play so I made the decision to simply delete it.  I do apologise to anyone who was enjoying it. 

Some of you may also be wondering about Sunset Valley.  I am going to get back to it eventually but am considering marking my return to machinima with an episode of Pleasantview first.

  1. :D So glad you're going to continue the series. I have yet to find someone as talented as you are. Not only the way in which you direct the filming but also the plot. Thank you so much for returning to the series and I hope you realise the number of loyal fans/sim-addicts you have. :))

    Also tell us as soon as your novel is complete. :)

  4. I agree COMPLETELY with TheYellowOne! You should have seen the grin I've had since reading this a minute ago. I was really hoping & had my fingers crossed when I first saw your activity back on youtube, adding the 3rd season's playlist & whatnot.

    With the family car out of commission since before the school year was done in May, I've been the one to basically walk everywhere, getting what we need. Now I don't exactly have problems entertainment wise in this house, (video game junkie to the core among other things) I'm always finding myself back on your Pleasantview series, watching a random episode or season here n there, whenever the mood strikes. Its also very often my inspiration to get back to playing my beloved Sims 2. ^-^

    You have NO idea how much this made my day Doons, & with school knocking at my door once again on August 10th, (& ALL too early mind you, that was pretty much NO vacation! =_= ) I'm in desprate need of a new show to keep my mind SANE these days.

    Well, a returning one's possibility certainly works even better!! Thank you! <3

  8. Yay you are back Doons! I have yet to see a better series from a simmer, and I would be so happy to see Pleasantview resurrect itself!!!! I have personally been dying to see what happens to Lilith..... preggers maybe? lol. Would you tell us what would have happened to Heather and Kirsten? I loved reading your work, your book probably deserves to be a NY times bestseller!
